Only 6 games on the schedule today but some interest in all 6....a couple lines I don't understand...as well as a couple of games that look far to easy that I'm probably falling into a trap, however I have to go with what the numbers say.
SIDES
1* Winnipeg +115 WINNER
1*Tampa Bay -165 LOSER
1* Tampa Bay -1/2 goal regulation +100 LOSER
4* Pittsburgh -1/2 goal regulation -160....even I can't pass this one up after the gift they wrapped up and gave the Blue Jackets last week. They have rebounded nicely since that game winning 3 straight games..Pens have been off since Wednesday , while Columbus has lost 5 straight and is on a 3 in 4 and a 4 in 6 situation WINNER
4* Washington -1/2 goal regulation -150...The Caps look to get healthy at home today against the Leafs who were shut out in Montreal last night 4-0...besides the B2B they also find themselves in a 3 in 4 situation....with Washington coming off three straight loses I think it's a painful day for Toronto....a closer look at those 3 loses shows a loss to red hot Carolina who dismantled the NY Islanders yesterday with ease, a 4-3 rivalry loss against Pittsburgh that was close until the end...and finally a 3-2 loss at Philadelphia in a game in which they went 0-5 on the power play in which they are 2nd in the league at 23% WINNER
2* Anaheim -110....Stars defense is reeling yet this line opened at The Ducks -130 and now in some spots Dallas is favorite -115... I'll back the team that has shown no quit in the last couple games....Ducks have also won 3 straight over the Stars and 4 of the L6 WINNER
3* Vancouver -105 ....I think we get a soft line here as the Canucks come off an extended east coast road trip...however St.Louis is on a very hard fought B2B...Vancouver is 4-0 the L4 vs. the Blues , as well as 5-1 in their L6 home games. WINNER
TOTALS
2* LA/WIN over 5 -130 WINNER
4* TB/FLA over 5.5 +115.....here is another line I don't get FLA gave up 3 goals to Buffalo on 14 shots...they are also playing a much more up tempo game creating 47 shots of their own...they picked up Jagr in which to try and create some offense for a run at the 8th seed in the playoffs .....Over is 5-1 the L6 between the two teams ...but the standout stat to me is Florida is 6-2 to the over this season on B2B games as well as 17-4 the L21 under the same conditions. WINNER
1* TOR/WSH over 5.5 +105... This would probably be a bigger play but I don't trust the Leafs to score. LOSER
4* ANA/DAL over 5.5 -135..... Really expected to see a 6 in this game as Dallas has surrendered 27 goals in the L5 games, they have clearly thrown in the towel, yet they still show the ability to put the puck in the net as well....this one was one of the ones that looks like they trap of the century, however I can't resist . LOSER
2* STL/VAN under 5 +110 LOSER
AS ALWAYS GOOD LUCK !!!!! +9.10 UNITS
