Minnesota -1.5 +150

This PL on Minnesota is too tough to pass up on.

Columbus does come in off a hard fought win last night against a lowly Ottawa team in overtime, but they still are not playing up to any of their standards. Injuries have just killed the momentum of this side and Minnesota is one of the toughest home teams to crack in the NHL.

The Wild have played some of their best hockey in this building and Columbus has dropped their last 4 road games.

Look for Columbus to have some tired legs here and for the Wild to pick apart their defense in this one.

Some trends to note. Blue Jackets are 1-8 in their last 9 overall. Wild are 10-4 in their last 14 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game.

Back Minnesota PL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NHL PL Play

Boston -140

The Bruins have value laying the price on the road here. 

Vancouver has been a big surprise in the NHL this season, but this is simply not a good matchup for them. 

The Bruins come into play on the road this season a solid 17-9-1-2 as they have been one of the toughest teams to crack for opponents. Combine that with Boston's latest 10-1 run over their last 11 and this is going to be a game where Vancouver struggles to get anything going. 

Some trends to note. Bruins are 5-1 in their last 6 road games. Bruins are 37-14 in their last 51 vs. Pacific.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NHL ML Play

Nashville -1.5 +152

This is a nice value bet on Nashville here laying the PL with plus money. 

Columbus continues to be in free fall mode as they dropped another decision on Thursday night. If that wasn't bad enough, they now have another injury to deal with. 

Oliver Bjorkstrand is out 8-10 weeks leaving a Columbus team that has been playing with limited depth in a whole heap of trouble. 

Nashville meanwhile has also dominated this series. The Blue Jackets are 5-24 in the last 29 meetings in Nashville and are 16-41 in the last 57 meetings overall.

Some trends to note. Predators are 4-1 in their last 5 vs. a team with a losing record. Predators are 7-3 in their last 10 vs. Metropolitan.

Back Nashville PL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NHL PL Play

Tampa Bay vs. Vegas Under 6.5

The Under here has value to work with on Thursday night.

Both of these teams are extremely physical and don't allow much at the net. Expect this game to turn into a grind, where both teams are clearing the zone and putting an emphasis on possession. 

This has also been an Under series as of late. The Under has gone 3-0-1 in the last 4 and both of these teams situationally have trended towards the Under as of late.

Some trends to note. Under is 5-2-2 in Golden Knights last 9 vs. Atlantic. Under is 10-3-2 in Lightning last 15 games following a win.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NHL O/U Play

Vancouver -123

This is a low line for a team that played so well at home this season.

Vancouver has been the surprise of the NHL for sure this year as they have continued to do just about everything right under the radar.

A key to their success has been home ice. Vancouver has gone 19-7-2-1 at home this season and they've done it with stellar defense. Combine that factor with the Wild only 10-15-2-0 away from home and the edge sits here with the Canucks.

Some trends to note. Canucks are 11-2 in their last 13 home games. Canucks are 4-1 in their last 5 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals.

Back Vancouver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NHL ML Play

Nashville Predators -120

This is a low line here for Nashville (29-22-7), at home, on Tuesday vs. the Hurricanes (33-21-4). 

The Predators are making a nice bid for another postseason appearance and they're starting to really catch some fire here. They've won 3 in a row, which includes a victory over the defending Champions last time out on Sunday. 

Nashville has a lot of good things working right now for them, as they continue to grind it out on the defensive end. They are not allowing anything easy at the net and they're doing a great job controlling the possession. 

Look for them to that here on Tuesday and dictate the pace. 

Some trends to note. Predators are 7-2 in their last 9 vs. Metropolitan. Predators are 5-2 in their last 7 overall.

Back Nashville.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NHL ML Play

Philadelphia -150

The Flyers (32-20-7) have value at home here on Tuesday. 

Philadelphia catches the Blue Jackets (30-18-12) at a perfect time. They have dropped 5 in a row and they have not matched up well with the Flyers this season losing both games to them. 

