ANA @ TB. Expected goalies: Dostal v. Vasi.
Great home team in TB back from a road trip (last played on 18th) against one of the worst teams in the league in a b2b. TB beat Anaheim back in October 4-2 (in ANA). Lightning are 3-1 vs. the Ducks over the last three seasons. The Duck have lost 5 straight with all games going over except 1 which pushed. This is 3 games in 4 nights for Ducks. Ducks are 1-8 in their last 9 games playing on 0 days rest. TB is an insane -530!
DET @ WASH. Expected goalies: Husso v. Kempfer.
Detroit is 7-3 in their L10 and WASH is the inverse of that. They've played twice this season. Detroit won at home 3-1 in November and Washington won at home in OT 4-3. Caps have lost 4 straight. Both teams last played on the 18th. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Red Wings are 3-11 in the last 14 meetings in Washington. Detroit has 3 games in hand and is 2 points behind Washington in the chase for a Wildcard spot. Big game here for both.
MONT @ NJ. Expected goalies: Montembeault v. Vanecek.
NJ is in a 3 games in 4 nights and 4 in 6 nights spot. Devils are 4-0 in their last 4 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. NJ beat Montreal 5-1 in Montreal back in November. Montreal is coming off 2 sizable losses to Toronto and Carolina. In Jersey's last game against the Jets, the commentators felt the Devils were back to early season form.
STL @ CAR. Expected goalies: Binnington v. Andersen.
Carolina beat STL in STL 6-4 back in December. STL is in a 3-in-4 and 4-in-6 spot. STL was just blown out by Ottawa. Blues are 1-5 in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. Over is 6-0 in Hurricanes last 6 vs. a team with a losing record. Carolina is an outstanding 9-1 in their L10! Canes are a -330 favorite (mild surprise they are less favored over the Blues than the Devils are over Habs considering the spot for each opponent).
TOR @ BUFF. Expected goalies: Samsonov v. UPL.
Sabres are not good at home (11-14-2) this season. But the Sabres are 3-1 vs. the Toronto Maple Leafs at home over the last three seasons. Leafs beat Sabres 5-2 in Toronto earlier this season. Leafs are in a 3-in-4 spot. Leafs coming off a loss to the Blackhawks and Sabres coming in off 2 wins against the Ducks & Sharks. First home game back after a road trip for Buff. Maple Leafs are 7-1 in their last 8 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game. Sabres have faired well against Leafs while at home. Over is 15-5-2 in the last 22 meetings in Buffalo.
LAK @ MINN. Expected goalies: Copley v. Gus.
LAK have won both games this year against Minnesota by a score of 7-6 and 1-0. LAK coming off 4 straight wins where they've scored no less than 5 goals in each (2 of the games were against Arizona & Anaheim though). Wild coming off 2 wins. The Wild are 5-1 vs. the Kings at home over the last three seasons. 7 of the last 8 games have been overs for the Kings. This is the 7th straight home game for the Wild!
VAN @ NASH. Expected goalies: Silovs v. Saros.
Nashville beat the Nucks in a shootout win (4-3) back in November. This is a 3-in-4 and 4-in-6 spot for the Preds. Nucks are 8-0-2 O/U in their L10. Last 7 Nucks games have gone over. Underdog is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.
The rest of the games are below..
. Oddsmakers are making it very difficult with these lines, seems we may have to get creative.
