All five games in the Stanley Cup /finals have eclipsed the Total, and no matter how well the goalies of played 7 or more goals combined have been scored in those games. Im betting nothing changes tonight, as both these tremendous offenses tee of on each other in a key elimination tilt. Edmonton in away or neutral games against good possession teams-averaging 3+ more shots on goal than opp are 10-2 OVER L/12 .

All 4 games in this series between these two teams in the Stanley Cup finals have seen at least 7 combined goals scored . No matter how well these goalies have played the tremendous talent on offense has found ways to score and Im betting nothing changes tonight.

There have been more goals than expected early on this series, but the Kings know to win this series they  need to slow down their opponents with their usually tough D., especially here on the road in Edmonton The Kings allowed the second-fewest goals per game  at (2.48) this season and fewest expected goals per 60 minutes at 5-on-5. On the flispide , Oilers allowed a solid  2.87  and the ninth-fewest xGA/60. Im betting this game sees the beginning of a tighter type of play off hockey as both  two teams are more than likely to exhibit D first mentalities going forward.  LAK off a home blowout win by 3 goals or more have gone under in 12 of 17 overall. LAK in a road game where where the total is 6 or more have gone under in 8 of 11. Oilers against good defensive teams - opponents average 26.5 or better shots on goal have gone under in 9 of their L/12.

Dallas is off a late collapse last time out giving up 3 late goals (final min) and losing 6-5 in OT, you can now bet on a more concerted defensive effort after that embarrassment.  Also more motivation comes from the fact that they  are    four points behind Winnipeg  for the top spot in the Central Division and desperately need a victory in regulation to have a chance at catching the Jets. Im betting this wil be like a play off style game, played tight and conservatively which projects for a lower scoring affair. 
  These teams have gone under seven straight times in bead to head battles.   The Jets have gone under in 17 of their L/21  this season when facing a division opponent.

With the Islanders season slipping away after four straight losses  Im betting on some aggressive hockey from therm tonite,.With the Bruins, missing their two top two defensemen (Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm) the Islanders should find the back of the net consistently this evening.Meanwhile, the Bruins after two straight OT losses will also be very aggressive offensively as they look to ice a game in regulation. The last six meetings have all eclipsed this offering with  (9, 9, 6, 9, 7 , 8) goals respectively  getting scored. NHL Home teams where the total is 6 or more - poor team - outscored by their opponents by 0.3+ goals/game - 2nd half of the season, after allowing 5 goals or more are 120-60 OVER since 2021 with a combined average of 7 gpg scored in those tilts.

 These teams have combined for six or more goals in both matchups this season and 11 of their 13 meetings overall and Im betting on a rinse and repeat situation here this evening. 

 Backup goalies are slated  tonight to start with the Jackets placing  Daniil Tarasov  between the pipes and the Flyers putting Ivan Fedotov in net. Considering the outcomes of both  meetings this season where a  combined eight and nine goals went on the board and from a long term perspective , where eight of the last 10 meetings  between these sides have seen  seven total goals or more go on the board, an over wager here makes sense.

Play over

These teams the  Lightning and Penguins are in a back-to-back situation and  and are in a  three games in four day situation as well. tired legs do not bode well for good defensive hockey and Im betting that will give us an edge with a over bet. NHL Home teams like the Penguins where the total is 6 or more - struggling team - outscored by their opponents by 0.5+ goals/game - 2nd half of the season, after allowing 5 goals or more are 93-47 OVER since 2021 with a combined average of 7.1 gpg scored.

Thirteen of the last 17 Leafs away tilts have featured six goals or more. Nine of the last 11 games in this series  have seen seven goals or more.

The Canucks don't seem to be a well conditioned team and  have yet to win a game on the second half of back-to-backs this season losing all 3 attempts while allowing 5, 5,3 goals respectively.  The Canucks offense despite being banged up plays an aggressive game plan, and should also reciprocate with enough goals for this game to eclipse the total.Nashville beat the Canucks  back in November, scoring four goals  and then adding an empty netter in a 5-3 victory and Im betting on a similar score here this evening and a combined score that eclipses the totals offering. Rick Tocchet road games when playing their 3rd game in 4 days are 6-0 over with a combined average  7.5 gpg scored.

Five of the last six and seven of the L/10 tilts have had a combined seven goals or more scored. Nine of the last 10  meetings have had at least six combined goals. Three of the last six meetings have needed to be settled in extra time.

