04-06-19 | Islanders +105 v. Capitals | Top | 3-0 | Win | 105 | 9 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK ISLANDERS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. While all of the playoff spots have been filled, there is still some positioning to sort out including this one. The Capitals have won the Metropolitan Division, but a point by the Islanders will ensure they finish in second place which comes with home ice in the first round. Pittsburgh can overtake them with a win and an Islanders regulation loss so a lot is on the line for New York. The good news for the Islanders is that Washington will not be at full strength. For the Capitals it is expected that Jonas Siegenthaler and Dmitrij Jaskin will crack the lineup for the first time in recent memory to give rest to some veterans for the upcoming playoff run. There is no news yet on Alex Ovechkin as he is still atop the league in goals scored by two so it would take a hat trick by Leon Draisaitl to stop Ovechkin from his eighth Rocket Richard Trophy. Him resting seems likely but that decision will not come until closer to game time. The Islanders are 17-7 in their last 24 games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game while going 15-1 this season after scoring two goals or less in two straight games. 10* (43) New York Islanders |

04-04-19 | Islanders -115 v. Panthers | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK ISLANDERS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. Playoff implications are all over the place on the Thursday card including this one between the Islanders and Panthers. New York still has an outside chance of catching the Capitals for the Metropolitan Division crown. If Washington loses Thursday to Montreal and the Islanders beat the Panthers, New York's regular-season finale at Washington on Saturday would decide the division. Should the Capitals win, the win the division but this is still a big game for New York as it has just a two-point lead on Pittsburgh for home ice in the first round of the playoffs. The Islanders can thanks Florida for keeping their division hopes alive as the Panthers defeated Washington on Monday for their third straight win. It was another disappointing season for Florida as it has not make the playoffs since 2015-16 and while the Panthers clearly want to finish strong, this is more motivation on the other side. The Islanders are 19-8 when playing against losing teams with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 and they fall into a solid situation where we play on road favorites of -200 or less revenging a same season loss, off a home loss. This situation is 68-27 (71.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (9) New York Islanders |

04-02-19 | Sharks -147 v. Canucks | Top | 2-4 | Loss | -147 | 14 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN JOSE SHARKS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. San Jose was cruising along and in good position to win the Pacific Division but it has lost eight of its last nine games including a loss against first place Calgary which sealed the division and conference for the Flames. The Sharks have claimed a playoff spot with home ice in the first round so there may not be much to play for but that is hardly the case as head coach Peter DeBoer publicly questioned whether his club was becoming complacent and they are treating the final week as a chance to build momentum heading into the postseason. Vancouver is coming off a pair of shootout wins to even up its homestand at 3-3 and tonight concludes the home portion of its season schedule. While the emotion could very well be on the home side with this being the final home game of the season, the Canucks are 4-12 in their last 16 games against teams with a winning record. Here, we play on road favorites coming off a home loss by two goals or more, with a winning percentage between .450 and .550 on the season. This situation is 49-18 (73.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (71) San Jose Sharks |

04-01-19 | Maple Leafs +105 v. Islanders | Top | 2-1 | Win | 105 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. It has been a tough stretch for Toronto that has yet to clinch a playoff berth but that can change tonight. the Maple Leafs have lost seven of their last 10 games (3-5-2) with their second defeat against NHL-worst Ottawa coming via a 4-2 setback on Saturday. Toronto is 22-12-5 on the road and this includes a 12-6 mark when playing a team with a winning record. The Maple Leafs are is 11-1 after two or more consecutive losses this season. While Toronto is still waiting to clinch a playoff berth, New York got into the playoffs for the first time in three seasons following Saturday's 5-1 win over Buffalo. The Islanders are still chasing Washington in the Metropolitan Division as they are three points back with three games left so this is a big game for them a well. They have won two straight games where they scored five goals in each but they are 2-7 in nine home games after scoring three goals or more in two straight games this season. Here, we play on road teams that are revenging a road loss by three goals or more, with a winning record in the second half of the season. This situation is 49-27 (64.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (41) Toronto Maple Leafs |

03-30-19 | Blue Jackets v. Predators -113 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the NASHVILLE PREDATORS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. A lot is on the line for both sides Saturday night and the short price at home for Nashville is a must take. Nashville is coming off a win over Pittsburgh last night and looks to keep the momentum roiling. By claiming a second consecutive victory, and going on a 5-1-1 run, the Predators are even in points with the Jets for first place in the Central Division. The schedule sets up well with three of their final four games taking place at home and the lone road game being at Buffalo. The Predators are 37-15 in their last 52 home games against teams with a winning road record. Columbus, which is riding a three-game winning streak, is one point back of the Hurricanes for the first Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference, and tied with the Canadiens in points, but holding a game in hand, plus the first tiebreaker of regulation/overtime wins. They have won five straight home games but the Blue Jackets are 1-5 in their last six road games. 10* (16) Nashville Predators |

03-29-19 | Blues v. Rangers +190 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 190 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK RANGERS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. The Blues have not played since Monday, when they extended their winning streak to four games by beating Vegas 3-1. They are one win or an overtime or shootout loss away from clinching a playoff berth after missing the postseason a year ago. All four of the wins have come at home however and St. Louis hits the road where it is just 18-17-7 while dropping three of its last four on the highway. The Blues are 4-11 in their last 15 games when their opponent allows five goals or more in their previous game. The Rangers have dropped two straight and seven of their last eight games. While completely out of the playoff picture, New York has performed admirably at home with a 17-13-8 record and those eight extra time losses are tied for most in the NHL so that record could easily be better. Here, we play against road teams off two or more consecutive home wins going up against an opponent off a road loss by three goals or more. This situation is 65-29 (69.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (68) New York Rangers |

This is a play on the CAROLINA HURRICANES for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. This is the second game of a home-and-home between Washington and Carolina and the Hurricanes will be out for revenge following a 4-1 loss on Tuesday. That loss has tightened things in the Eastern Conference as Carolina has just a one-point lead on Montreal for the top Wild Card spot with Columbus sitting just three points back. The Hurricanes are back home where they are 22-12-4 and have been solid in this spot, going 6-1 in their last seven games as home favorites of -110 to -150. Additionally, Carolina is 6-0 revenging a road loss by three goals or more this season. Washington is in much better position as it is nearing clinching a playoff spot while sitting in third place in the Eastern Conference with just five games remaining. It hits the road following a four-game homestand and going back, the Capitals are 1-4 in their last five games as underdogs of +110 to +150. Here, we play against road underdogs of +200 or less that are coming off two or more consecutive home wins going up against an opponent off a road loss by two goals or more. This situation is 39-7 (84.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (54) Carolina Hurricanes |

03-27-19 | Stars v. Flames -154 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -154 | 12 h 54 m | Show |
This is a play on the CALGARY FLAMES for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. Calgary is leading the conference and holds a six-point edge on San Jose in the Pacific Division with six games remaining but expect to see some extra effort here as the Flames saw a three-game winning streak snapped on Monday with a 3-0 loss to last place Los Angeles. Calgary is 3-0-1 this season following getting shut out. The Flames had a chance to clinch everything against the Kings and have a chance to do so again. This would mark the Flames first divisional title since 2005-06, and their first Western Conference title since 1988-89. Dallas is coming off a big win at Winnipeg after losing four of its previous five games but the Stars still hold the top Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Dallas is 1-8 after scoring five goals or more in their previous game this season. Here, we play on teams in the second half of the season outscoring their opponents by 0.5 or more gpg, after getting shutout in their previous game. This situation is 39-12 (76.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (48) Calgary Flames |

03-26-19 | Blackhawks v. Coyotes -125 | Top | 0-1 | Win | 100 | 13 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the ARIZONA COYOTES for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. Arizona has to get back to winning while needing some help along the way as well. The Coyotes are two points back of the Avalanche with six games remaining in the regular season as they return home having lost five in a row, including a 0-3-1 roadtrip. There has been no offense during this skid as Arizona has scored six goals total during the five games but a return home should help, especially against Chicago which allows 3.78 gpg on the road which is fifth most in the NHL. The Coyotes are 8-2 in their last 10 home games against teams with a losing road record. We won with the Blackhawks on Sunday as they won the second of a home-and-home with Colorado which snapped a three-game losing streak. The offense is struggling here also as Chicago has scored two goals or less in five straight games and going back, it is 4-15 after two consecutive division games. Here, we play against underdogs off a win by one goal over a division rival going up against an opponent off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 77-27 (74 percent) since 1996. 10* (40) Arizona Coyotes |

