I like the Hurricanes this year. They built a pretty solid team defensively and that is the key of their success. Yesterday both teams had games and won so back to back for them.
I am taking the Hurricanes here. The team is pretty good and I expect them fighting in the postseason while I have doubts about the Islanders. The best thing in Carolina is their defense while the Islanders struggles at that. Both teams can score goals so I think the big difference is how reliable they are in their back.
Both teams arrive here in a good streak but I think Carolina is one step ahead from the Islanders. One of their biggest problems in recent years was their goalie and for that, they signed Darling. He posted a great performance yesterday but I dont know if he will play today. If we talk about goalies, we can say that the Islanders are having troubles at that this season because Greiss and Halak have been full of doubts. Yesterday Darling and Greiss, we will see today but I expect Darling and Halak.
Carolina improved a lot this offseason signing people like Van Riemsdyk while people like Justin Williams, Skinner, Staal, Aho ... stayed with the team. I like this Carolina team and I expect them taking the W here.

The odds for Carolina raised a little bit so I was thinking about putting another unit but the raise was not enough so ...
Colorado Avalanche vs Detroit Red Wings
Posted previously a pick for the Red Wings but today, Im going against them. Colorado is not one of my favourite teams, but the odds are simply ridiculous.
Detroit showed some life as I said few days ago, but they are not reliable at all. We have a team that is not one of the best of the league, not one of the worst either but he is not that far of this second group. We are talking about a team under a huge reconstruction into my eyes so if you are expecting a playoffs team at the end of the season, you could be wrong.
Colorado is not better, but it is not worse. They are in the same step of the stairs so I cannot understand the huge odds the Avalanche has here today.
It looks even better when you realice that Colorado won 3 times in the last 4 visits to Detroit so ... I want to risk a little bit.

Its funny, finally the money is on the Golden Knights but I dont give a garbage about that. This is like the film "Grounghog day". Day and night betting against Vegas and they destroying me, but like in the film, the things have to change at the end to have a happy ending.
Vegas is an expansion team and at somepoint they have to go down. Its a pretty limited roster that is having troubles with their goalkeepers because injuries. Today Subban is expected. Subban ... a goalkeeper that was kicked out from my Bruins after playing like garbage in every single chance the team gave him. It is impossible that the Subban I am talking about is now a superstar.
Something smells bad in Vegas. I dont know if they are taking out the other teams to strip clubs just before the games or what, but almost every team in Vegas is underperforming. I cannot understand how this Vegas team is not destroyed day after day.
As I said, this is like "Groundhog day" and I have to bet against Vegas. The Kings this year have been fantastic as they did yesterday so I have to trust them. It is a back to back but they had enough time to rest because their match was early.

Bernier is not that bad. His season has been dissapointing so far, but if we take a look to past seasons numbers we have that the past season for example, he started in 33 games and allowed 2.5 goals per game that is not a bad average. That was playing for Anaheim that is a very defensive team but in Toronto, his seasons were similar.
2.68 GAA in his career, 111-99 record.
I would say that it was just a bad start of the season and to be clear, Im not a big fan of Bernier but just saying that he is not that bad.

Love the write-ups. Nice comeback win with the Avs. For what it's worth, I highly recommend using flat stakes as well. It's too arbitrary for me, and I've seen too often my favorite picks of the night fail miserably, while those I wasn't too confident in win. Otherwise, keep doing what you're doing!