Eight of the last nine meetings in this series  have seen a combined nine or more goals go on the board. Concerning Pittsburgh,Tristan Jarry will get the start tonight as he gets called up from the minors. In his three games this season before going to the AHL he recorded a  1-1 record along  with a 5.47 GAA and an.836 save percentage. After getting shut out last time out, the Red Wings Im betting will be alot more aggressive and produce a decent amount of production here, with the Pens keeping pace .Mike Sullivan in home games against poor offensive teams - scoring 2.55 goals or less a game have score an average of 4.2 gpg and a combined average of 6.5 gpg.

The Avalanche now on a 5 game win streak to continue their winning way vs a  Blackhawks side that they  have had a great deal of success vs in the recent past .  Colorado has won four of the last five in this series vs Chicago with 4 of the games resulting in shutouts . The Blackhawks have lost six straight visits to  Colorado, and were shut out in 4 of those tilts. Considering how badly the  Blackhawks  offense has struggled this season , putting goals on the board here should be difficult according to my projections.  Note: The Blackhawks have scored two goals or less in six of their seven losses this season.

The Avalanche scored four or more goals in their last six victories versus the Senators. Nine of the last 10 and 17 of the last 20 meetings have gone over the offered  total and 14 of those games have had a combined seven goals go on the scoreboard. Im projecting at least 7 goals going on the board today.

The Rangers and Panthers’ last 19 regular season meetings have had a combined six goals or more scored and my projections estimate at least 6 goals going on the board tonight. Note: PAUL MAURICE in away or neutral games after allowing 3 goals or more 4 straight games has seen a combined average of 6.4 gpg scored. (spanning a 13 game sample size)The Blueshirts have scored four or more in all six games this season, rince and repeat if your considering a over bet on a team total to go along with this game total.

LATE STEAM - OVER

The Sabres were held to a single goal in each of their first three tilts but finally broke through offensively. It is however, obvious that this team is not built for explosive offensive efforts and are and will be a more defensive minded team this season, and here against a talented Pens offense will play a conservative game plan, which Im betting leads to a lower scoring affair.

Buffalo games after playing 2 consecutive home games have gone under 16 of theL/20  with a combined average of 4.9 gpg scored. 

Play under

In the one game in this series played in Seattle last season the Blues won 4-3. Im betting on a similar outcome and close game here today in a score that projects to at least hit the 6 goal plateau. Saint Louis games in a road game where where the total is 5.5 have gone over 8 straight times dating back to last season with a combined average of 8.2 gpg scored.

  Florida goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky has been in top form in  this series vs NYR. Bobrovsky has a record of  11-5 this postseason with a .915 SV% and 2.37 GAA and has  allowed two or fewer goals in 12 of those 16 trips to the ice. Bobrovsky also owns a  .917 SV% over the past seven meetings against the Rangers a team that has failed to get very many high chance opportunities (60 min 5x5) ranking 12th out of the 16 post season teams. Meanwhile, going into the last game the Panthers  were generating the most shots on goal, averaging about 32.8 per game, but  have has  problems converting - scoring just 2.75 goals per game thanks in great part to how well Rangers Russian super star goalie is playing ( Shesterkin). With that said, Im betting on more low scoring action as both goalies project to continue to shine. 

Play on the UNDER 

The first two games of this series were grinding defensive games, with both tilts staying on the low sie of the number. Dallas is not going to win this series in wide open fashion against the explosive Oilers, and Im betting on their game plan once again being very conservative and to play this  game in restrained and disciplined  transitory fashion. This Im betting leads to another lower scoring affair that fails to eclipse this total.DALLAS is 8-1 UNDER  in road games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 75%) this season with the combined average of 4.5 gpg scored. On the fliside the Oilers can also be physical and defensive minded and Im betting the Stars will aso be bound into a very limited opportunity to score. Edmonton has not eclipsed the Total in 6 straight and have allowed 1 goal in 4 of those games. 

Play under

. Both offenses are playing extremely well ,while both goaltenders are struggling vs explosive tick tack toe play with 11 goals scored in game 1 and 9 goals scored in game 2.