03-25-19 | Bruins v. Lightning -145 | Top | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING for our NHL Monday Breakaway. Winners of this season's Presidents' Cup as the league's top club, Tampa Bay had its seven-game winning streak broken in St. Louis on Saturday and it can be excused based on the letdown factor from clinching. The Lightning return home where they are 31-6-2 and they have prospered in this spot by going 15-2 after one or more consecutive losses this season. This includes a perfect 9-0 record following a road loss. Boston has won four straight games following a blowout win at Florida on Saturday by a 7-3 score. The victory secures the Bruins a playoff spot and now they are in the same situation Tampa Bay was in last time out. The last three wins have all come on the road after losing their previous four road games and overall, they are a game under .500 on the road. Here, we play against road teams against the money line in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .600 and .700 coming off two consecutive road wins by two goals or more. This situation is 28-9 (75.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (18) Tampa Bay Lightning |

03-24-19 | Avalanche v. Blackhawks -111 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 29 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS for our NHL Sunday Enforcer. This is the second game of a home-and-home between Colorado and Chicago with the Avalanche taking the first game 4-2 last night in Denver. The win pushed Colorado past Minnesota and Arizona and into the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. With the Penguins 3-2 win in Dallas, the Avalanche also gained ground on the Stars, the top Wild Card team in the conference. Colorado has won four straight games but the Avalanche are 6-14 in their last 20 games as an underdog. Chicago has lost three straight games as its playoff hopes are fading fast but this is a good situation at a short home price. The Blackhawks are 6-1 in their last seven games as a home favorite of -110 to -150. Here, we play on home teams after allowing three goals or more in three straight games going up against an opponent after four straight wins by two goals or more. This situation is 20-6 (76.9 percent) since 1996. 10* (8) Chicago Blackhawks |

03-23-19 | Penguins v. Stars -113 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS STARS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. We won with Pittsburgh on Thursday but it was not without drama as it took a shootout after a late blown lead to get it done. The game against the Predators was the fifth time in their past 14 games that the Penguins have blown a lead with four minutes or fewer remaining in regulation, and the game Thursday was their first win in those five games. They hit the road in comfortable position with a seven-point lead over Columbus which is the last team looking to get into the playoffs. This is a huge game for the Stars. Dallas sits in the top Western Conference Wild Card race despite going 1-2-1 in the first four games of this five-game homestand. The Stars head out on a four-game roadtrip after tonight so its four-point lead over Colorado and Arizona is far from safe. But Dallas is 19-4 in its last 23 home games off a loss against a division rival and here, we play on favorites that are revenging a loss of four goals or more, off a loss against a division rival. This situation is 44-11 (80 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (76) Dallas Stars |

03-22-19 | Wild +150 v. Capitals | Top | 2-1 | Win | 150 | 11 h 6 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA WILD for our NHL Friday Breakaway. We are going contrarian here in a game that is significantly more important. Minnesota has lost two straight games as it remains a point out of the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. It is not going to be easy as five of the final eight games for the Wild are on the road with every game coming against playoff contenders. Minnesota has actually been a better road team than at home and going back, the Wild are 19-6 in their last 25 games after scoring two goals or less in two straight games while going 25-11 in their last 36 games after two or more consecutive losses. Washington is coming off a home loss against Tampa Bay in overtime but the point acquired gave it a three-point lead over the Islanders and Penguins in the Metropolitan Division. The Capitals are 21-15 at home and are a bit overpriced here and they are part of a negative situation here where we play on teams coming off a loss by two goals or more to a division rival going up against an opponent off a home loss by one goal. This situation is 75-51 ATS (59.5 percent over the last five seasons. 10* (53) Minnesota Wild |

03-21-19 | Penguins +135 v. Predators | Top | 2-1 | Win | 135 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PENGUINS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. While dropping out of the playoffs is unlikely for the Penguins, they are still just six points out from doing so with eight games remaining in the season. Pittsburgh has lost three straight games, the last two coming in extra time, while scoring just four goals in total over that stretch. The Penguins average 3.41 gpg on the road which is fourth most in the NHL and going back, they are 8-2 in their last 10 games when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game. Nashville meanwhile has won three straight games to keep pace with Winnipeg in the Central Division as it trails the Jets by three points. The Predators play Winnipeg in their next game on Saturday so the lookahead possibility is there. Nashville is 23-13-1 at home but it is outscoring opponents by just 0.08 gpg at home so it has been far from dominant. Nashville is 5-16 in its last 21 games after three straight wins by two goals or more. Here, we play against teams after allowing two goals or less in two straight games going up against an opponent after losing two consecutive games in overtime. This situation is 75-46 (62 percent) since 1996. 10* (37) Pittsburgh Penguins |

03-20-19 | Maple Leafs -140 v. Sabres | Top | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. We won with Buffalo on Sunday as it won in a shootout against St. Louis to snap a seven-game losing streak but we will be fading the Sabres tonight with motivation being much bigger on the other side. The Sabres have not won consecutive games since mid-December, going 0-12 in their last 12 games following a win. The Maple Leafs are coming off a loss last night which was their second straight and fourth in their last five games. Toronto is third in the NHL at +40 in scoring differential so it has been more dominating than its place in the standings where it sits tied for fourth with the Islanders in the Eastern Conference. Toronto has been a great bounce back team this season that has avoided long losing streaks as it is 10-1 after two or more consecutive losses this season. Here, we play on road favorites of -150 or less in the second half of the season that are outscoring their opponents by 0.5 or more gpg, after a loss by three goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 27-6 (81.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (21) Toronto Maple Leafs |

03-19-19 | Canadiens +105 v. Flyers | Top | 3-1 | Win | 105 | 6 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the MONTREAL CANADIENS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. The Flyers pulled off a near miracle 2-1 win Sunday on the road against the Penguins to stay within six points of the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference. Trailing 1-0, the Flyers pulled goaltender Carter Hart and they tied the game with 18.8 seconds remaining in regulation and then they got the game winner with 3.4 seconds left in overtime. Philadelphia is the only team in playoff contention in the conference that possess a negative scoring differential as it is -19 and home ice has been average with an 18-18 record. One team standing between the Flyers and Blue Jackets is Montreal which is three points up on Philadelphia and three points behind Columbus so this is a huge game for the Canadiens as well. Montreal has lost two straight and four of its last five games with the last defeat being a 2-0 shutout at home against Chicago. Going back, Montreal is 21-8 against the money line in its last 29 games off a home loss by two goals or more. Here, we play on road teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 off a home loss where they were shut out, playing a losing team. This situation is 43-17 ATS (71.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (7) Montreal Canadiens |

03-18-19 | Golden Knights v. Sharks -170 | Top | 7-3 | Loss | -170 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the SAN JOSE SHARKS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. The Golden Knights are coming off a win on Sunday over Edmonton to make it two straight victories and eight wins over their last nine games. Despite the recent hot streak, Vegas still trails second place San Jose by nine points in the standings, so passing the Sharks for home-ice advantage in the playoffs is still a long shot. While they have beaten the teams they should, the Golden Knights have struggled against top quality opponents as they are 3-13 in their last 16 games as underdogs. The Sharks head into Monday just one point behind first place Calgary in the Pacific Division with 10 games remaining so all games are big at this point. San Jose has dropped two straight games and while both of those were at home, it is still a solid 23-7-5 at home including winning 12 of its last 16. The Sharks managed only two goals in each of the last two games but they are third in the NHL in scoring, averaging 3.58 gpg, and will be facing backup goalie Malcolm Subban. Here, we play on teams in the second half of the season off a home loss by two goals or more, with a winning record. This situation is 212-131 (61.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (78) San Jose Sharks |

This is a play on the BUFFALO SABRES for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. The situation set up well for St. Louis yesterday afternoon and it sets up nicely for the opposite side on Sunday. We won with the Blues on Saturday as it snapped a three-game losing streak with a win against Pittsburgh. The win put St. Louis two points up on Dallas for third place in the Central Division but this is the cause for a possible letdown coupled with a four-game homestand upcoming. Additionally, the Blues are 3-10 in their last 13 games playing with no rest. Buffalo lost its seventh consecutive game last night in Carolina as the possibility of the playoffs are all but done. While the Sabres did not win last night, they were at least able to find the net with a pair of goals following three straight games of getting shut out. The public is all over St. Louis here as it is the lone road consensus play on the card and that is the way we like it. Here, we play on home teams against the money line after scoring two goals or less in three straight games going up against an opponent after scoring five goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 64-36 (64 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (60) Buffalo Sabres |

This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. Calgary has retaken the top spot in the Western Conference by a point over San Jose thanks to three straight wins where the offense has racked up 20 goals. The Flames are in a tough spot here as those three wins all came at home and they have scored three goals or less in eight of their last nine road games.

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS BLUES for our NHL Saturday Afternoon Dominator. St. Louis was on a huge run beginning January 10th where it won 19 of 26 games to make a push at Winnipeg and Nashville in the Central Division but it has since lost three straight games and is in jeopardy of falling into the Wild Card and just three points ahead of Minnesota of missing the playoffs.

