Did some research to see what the overall league record was for teams coming off the mandatory bye week. Sometimes that many days off can be a negative...for the 11 teams that have been on bye, only 3 of them came out of it with an opening game WIN. 73% winner if you took the team they were playing against, fresh legs but also slow starts? Makes me look at the Yotes a bit harder tonight as Calgary comes back from their bye, both teams have been playing a lot better the past 2 weeks. Nice howling coyote play....+175. Calgary is a younger team, I'm going out on a limb here but I'm sure a lot of those guys were having themselves some fun during their break.
Wow 5-0 the Flames get shutout and we nail a nice dog on the trend, going to continue to watch for these as this is a busy month for byes...