Note:Kings goalie Cam Talbot,  has now allowed three or more goals in eight of his last 10 starts dating back to the regular season. Talbot has garnered a ugly .883 SV% and 3.36 GAA over that time

Oilers golatender Skinner Dating back to the regular season  owns a  1-2 record  and nasty looking  .829 SV% and 5.49 GAA. Hes backed by a D, that looks in disarray at times which is reflected in thier 12th ranled Expected Goals Against per 60 minutes (xGA/60) at 5-on-5. ( 
that points to offense that is slow or lazy in transition.

Game one saw the Isles lose 3-1 with one of the goals they gave up being an empty netter.

Also the goaltending tandem of Sorokin and Varlamov are also considered to be a top tier pair of puck stoppers.

CAROLINA is 21-4 UNDER   against excellent power play teams - scoring on 19% or better  of their chances in the 2nd half of the year this season with a combined average of 5 gpg scored.

Chicago has allowed 4, 5,5 goals in their L/3 trips to the ice and Im betting nothing changes today vs the Carolina Canes. With nothing left to play for Im betting the Blackhawks being very loose and  aggressive offensively vs the Canes, with little tp no forechecking , and for the Canes to very likely over looking their opponents which could lead to a bigger output by the home side than the linesmakers anticipate. CHICAGO is 6-0 OVER in home games after a blowout loss by 4 goals or more in their previous game this season with a combined average of 7.2 gog scored.

Meanwhile, Montreal has allowed 4.4 gpg with those games seeing a combined average of 7 gpg scored. Considering both sides lack of efficient defensive play Im betting on both sides to go above their season average offensive ouptut in a game I have projected to go over the total.( both sides are estimated to score 3 + goals)

Note: I know Boston has strong goaltending but, Tampa Bay can light up the best of Goalies, and with the Bruins taking the 5th most penalties in the NHL the Bolts will Im betting get some opportunities to score. behind a power play at that converts  30% of its opportunities. Also Tampa Bays expected starter Andrei Vasilevskiy still at less than 100% after back surgery  and the Bruins behind a power play that converts at a 25.1 % rate will also bury some biscuits, .

Vancouver was shut out last time vs Boston, and have only scored more than 3 goals 1 time in their L/5.

For example The Sharks have allowed an average of 4.7 gpg in 15 division matches this season , while the Kraken have allowed an  average  3 goals per game on 31.4 shots per game.

The two most recent meetings here in Bean-town has stayed under, and another low scoring affair is now on deck.

Dallas beat Minnesota 4-0 on Jan 8 in the land of lakes, and now the rematch takes place in Texas. This will be both sides 3rd game in 5 nights, and Im betting they are both on tired legs and not in any shape for a wide open affair which will result in a a projected lower scoring affair.

Vancouver is the highest scoring team in the NHL, and the Isles have exhibited some bad defensive habits of late as they open up their offense and play looser  more wide open hockey. This according to my projections makes for what Im betting will be a higher scoring affair.

My projections estimate both sides will score 3 goals or more: VANCOUVER is 15-0 OVER   when both teams score 3 or more goals this season with a combined average of 8 ppg going on the scoreboard. NY ISLANDERS are 19-0 OVER ( when both teams score 3 or more goals this season with a combined average of 8.3 gpg scored.

Meanwhile, the Rangers offense continues to uptrend and have averaged 3.6 gpg game, with a combined average of 6.6 gpg scored in their L/5. They Rangers are off a down effort last time only scoring 1 goal in a 6-1 loss at home to Carolina and will be in a big bounce mode tonight and will have little mercy here in their approach to this game which for me projects to be a big scoring output. Note: The Rangers have gone over in 6 of their L/7 with one push.

Winnipeg blitzed Atlantic Division-leading Boston 5-1 and Im betting they light up the board again, which will help propel this combined score over the set  Totals offering. Note: Winnipeg has scored 5 or more goals in 4 of their L/5 trips to the ice. Chicago has allowed 4.71 GPG in their L/7 overall while allowing 7 goal outputs by their opponents twice during that span. Im betting the Jets are good for 5 or 6 goals here, which by itself puts us in a position to cash this ticket , even if the Hawks struggle to score.

CHICAGO is 22-10 OVER   against top caliber teams - outscoring opponents by 0.65+ goals/game over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 6.6 gpg scored.

