5 games yesterday.
The Leafs beat the Wild in 4-3 in overtime in Sweden. Nylander is having a year. He scored and had an assist and is on a 17 game point streak. Tavares, Matthews, Marner and Nylander the Leafs are stacked offensively. Now goaltending and defense are another story.
The Flyers beat the Jackets 5-2 to push the Jackets losing streak to 9 games, this was the Flyers 5th straight win. The Penguins beat the Knights 3-0. The Sabres beat the Hawks 3-2 and the Blues beat the Ducks 3-1.
The Montreal Alouettes beat the Winnipeg Blue Bombers 28-24 to win the Grey Cup.
7 games for us tonight. There are no games tomorrow so we will be back on Wednesday.
Oilers vs Panthers Betting Tips:
Oilers dropped their last game after winning the previous 3.
The Panthers are 7-2-1 over last 10. But Barkov left the last game after a knee on knee collision. If the captain is to miss any time it’s going to be a big loss for the Panthers.
On the road the Oilers are 2-6 and at home the Panthers are 6-1-0
I would say the Panthers at home would be the tip but the Oilers have come alive despite the loss in their last game. And an injured Barkov also has me put off of this game.
Bruins vs Lightning Betting Tips:
The Bruins have been a huge surprise to me. They set records last season, lose Bergeron and Krejci and are in 1st place overall in the league. They have won their last 2 and are 7-1-2 over last 10 games.
The Lightning have also won their last 2 games but are 4-4-2 over last 10 and are in 4th in the Atlantic.
The Bruins are 11th in GPG, 1st in GAPG and are 6-1-1 on the road. The Lightning are 9th in GPG, 28th in GAPG and 5-2-2 on the road.
With the way the Bruins have been playing I like their chances. They are the top ranked team in goals allowed and the Lightning need to score a bunch to give their goalie a chance. The Lightning have the players to score so this should be a good game. I probably kick myself for not taking the Bruins but I’m passing on this.
Rangers vs Stars Betting Tips:
Rangers are flying right now. They have won 4 straight and are 9-0-1 over last 10. They are 12-2-1 on the season and in 1st in the Metro and 3rd overall.
The Stars are 7-3 in last 10 and are in 1st in the Central.
On the road the Rangers are 7-1-1 and at home the Stars are 4-3.
In GPG the Rangers are 13th, the Stars are 14th. In GAPG the Rangers are 2nd and the Stars are 8th.
This is going to be a good game and I’m not seeing anything I like. Sure the Rangers on that win streak and that will give them a boost but the Stars are no pushover.
Avalanche vs Predators Betting Tips:
The Avalanche have been playing well so far this season. They went 6-2 in October and are 5-3 in November. They bring a 3 game win streak with them into this game.
The Predators are a team I have zero faith in. The are 3-7 in last 10 games.
Statistically speaking the Avs are the better team; 3rd in GPG the Preds 20th, 2nd in shots per game the Preds 20th, 12th in GAPG the Preds 22nd and in SOGA the Avs are 3rd and the Preds 10th.
On the road the Avs are 6-3, at home the Predators are 4-4.
All signs point to an Avalanche win. But I could see this being one of those games where the Preds screw me over as they always do but I like the Avs chances.
Kings vs Coyotes Betting Tips:
The Kings are on a 2 game win streak and 7-1-2 over last 10. The Coyotes lost their last game and are 5-3-2 over last 10.
They have played twice this season with the Kings winning both 6-3 and 5-4.
The Kings are 2nd in GPG and 5th in GAPG, the Coyotes are 15th and 13th.
The Coyotes home record is 4-2 and the Kings road record is 7-0.
With the Kings better offensively and defensively and playing amazingly on the road all signs point to them winning this game.

Flames vs Kraken Betting Tips:
There is nothing I like from this game and it could go either way in my opinion.
Flames on the road are 3-5-2, Kraken at home are 3-5. Flames 24th in GPG, Kraken 28th. In GAPG the Flames are 20th and the Kraken 24th
Sharks vs Canucks Betting Tips:
There really isn’t anything to say about the Sharks at this point. They are 3-13-1 and are ranked dead last in GPG, shots per game, GAPG and shots on goals allowed.
The Canucks have dropped their last 2 but are 7-3 over last 10. They are ranked 1st in GPG and 4th in GAPG. At home they are 6-1-1.
I like the Canucks to win but so do the sportsbooks so we need to determine exactly how they win. With them on a 2 game skid I’ll just skip this game as a Canucks -1.5 play is only 1.71 odds so not worth the risk.