Columbus had hit a nice run in the middle part of the season despite a lot of injuries, but now it looks as if things are hitting a wall finally. 

Expect the Flyers to keep their momentum rolling at home, as G Corey Hart is a solid 13-4 this season in front of the home crowd. 

Some trends to note. Flyers are 4-1 in their last 5 home games. Flyers are 12-4 in their last 16 games as a home favorite.

Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* NHL ML Play

Tampa Bay -113

We are all over Tampa Bay here on Monday.

They come into this matchup with a huge situational edge. 

In this series, the Lightning have cashed in 5 of the last 6 overall and they've won the last 4 in a row in Colorado. They've done it with dominate play on both sides of the puck, as they've been able to dictate the pace of play in this matchup.

Look for them to do just that on Monday night, as they've been on an incredibly nice run here where they have played with a ton of confidence.

Some trends to note here. Lightning are 5-0 in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. Lightning are 12-1 in their last 13 vs. a team with a winning record.

We're now hearing Avs starting G Grubauer is out indefinitely as well! 

Back Tampa Bay.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 10* NHL ML TOP PLAY

Washington +121

The Caps have value at this line here on Monday.

Washington heads into Vegas after we faded them on Saturday in Arizona. This is a much better matchup for them as they have dominated this series as of late. 

Over the last 7 head to head meetings, the Caps have cashed in 6 of them. 

Look for Washington to be the aggressor early on here, as they simply came out too tentative on Saturday night. Given the issues Vegas has had on both sides of the puck, Washington can really put them on tilt here Monday.

Some trends to note. Capitals are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. Pacific. Capitals are 9-2 in their last 11 games as an underdog.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NHL ML Play

Toronto -1.5

The Leafs are going to bring us in some plus money in this one.

They go on the road into Buffalo and have a huge edge. Toronto has the ability to really wear teams out and they can push the tempo on the Sabres in this one. 

With the speed Toronto plays at, Buffalo will have its issues on the defensive end and struggle to clear the zone. Expect Toronto to pepper the net and crash for rebounds, creating a lot of scoring chances here for them.

Some trends to note. Toronto are 8-3 SU in their last 11 games on the road, and 7-1 SU in their last 8 games against Buffalo. Buffalo are 3-9 SU in their last 12 games against an opponent in the Atlantic Division division. BUF are 18-37 in their last 55 Sun. games.

Expect all the advantages to sit with the visitors here. 

Back Toronto on the PUCK line (-1.5).

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NHL PL Play

Boston -145

The Bruins have value on the road in New York Sunday.

While the Rangers are in the midst of a nice run, Boston is a far step up in competition from what they’ve seen recently.

The Bruins come in 12-3-1 in their last 16 overall and during that stretch they’ve scored 4 goals or more on 9 occasions.

This team just has too many weapons to contain. Expect the Bruins to dictate the pace and have this Rangers defense scrambling in their own zone all night.

Some trends to note. Boston are 9-2 SU in their last 11 games this season, 8-1 in their last 9 overall, 7-1 in their last 8 vs. a team with a winning record, and 57-28 in their last 85 games as a favorite. Head to head the favorite is 12-5 in the last 17 meetings.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NHL ML Play

Arizona +124

The Coyotes at plus money are the move here.

Washington has struggled mightily as of late in this series when traveling across country. The Capitals have dropped 6 of the last 8 in this series in Arizona as they've had issues with the west coast swing. 

Arizona has also been playing much better as of late. 

The Coyotes ranks 5th on the defensive end and rarely allow anything easy in their end. Expect them to suffocate this Caps offense and control the possession in this one.

Some trends to note. Coyotes are 16-5 in their last 21 vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Coyotes are 27-58 in their last 85 vs. Metropolitan.

Back Arizona.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NHL ML Play

Montreal +1.5

The Canadiens have value on the PL here. 

Montreal has gone a solid 6-3 in their last 9 against the Eastern Conference. Overall as well they've played much better as of late, winning in 5 of their last 8. 

This is a Montreal team that is physical and will come right at opponents. Expect them to be the aggressor in this one early on, as Pittsburgh has been a bit tentative as of late. 