Winnipeg has allowed more than 3 goals only twice in their L/11 games overall and have not allowed more than 3 goals in any of those tilts and Im betting nothing changes tonight against the visiting Boston Bruins. Meanwhile, the Bruins have only allowed more than 3 goals one time in their L/9 trips to the ice, and Im betting their current brand of top defensive play will continue tonight against a opponent Im sure they will be paying special attention to in transition. Both games between these sides last season stayed under the total.

WINNIPEG is 7-0 UNDER  off a home win by 2 goals or more this season with a combined average of 4.8 ppg scored.( Jets beat the Wings 5-2 last time out)

NHL Road teams against the total (BOSTON) - off 2 or more consecutive home losses, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 70%) are 28-6 UNDER L/27 seasons for a 83% conversion rate for bettors.

Only twice has Seattle scored more than 3 goals in a game and here tonight against a top tier D that is owned by the LA Kings more offensive flow problems will be on the agenda. The Kings allow an average of 2.4 gog and only score an average of 3.2 gpg at home, and against division opposition have allowed an average of just 2 gpg. Everything points to a a very low scoring divisional affair.SEATTLE is 18-7 UNDER ( in road games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 75%) over the last 2 seasons.

NHL Home teams where the total is 6 or more (LOS ANGELES) - good defensive team - opponents average 26.5 or less shots on goal are 273-183 UNDER L/27 seasons for a 60% conversion rate for bettors.

The Capitals' average of 2.39 goals per game this season which is only slightly  better than only the San Jose Sharks and Chicago Blackhawks. However, they continue to get decent result because they also have strong goaltending and D. Tonight against a Islanders team that has been playing more wide open hockey of late I expect the Capitals to be even more focused in transition which Im betting results in a another low scoring event for the Caps. Four of the L/5 meetings in this series have not eclipsed the 6 goal plateau.WASHINGTON is 18-9 UNDER  in all games this season with a combined average of 5.4 gog scored. 

Play under

Winnipeg's success this season is based on a top tier brand of defensive hockey  that has allowed an average of just 2.6 gpg. In their L/12 trips to the golden pond they have not allowed more than 3 goals and Im betting nothing changes tonight in what my projections estimate  should be a tight transitional game vs the Detroit Red Wings that has only score more than 3 goals once in their L/6 games.

WINNIPEG is 9-3 UNDER  when playing against a team with a losing record this season.WINNIPEG is 5-0 UNDER  after having won 6 or 7 of their last 8 games this season.

Before going 2 for 5 on the pp, last time out in a 4-2 win vs  Arizona Pittsburgh had been in an 0-for-37 power-play drought over 13-plus games with a man-advantage. Meanwhile, the Habs who are off a 2-1 loss last time out went 0-5 for 5 on the power play in that game. Both sides are obviously struggling on the pp, and overall they have both been less than consistent with Les Canadiens averaging just 2.4 gpg in offense in their L/5 while the Pens have averaged 2 gpg over the same span. Im betting on more power play struggles tonight and for both offenses to continue to find less flow.PITTSBURGH is 17-8 UNDER in all games this season with a combined average of 5.5 gpg scored.PITTSBURGH is 10-4 UNDER  in a road game where where the total is 6 or more this season.PITTSBURGH is 13-6 UNDER against mistake free teams - opponents average 4 or less  power plays/game this season with a combined average of 5.7 gog going on the board. The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Pittsburgh's last 5 games on the roadThe total has gone UNDER in 7 of Montreal's last 9 games.

Florida had gone 11 straight games without allowing more than 3 goals and than last time out allowed 4 goals, but now Im betting they get back into their strong defensive groove vs a strong offensive Dallas unit. Panthers starting goalie Sergei Bobrovsky owns a a 2.41 goals-against average this season , and will be key to this being a lower scoring affair.

Advantage under. 

FLORIDA is 5-0 UNDER versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 0.5+ goals/game this season with a combined average of 3.4 gpg scored. FLORIDA is 8-1 UNDER  against explosive offensive teams - scoring 3+ goals/game this season with a combined average of 3.9 gpg scored.

 GOALTENDERS: ST LOUIS - JORDAN BINNINGTON, ARIZONA - KAREL VEJMELKA

The Coyotes have only scored  three more than 3 goals in 3 of  their L/11 overall and against a St.Louis team that allows an average of just over 3 gpg on the road this season Im betting they stay within their usual fairly low scoring parameters. Yes, the Coyotes started fast offensively this season, but now they are in full regression mode. Also the last time these teams met a 6-5 score went on the board, but both sides will be more weary here in the rematch.

