Wow what a night of action that was. Some incredible games, 7 games needed extra time and 4 went to a shootout.
For the tips we went 1-1
We went with over 6 in the Rangers vs Panthers game and this looked like a loss when it was tied at 0 after the 1st period. But both teams score twice in the 2nd and the same in the 3rd and the Rangers won 5-4 in OT.
We also had over 6 in the Coyotes vs Hurricanes game but this one stayed low when the Coyotes won 2-1 in a shootout.
The Leafs lost the 2nd straight game when they were beat 6-4 by the Blues. The Leafs are now 4-6 over their last 10 games. The Lightning beat the Blue Jackets 5-4 in OT. Stamkos and Kucherov both scored.
The Knights snapped their 3 game losing skid when they beat the Sens 5-4. Karlsson picked up his first goal of the season in the loss.
As Graeme said he will be away for a little bit and I’ll be doing the tips while he is away. Thanks to some prior commitments the tips may be late on some days but they will be there I promise.
Ok it’s Sunday, November 5th and we have 4 games scheduled with the start times stretched out nicely. The first game starts at 4:00pm ET, the last at 9:00pm. A great day of hockey. Let’s get to the tips.
Red Wings vs Oilers Betting Tips:
The Wings are struggling. They had a strong start to the season winning 4 of 5 but have gone 2-6-1 since.
The Oilers have also been struggling but they played a strong game in their last contest, probably the best performance all season. The momentum they gained in that win over the Devils is going to carry over into this game.
I like the Oilers to win and I’m going to go with the Oilers in regulation

Canadiens vs Blackhawks Betting Tips:
The Habs are still dealing with a Carey Price injury so Montoya should be getting the start.
Chicago is riding into this game having won their last 2 games, both where shutouts.
The Hawks won the first meeting against the Habs 3-1 on October 10th and can sweep the season series with a win in this one.
Chicago is at home so I like them to continue their strong play in this one. If Graeme was home we would be watching this game with some pints but I’ll have to drink by myself, not a problem.