Some trends to here. Canadiens are 5-1 in their last 6 Friday games. Canadiens are 4-1 in their last 5 road games.

With the Underdog and road team doing solid in this head to head series, grabbing the PL is a smart move.

Back Montreal PL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NHL PL Play

New York vs. Nashville Over 5.5

Here, the total sits below 6, giving this a lot of value to work with.

Both of these offenses have flourished thus far into the season. They are attack minded and have plenty of weapons on each side that can strike for goals. 

That has been the case in this head to head series over recent meetings. The Over has cashed in 5 straight meetings int his series as both of these teams love to crash the net. Look for that to happen here on Thursday as we should see a lot of opportunities on goal both ways.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1-2 in the last 7 meetings in Nashville. Over is 7-3-1 in Islanders last 11 games following a win.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NHL O/U Play 

Vancouver -145

The Canucks (31-21-5) are worth the juice here.

For starters, Vancouver has been a surprise team this season. They are right in the thick of things and their home play has been a huge reason for that. 

They catch Chicago (25-23-8) here at the right time as well. The  Blackhawks are in off a back to back as they had to deal with a battle in Edmonton Tuesday. The Oilers are such a tough team to handle and we saw that as they forced Chicago into a fast paced game.

Vancouver loves to control the possession and wear teams down and should find tons of success against a tired Chicago group.

Some trends to note. Chicago are 3-6 SU in their last 9 games against an opponent in the Pacific division, and are 2-7 SU in their last 9 games against Vancouver. Vancouver are 10-1 SU in their last 11 games at home.

Back Vancouver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NHL ML Play

Tampa Bay -101

The Lightning are a nice move on the road here.

Typically, back to backs are always tough on teams. However, the Lightning are not in that boat. 

Tampa Bay has gone 5-1 in their last 6 in the 2nd leg of back to backs and they have done well against the Metro Division. The Lightning have cashed in 5 of the last 6 against this division and they are playing with a lot of confidence right now. 

Expect Tampa Bay to come out with some aggression here, as they have gone 4-1 SU in this series over the last 5 meetings. 

Some trends to note. Lightning are 40-11 in their last 51 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. Lightning are 68-23 in their last 91 vs. Eastern Conference.

Back Tampa Bay.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play

Tampa Bay -140

The Lightning and Blue Jackets reunite after Columbus pulled off one of the greatest playoff upsets last season. 

Tampa Bay is in a revenge spot as they certainly haven't forgot about that game.

The Lightning have been a team on a mission this season and come into Monday one of the best road teams in the league. Combine that with them being 8-1 in their last 9 against teams with winning records. We should see the Lightning be on the attack in this one as they'll pepper this Columbus net and put the pressure on early.

Some trends to note. Lightning are 11-2 in their last 13 Monday games. Lightning are 42-10 in their last 52 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game.

Back Tampa Bay.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NHL ML Play

Minnesota Wild +105

The Wild (26-22-6) are valuable at plus money. 

Minnesota is on a nice run, as they’ve cashed in 3 straight. Combine that with their solid home play and this is a great matchup for them.

Colorado (31-16-6) comes in off a hard fought win Saturday in Columbus. The quick turnaround and travel will be tough here and should see them battle a lot of fatigue. Expect Minnesota to be the aggressor here and try to wear this Avs team down early.

Some trends to note. Colorado are 2-4 SU in their last 6 games against Minnesota, and 2-5 SU in their last 7 games against an opponent in the Central division. Minnesota are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games, are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games at home, and 6-2 SU in their last 8 games this season.

Back Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NHL ML Play

Pittsburgh Penguins -120

The Penguins (33-15-5) have value at this low of juice on the road here versus the Panthers (29-18-6). 

Pittsburgh has a huge situational edge on their side entering Saturday. In the last 45 meetings, the Pens have cashed in 31 of them. 

Pittsburgh comes into play with one of the best offenses and defenses in the league as well They sit 7th on both sides of the puck averaging 3.3 goals per game while conceding only 2.8. 