ST LOUIS is 8-1 UNDER after allowing 4 goals or more this season. (St.Louis scored a 6-4 victory last time out and offensive regression and a better defensive effort is a projected expectation) Goaltender Jordan Binnington made 42 saves to earn the victory, but the Blues know they need to give him more help and this will be key here this evening.

Under is 11-5-2 in Blues last 18 vs. Western Conference.Under is 5-2-1 in Blues last 8 overall.

The Stars generally play a tight defensive system that has seen them allow more than 3 goals just two times in their L/11 games overall. One of those 2 games saw Calgary score 7 goals in a loss, and here today in the rematch Im betting on a more concerted defensive effort from the Stars in a game that points towards a much lower scoring affair. DALLAS is 6-0 UNDER  in road games revenging a home loss versus opponent of 2 goals or more over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 4.4 gpg scored.

NHL Road teams against the total (DALLAS) - revenging a loss versus opponent as a favorite, off a road win where they shut out their opponent are 31-9 UNDER L/26 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors with the average combined score clicking in at 4.6 gpg.

Florida enters this game on tired legs , and have had a hard time converting on offense.   They take alot of shots but with a very low success rate  of  8.6 percent  ranks near the bottom of the league. Im betting their woes continue tonight against the Habs. On the flioside the Panthers D ,  and  strong play of goaltenders Sergei Bobrovsky and Anthony Stolarz and a red hot stopping penalty-kill unit which is a perfect  20-for-20 on penalty kills over the past five games and 43-for-48 on the kill over the past 16 games makes this contest vs Montreal a tilt that has a viable chance at staying under the total. Note: FLORIDA is 9-3 UNDER  against excellent power play teams- scoring on 17.5% or better  of their chances this season like the Canadiens. FLORIDA is 6-0 UNDER  vs. division opponents this season with a combined average of 3.8 opg scored.

The Islanders are well rested and will have fresh legs here tonight against the Flyers.There has been pressure on HC Lane Lambert to be more aggressive offensively and thats what Im betting will trigger a high scoring affair than the lines-makers anticipate. 

Isles have allowed 4 ore more goals in 8 straight games. With the flyers currently hitting on all cylinders Im betting that current run of allowing 4 or more goals will continue and force the Isles into opening up.

 The Blues have won five their last  six games  while outscoring opponents 27-12 and have scored 13 goals in their L/2 and Im betting on another top tier offensive output here as they are flowing well in offensive zone. Meanwhile, San Jose currently on a 0-3 run while allowing 14 combined goals in that span look vulnerable to being litup again in what Im betting will see a combined score that eclipses this offered total.

Colorado looked tired in a 4-0 loss last time out  at Pittsburgh and with the team now playing their 6th road game in the 8 games they have played so far, Im betting they wont have the legs needed to get into a back forth all out attack mode game plan, and will instead concentrate on playing solid transitional hockey. Im also betting getting back to playing  solid D, will be on the agenda for the Avs after allowing 4 goals in 3 straight games after starting their season, allowing 2 goals or less in their first 4 trips to the ice. I know Buffalo has looked to be an aggressive offensive team, but that will be even more of a reason for the Avs to be careful here, and that in itself has me leaning strongly in favor of a low scoring affair.

My own projections estimate this total to be closer to 7 which gives us an edge to the over on the 6.5 totals offering. Florida has consistently put the puck in the net scoring 4,4, 3,3,3 goals in their L/5 and Im betting on a +3 out put tonight as they will be ready to skate after a 3 day rest. Meanwhile, Seattle despite of low overall offensive goal production have shown flashes of the offense getting untracked as they have score 7 and 5 goals in 2 of their L/4 overall and I project a 3+ production in this tilt vs a side that will be prepared to open things up tonight on fresh legs.

Calgary has started their season on a 5 game road trip and enter this tilt playing their 3rd game in 4 nights . Here in the exhausting finale to their current trek Im betting they will  have the legs    needed to play wide open back and forth hockey and will instead revert to a more defensive mind set which is not uncommon for this team .   Meanwhile, the Red Wings are in a  back to back situation so they will also be on tired legs and not prepared to play speedy hockey here tonight and this combination will see a slower more type of game plan implemented by these sides which will result in a lower scoring affair that does not eclipse this total.

