Wow. Great value in this team if they can keep it up, I rarely bet high juice hockey.

That was a great betting situation, Coyotes on a roll and Leafs with a propensity for playing down to lesser teams.

Guys I was thinking of a writeup, but figured nobody would see it posting an your before gametime Saturday evening. So only briefly, but offer 2 games....

1. Weird line of the night goes to Blackhawks / Senators UNDER 5.5 +104

Seeing 80 percent or more betting the OVER just at quick glance. But I won't be. Unders are scary, but something really malodorous with that line.

Also notice LTP posted this under as his only NHL pick earlier this morning.

2. NYR at Dallas -130. Goalies listed Shesterkin vs Oettinger. This under is also 5.5 but juiced to -115 which makes sense. But I'm interested in the moneyline here, and going with home team. This is the last game of 4 road for NYR against the Central division. They won the first one vs struggling Winnipeg, but after that lost at Minnesota and St.Louis.

The public betting seems mixed for this game. But did you know Dallas is 11-3 this year in games that go to Overtime (or Shootout). Their very first game on the schedule was at NYR on the road October 14 and beat them 3-2 in Overtime. I'm thinking tonight is Dallas win probably in Regulation, but I'll take the standard ML given their OT record.

defenseman Connor Murphy left about 3 minutes into Saturday’s road game against the Ottawa Senators with an apparent head injury.

The Hawks also lost Tyler Johnson to an injury in the first period, but despite those early setbacks they went on to win, 6-3, at Canadian Tire Centre, thanks in part to two goals each from Jonathan Toews and Caleb Jones.
The sequence of Murphy’s injury began in the Hawks offensive zone with Brandon Hagel rimming the puck and Murphy dropping down to retrieve it. Senators rookie winger Parker Kelly drilled into Murphy’s back, and Murphy’s head slammed into the glass.

Hurricanes easy win for me in midday hockey

**hotcross** · 03-13-22, 09:44 AM

Now I hope everyone didn't read yesterday's picks by me. Complete whiff. Although Dallas started out looking good with 2 quick goals to start the game, but then let in 4 in a row. And both games went way Over.

Today (Sunday) I'll be on Columbus at home. Merzlikins should be starting, I'd like this not as much if he isn't.

Two Saturday night shutouts: Calgary's Markstrom vs Detroit 3-0 and San Jose's Hill vs LA 5-0.

Puck drops in one hour to start Leafs vs Sabres Heritage Classic, on an outdoor rink very close to the first Tim Horton's coffee location. Leafs heavily favored. Buffalo beat them recently.

Matthews to have Player Safety hearing for actions in Maple Leafs game

Forward facing discipline for cross-checking Sabres defenseman Dahlin

Auston Matthews will have a hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety on Monday.

The Toronto Maple Leafs forward is facing discipline for cross-checking Buffalo Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin.
The incident occurred with 5:05 remaining in the third period of the Maple Leafs' 5-2 loss at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, Ontario, on Sunday. Matthews and Dahlin each was assessed a minor for cross-checking on the play.
The following grounds are being considered for supplemental discipline: cross-checking. However, the Department of Player Safety retains the right to make adjustments to the infraction upon review.

Even the league's leading goal scorer is not above the 'law'.

LA Kings have a bunch of defense callups playing tonight (Tuesday), with regulars including Doughty out. It seems more obvious that Colorado should win convincingly in LA tonight.

Having said that, Colorado is also missing a couple players.

And a related side note, when you look at how the Kings recently lost 2 games in a row vs the lowly Sharks, but then played Florida tight and stole a win, don't read too much into the Sharks games, it only proved they still have the Kings number, Sharks have dominated the win column H2H vs the Kings

Frank Vatrano has been dealt from the Florida Panthers to the New York Rangers in exchange for a 2022 fourth-round pick. Per the Rangers, the pick exchanging hands “will be the later of the two fourth-round selections the Rangers own (either their own fourth-round pick or Winnipeg’s fourth-round pick).”

**Checkerboard** · 03-17-22, 12:23 PM

That outdoor rink in Hamilton Classic had a lot space between the rink and the stands. Front row seats weren't very close to the action.

On Wednesday, the Florida Panthers acquired one of the top defenseman on the 2022 NHL trade market, sending prospect Tyler Smilanic along with two picks (a 2023 first-rounder and 2022 fourth-rounder) to the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for Ben Chiarot.

Perron's hat trick last night was not enough to keep Blues from a 5-4 loss to the Blue Jackets.
