Well we have a matchup between Atlanta and Washington tonight and it's set at 6.5 o/u.

Updates for the game:

Injuries- Washington Capitals
Brain Pothier (D) Concussion - Probable for Monday
Sergei Federov (C) Flu - Questionable Monday
Donald Brashear (LW) - Knee- Doubtful Monday

Atlanta Thrashers
Jim Slater (C) - Undisclosed - Doubtful Monday
Ilya Kolalchuk (LW) Upper Body - Doubtful Monday

Been leaning towards Washington and with Ilya out I think the under 6.5 is a good play also. So many people are gonna be on the over tonight....and what happens with these "guaranteed high scoring games"? They end up like 3-2 lol

I agree that's well worth a shot Caps by 1.5.

Any thoughts on Nashville/LA? I see the public is all over Nashville. This could be a good game to look at that +110 Over 5.5 in my opinion.
That's good value.

Last 10 matchups between Nashville/LA for over under have been:
5 overs, 4 unders, and 1 push.

.....hmm.....i wanna say LA kings ml....idk yet though

soaked in sweat · 03-16-09, 05:52 PM

here's a bit of info,

The Predators have scored two goals or fewer in 16 of their last 17 road games, going 6-10-1.
each of Nashville's three wins over its last six road games have been by virtue of shutout.
Rinne is 12-3-1 since Feb. 1 and has three shutouts during that span
The Kings, may have to contend with Pekka Rinne for the first time.
Eric ersberg is 1-2-0 with a 1.81 goals-against average in three games versus Nashville.

I'm gonna try a small bet on the under 5.5 in this one.