Expect them to control the tempo here against a Florida that struggles with the possession. They have one of the worst defenses in the NHL and have their issues clearing their own zone.

Some trends to note. Penguins are 10-2 in their last 12 vs. a team with a winning record. Penguins are 16-5 in their last 21 games as a favorite.

Back Pittsburgh.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NHL ML Play

Minnesota vs. Dallas Under 5

Minnesota (24-22-4-2) and Dallas (30-18-3-2) have value on the Under here.

Dallas returns home after a hard fought 2-1 road swing and their schedule ahead features some of the top competition in the NHL. With the schedule ahead, we should expect Dallas to really bunker down defensively. Look for them to try to turn this into a possession game and not allow Minnesota to get out with their speed.

We should also see Minnesota play with a slow speed. They dealt with Vancouver on Thursday night and playing in a back to back is never an easy task.

Some trends to note. Under is 17-5 in Wild last 22 in the third game of a 3-in-4 days situation. Under is 42-17-4 in Stars last 63 games as a favorite.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* NHL O/U Play

Minnesota -125

The Wild (24-22-4-2) have value laying the low juice here at home.

Minnesota is a much different team at home. They have the ability to really frustrate opposing defenses when playing in front of their home crowd. Because of that, they come into Thursday 15-7-2-2 in this building. 

Vancouver (30-19-5) is starting to have some regress as well. They have dropped 2 straight and with this being the final stop on a 5 game road swing, they are going to be distracted with the idea of getting home. Look for them to come out flat and for Minnesota to take advantage.

Trends to note here. The Wild are 4-2 SU in their last 6 games, and 4-2 SU in their last 6 games at home.

Back Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NHL ML Play

Nashville -121

The Preds have value laying a low amount of juice here on the road.

Winnipeg has been far too inconsistent this season. They just endured a brutal 5 game losing streak that did come to an end, but featured some really sluggish hockey as they have fallen deep into the Western Conference standings. 

The Predators meanwhile are in a great situational spot. They are 4-1 in their last 5 road games and the road team has cashed in 7 of the last 10 head to head meetings in this series.

Some other trends to note here. Predators are 12-3 in their last 15 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals. Predators are 6-2 in their last 8 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game.

The edge sits with the visitors.

Back Nashville.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play

St. Louis -133

The Blues are a nice move on Tuesday night at home.

St. Louis has been one of the most dominant teams at home thus far. They come into Tuesday a solid 17-4-2-2 as they have just been one of the toughest teams to crack on home ice. 

The Blues have also done extremely well in this series as of late. 

They have won 4 of the last 5 meetings overall and and 5 of the last 7 here in St. Louis.

Some trends to note. Blues are 11-5 in their last 16 Tuesday games. Blues are 37-17 in their last 54 home games.

Back St. Louis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NHL ML Play

Minnesota Wild +125

The Wild (23-21-4-2) are at a nice price at home Saturday versus the Boston Bruins (29-10-12). 

Minnesota has been a much better team at home versus on the road thus far. They come into action on Saturday 14-6-2-2 in Minnesota this season, which is one of the better marks in the league. 

Minnesota has also fared well against the Atlantic in recent meetings. The Wild have cashed in 5 of the last 7 against the division. 

Some trends to note. Bruins are 1-4 in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. Bruins are 0-5 in their last 5 vs. a team with a losing record.

Back Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NHL ML Play

Columbus -105

The Blue Jackets (27-16-8) are back in action Saturday after their long layoff in Buffalo. 

Columbus was one of the biggest surprises in the NHL in the first half of the season and take on a Buffalo team that they match up very well against. 

Things have been hard enough on this Sabres' (22-22-7) offense this season as they are putting up just 2.9 goals per game. If that wasn't bad enough, they take on one of the hottest defenses in the NHL thanks in large part to the goalie play from Columbus. 

The Blue Jackets have been absolutely lock down and they should be able to control the possession here against Buffalo in Saturday's matchup.

