Pretty good night last night on the ice, I hope for more of the same today.
Today I have 4 plays that come to mind.
First off, I like the over 6 in the Panthers (17-18-2-5) VS Maple Leafs (14-19-7-2).
Of the last 5 meetings, 3 of them have gone over the total with one push, and a loss. In the last 7 games overall, the over is 5-1-1.
Toronto has struggled to get the puck in the net for most of the year and of their last 5 games they have scored only 1 goal, in 3 of them. I look for that to change vs the Panthers and for them to continue to net a higher scoring affair like in past meetings.
Both teams should come out hungry tonight.
I like the over 5 in Stars (18-12-4-7) VS Devils (29-10-0-1). Both of these teams come in to this event winners of 3 of the last 5 and both have been capable of getting the puck in the net. In 10 meetings between these 2, 7 of them have hit 5 goals or more. I look for this trend to continue tonight making the over 5 a play I really like.
Tonight I also like Bruins (21-13-2-5) to beat the Senators (22-16-1-3).
Although Boston played a tough game lastnight in New York losing a close one 3-2 I like them to continue their dominant ways on the Sens and come out on top.
The Senators have been doing better than I (and alot of other people I'm sure) thought they would have while missing 2 top players like Jason Spezza and Daniel Alfredsson but I think it may catch up to them tonight when the B's come to town.
Also, I like the Flames (24-12-2-3) to beat the Predators (25-14-2-1) tonight.
Both teams come into this matchup on winning streaks and both teams are tied for 5 in the West with 53pts. The Flames have always faired well against the Preds and I expect them to do exactly that once again tonight. Calgary has won 7 of the last 10 meetings overall, and are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.
The road team is also 5-2 in the last 7.
Thoughts?
