NHL Projections

Tampa Bay Lightning +126 @ Nashville Predators -139 (5, Ov -134 / Un +122)

Bishop vs Rinne: TB 2.07 NSH 3.14

Both lines look about right, no play here.

Minnesota Wild +109 @ Dallas Stars -120 (5.5, Ov +116 / Un -128)

Kuemper vs Niemi: MIN 1.02 DAL 3.24

My projections say the Stars should be bigger favorites, so I’ll lay the short -120 on Dallas, and stay off the total.

Carolina Hurricanes +121 @ Toronto Maple Leafs -134 (5.5, Ov +104 / Un -115)

Ward vs Andersen: CAR 2.07 TOR 2.53

The lines seem to be right here, I’ll pass.

St. Louis Blues +119 @ Boston Bruins -131 (5, Ov -105 / Un -105)

Allen vs Rask: STL 0.33 vs BOS 1.61

I project less than 2 goals so I’ll take the Under 5 -105.

Philadelphia Flyers +121 @ Florida Panthers -134 (5.5, Ov +126 / Un -139)

Mason vs Luongo: PHI 1.47 FLA 2.70

Not seeing anything here either.

Ottawa Senators +175 @ Montreal Canadiens -195 (5, Ov -105 / Un -105)

Anderson vs Price: OTT -0.30 MTL 2.23

I’m not laying that with Montreal, but I’ll take the Under 5 -105. I could get behind Under 2.5 on the Senators but I haven’t had much luck with team totals this season.

New York Islanders +154 @ Anaheim Ducks -171 (5, Ov -128 / Un +116)

Greiss vs Bernier: NYI 1.51 ANA 2.12

Nothing stands out here, either.

Detroit Red Wings +101 @ Buffalo Sabres -111 (5, Ov +102 / Un -113)

Howard vs Lehner: DET 1.19 BUF 0.33

I’ll take a shot with the Wings as small Dogs. I’m not going to force any more Under 5’s, I hadn’t been playing unders other than 5.5’s so far this season. So unless there’s crazy value, I’m just gonna lay off of them.

Toronto Maple Leafs +127 vs New Jersey Devils -140 (5, Ov -127 Un +115)

Enroth vs Schneider: TOR 2.31 NJ 5.21

These lines smell super fishy, but I’ll take the bait on both and lay -140 with New Jersey and take the Over 5 -127.

Calgary Flames +151 @ Columbus Blue Jackets -167 (5.5, Ov +114 / Un -126)

Johnson vs Bobrovsky: CAL 1.15 CBJ 2.58

I don’t see anything here, so I’ll pass.

Dallas Stars +137 @ Nashville Predators -152 (5.5, Ov +103 / Un -114)

Lehtonen vs Rinne: DAL 0.88 NSH 3.37

I’m going to take another favorite in Nashville as I project them by over 2 goals.

Vancouver Canucks +110 @ Arizona Coyotes -121 (5, Ov -135 / Un +123)

Miller vs Smith: VAN 1.77 ARI 2.44

I’m passing on this one.

Edmonton Oilers -113 @ Colorado Avalanche +102 (5.5, Ov +127 / Un -140)

Talbot vs Varlamov: EDM 2.60 COL 1.26

The Oilers line is too short for me, I’ll take the -113.

Chicago Blackhawks +141 @ San Jose Sharks -156 (5, Ov -113 / Un +102)

Crawford vs Jones: CHI 1.42 SJ 1.02

I’ll back the Blackhawks again as road dogs, +141.

Pittsburgh Penguins +102 @ New York Rangers -113 (5.5, Ov +105 / Un -116)

Murray vs Lundqvist: PIT 2.24 NYR 2.69

All seems right here, passing.

St. Louis Blues +162 @ Washington Capitals -180 (5, Ov -106 / Un -104)

Hutton vs Holtby: STL 1.16 WSH 3.28

I don’t see anything to play here.

Chicago Blackhawks -101 @ Anaheim Ducks -109 (5, Ov -110 / Un +100)

Crawford vs Gibson: CHI 1.16 ANA 1.00

Crawford vs Bernier: CHI 0.65 ANA 1.00

Passing all around here. I may look to go under if Bernier is starting.

New York Islanders +184 @ San Jose Sharks -205 (5, Ov -121 / Un +110)

Greiss vs Jones: NYI 1.39 SJ 1.58

Greiss vs Dell: NYI 1.01 SJ 1.58

I’m probably passing here as well, but could be some line value on NYI if Jones is starting.

Pittsburgh Penguins -113 @ Minnesota Wild +102 (5, Ov -110 / Un +100)

Murray vs Dubnyk: PIT 1.42 MIN -0.11

Fleury vs Dubnyk: PIT 1.42 MIN 1.40

Fleury vs Kuemper: PIT 3.69 MIN 1.40

Murray vs Kuemper: PIT 3.69 MIN -0.11

I’ll be on Pittsburgh as long as Murray is in net. If it’s Murray vs Kuemper I’ll take Pittsburgh +140 on the 3-way line.

Buffalo Sabres +177 @ Washington Capitals -197 (5, Ov +102 / Un -113)

Lehner vs Grubauer: BUF 0.23 WSH 2.12

Nilsson vs Grubauer: BUF 0.23 WSH 1.08

Passing here.

Winnipeg Jets +168 @ Nashville Predators -187 (5.5, Ov +127 / Un -140)

Hellebuyck vs Rinne: WIN 1.29 NSH 2.80

Passing here.

Calgary Flames +133 @ Boston Bruins -147 (5, Ov -116 / Un +105)

Johnson vs Rask: CAL 0.03 BOS 1.48

Elliott vs Rask: CAL 0.03 BOS 2.33

Elliott vs McIntyre: CAL 2.33 BOS 2.33

Johnson vs McIntyre: CAL 2.33 BOS 1.48

If the Flames are still Underdogs in a Johnson vs McIntyre matchup, I’ll be on Calgary.

Columbus Blue Jackets +120 @ Tampa Bay Lightning -133 (5.5, Ov +124 / Un -137)

Bobrovsky vs Bishop: CBJ 2.81 TB 2.49

I’ll take the Jackets as road dogs.

Detroit Red Wings +118 @ New Jersey Devils -130 (5, Ov +118 / Un -130)

Howard vs Schneider: DET 1.38 NJ 1.45

Passing here.