Some trends to note. Blue Jackets are 6-0 in their last 6 overall. Blue Jackets are 10-1 in their last 11 vs. Eastern Conference.

Back Columbus.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NHL ML Play

Montreal vs Buffalo Over 

On the ice here, the Over has nice value to work with on Thursday.

The Montreal Canadiens (22-22-7) and Buffalo Sabres (22-21-7) like to attack and crash the net which should provide us with many goal scoring opportunities here.

Combine that with the goalie situation and this Over has really nice value. Montreal G Carey Price has allowed 10 goals in his last two starts against the Sabres. 

Buffalo will go with backup Carter Hutton or an AHL call up here. Hutton owns a near 5 GAA and either way Montreal should be able to really put the pressure on one of these netminders.

Some trends to note. The total has gone OVER in 6 of Montreal's last 9 games on the road. The total has gone OVER in 4 of Buffalo's last 5 games against Montreal. Head to head Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NHL O/U Play

Arizona -119

The Coyotes (26-20-5) have value as a small road favorite here.

Arizona has been far more consistent than this Ducks team. 

The Coyotes come in with the extra rest edge as well. They have had 10 days to clear their minds and get ready for the 2nd half push here.

This is a great opponent for them, given they have cashed in 5 of the last 7 head to head meetings.

Some trends to note here. Coyotes are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. a team with a losing record. Coyotes are 4-1 in their last 5 games as a favorite.

Expect Arizona to dictate the pace in this one. 

Back Arizona.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NHL ML Play

Toronto +104

The Maple Leafs (26-17-7) have value at plus money here. 

Toronto has the head to head edge here, which gives makes them a very nice value play. 

For starters, the Underdog has gone 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in this series. Combine that with Toronto going 4-1 in their last 5 in Dallas and 8-2 in the last 10 overall in this series and there is a huge situational advantage. 

Some other trends to note. Maple Leafs are 6-1 in their last 7 road games. Maple Leafs are 5-2 in their last 7 vs. a team with a winning record.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NHL ML Play

St. Louis -125

The defending Stanley Cup Champions have value on the road here. 

St. Louis (30-11-8) played extremely well in the first half, which was the complete opposite of what they did last season.

This team is not only one of the best offensively with all the weapons they have, they also have the ability to really lock down defensively. 

The key has been controlling the possession and they matchup very well with this Vancouver (27-18-4) team on Monday.

Look for St. Louis to control the tempo here and really put an emphasis on not allowing Vancouver many clean scoring chances.

Some trends to note. Blues are 7-2 in their last 9 vs. Pacific. Blues are 20-8 in their last 28 games as a favorite.

Back St. Louis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NHL ML Play 

Pittsburgh -125

The Penguins (31-13-5) have value here Tuesday night. 

Pittsburgh has won 6 of 7 overall and come in off an impressive win over the Bruins. Pittsburgh fell behind 3-0, before rattling off 4 goals in the win. 

They have played with extreme confidence and already have a dominant performance over the Flyers (26-17-6) under their belts. A 7-1 thrashing back on October 29th has Philadelphia feeling a slight disadvantage heading into play. 

Look for the Penguins to be the aggressor here as they’re at their best when they pepper the net.

Some trends to note.  Pittsburgh are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games, are 10-5 SU in their last 15 games against Philadelphia, and are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games on the road. Philadelphia are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games when playing at home against Pittsburgh.

Back Pittsburgh. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play

Minnesota +104

The Wild (21-20-4-2) have value at plus money Saturday. 

Minnesota has played their better portion of the hockey at home this season. They come in off a nice win over the Lightning and they've fared well against the Stars as of late. The Wild have cashed in 5 of the last 7 meetings head to head. 

Combine that with the home team dominating this season. Over the last 69 meetings, the home team has won 47 of them.

Some trends to note. Stars are 2-7 in their last 9 games as a road favorite.Stars are 1-4 in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NHL ML Play

Montreal +115

The Canadiens (21-21-6-1) have value at plus money here.