Meanwhile, Carolina has also played top tier D in this season play offs , allowing the second-fewest goals per game (2.55)  in the post season which was a continuation of a top tier defensive effort during the regular season where they garnered a stingy 2.56 GAA. It must also be noted that  Goalie Frederik Andersen has been in top form  for the Hurricanes garnering a .931 SVP in his last 5 appearances.

CAROLINA is 30-18 UNDER in home games against good offensive teams - averaging 29.5+ shots on goal per game in the 2nd half of the year over the last 2 seasons.

FLORIDA is 18-6 UNDER when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 75%) this season.

These teams played under this total in2 of 3 meetings this season and Im betting on a risne repeat situation tonight.

Play on the under 

Vegas has scored 4 goals or more in 5 straight games, while Edmonton has scored 4 goals or more in 5 of their L/6 . My projections estimate 7 plus combined goals will be scored in this matchup tonight with each teams scoring 3+ goals.

Play over

All 4 games between these teams this season eclipsed this Totals offering from the books, and Im betting nothing changes tonight. Edmonton usually plays a one way style of offensive hockey behind an explosive lineup and the Vegas Knights will have to reciprocate with some offensive fireworks of their own or proverbially be  blown off the ice. EDMONTON is 5-0 OVER in road games after 3 straight games where both teams scored 3 goals or more this season with a combined average of 8.8 gpg scored.EDMONTON is 20-9 OVER ( against poor defensive teams - 29 or more  shots on goal, convert 17%  or better pp in the 2nd half of the year this season with a combined average of 7.6 gpg scored.EDMONTON is 23-10 OVER  against explosive offensive teams - scoring 3+ goals/game - 2nd half of the season this season with a combined average of 7.6 gpg scored.

Play on the OVER

These two teams have gone over in their L/4 meetings and Im betting nothing changes in this tilt. The Lightning’s 4.00 home goals per game lead the NHL during the regular season and Im betting we see them let it all hang out here in Toronto tonight with their season on the line. The Leafs Im betting will be forced into reciprocating with some run and gun action themselves which will lead to a combined score that eclipses this total.

TAMPA BAY is 25-9 OVER   against good offensive teams - averaging 29.5+ shots on goal per game in the 2nd half of the year this season with a combined average of 7.2 gpg scored. TAMPA BAY is 8-2 OVER in April games this season with a combined average of 7.9 gpg scored.

Play Over

The last two periods of game 3 of this series that saw tighter defensive hockey played may have some leaning on what could now be a more defensive type of series going forward. However, the truth is both these offenses are explosive and had plenty of chances to score, even though the game was alot tighter after the 4 goal combined outburst in the first period.  Im betting on more high flying entertaining hockey here tonight, and for the Bolts to be more aggressive as they seemed to try to go into a defense bubble late against a lethal offense with dire consequences as they lost 4-3 in OT. I cant see that happening again. Advantage over. 

TORONTO is 31-19 OVER  against good passing teams - averaging 5 or more assists per game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 7.7 gpg scored. TORONTO is 25-11 OVER against good teams - outscoring their opponents by 0.3+ goals/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 7.1 gpg scored.

The Leafs bounced back from a 7-3 loss in game one and took game 2 by a 7-2 count. Im now betting on both sides continuing their aggressive offensive play in what my projections estimate will be a barn burner of an affair. 

TORONTO is 15-6 OVER after scoring 6 goals or more in their previous game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 7.3 gpg scored. TORONTO is 19-8 OVER  vs. division opponents over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 7.8 gpg scored.

Toronto was caught flat footed to begin their post season and lost game one to the Tampa Bay Bolts by a 7-3 count. While I doubt the Lightning will put 7 goals on the board here in the 2nd game of this series I still believe on their current form they will hit 3 or more goals. On the flip-side, TB ha been mediocre defensively for much of this season, and now betting on more aggressive offensive posture from the Buds in rebound mode which will help us eclipse this total. 

It must be noted that 11 of 15 games in this series have gone OVER THE TOTAL over the last 3 seasons.

TORONTO is 23-11 OVER  against good teams - outscoring their opponents by 0.3+ goals/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 7 gpg scored.

