The PREDS are a solid top 10 team in the entire NHL. But right now the RAGS are the best. They just had a 9 game win streak snapped with a tough 2-1 loss i n TB,which is nothing to be ashamed of. And they bounced back the next game with a win in FLA making it 12 out of their L14.
And the RAGS are also brilliant on home ice winning 9 of 11 with only one loss in regulation. The PREDS on the other hand are 11-5 this year but are a much more mediocre 4-41 on the road.
Give one of the best teams in hockey at home at -135 any time.

The CAPS just hosted and crushed a young AV's team that has many similarities to the OILERS. They're both loaded with young top end talent. But they also play well for stretches and then for other stretches they totally abandon their defensive responsibilities. And when you do that against considerably better teams,like WASH. You get burned bad by their bigger,stronger and faster top end talent.
The line is waaaayyyyyy above what I would feel comfortable laying S.U on the ML. But the reg -0.5 and -1.5 are both well within my wheelhouse and ripe for a picking.

Last weekend I took the LEAFS as big road dogs since the line was higher than it should be,especially given current form and that it's a rivalry.
And the LEAFS looked good until the very end. And the game was closer than the 2-0 or PL -1.5 cover would suggest.
So now here we are just a couple days later and the LEAFS are still +125 dogs on their home ice ?? I'm not buying it,these teams always play tight and the LEAFS is actual better L10 so I'll take the home pup in this one for sure.