This is a play on the VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. The Stars have little time to celebrate arguably their biggest win of the season on Thursday night, a 4-1 victory at Minnesota that moved them into third place in the Central Division. Dallas will likely be without goalie Ben Bishop who left the game last night with a lower-body injury. He has been lights out as he has a franchise-record shutout streak of 230:53 before he left in the second period on Thursday. The Stars are 15-36 in their last 51 games in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Vegas has won six of its last seven games and has had a four-day break to refresh since suffering a 6-3 loss at Calgary on Sunday night. The Golden Knights remain in third place in the Pacific Division but they are now just four points ahead of surging Arizona so Vegas needs to keep rolling.

The Islanders are 11-4 in their last 15 games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game while going 5-1 in their last six home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play on favorites coming off a loss by two goals or more to a division rival going up against an opponent off a home win by two goals or more. This situation is 74-26 (74 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (40) New York Islanders |

This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PENGUINS for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. Boston has points in 19 straight games, second-longest such streak in franchise history, after coming back Saturday to beat last-place Ottawa 3-2 as a -450 favorite. The Bruins have won six straight games, all coming at home, but they are under .500 on the road overall and their last two road wins took extra time. Boston is 11-18 against the money line in its last 29 road games after scoring three goals or more in two straight games. We played against Pittsburgh last night as it fell to Columbus 4-1 which snapped a three-game winning streak. The Penguins are now in the first Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference and a win will put them back into third place in Metropolitan Division, leapfrogging Carolina which won in Nashville last night. The Penguins are 62-22 in their last 84 home games against teams with a losing road record while going 15-7 in their last 22 games playing with no rest. Here, we play on home favorites off a road loss against a division rival, in March games. This situation is 45-11 (80.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (30) Pittsburgh Penguins |

This is a play on the COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. This is the second game of a home-and-home between Pittsburgh and Columbus with the Penguins taking the first game on Thursday in a 3-0 shutout. That was the third straight win for Pittsburgh which has now moved four points ahead of Columbus in the Metropolitan Division. The Penguins are 5-10 in their last 15 games coming off a home divisional win. Columbus has now fallen into ninth place in the Eastern Conference, two points out of the two Wild Card spots occupied by Carolina and Montreal. This continues a seven-game stretch against teams in playoff contention so taking care of home issue it vital. Columbus is 12-2 in its last 14 home games after scoring two goals or less in two straight games. Here, we play against road underdogs +200 or less against the money line off two or more consecutive home wins going up against an opponent off a road loss by two goals or more. This situation is 37-7 (84.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (16) Columbus Blue Jackets |

03-07-19 | Panthers +184 v. Bruins | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the FLORIDA PANTHERS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. Florida put together a 5-1 toward the end of February to get back into the playoff picture but it has been a brutal run since then as the Panthers have lost five straight games, all by one goal with four of those coming in overtime or a shootout. Florida is 11 points behind Montreal for the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference but there are still 16 games left so there is time for one last run and the Panthers are in a good spot here to begin that and at a great price. Boston in on an absolute roll right now as it has a 17-game points streak going at 13-0-4 including four straight victories. The Bruins still have no chance of catching Tampa Bay in the Atlantic Division which makes the streak even more impressive considering the lack of motivation and it would not be surprising at all if Boston looks part Florida here. Boston 11-20 against the money line in its last 31 games revenging a road loss by four goals or more. Here, we play on teams against the money line after three straight losses by one goal going up against an opponent after playing a game where seven or more total goals were scored. This situation is 30-14 (68.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (49) Florida Panthers |

03-06-19 | Maple Leafs v. Canucks +175 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 175 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the VANCOUVER CANUCKS for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. Toronto is coming off an upset win in Calgary on Monday for its second straight win and fifth victory over its last six games. The Maple Leafs are in third place in the Atlantic Division as they trail second place Boston by three points and are too far back to catch Tampa Bay. This is a tough spot coming off the win over Calgary and with games against Edmonton and Tampa Bay on deck, looking past Vancouver is more than possible.. Toronto is 4-13 in its last 17 road games after scoring six goals or more in their previous game. Vancouver is running out of time as it is now nine points out of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference following its third straight loss and is now on a 1-4-2 run. The last three games were on the road and Vancouver has been average at home but that is certainly being taken into consideration with this line. Here, we play against road teams against the money line after two straight wins by three goals or more going up against an opponent after a loss by two goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 35-11 (76.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (44) Vancouver Canucks |

This is a play on the MONTREAL CANADIENS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. Montreal is coming off a 5-1 home loss against Pittsburgh to snap a two-game winning streak and it is now tied with the Penguins for one of the two Wild Card spots in the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens hit the road once again where they are a respectable 16-13-3 for the start of a three-game roadtrip. The Canadiens are 23-7 in their last 30 games following a home loss of three or more goals while going 5-1 in their last six games as a road favorite. The Kings meanwhile snapped a 10-game losing streak with a 6-3 win over Chicago on Saturday. Los Angeles is well out of the playoff picture as it possesses the worst record in the Western Conference and putting together any positive streaks has been few and far between as the Kings are 9-24 in their last 33 games following a win. Additionally, they are 9-26 in their last 35 games against teams with a winning record. Here, we play on favorites after scoring one goal or less in their previous game going up against an opponent after scoring six goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 56-17 (76.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (39) Montreal Canadiens |

This is a play on the NEW YORK ISLANDERS for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. The Islanders had the lead in the Metropolitan Division following a big 6-1 win over Toronto on Thursday but lost the following night against Washington and they are now tied with the Capitals with 81 points. New York is 19-9-4 at home and is 8-2 in their its 10 games as a home favorite. Additionally, the Islanders are 10-3 in their last 13 games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Philadelphia remains in the playoff hunt following a 6-3 at New Jersey on Friday. They are still seven points out of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference so there is a lot of work to be done. Philadelphia is 4-16 in its last 20 road games after scoring five goals or more in its previous game while going 4-12 in its last 16 games as a road underdog. Here, we play on favorites after scoring one goal or less in their previous game going up against an opponent after scoring six goals or more in their previous game.

03-01-19 | Canadiens v. Rangers +110 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 40 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK RANGERS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. Montreal snapped a five-game road losing streak with a blowout win at Detroit on Tuesday and it would not be surprising to see the Canadiens look past the Rangers with a home game against Pittsburgh, which is just one point behind Montreal, on tap for tomorrow night. The Canadiens are just 15-13-3 on the road which is the worst road record of the nine teams in playoff contention in the Eastern Conference. The Rangers have dropped two straight games, both in overtime including the latest one at home against Tampa Bay, and its seven home losses in extra time are second most in the league which is a big reason they remain 10 points back in the playoff chase. Since opening 2019 with a five-game losing streak, New York has been playing much better, going 10-7-3 over its last 20 games and going back, the Rangers are 4-1 in their last five games when their opponent scores five goals or more in their previous game. 10* (52) New York Rangers |

02-28-19 | Maple Leafs v. Islanders -109 | Top | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK ISLANDERS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. Toronto is coming off a win last night against Edmonton, its third straight win, to move to within a point of Boston in the Atlantic Division. The Maple Leafs are the best road team in the NHL as their eight regulation losses are the fewest in the league but they have played the fifth easiest schedule overall. They have dropped two straight and three of their last five road games and are in a tough spot here. The Islanders remain atop the Metropolitan Division with Washington with 79 points despite a loss to Calgary two nights ago. That loss snapped a four-game home winning streak as well as an 8-0-1 run on home ice. This is the start of a seven-game swing where New York has won the previous meeting making this a favorable stretch to keep its pace going. The Islanders are 7-1 in their last eight games as home favorites. 10* (34) New York Islanders |

02-26-19 | Wild v. Jets -145 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -145 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. These teams met in the first round of the postseason last year and Winnipeg prevailed 4-1 to move on to the second round but the Wild have been able to extract their revenge by taking the first three meetings this season. Winnipeg is coming off an upset loss at Arizona on Sunday to make it four losses over its last five games and it has fallen into second place in the Central Division, one point behind Nashville. This is still one of the best home teams in the NHL at 21-7-4 and going back, the Jets are 52-21 in their last 73 games as a home favorite. We won with Minnesota on Sunday as it defeated St. Louis in overtime to win its third straight game to hold onto the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The Wild are still -11 in scoring differential and this is not the ideal spot as they are 0-7 in their last seven road games following three straight wins while going 5-16 in their last 21 games after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. Here, we play against road teams against the money line after allowing two goals or less in two straight games going up against an opponent after a loss by three goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 128-71 (64.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (18) Winnipeg Jets |

02-25-19 | Canadiens -139 v. Devils | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -139 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
This is a play on the MONTREAL CANADIENS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. Montreal is coming off another tough loss as it blew a 3-0 against Toronto to lose 6-3, its fifth loss in the last seven games. With a regulation win Saturday, the Canadiens would have moved within one point of the Maple Leafs for third place in the Atlantic Division but they will enter Monday's game in sole possession of the first wild card in the Eastern Conference, but just one point ahead of Carolina and Pittsburgh, which are tied for the second wild card spot. Montreal is 5-0 after allowing six goals or more this season. New Jersey continues to build toward the future as prior to Saturday's game, the Devils traded defenseman Ben Lovejoy to Dallas. It was the third trade made by New Jersey in the last month and going back to mid-January, it has lost 11 of its last 17 games. The Devils are 4-16 in 20 games this season against goalies with a save percentage of .915 or better. Here, we play on road favorites of -150 or less in the second half of the season averaging 3.0 or more gpg, after a loss by three goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 34-11 (75.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (67) Montreal Canadiens |

