Boston Bruins -130 risking 2.5 units
With Miller out, and Boston already being a terrible team, I see this as fairly good value. Boston is 4-0 on the road, while Buffalo is 0-4-1 on the road. Boston took a 4-2 win in last years season series playing a better Buffalo team. Boston has a higher goals/game, lower goals against/game, higher PP% and higher PK%. They SHOULD win this game.
TAMPA BAY -110 risking 2 units
Tampa Bay is 7-2-1 and far from struggling. Steven Stamkos is showing how high is level of play is leading the league in points. Tampa is 4-1 on the road, while Anaheim is 2-1-1 at home. Anaheim has lost their last 2 games, while Tampa has won their last 2. Although Anaheim took the season series last year, the Lightning are a stronger team this year. Tampa Bay has a higher goals/game, lower goals against/game, their PP% is the same (except they have their weapon in Steven Stamkos). Tampa also has a higher PK% and wins more face-offs. My only concern is that Tampa is not starting Mike Smith, who has a nice track record against Anaheim.
That's all for now.