This is a nice spot to fade the Golden Knights. They continue to have issues off the ice with their coach just being fired and now face a tough stretch ahead of them. 

Montreal is no pushover and they have played extremely well as of late against the Pacific Division. Over the last 8 meetings with Pacific foes, they have cashed in 6 of them. 

Vegas has been far too inconsistent this season and they've struggled on the road in particular at times.

Some trends to note. Golden Knights are 2-5 in their last 7 vs. Eastern Conference.Golden Knights are 1-4 in their last 5 overall.

Back Montreal.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NHL ML Play

Tampa Bay -131

The Lightning have value Friday night. 

Tampa Bay (28-15-4) looks to rebound off a tough loss last night in Minnesota, a place where they just never play well. 

Situationally, this is a great spot for the Lightning. They come into play on Friday,-15 in their last 52 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. They are a team that really bounces back and rarely lets losses pile up. 

The Jets are simply too inconsistent here as the Lightning have the ability to really control this game's tempo and pace. 

Some trends to note. Lightning are 81-37 in their last 118 games as a favorite.Lightning are 89-42 in their last 131 overall.

Back Tampa Bay.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NHL ML Play

Vancouver -120

The Canucks (25-18-4) have surprised a lot of people this season with their solid play in the first half.

They hold value at home here against the Coyotes, where they have played extremely well against the Coyotes (26-18-5) in the past. 

Coming into Thursday, Vancouver has gone 23-11-1 in the last 35 meetings head to head across the border. This has been from many factors, but the main one has been their ability to get out to an early lead. Combine that with their stellar power play this year and here on Thursday they should be in store for a lot of success. 

Some trends to note. Canucks are 6-1 in their last 7 vs. Western Conference. Canucks are 4-1 in their last 5 Thursday games.

Back Vancouver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* NHL ML Play

Boston -134

The Bruins (27-9-12) have value laying the price here.

Boston has dominated this series as of late, giving them very nice value on the moneyline here. 

Boston has cashed in 16 of the last 23 meetings overall. Combine that with their performance in Boston and this is a really nice edge. The Bruins have won 12 of the last 13 meetings with Pittsburgh (29-12-5) here inside the TD Garden as they've simply had their number. 

That bodes well for them entering Thursday as they should come out with a lot of fire and confidence here against the Pens. 

Some trends to note. Bruins are 9-4 in their last 13 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. Bruins are 8-1 in their last 9 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NHL ML Play

Boston -138

The Bruins (27-8-12) have value laying the price here on the road.

Columbus (22-16-8) comes back from a successful west coast swing that saw them take 3 of 4 huge wins. The travel is going to play a toll on them here against one of the most physical teams in the NHL. 

Boston is in a revenge spot here too. The Bruins were upset by Columbus 2-1 earlier this month and they'll be looking to get order restored. Look for them to come out with some aggression and try to control the possession, peppering the Blue Jackets net constantly in this one. 

Some trends to note. Bruins are 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Bruins are 23-8 in their last 31 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NHL ML Play

Washington -135

The Capitals (30-11-5) have value laying the price here.

Washington has been as hot as anyone in the NHL recently and they're in a bit of a revenge spot here against Carolina. The Hurricanes have won 2 of 3 this season against them, but overall in recent years they have struggled in Washington. 

The Hurricanes are just 4-11 in the last 15 meetings in Washington as this building has been a house of horror for them. Look for the Capitals to get out early and really put their foot on the gas, as they are at their best when they crash the net.

Some trends to note. Capitals are 37-15 in their last 52 when their opponent allows 2 goals or less in their previous game. Capitals are 12-5 in their last 17 games as a favorite.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NHL ML Play

San Jose Sharks +100

The Sharks (20-22-4) are a move for us on Saturday night when they welcome in the Stars (26-14-4). 

Dallas has started off 2-0 on their west coast swing, but going into San Jose is never an easy task. When you've been in California for a long time and have in the back of your mind that you still have one more stop in Colorado, it can play mind tricks with you. 