02-24-19 | Blues v. Wild -113 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA WILD for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. After a pair of shut out losses that concluded a five-game losing streak, Minnesota won both games on the road at New York and Detroit to move within one point of Dallas and Colorado for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Home ice has not been kind of late as the Wild have lost six straight here with their last home win coming on January 19th against Columbus. This is a quick revenge spot as Minnesota lost 4-0 against the Blues exactly one week ago. St. Louis has an 11-game winning streak snapped on Thursday with a 5-2 home loss against Dallas but bounced back yesterday with a 2-1 shootout win over Boston. Goalie Jordan Binnington has been the force behind the 12-1 run but he will get the night off and Jake Allen will get the start. Here, we play against road teams having won eight or more of their last 10 games, playing their 4th game in seven days. This situation is 383-313 (55 percent) since 1996. 10* (64) Minnesota Wild |

02-22-19 | Blue Jackets v. Senators +184 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 55 m | Show |
This is a play on the OTTAWA SENATORS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. Ottawa averages 3.27 gpg at home which is good for tenth highest in the NHL which is a positive sign after getting shutout last night in New Jersey 4-0. This concluded a 1-3 roadtrip and the Senators fell to 8-21-1 on the road for the season which is the worst road record in the league. They are a much more respectable 14-12-4 at home and going back, the Senators are 6-1 in their last seven home games following a road trip of seven or more days. Columbus has lost two straight games as it is now on the outside looking in for the Eastern Conference playoffs following the win by Carolina last night. The Blue Jackets have played well on the road to their credit but this is a massive number to be laying on the highway, especially for a team that has had trouble of late finding the net. Columbus is 8-16 against the money line in its last 24 games after a loss by one goal in its previous game. Here, we play on teams in the second half of the season averaging three or more gpg on the season, after getting shutout in their previous game.

This is a play on the CAROLINA HURRICANES for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. Carolina is coming off a costly loss against the Rangers on Tuesday as it is now one point behind Columbus for the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. That snapped a three-game winning streak for the Hurricanes which going back, are playing well, winning six of their past eight games. In fact, since Dec. 31, Carolina is 16-6-1. The Hurricanes are 5-1 in their last six games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Florida meanwhile has won three straight games but it is still nine points out of the final playoff spot. This is the sixth game of a seven-game homestand where the Panthers have lost 15 of their 30 games on the season. Florida is 26-44 in its last 70 games after two straight wins by two goals or more. Here, we play on teams against the money line off a loss against a division rival going up against an opponent off two consecutive wins by two goals or more against division rivals.

02-20-19 | Blackhawks v. Red Wings -115 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the DETROIT RED WINGS for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. Chicago is playing some excellent hockey right now as it has gone 9-2 over its last 11 games following an entertaining 8-7 win over Ottawa on Monday. The Blackhawks run has positioned them right in the playoff hunt as they are one point behind Minnesota for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The issue is they are tied with three other teams with 59 points and the upcoming schedule is tough with seven of the next 11 games taking place on the road. Chicago is 2-12 in 14 road games after allowing four goals or more this season. Detroit lost a home-and-home against the Flyers which snapped a modest two-game winning streak. While the playoffs are out of the question for the Red Wings, this is a heated rivalry and they will be out for revenge from a 5-2 loss in Chicago 10 days ago. The Red Wings are 4-1 in their last five games as a home favorite of -110 to -150 and here, we play on favorites after scoring one goal or less in their previous game going up against an opponent after scoring six goals or more in their previous game.

This is a play on the TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS as part of our NHL Tuesday Hat Trick. Toronto is clinging onto fourth place in the Eastern Conference, two points ahead of Washington, following a 2-0 loss at Arizona on Saturday. The Maple Leafs are 3-2 on this current roadtrip that concludes tonight as they look to improve upon their 19-8-2 road record. This includes a 9-1 record against the Western Conference with that loss against the Coyotes being the only blemish. Additionally, the Maple Leafs are 5-0 in their last five games against teams with a winning record. St. Louis is the hottest team in the league with 10 consecutive wins, including three straight shutouts, but it still sits in just sixth place in the Western Conference following a slow start to the season. To their credit, eight of these wins have come on the road yet the Blues are just 14-13-2 at home. St. Louis is 7-16 in its last 23 home games after a win by three goals or more. Here, we play on teams in the second half of the season outscoring their opponents by 0.5 gpg, after getting shutout in their previous game.

This is a play on the NEW YORK RANGERS as part of our NHL Tuesday Hat Trick. The playoff chances for the Rangers are very slim but they continue to play hard as they come in on a 7-5-1 run over their last 13 games with four of those five regulation losses coming by one goal. After a 0-4-1 start on the road, New York is 10-12-1 in its last 23 road games which is good for a heathy profit thanks to big numbers like this. The Rangers are 10-5 after a loss by one goal in their previous game this season. Carolina is creeping up in the playoff picture as it has won three straight and six of seven. The Hurricanes are one point out of the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference but this is a big number for Carolina to be laying and it is 0-4 in its last four games as a favorite of -201 or higher. Additionally, the Hurricanes are 7-17 in their last 24 games coming off two consecutive home wins by two goals or more. Here, we play against teams after allowing one goal or less in two straight games going up against an opponent after playing two straight games where eight or more total goals were scored.

This is a play on the BUFFALO SABRES as part of our NHL Tuesday Hat Trick. The Sabres have dropped two straight games and they have been slipping ever since their 10-game win streak was snapped on Nov. 29. Starting with that loss, the Sabres are 11-17-5 since but they are still just six points out of the final Wild Card spot. This is a big game as five of the next six games for Buffalo are against teams currently holding down playoff spots. Buffalo is 10-5 in its last 15 games after a loss by two goals or more in their previous game. The Panthers are five points behind Buffalo following a pair of wins and their 14-10-5 record at home is nothing special. Florida starting goalie Roberto Luongo was placed on bereavement leave prior to the Sunday game and James Reimer will be starting with his below average 3.05 GAA allowed. Florida is 0-5 at home after scoring five goals or more in their previous game this season. Here, we play against home favorites of -150 or less in the second half of the season averaging 2.85 or more gpg, after scoring six goals or more in their previous game.

This is a play on the COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. Tampa Bay enters Monday off five straight wins including a pair of shutouts the last two games. The Lightning have a 16-point lead in the Eastern Conference over the Bruins and the Islanders and are clearly the best team in the NHL. Going back, Tampa Bay is 15-38 in its last 53 road games off a home win by three goals or more. While the Lightning have a huge cushion, Columbus has a lot more on the line as it currently sits in third place in the Metropolitan Division and is tied with Pittsburgh and Montreal, which possess the two Wild Card spots, with 69 points and it is just a point ahead of Carolina which is in ninth place. Home ice has been up and down but the Blue Jackets are 4-1 in their last five games as a home underdog of +110 to +150. Columbus lost the most recent meeting last month 4-0 and it is 16-3 in its last 19 home games revenging a road loss by two goals or more. Here, we play against road favorites in the second half of the season averaging 2.85 or more gpg, after four straight wins by two goals or more.

This is a play on the COLORADO AVALANCHE for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. St. Louis is the hottest team in the NHL with eight straight wins including a pair of impressive wins over Nashville as well a win at Tampa Bay. This string incudes six road wins to improve to 15-9-3 on the road but this is a difficult spot with a revenge game on deck at Minnesota tomorrow. The Blues are 1-4 in their last five games as a road favorite of -110 to -150. Colorado snapped an eight-game losing streak with a win at Winnipeg on Thursday and it is now just three points behind Minnesota for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The Avalanche are ninth in the league in scoring with 3.26 gpg and going back, they are 15-6 in their last 21 games as a home underdog of +100 to +150. Colorado falls into two solid situations. First, we play on home underdogs of +100 to +200 that are coming off three straight games with 33 or more shots on goal. This situation is 89-59 (60.1 percent) since 1996. Second, we play against favorites in the second half of the season that are averaging 2.85 or more gpg, after two straight wins by three goals or more.

This is a play on the BUFFALO SABRES for our NHL Friday Breakaway. On Tuesday, the Sabres defeated the Islanders and reached 63 points which surpassed their total from last season, allowing only 25 shots on goal. It was their third straight game allowing under 30 shots after giving up 105 shots in the first three games of the homestand. This is important considering the Rangers average just 27.4 spg on the road which is third lowest in the NHL. Buffalo is 17-8-4 at home and concludes a seven-game homestand tonight which makes it more important with eight of the next 11 games coming on the road. The Sabres are 21-7 in their last 28 games as a home favorite of -151 to -200. The Rangers are coming off a loss at Winnipeg which snapped a two-game road winning streak and they check in with a 9-15-2 record on the road and those nine road wins are third fewest in the league.