Isles Im betting will continue to play a conservative style of defensive hockey, and force Carolina into the same type of transitional hockey, which Im betting results in a combined score that remains on the low side of the offered total. CAROLINA is 10-2 UNDER  in home games against good starting goalies - (saving  91.5% or more of shots against) in the 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 4 gpg scored. (NYI G Sirokin qualifies)CAROLINA is 10-2 UNDER  in home games after allowing 1 goal or less in their previous game this season.(Game one resulted in. aCarolina 2-1 victory).

These teams will not be in the post season, and Im betting on this being a loose run and gun tilt that sees very little attention paid to solid  defensive transitional hockey. Edge to the over. 

Im projecting both sides score 3+ goals.

Play over

The Tampa Bay Bolts have a play off spot wrapped up and right now they are more interested in staying healthy than garnering wins as post season play approaches. What Im betting the Bolts are interested in, however, is to be more conservative in transition, and to focus more on good defensive fundamentals after allowing 6 goals in two straight games. Because of this Im expecting a concerted effort on D from the Lightning and for a Ottawa side that has not scored more than 3 goals in 4 straight and 7 of their L/10 to struggle to score goals. This combination will Im betting result in a combined score that remains on the low side of the total.

TAMPA BAY is 12-4 UNDER  in road games after failing to cover 2 of their last 3 against the spread over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 5.3 gg going on the scoreboard.

Nashville has played strong defense of late allowing 3 goals or less in  6 of their L/7 games overall and after a 6-1 blowout win vs the Blues last time out Im now betting their top tier defensive posture continues and for them to regress offensively here today vs Dallas which will give us an edge on a under bet cashing. Note: NASHVILLE is 9-0 UNDER  in road games off a win by 3 goals or more over a division rival over the last 2 seasons.NASHVILLE is 8-1 UNDER off a blowout win by 4 goals or more over a division rival over the last 3 seasons. Under is 8-3 in Stars last 11 when their opponent scores 5 goals or more in their previous game

The Rangers have not allowed more than 3 goals in game in 12 straight games, and Im betting that  those strong defensive numbers remain intact tonight vs a Sabres side that has not scored more than 3 goals in 5 of their L/6 trips to the ice. The last time these teams played the Rangers won a tightly contested 2-1 contest and according to my projections another lower scoring tilt must be expected. Note : The L/2 meetings here in Buffalo were 2-1 results favoring the Rangers.

Blues have average 6 gpg in 3 straight and enter into this tilt with offensive momentum against a sub par defensive side that has allowed 4.4 gpg in their L/5 trips to the ice. Im betting on the Blues lighting up the Blackhawks in this one and to continue their current onslaught. Meanwhile, the Blues in wide open fashion have allowed 12 goals in their L/2 games and 3 goals or more in 5 straight and Im betting that the fast asleep Blackhawks find holes that are not always available to them  which makes this a viable over wager.

Florida has allowed 4 or more goals in 6 of their L/8 and 5 goals or more in 5 of those games. Needless to say it is the  lack of solid D, and top tier goaltending that has seen them lose four straight games and tonight against the capable offense of the Leafs Im betting they get lit up again in what Im betting will end up in a high scoring game. Note:  Leafs have seen an average of 7.8 gpg go on the board in their L/5 trips to the ice. When these teams played in Florida on March 23rd the Leafs took a 6-2 victory. Im projecting  a +8 combined output today.

Tuesday is the final stop of the Jets' three-game road trip against California teams and on tired legs Im betting they are  not prepared to skate and gun, and instead I expect they will lean on good defensive play and top tier goaltending to get the job done. This will in effect keep scoring to a marginal amount. Also the Jets have not scored more than 3 goals in their L/8 games and in 10 of their L/11 overall. So paying attention in transition is obviously key for the Jets here tonight on the road. Under is 21-5 in Jets last 26 road games. Under is 8-3-1 in Sharks last 12 vs. a team with a winning record.

In their L/10 games the LA Kings have only allowed more than 2 goals one time and my projections estimate another top tier defensive effort here by what has suddenly become a solid goaltending group since the team parted ways with Johnathon Quick. Yes, I know the Blues have doing well offensively of late, but that will make the Kings even more disciplined in transition. Meanwhile, visiting St.Louis has not allowed more than 3 goals in 5 straight and now on tired legs as they play their 4th game in 6 nights Im expecting a more tempered and conservative effort here vs a team they know could light them up quickly.  