Expect the Sharks to utilize their physical play, very similar to what they did last time out against a Columbus team that plays like Dallas. San Jose allows nothing easy at the net and rarely gives teams 2nd or 3rd chances on rebounds. They can smother this Dallas offense and frustrate them all night long.

Back San Jose.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NHL ML Play

Pittsburgh +140

The Penguins (26-12-5) have value at this price here.

Pittsburgh has put together a nice run as of late going 16-6-4 mark in the last 26 games.

Now, they take on the Avalanche (25-15-4) a Central Division opponent, which is right up their alley. The Penguins have gone 20-7 over their last 27 against the Central and they play extremely well against top competition. 

Pittsburgh has won their last 6 against teams with a winning record.

Some trends to note. Penguins are 4-1 in their last 5 Friday games. Penguins are 12-4 in their last 16 overall.

Back Pittsburgh.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NHL ML Play

Dallas -135

Dallas has value laying the small price here.

The Stars come in off a come from behind win over the Kings last night. We backed them at a small price, similar to here, and it paid off as they downed LA 2-1.

Now, they look to make it 6 in a row here and Anaheim is a very ideal opponent for them. 

The Ducks are like the Kings when it comes to playing slow and not having much of an attack. The Stars have the ability to use their speed and fast tempo to throw Anaheim off their game here.

Some trends to consider. Stars are 4-0 in their last 4 games as a favorite. Stars are 4-0 in their last 4 vs. Western Conference.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NHL ML Play

Nashville -134

This is a low price to pay for Nashville on Thursday.

They are in a nice bounce back spot after getting knocked around by the Bruins last time out. 

Chicago is one of the worst defensive teams in the NHL and Nashville can really expose that here. Expect them to pick up the tempo early on here, as Chicago really struggles with teams that like to utilize their speed. 

Combine that with the Blackhawks just 4-10 in the last 14 meetings in this series and we should see a huge edge swing Nashville's way.

Some trends to note. Blackhawks are 4-10 in their last 14 vs. Western Conference.. Predators are 10-3 in their last 13 games following a home loss of 3 or more goals.

Back Nashville.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NHL ML Play

Stars -140

Dallas (24-14-4) has value on the road in Los Angeles (17-23-4) here.

The Kings struggles have been consistent for the most part and they come into this one after a loss to Columbus. Los Angeles got out to an early lead but as the story has been all year for them, they struggled to add on. 

Dallas isn’t the most ideal matchup for them. 

The Stars have won 4 in a row thanks to an aggressive offensive style. They’ve really been attacking the net and pushing the tempo on teams, which will have the Kings on edge all night.

Some trends to note. Dallas are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games, are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games against Los Angeles, are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games when playing on the road against the Kings, and are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games this season. Los Angeles are 2-6 SU in their last 8 games.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* NHL ML Play

Nashville +100 

The Predators (19-15-7) have the value at home here against the Boston Bruins (24-8-11).

Nashville has played well head to head with Boston and they catch them at the right time. Boston has struggled lately on both sides of the puck and now have to deal with a very scrappy Nashville side. 

The Predators have won 5 straight in Nashville against the Bruins and the home team has just dominated this head to head series overall winning 18 of the last 23 meetings. 

With Boston's recent struggles, Nashville can use their physical play and really push the Bruins back, forcing them to work out of their own zone.

Some trends to note. Predators are 5-1 in their last 6 games as a home underdog.Predators are 8-3 in their last 11 Tuesday games.

Back Nashville.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* NHL ML Play

New York Islanders -130

This is a small price to pay for the Islanders here on Tuesday.

New York got it's groove back on Monday with a hard fought 1-0 win over the Avalanche. It wasn't easy, but shutting out one of the best offenses in the NHL is a huge confidence boost for them. 

Now, they come back in a revenge spot here, taking on a team that stopped them Thursday in a 2-1 loss. 

The Islanders have still fared well in this head to head series overall. They have cashed in 20 of the last 28 meetings and are 10-4 in their last 14 in New Jersey. Expect them to come out with some urgency in this one and really attack the net. 