Following a seven-game losing streak, Washington closed its six-game homestand with a 4-1-1 record but was unable to continue the momentum as it got shut out at Columbus on Tuesday 3-0. The Capitals remain in second place in the Metropolitan Division, three points behind the Islanders and two points ahead of the Blue Jackets. Washington is 21-8 in its last 29 games after scoring one goal or less in their previous game. The Sharks have taken over first place in the Pacific Division and are tied with Winnipeg for first place in the Western Conference following their sixth straight win on Monday. They have one of the best home records in the NHL at 18-4-4but that is being taken into consideration with this line and it is too big of an adjustment against a quality team. Here, we play on teams in the second half of the season averaging 2.85 or more gpg, after getting shutout in their previous game.

Toronto is off to a 2-1 start to open its six-game roadtrip and this is the biggest challenge so far as it has been favored in the three previous games. The Maple Leafs are a solid 18-7-2 on the road and they are in the rare role of an underdog and going back, they are 32-65 in their last 97 games as an underdog of +110 to +150.

Trying to make it into the Eastern Conference playoff conversation, Philadelphia was on a 9-0-1 stretch but the run was temporarily halted on Monday night with a 4-1 home loss to the Penguins. The Flyers are back on the road where they are 11-13-3 and they will be sending Anthony Stolarz between the pipes after rookie sensation Carter Hart played last night. Stolarz has a 3.25 GAA on the road which makes this a good time for the struggling Minnesota offense to get back on track. The Flyers are 1-5 in their last six games following a loss of three or more goals while going 11-22 in their last 33 games against teams allowing 2.85 or more gpg. The Wild are 1-3-2 since the All-Star break and will try to avoid a third consecutive defeat at home. Minnesota, which went into the break a winner of three in a row is holding down the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference but not by much. The Wild are just four points ahead of Colorado and Chicago and two points ahead of Vancouver. Minnesota is 28-13 in their last 41 games revenging a road loss by two goals or more. 9* (36) Minnesota Wild |

This is a play on the VANCOUVER CANUCKS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. San Jose has won five straight games, the last three coming on the road, to remain one point behind Calgary in the Pacific Division. The Sharks have won four straight road games which puts them back to .500 on the season and despite the average record, they are significant road favorites here against a team with a lot on the line. San Jose is 5-17 in its last 22 road games after playing three consecutive road games. Vancouver snapped a three-game slide with a shootout win over Calgary on Saturday and it is now just two points behind Minnesota for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The Canucks are 5-2 in their last seven games as home underdogs and have two solid situations on their side. First, we play against road teams in the second half of the season averaging three or more gpg, after two straight wins by three goals or more. This situation is 34-10 (77.3 percent) over the last five seasons. Second, we play on teams off a win by one goal over a division rival going up against an opponent off a road win by two goals or more.

02-10-19 | Jets -129 v. Sabres | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 5 h 36 m | Show |
This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. We played on Winnipeg yesterday afternoon and despite outshooting Ottawa 46-32, the Jets could not recover from a 2-0 first period deficit. They remain in first place in the Central Division as Nashville also lost on Saturday and they are on their first three-game losing streak of the season. Playing on no rest is not an issue as the Jets are 5-0 in their last five games in the second game of a back-to-back while going 12-2 in their last 14 games in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. The Sabres improved to 2-1-1 through the first four games of this seven-game homestand with a win yesterday against Detroit. Buffalo had a nice run earlier in the season as it won 10 straight games to climb atop the Eastern Conference but it has been a freefall since then as it is currently outside of the Eastern Conference playoffs. Buffalo is 9-25 in its last 34 games as a home underdog of +200 or less while going 0-8 in its last eight games following a win. Here, we play on road favorites revenging a loss of one goal or less, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team in the second half of the season. This situation is 57-21 (73.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (5) Winnipeg Jets |

02-09-19 | Jets -165 v. Senators | 2-5 | Loss | -165 | 3 h 21 m | Show | |
This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. Winnipeg has dropped two straight games including a loss at Montreal on Thursday 5-2. Coupled with a pair of Montreal wins, the Jets lead in the Central Division has been reduced to just one point and it cannot take these games against these lesser teams for granted. Winnipeg is 15-4 against the moneyline after one or more consecutive losses this season. Ottawa is coming off a 4-0 win over Anaheim on Thursday to snap a five-game losing streak and this season is all but done which was expected coming in. The Senators are dead last in the NHL with 45 points and while they have been better at home than on the road, they are 1-7 in their last eight home games against teams with a winning road record. Here, we play on road favorites in the second half of the season that are outscoring their opponents by 0.3 or more gpg, after a loss by two goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 73-27 (73 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (69) Winnipeg Jets |

02-08-19 | Hurricanes v. Rangers +100 | Top | 3-0 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK RANGERS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. The Rangers opened this homestand with a pair of one-goal losses, including one in overtime, but came back with a shootout win over Boston on Wednesday. New York still has a lot of ground to make up in the Eastern Conference but it has been playing a lot better since a 3-7-1 start and it is now nine points behind Pittsburgh for the second Wild Card spot. The Rangers are 14-8-6 at home and they are 6-1 in seven home games after scoring four goals or more in their previous game this season. Carolina has won two straight games to open this roadtrip including a 6-5 win in Buffalo last night in overtime. The hurricanes are also on the outside looking in to the playoffs although they do have less ground to make up. This is a tough spot coming off an overtime game with no rest and Carolina is 5-11 in its last 16 games as a road favorite of -110 to -150 while going 3-10 after allowing two goals or more in the third period last game this season. Here, we play against road teams revenging a road loss, off a road win by one goal. This situation is 64-32 (66.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (58) New York Rangers |

This is a play on the VANCOUVER CANUCKS as part of our NHL Thursday Five-Pack. The two hottest teams in the Western Conference have won five straight games and one of those is surprisingly Chicago. The Blackhawks swept their three-game roadtrip culminated by a convincing 6-2 win over Edmonton and they are very much in the Western Conference playoff race. The problem now is linesmakers are catching up and overadjusting as they go from an underdog in 15 straight games to a significant favorite here. Vancouver has hold of the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference despite two straight losses and this is a big game with the next two coming against San Jose and Calgary. The Canucks are 7-3 in their last 10 games against teams with a losing record. Here, we play against home teams in the second half of the season when the money line is -100 to -150 averaging 2.85 or more gpg, after scoring six goals or more in their previous game.

02-07-19 | Oilers v. Wild -181 | 4-1 | Loss | -181 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA WILD as part of our NHL Thursday Five-Pack. Edmonton came up small for us last time out and this team is playing with no passion or energy despite being very much alive in the Western Conference playoff race. The Oilers have now lost six straight games and while this falls under a contrarian take, the situation against them is too strong here as they are in a horrible spot at the worst time. Edmonton is 9-20 in its last 29 games after allowing four goals or more two straight games. Minnesota is clinching to the top Wild Card spot in the Western Conference as it is only six points ahead of seven teams. The Wild have dropped three straight the last two in extra time, and going back, Minnesota is 23-9 in its last 32 games after allowing three goals or more in two straight games. Here, we play against road underdogs of +200 or less after six or more consecutive losses, playing five or less games in 14 days.

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING as part of our NHL Thursday Five-Pack. The Lightning lost in a shootout in their last game against Vegas on Tuesday and they have been the best bounce back team in the league this season. Tampa Bay does not lose often and it does not lose in bunches as it has dropped consecutive games only once this season, going 12-1 after a loss which includes a 6-0 record when that follow up game is at home. The Lightning are 20-4 in their 24 games against teams allowing three or more gpg this season. St. Louis has won three straight games and is right in the playoff mix after a slow start to the season but despite the recent stretch, the Blues are 8-17 in their last 25 games following a win and they are in an awful spot tonight. Here, we play against teams in the second half of the season allowing three or more gpg on the season after allowing two goals or less in two straight games. This situation is 99-56 (63.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 8* (44) Tampa Bay Lightning |

This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS as part of our NHL Thursday Five-Pack. We lost with Winnipeg on Tuesday as it fell in overtime against San Jose, snapping a three-game winning streak. The Jets are a much better home team than road team but the situation is ideal at a great price and Winnipeg is 15-3 after one or more consecutive losses this season while going to back to last year, the Jets are 9-0 coming off a home loss by one goal. Montreal has won two straight and is 7-1-1 over its last nine games but that is keeping this price low. This is the start of a brutal upcoming stretch for Montreal as it plays the two top teams from the Central Division and the two top teams from the Atlantic Division. The Canadiens are 19-43 in their last 62 games when playing against a team with a winning record. Here, we play on road favorites of -200 or less coming off a home loss, in February games. This situation is 36-11 (76.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (41) Winnipeg Jets |

02-05-19 | Kings v. Devils -140 | 5-1 | Loss | -140 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
This is a play on the NEW JERSEY DEVILS as part of our NHL Tuesday Hat Trick. New Jersey is well back in the playoff race in the Eastern Conference no thanks to its horrid road play as the Devils have just seven road wins which is tied for the fewest in the NHL. They have been much better at home with a 13-7-4 record as their 3.33 gpg are tenth most in the league. The Devils are 6-2 in their last eight games against teams with a losing record. Los Angeles is coming off a win in overtime last night against the Rangers for just its ninth road win of the season and that puts the Kings in a tough spot here.