ST LOUIS is 13-4 UNDER  in road games revenging a loss vs opponent as a road favorite over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 5.3 gpg scored. (LA beat the Blues the las time they met on March 4th by a 4-2 count)

Pittsburgh offense has really stuttered of late as is evident by averaging just 2 gpg in their L/5 trips to the ice. On the season the Pens have averaged just 2.9 gg and Im betting they once again have problems scoring vs the Avs in this spot play. Meanwhile, Colorado is on a 6 game win streak allowing 2 goals or less in 4 of those 6 tilts. It must be noted that in their L/meeting back on 2/7/2023 the Pens squeezed out a 2-1 win and considering both sides current form another lower scoring affair is to be expected. COLORADO is 13-4 UNDER  revenging a same season loss vs opponent this season with an averge of 5.1 gpg scored.

The Ottawa Senators D, has collapsed recently as is evident by having allowed an average of 5 gpg in their L/ 5 trips to the ice.

Meanwhile, the Avs offense has been mostly proficient recently scoring 4 or more goals in 7 of their L/13 overall and have averaged 4.2 gpg in their L/5 games.  Colorado has really ratchet up their shots on goal to, which sets up this strong trend.COLORADO is 15-5 OVER  after 3 straight games with 8+ more shots on goal than opponents over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 7.2 gpg scored.

The Dallas offense is rolling having scored 4 goals or more in 7 straight games. Their style of hockey as morphed from a defensive mind set into a more wide open brand of hockey which has resulted in some high scoring affairs.  Note: Over is 6-0-1 in Stars last 7 overall. 

Now Im betting nothing changes tonight vs a sub par defensive/goal tending  side the Seattle Kraken, that has allowed 4 or more goals in 6 of their L/10 while also scoring 4 or more in 6 of their L/10 overall trips to the ice. Over is 5-1-1 in Kraken last 7 home games.

These teams in the recent past have take  part in High-scoring tilts  as is evident by the fact that  six or more total goals have been  scored in 12 of their last 16 meetings. Recently  Vegas  has scored 4 or more goals in in four of their L/5  wins and Im betting they get on the scoreboard in a big way here tonight against a  Blues side that has seen six or more total goals scored in each of their L/6 games, thanks in part to their struggling goal tending that has seen Bennington procure a ugly .894 save percentage (SV%) and 3.31 goals against average (GAA). Add to that the Kngihts are expected to start a inexperienced goalie tonight ( Jiri Patera ) we could see a much higher score than the the linesmakers offering suggests.

Dallas has been playing some high scoring games of late, with a combined average of 8.2 gpg scored. Meanwhile, Buffalo has allowed 3 or more goals in 7 of their L/8 games, thanks to shoddy goaltending at times and to conservative of a stance as they push for a wild card spot. Their lack of aggressiveness has cost them, as was the case last time out in a 3-2 loss to the Isles and now Im betting with their play off hopes fading they will play more wide open hockey which should lead to higher scoring affairs.

The Flyers have allowed an average of 5 gpg in their L/7 trips to the ice and Im betting the newly improved and well rested  offense of the Rangers will be prepared to light the Flyers  up again much like they did back in December of this season by a 6-3 count.  On the flipside look for the Flyers to have to open up or being blown off the ice which will help the combined score eclipse this offered total.

 NHL Home teams against the total (PHILADELPHIA) - revenging a home loss versus opponent of 2 goals or more, a bad team, winning 30% to 40% of their games on the season in the second half of the season are 22-5 OVER L/5 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors.

Edmonton on most nights especially at home play a one way style of hockey, that features probably the most explosive offense in the league led by  super star McDavid. Unfortunately for them their weakest links come on defense and in goal and teams like the Bruins will make them pay dearly for their Swiss cheese D and poor transitional play . Because of the above scenario Im betting this game ends up being one that eclipses this total. 

EDMONTON is 20-8 OVER in a home game where the total is 6 or more this season with a combined average of 7.1 gpg . 

EDMONTON is 11-1 OVER  against good offensive teams - scoring 2.85+ goals/game - 2nd half of the season this season with a combined average of 8.2 gpg scored.

The Ducks are in the midst of a six-game losing streak in which they've been outscored 36-15 allowing 6.00 GAA  during that span in wide open hockey. Im betting on another all out affair as the team knows its not a play off team. I know Washington is banged up, but there is still enough talent here to do some offensive damage against a defensively regressing side.