Some trends to note. Islanders are 8-3 in their last 11 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game.Islanders are 5-2 in their last 7 vs. Metropolitan.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NHL ML Play

Los Angeles -110

Fading the Blue Jackets here is a nice move Monday.

Columbus went into Saturday looking to grab 2 huge points against a lowly San Jose team after a big win in Boston. Columbus flopped and the injuries continue to just pile up. 

They kick off a west coast trip in LA, and this is not a good spot for them.

Coming in after a loss has been a struggle for them. Now, traveling across country to take on a scrappy Kings team won’t be easy. 

Some trends to note here. Columbus are 5-11 SU in their last 16 games against Los Angeles, are 5-10 SU in their last 15 games on the road, and are 1-8 SU in their last 9 games when playing on the road against LA.

Expect Los Angeles to control the possession and turn this into a scrappy game.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NHL ML Play

Blackhawks -1.5

Tonight we get the Detroit Red Wings (10-29-3) vs. Chicago Blackhawks (18-18-6). Bernier will be in net for Detroit (3.04GAA) and Crawford is likely in net for the Hawks (3.20 GAA). Last season the Blackhawks swept this series.

Last time these two teams met the Blackhawks won 2-1 (Sept. 2019). The Wings have now lost 7 of their last 8, and their last 3 vs. the Hawks. The Red Wings are averaging 2.3GPG, the Blackhawks 3.6GPG. I'm expecting the Blackhawks to fill the net Sunday night. Chicago have scored 5 goals in 3 of their last 4. Detroit has scored 2 goals or fewer in 5 of the last 6. 

Some trends to consider. Detroit are 1-7 SU in their last 8 games, and are 3-7 in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. Blackhawks are 8-1 in their last 9 vs. Atlantic, and Chicago are 10-3 SU in their last 13 games when playing at home against Detroit.

The Wings won't have enough firepower to keep up. Missing two of their top FW's Mantha and Athanasiou leaves too much pressure on Bertuzzi.

Play the Blackhawks -1.5 on the puckline.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 6* NHL PL Play

Vegas -140

The Golden Knights have been one of the hottest teams in the NHL since Thanksgiving. They welcome in the Blues Saturday and have value at this kind of price.

Vegas has gone 11-4-2 since Thanksgiving and they’re doing it with success on both sides of the puck. 

This is one of the toughest defenses to crack, as they simply do not allow anything easy in their own end. Combine that with their ability to get out and counter and this is just such a dangerous team.

They beat teams with their 2nd and 3rd attempts on net and they’ll look to do that here once again against a Blues team that continues to be struggle.

Some trends to note. Golden Knights are 10-4 in their last 14 games as a favorite.Golden Knights are 7-3 in their last 10 overall.

Back Vegas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NHL ML Play

St. Louis +120

The Blues have value at this price on Thursday night.

They have dominated the Avalanche in recent meetings, which really adds the value in this spot.

St. Louis comes in winners in 23 of the last 31 head to head matchups. Combine that with their 6-2 record in Colorado over the last 8 and plus money is very nice.

The Blues have one of the best defenses in the league and should be able to keep Colorado from controlling the possession. Expect minimal scoring chances for the Avs here on Thursday.

Some trends to note. Blues are 20-6 in their last 26 games as an underdog.Blues are 16-5 in their last 21 Thursday games.

Back St. Louis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NHL ML Play

Chicago +1.5 

The Blackhawks on the PL is a nice move. 

Laying the juice is worth it here as the Blackhawks have really turned a nice corner as of late. Chicago looked as if they were going to have another rebuilding year, but have put together a nice run. 

They've won 4 of their last 5 and are now just 5 points out of a playoff spot.

Combine the hot play from Chicago with the Flames struggles and this is a game Chicago has a chance to keep close and steal on the road.

Some trends to note. Blackhawks are 4-1 in their last 5 overall. Blackhawks are 4-0 in their last 4 games as an underdog.

Back Chicago PL.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