This is a play on the CALGARY FLAMES for our NHL Game of the Week. We played against Calgary on Friday as it handed Washington a win in the final minute of the game after a holding call and subsequent power play goal from the Capitals. That loss snapped a three-game winning streak for the Flames prior to the break and the roadtrip ends today with another three days off after. While home ice has been the main factor that Calgary is in first place in the Western Conference, its 16-10 road record is best in the conference and the Flames are 7-0 this season on the road following a loss. Carolina is on a two-game winning streak following a pair of 5-2 wins over Vancouver and Vegas. It has been a disappointing season for the Hurricanes which are three points out of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Hurricanes are 2-7 in their last nine games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. here, we play on road favorites of -150 or less in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .600 and .700, playing five or less games in 14 days, playing a team with a winning percentage between .400 and .499.

This is play on the COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. St. Louis is playing for the first time in 10 days after an extended break following a win in Anaheim for its tenth road win of the season. The problem for the Blues has been the offense on the road as they are averaging just 2.50 gpg which is fifth lowest in the NHL. Winning streaks have been few and far between however as the Blues are 4-12 in their last 16 games following a win. Columbus has already played twice after its long layoff and both games resulted in losses and going back, it has dropped four straight games. The Blue Jackets are now 14-10-2 at home where they are averaging 3.42 gpg which is sixth most in the league. The Blue Jackets are 9-3 in their last 12 games against teams with a losing record and here, we play on home favorites after three or more consecutive losses, when playing their 3rd game in five days.

This is a play on the NASHVILLE PREDATORS as part of our NHL Friday Hat Trick. Florida is riding a three-game winning streak which is its longest winning streak since early November but any momentum from that is long gone after an 11-day layoff surrounding the All-Star Break. It has been a rough season overall as the Panthers are 11 points out of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference with time running out. Nashville lost four of five games before winning its final two games before its break to remain four points behind Winnipeg in the Central Division. The last loss came at home against Florida 4-2 so there is revenge in play tonight and Nashville is 28-7 in its last 35 games revenging a same season loss. Here, we play on road favorites playing five or less games in 14 days, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team in the second half of the season.

This is a play on the BUFFALO SABRES as part of our NHL Friday Hat Trick. Buffalo is back home following a 2-3 roadtrip that included a shutout loss on Wednesday in Dallas. Heading back home is ideal as the Sabres 14 home wins are tied for the third most in the Eastern Conference. Going back, they are 5-2 in their last seven home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Chicago is coming off a pair of upset wins over the Capitals and Islanders at home but it has been off for 10 days which puts the Blackhawks at a big disadvantage here. They have been decent at home overall but have lost 17 of their 25 games on the road and going back, they are 6-21 in their last 27 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play against road underdogs of +200 or less off two or more consecutive home wins against opponent off a road loss.

This is a play on the WASHINGTON CAPITALS as part of our NHL Friday Hat Trick. The layoff could not have come at a better time for Washington which has lost seven straight games and has plummeted from near the top of the Eastern Conference to being just one point up for the final Wild Card spot. This is the first of six straight home games which makes this the perfect time to make up some ground. Despite the recent skid. Washington is 27-12 in its last 39 games after two or more consecutive losses. Calgary is on a similar layoff following a three-game winning streak as it leads the Western Conference by three points over Winnipeg. While solid on the road overall, the Flames are 6-14 in their last 20 road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play on home teams after failing to cover the spread in five or more consecutive games, with a winning percentage between .501 and .600. this situation is 61-22 (73.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (14) Washington Capitals |

01-30-19 | Lightning v. Penguins +104 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 104 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PENGUINS for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. We won with Winnipeg last night and we are backing Pittsburgh for very much the same rationale. The Penguins have the advantage of playing a second game since the long break while catching the Lightning coming off an 11-day layoff sandwiched around the All-Star break. Pittsburgh lost here on Monday against New Jersey as a big favorite which was its fourth loss in five games and it sits in the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Penguins are 15-6 in their last 21 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Tampa Bay won its last game prior to the break, defeating San Jose 6-3 despite getting outshot 39-26. The Lighting top the NHL with 76 points but this is a real difficult spot having been off for so long which we saw with Boston last night. Here, we play on teams coming off a loss by three goals or more to a division rival, with a winning record in the second half of the season. This situation is 113-63 (64.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (2) Pittsburgh Penguins |

This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. We lost with Winnipeg last night as a road favorite as it was unable to find the goal at even strength, missing all 28 shots in the 3-1 loss. The Jets have the advantage of playing a second straight night while catching the Bruins coming off a 10-day layoff sandwiched around the All-Star break. Winnipeg is now 13-10 on the road but it has prospered in this spot as it is 14-3 after one or more consecutive losses this season. The Bruins closed their first half with a home loss against the Rangers and they closed out by losing four of their final six games. Boston has been solid at home however, it has won here only once in its last four games and the big issue tonight is that goalie Tuukka Rask is out with a concussion and Jaroslav Halak will be making the state and he has allowed 3.75 gpg over his last four starts. The Jets are 4-0 in their last four games playing with no rest while the Bruins are 0-4 in their last four games playing with three or more days of rest. Here, we play on road teams in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .600 and .800 after having lost two of their last three games, a playing a team with a winning record.

This is a play on the WINNIPEG JETS for our NHL Monday Breakaway. The Flyers entered the break with a three-game winning streak, its second such streak of the season and we see it ending just like the first one did, with a loss at home. All three of those Philadelphia wins came as underdogs and this will be its fourth straight game at home against an opponent currently in a playoff position. Going back, the Flyers are 0-5 in their last five home games against teams with a winning road record. Winnipeg had a four-game winning streak snapped last Saturday at Dallas and went into the break tied with Nashville atop the Central Division with 64 points. The Jets are 13-9 on the road and their 3.05 gpg average is ninth best in the league and the matchup favors that as the Flyers are allowing 3.26 gpg at home which is fourth most in the NHL. They have improved with rookie Carter Hart inside the net but in his 12 starts, he has faced only two teams in the top ten in the league in goals scored and both resulted in losses where he allowed 3.50 gpg. The Jets are 40-13 in their last 53 games against teams with a losing record. 10* (71) Winnipeg Jets |

This is a play on the COLORADO AVALANCHE for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. This is a big night for a few teams tonight with this being their final game prior to the All Star Break. It is arguably the biggest for Colorado which is coming off a matinee loss against Nashville on Monday to make it 15 losses over its last 20 games which has sent the Avalanche into the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Not only is this the final game before the break, this is the last game for Colorado until February 2nd so this is a big one to gain some momentum heading into the long layoff. The Avalanche are 5-2 in their last seven games following a loss of three or more goals. Minnesota is in third place in the Central Division as it has won two straight games including an upset at Vegas on Monday. That improved the Wild to 12-12 on the road and while they too are off for a lengthy period, being on the road has them itching to get home for the break. The Wild are 3-13 in their last 16 games after allowing two goals or less in their previous game. Here, we play on favorites revenging a close loss of one goal and coming off a home loss by two goals or more.

Nashville concluded a three-game homestand with a pair of losses as pretty heft favorites and the Predators are now four points behind Winnipeg in the Central Division.

