DUCKS VS COYOTES 8* NHL BOOKIE BOMBER The Yotes have only two wins on the season and they've been shut out two games in a row. They lost the first contest of this two-game set 1-0 but outshot the Ducks 31-24. Desperation breeds motivation, and I think Arizona will be the hungrier team and get rewarded for it in this one. Home team is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. 8* play on Arizona Coyotes.

This looks like a great time to fade them, following a big effort in a 6-3 win over the Blues on Sunday. The Wild meanwhile will be looking to bounce back from a 5-3 loss at San Jose. Kings are 2-5 in their last 7 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game. Kings are 17-41 in their last 58 games as a road underdog. Wild are 5-0 in their last 5 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game. Kings are 1-7 in the last 8 meetings in Minnesota. 10* play on Minnesota.

Admittedly, both sides have had a rough start to the season, but the Nucks have enough talent to go on a run once in a while. The Senators are a notoriously poor road team. They are 11-41 in their last 52 games as a road underdog and 3-9 in the last 12 meetings in Vancouver. 8* play on Vancouver.

*BIG BET ALERT* NHL EAST GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* TOP PLAY The Buffalo Sabres are 1-3-1 on the season. All their losses have come to the Washington Capitals, most recently a 4-3 OT setback Friday night. The Caps are 3-0-2 on the season but four of their five games being decided by a single goal, and three have gone past regulation. The Caps will be shorthanded with star captain Alex Ovechkin, No. 1 goaltender Ilya Samsonov, forward Evgeny Kuznetsov and defenseman Dmitry Orlov all ruled out because of NHL COVID-19 protocols. I fully expect the Sabres to be the more motivated of the two sides in this one. 10* play on Buffalo.

SUPER EARLY RED WINGS VS BLACKHAWKS MATINEE MASSACRE ~ 12:30 ET START The Blackhawks defeated Detroit 4-1 Friday night for their first win of the season. I like the Red Wings to earn a split of this doubleheader with a win today. The Hawks are struggling to create chances on 5-vs-5. Detroit outshot them 31-27, and if the Red Wings can just stay out of the penalty box and be more efficient on the man advantage themselves (0-for-5 in the first game) they'll win this one comfortably. 8* play on Detroit.

They won the first game of this home-then-home in OT and controlled the game, outshooting the Jackets 37 to 25. Columbus has only one win on the season and has yet to score more than three goals in a game. The Lightning are averaging 4.3 gpg while allowing only 1.7 gpg. Blue Jackets are 5-16 in their last 21 games as an underdog. Lightning are 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. 8* play on Tampa Bay Lightning.

TOP-RATED 10* NHL NORTH GAME OF THE MONTH This looks like a great spot to back the Leafs to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to the Oilers in the opener of this home-then-home doubleheader. Toronto outshot the Oilers 26-21 in the first game and they own a winning record on the season (3-2-0) while Edmonton has a losing record (2-3-0). Toronto sniper Auston Matthews missed practice yesterday; "He just wasn't feeling great coming off the game," Leafs head coach Sheldon Keefe said. "We'll have an update [Friday] morning." If Matthews plays, great. If not, I expect the rest of the Leafs to step it up a notch and take more responsibility in the absence of their best player, particularly coming off a loss. Oilers are 2-7 in the last 9 meetings in Toronto. The favorite is 12-3 in the last 15 meetings. 10* play on Toronto.

Here they'll face a Toronto team that has scored 14 goals in four games, and not fewer than three in any game. The Leafs have gone an impressive 6-for-14 (43%) on the power play while Edmonton has been among the worst in the league, going only 2-for-18 with the extra attacker. The Oilers are a fade in my book until they show they've turned a corner. 8* play on Toronto.

LIGHTNING VS STARS STANLEY CUP FINALS GAME 6 BOOKIE BU$TER The Tampa Bay had Dallas by the ropes after reeling off three straight wins since dropping the opener of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Stars managed to stay alive and force a Game 6 with a 3-2 double OT win last time out, but they're still in a very tough spot as Tampa needs just one more win to lift the cup. Tampa captain Steven Stamkos will miss the rest of the playoffs, but note that the Lightning have never lost a series in which they have held a 3-1 lead and they are a perfect 6-0 following a loss in the playoffs this season. I just think this is too much of an uphill battle for the Stars and I don't see them surviving another game. 8* play on Tampa Bay Lightning.

It seemingly took a game for them to figure the Stars out and they looked a lot more comfortable than the scoreline would suggest last time out. The Stars aggression won them the first game, but it cost them in Game 2 as the Lightning were sharper on special teams, going 2-for-4 on the man advantage while killing off four of five penalties. I like the Lightning with the momentum here in Game 3. 8* play on Tampa Bay Lightning.