01-19-19 | Flames -125 v. Oilers | Top | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the CALGARY FLAMES for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. Calgary has been shut out three times this season and one of those came right here last month 1-0 so there is some major revenge for the Flames. They bounced back from an overtime loss against Buffalo on Tuesday to post a win over Detroit last night 6-4 and they come in winning four of their last five road games. Calgary is 10-3 this season on the road against teams allowing three or more gpg while going 12-2 in 14 games this season after allowing four or more goals. Edmonton has won two straight games and remain in the hunt in the Wild Card race in the Western Conference as it is a point behind Vancouver for the second spot. Home ice has proved to be pretty average for Edmonton as it is 12-11 and the Oilers are 0-4 in their last four home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play on road teams when the money line is -100 to -150 after six or more consecutive overs, that are +0.4 or better in scoring differential going up against a team that is -0.4 to +0.4 in scoring differential. This situation is 26-2 (92.9 percent since 1996. 10* (77) Calgary Flames |

This is a play on the PITTSBURGH PENGUINS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. Pittsburgh opened this five-game roadtrip with a win at Anaheim but dropped the last two games against Los Angeles and San Jose by identical 5-2 scores. The Penguins are still a solid 12-7-4 on the road and they are clinging to a two-point lead over Buffalo for the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. Going back, the Penguins are 9-2 in their last 11 games against teams with a losing record. Arizona upset San Jose at home on Wednesday, making it four wins in its last five games and it is just one point out of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. The Coyotes have been surprisingly good on the road but are a below average 9-12-2 at home. Arizona lost the first meeting in Pittsburgh 3-0 and it is 11-40 in its last 51 games revenging a loss of three goals or more. Here, we play on road favorites of -150 or less in the second half of the season that are outscoring their opponents by 0.5 or more gpg, after a loss by three goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 25-5 (83.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (53) Pittsburgh Penguins |

01-17-19 | Blues v. Bruins -145 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 37 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON BRUINS for our NHL Thursday Breakaway. We lost with Boston last night in Philadelphia as it was in a good spot, outshot the Flyers 42-19, yet lost its second straight game despite outshooting the opposition by more than 20 shots. Tuukka Rask is back in net tonight and he looks to shake off that loss to Montreal which snapped a personal five-game winning streak. Boston is 10-1 in its last 11 games following a loss by one goal. St. Louis was on a roll with three straight wins but lost in overtime in New York on Tuesday against the Islanders. The Blues had also won four straight road games prior to that defeat but are now back under .500 on the highway for the season. St. Louis is 1-8 in its last nine games when playing its 8th game in 14 days. Here, we play against teams in the second half of the season that are allowing 3.0 or more gpg on the season, after allowing two goals or less in two straight games.

01-16-19 | Bruins -145 v. Flyers | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -145 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON BRUINS for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. Philadelphia was on a 1-9 run before rolling over Minnesota on Monday 7-4. The Flyers had scored seven goals total in their previous four games prior to that eruption but it will be a difficult transition into tonight as the Bruins have allowed 2.59 gpg which is third fewest in the league thanks to goalie Jaroslav Halak who is allowing just 2.39 gpg. Boston was on a 5-1 run before losing at home against Montreal on Monday in overtime. The Bruins have been significantly better at home than on the road but that is keeping this number down and they have won four of their last five games on the highway. Meanwhile, the Flyers are 3-13 in their last 16 games after scoring five goals or more in their previous game. Here, we play on road favorites of -200 or less in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 that are playing their 4th game in seven days, playing a losing team. This situation is 111-49 (69.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (23) Boston Bruins |

The Ducks are 0-7-4 over their last 11 games, their last victory coming December 17th in Pittsburgh 4-2. They have scored just 19 goals over this stretch but they face a Detroit team that has allowed 3.30 gpg on the season, seventh most in the NHL.

Detroit has lost 16 of 25 home games this season including losses in six of its last seven. Anaheim is 13-4 after playing two straight games where seven or more total goals were scored while Detroit is 13-33 after playing a game where seven or more total goals were scored.

01-14-19 | Wild -119 v. Flyers | Top | 4-7 | Loss | -119 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA WILD for our NHL Monday Breakaway. Minnesota is coming off a home loss against Detroit as a -233 favorite and it was not pretty as it lost 5-2 while mustering just 18 shots. The Wild were on a 4-1 run prior to that and still claim the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference over Anaheim thanks to its 11 consecutive losses. Minnesota is 20-6 in its last 26 games after a loss by three goals or more in their previous game. The Flyers have been done for a while now as they have lost nine of their last 10 games and currently reside in last place in the Eastern Conference. The Flyers are 3-14 in their last 17 when their opponent scores two goals or less in their previous game. Minnesota has two solid situations on its side. First, we play on road favorites off a home loss by two goals or more, with a winning percentage between .450 and 550 on the season. This situation is 43-11 (79.6 percent) over the last five seasons. Second, we play against home underdogs of +200 or less in the second half of the season with a winning percentage between .300 and .400 after having lost three of their last four games. This situation is 51-12 (81 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (75) Minnesota Wild |

This is a play on the NEW YORK ISLANDERS for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. We played against Tampa Bay last night in Buffalo but the Lightning came through with the win as they scored the final three goals for the two-goal victory. As mentioned yesterday, the Lightning have been hot, winning 23 of their last 27 games. They are 12-1 at home over this stretch and while their 11-3 record on the road is very solid, nine of those road wins have been against teams not in current playoff spots. The Islanders split a home-and-home with the Rangers with each team winning on opposing ice, most recent the Islanders losing at home last night. They have been solid against the top teams here however as they are 7-2 in their last nine home games against teams with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. Additionally, the Islanders are 5-0 in their last five games playing with no rest and here, we play against road teams having won 20 or more of their last 25 games, playing their 4th game in seven days.

This is a play on the NASHVILLE PREDATORS for our NHL Sunday Afternoon Dominator. Nashville opened this roadtrip with a loss at Detroit in overtime but rallied to win three straight before losing on Thursday at Columbus in overtime. The Predators conclude this six-game roadtrip this afternoon in a game they really could use as they are now tied with Winnipeg in the Central Division and head back home to face Washington. Nashville is 23-7 in its last 30 games after allowing three goals or more in two straight games. The Hurricanes are coming off a win over Buffalo on Friday which was their sixth win in seven games to move five points out of the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference.

Here, we play against home underdogs of +150 or less after having won three of their last four games, with a losing record.

This is a play on the EDMONTON OILERS as part of our NHL Saturday Hat Trick. We lost with Arizona on Thursday as it won in Vancouver in overtime 4-3 despite taking just 22 shots. It was the second straight road overtime win for the Coyotes which are now over .500 on the highway. The win over the Canucks gave Arizona 41 points but a letdown is coming as it is 1-14 in its last 15 games off a divisional road win. Edmonton snapped a five-game home losing streak with a shootout win over Florida on Thursday and is now just two points out of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference. Edmonton has won seven of the last eight meetings including four straight at home. Here, we play against road underdogs after successfully covering the spread in two or more consecutive games, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .400 and .499. This situation is 199-87 (69.6 percent) since 1996. 9* (54) Edmonton Oilers |

01-12-19 | Blues v. Stars -136 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -136 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS STARS as part of our NHL Saturday Hat Trick. St. Louis defeated Montreal on Thursday but winning consecutive games has been rare for the Blues as they have done it just twice since early November and in both cases, the second game took place at home. St. Louis is six games under .500 despite a favorable schedule where it has played 26 games at home compared to just 16 games on the road. Going back, the Blues are 4-13 in their last 17 games following a win. Dallas is back home following a 1-2 roadtrip that concluded with a 2-1 loss at Philadelphia on Thursday. The Stars have struggled to a 9-13-2 record on the road but at home, they are 14-5-2 which has kept them in third place in the Central Division, eight points behind Winnipeg and Nashville and two points clear of Colorado. Dallas is 22-7 in its last 29 home games after one or more consecutive losses. 10* (50) Dallas Stars |

01-12-19 | Lightning v. Sabres +170 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
This is a play on the BUFFALO SABRES as part of our NHL Saturday Hat Trick. Despite a recent rough stretch where Buffalo has gone 3-6-1 over its last 10 games, it is still in the playoff scenario as it is in the second Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Sabres lost in Carolina last night which was their fourth straight road loss but a return home is big as they are 11-5 in their last 16 home games. Tampa Bay is having a special season and the recent run has been off the charts as the Lightning have won 22 of their last 26 games. They are 12-1 at home over this stretch and while their 10-3 record on the road is very solid, eight of those road wins have been against teams not in current playoff spots. Here, we play against road teams off two consecutive home wins by two goals or more going up against an opponent off a road loss. This situation is 38-17 (69.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (40) Buffalo Sabres |

01-11-19 | Panthers +205 v. Flames | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 34 m | Show |
This is a play on the FLORIDA PANTHERS for our NHL Friday Breakaway. Florida is coming off a shootout loss last night in Edmonton as it gave up the game-tying goal to Connor McDavid with eight seconds remaining in the game. It is a tough loss to swallow, especially now facing the best team in the Western Conference but that is being taken into consideration with the odds. Florida is 21-4 in its last 25 games in the second half of the season against teams allowing 2.85 or more gpg. Additionally, the Panthers are 5-2 in their last seven games playing with no rest while going 8-2 in their last 10 games in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Calgary has won three straight games and five of six to take control of the conference but a letdown is in store here. The Flames have 15 wins against the top 16, tied for most in the NHL, including last time out against Colorado but have played down recently as they are 3-11 in their last 14 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (29) Florida Panthers |

This is a play on the VANCOUVER CANUCKS as part of our NHL Thursday Hat Trick. Arizona opened 0-2-1 on its most recent four-game homestand but it was able to salvage the finale, a 5-0 win over the Rangers. The Coyotes have actually been better on the road than at home but its 10-9-1 record is nothing special. They are 16-36 in their last 52 road games against teams with a losing home record. Vancouver concluded its six-game roadtrip with a pair of shutout losses against Montreal and Toronto after opening 3-1. The Canucks are 4-1 this season following getting shutout while also going 4-1 in their last five games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. Here, we play against road underdogs after a win by three goals or more going up against an opponent after a loss by four goals or more in their previous game.

Winnipeg is 21-45 in its last 66 road games after covering the spread in two or more consecutive game. Minnesota is back home following a 3-1 roadtrip but it did lose the finale, a 4-0 loss in Boston. The Wild will still carry some positive momentum back home where it has lost four straight.

Here, we play on favorites after scoring one goal or less in their previous game going up against an opponent after scoring five goals or more in two straight games.

This is a play on the ST. LOUIS BLUES as part of our NHL Thursday Hat Trick. Montreal shook off a pair of home losses with a 3-2 win in Detroit on Tuesday which was its second straight road win and fifth in its last six games. The offense has struggled of late though as the Canadiens have averaged just 1.80 gpg over their last five games. Going back, the Canadiens are 11-23 in their last 34 games following a win. St. Louis lost to Dallas on Tuesday which was its second straight home loss and fourth in its last five games. This is a big game to conclude the homestand as 14 of its next 17 games take place on the road. The Blues are 4-1 in their last five games after scoring two goals or less in their previous game.

01-09-19 | Avalanche +160 v. Flames | Top | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 31 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO AVALANCHE for our NHL Wednesday Breakaway. Talk about a slide. Colorado was in prime position in the Central Division to make a run at Nashville and Winnipeg and then the wheels fell off. The Avalanche have lost 11 of their last 14 games but still hold down the top Wild Card spot in the Western Conference as all but one team below them is on a losing skid as well. Of those 11 losses, three have come in overtime while three others have come by just one goal so they have been close to being on the other side. Calgary closed a 3-1 roadtrip with a pair of wins over Philadelphia and Chicago but that is not saying much and the Flames come into tonight having lost three of their last four home games. This spot is not ideal either as Calgary is 6-13 in its last 19 home games after playing two consecutive road games. Colorado falls into a great underdog situation as we play against home favorites of -200 or less that are playing six or more games in 10 days, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team in the second half of the season. This situation is 99-91 (52.1 percent) since 1996. While that percentage looks average, it is based on underdogs and has netted 52 units over that stretch. 10* (67) Colorado Avalanche |

Dallas is coming off a loss at Winnipeg on Sunday which snapped a two-game winning streak as well as a two-game road winning streak. The Stars are 8-12-2 on the road but thanks to a strong home record, they have hold on the top Wild Card spot in the Western Conference and that road record is keeping this price low. Dallas is 4-0 ATS in road games after scoring two goals or less in two straight games this season. St. Louis played last night and won in Philadelphia 3-0, which was its third shutout on the season. The Blues lost in their next game the two previous times and this is the time playing on no rest coming off a shutout. The Blues are 2-9 in their last 11 games following a win while going 0-7 in their last seven games in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Here, we play on road teams when the moneyline is -100 to -150 after allowing five goals or more going up against an opponent after a win by two goals or more.

The Lightning are back home where they went a perfect 6-0 in December and where they have won seven straight overall. They have lost consecutive games only once all season and in the first instance, they lost the second game on the road. Tampa Bay is 11-0 in its last 11 home games after playing three consecutive road games while going 10-1 in its 11 home games when playing against a team with a winning record this season. Columbus defeated Florida on Saturday to make it 1-1 in the first two games of this three-game roadtrip. Columbus is 0-4 after winning their previous game in overtime this season.

That was the second straight loss for the Canadiens following a 5-1 stretch and the offense has managed just one goal in the two games. Now they get to face a horrible defense as Detroit allows 3.32 gpg which is sixth most in the league. The Canadiens are 4-0 in their last four games in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation while going 4-1 in their last five road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. Detroit won for us on Friday as it won in overtime against Nashville but it failed to capitalize as it los to Washington two days later.

This is a play on the WASHINGTON CAPITALS for our NHL Sunday Breakaway. Typically, we are not into laying juice on the road but we could not ask for a better situation today with this matchup. Detroit won for us on Friday as it blew a late 3-2 lead but eventually won in overtime as a +160 underdog which snapped a six-game losing streak.

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES KINGS for our NHL Saturday Breakaway. Los Angeles is coming off a pair of losses against two of the hottest teams in the NHL, losing 2-0 at Vegas followed up by a 6-2 loss at home against Tampa Bay on Thursday. The Kings have had a brutal stretch by playing 10 of their last 11 games against teams currently holding down playoff spots and they have gone a respectable 5-4-2 in those games. Goalie Jonathan Quick had a nice five-game run going where he went 4-1 with a 1.80 GAA before he was ambushed by Tampa Bay on Thursday where he allowed six goals on 33 shots. The Kings are 6-2 in their last eight games following a loss of three or more goals. Edmonton snapped a six-game slide with a 3-1 win over Arizona on Wednesday.

After a slow start to the season, Vegas has started to hit its stride as it is now just two points behind Calgary for first place in the Pacific Division. The Golden Knights have won four straight games and going back, they are 15-3-3 over their last 21 games so the fact they come in here favored comes as no surprise. Helping with that is Anaheim which has lost six straight games. The first four defeats all came on the road and while the last two were at home, both of those were in overtime. Anaheim was 5-1 in its previous six home games and despite this recent skid, it still holds down the second Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.

Winnipeg snapped a two-game slide with a win in Edmonton on Monday so it has had a lengthy break which can never be a bad thing this time of the season.

The Penguins have actually fared better on the road than at home and this season they are 0-4 in four home games when playing against a team with a winning percentage between .600 and .750. Here, we play on road underdogs +150 or less off a road win scoring four or more goals going up against an opponent off a road win. This situation is 42-26 (61.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (61) Winnipeg Jets |

01-03-19 | Canucks v. Canadiens -175 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
This is a play on the MONTREAL CANADIENS as part of our NHL Thursday Hat Trick. Montreal is coming off a successful 4-2 roadtrip that included a pair of overtime wins and the Canadiens certainly happy to be back home. They started out west for three games then went to Florida for a pair of games and closed in Dallas so they were all over the place and are back in Canada for the first time since December 17th. Nine of their last 12 games have been on the road. Canadiens goalie Carey Price, who hasn't played since Dec. 22 due to a lower-body injury, should be back on the ice tonight but Antti Niemi was not horrible by going 2-1 in the three games he started. On the other side, Jacob Markstrom, who has nine wins in his past 10 games, played last night and he has made only two starts with no rest. He went 1-1 and the lone win was at home when he faced only 22 shots. Vancouver won for the third time in four games to start this six-game roadtrip but it has struggled in spots like this. The Canucks are 2-9 in their last 11 games playing with no rest while going 1-10 in its last 11 games after winning their previous game in overtime. Meanwhile, the Canadiens are 6-1 in their last seven games against teams with a losing record. 8* (54) Montreal Canadiens |

01-03-19 | Hurricanes v. Flyers -114 | 5-3 | Loss | -114 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA FLYERS as part of our NHL Thursday Hat Trick. The Flyers return home following a miserable roadtrip where they defeated the Rangers in a shootout to open up but then lost the last four games including the last three where they scored a total of two goals. While home ice has not exactly been a big advantage, it has been much better than the road where their 14 losses are third most in the NHL. One of those losses came in Carolina on December 31st so there is some immediate payback in order and Philadelphia has won five of the last seven meetings at home against Carolina. The Hurricanes have not played since that game which snapped a two-game skid and going back, they have lost 10 of their last 14 games. Carolina has just six road wins as the offense has been horrid, averaging just 2.06 gpg which is second worst in the league. The Hurricanes are 0-5 in their last five games following a win and they fall into a negative situation where we play against road teams after allowing two goals or less in two straight games going up against an opponent after a loss by four goals or more in their previous game. This situation is 44-19 (69.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 9* (50) Philadelphia Flyers |

01-03-19 | Panthers v. Sabres -117 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the BUFFALO SABRES as part of our NHL Thursday Hat Trick. This line came out late because of the doubtful status of Jack Eichel who is most likely out tonight after leaving the last game with an injury but it is a spot where other players tend to elevate their play when a star player goes down. Ever since a 10-game winning streak in November, it has been a tough stretch for Buffalo as it has lost 11 of its last 15 games including the last three. The Sabres were able to salvage one point in four of those losses to remain in the playoff hunt as they currently possess the top Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. The Sabres are 5-2 in their last 7 home games against teams with a losing road record. Florida has won six of its last eight games including four of its last five and while it does include a win over Toronto, that was at home and the only quality road win over this stretch happened to come in Buffalo on December 18th so there is revenge in play tonight. The Panthers other road wins during this winning streak came against Chicago and Detroit twice which are a combined 30-54 and going back, the Panthers are 7-18 in their last 25 road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (52) Buffalo Sabres |
