 Philadelphia has dropped eight straight road contests, and I expect things dont get better for them tonight, as Anaheim should be expected do some offensive damage and wont be surprised if they eclipse this number all by themselves.  The Flyers played last night,  and have gone Over at a  9-2-1 rate in Flyers last 12 games playing on 0 days rest. It must also be noted that the Over is 14-4-3 in Flyers last 21 vs. a team with a winning record.Over is 29-12-3 in Flyers last 44 road games.Over is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Anaheim.

Jets play a tough conservative defensive game, and even more so on the road where they have stayed under in 8 of their L/10 away. Under is also 6-1 in Jets last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record like the Bruins own.Under is 4-0 in Bruins last 4 home games.Under is 4-0-1 in the last 5 meetings.

The Blues are playing their fourth road game in the L/6 days and are now on tired legs. Im betting on them being very tight and deliberate in their play tonight, while their hosts the Winnipeg Jets continue to follow their usual disciplined defensive script and game plan. It must be noted Winnipeg looked exhausted in the third period of its loss to the Red Wings, and coach Paul Maurice said  that fatigue played a major factor, as that was his teams 15th game in a 28 day period. Neither teams has the legs to make to a end to end type game, and both sides dont really play that type of hockey. With that said, strategy, golatending and defense will take center stage as will a lower scoring affair that fails to eclipse the total. 

Under is 2-0-2 in Blues last 4 road games.Under is 7-1-1 in Jets last 9 vs. Western Conference.

Winnipeg  is one of only two teams in the league averaging fewer than two goals per game (1.80), so it comes as little surprise that its power play continues to struggle and ranks 28th.Winnipegs saving grace has been their defense and they have not allowed more than three regulation goals in a 12  tilts. New Jersey also struggles to score consistently and the power play has also been a concern, scoring just 1 time in their L/21 opportunities. With the Jets on tired legs after 5 consecutive road games, Im betting they will play very tight and slow tonight, which will aid in this contest staying under the total.

Two defensive minded teams the Jets and the Preds go head to head in what should be a tight  defensive affair. The men from Winnipeg have gone under 12 of their L/16 this season, and Nashville has gone under in 12 of their 15 tilts. The Jets have surrendered 10 regulation goals in their L/8 contests. Meanwhile, in their 25 games this season, the Predators have allowed more than 3 goals just twice. These teams have gone under in 6 of the L/7 meetings and Im betting on one more here this evening.

 Winnipegs  Pavelec is 3-0-1 with a 1.27 GAA and .959 SV% in three November starts. Tonight he  is expected to get the call in Montreal—he has gone 4-1-1 with a 1.70 GAA and .941 SV% away from the MTS Centre.Pavelec's only two losses in the past seven starts have come in a shootout and he is sporting a 1.98 GAA and .928 save percentage Meanwhile, Montreals puck stopper Price has allowed a total of 15 goals in 8 starts for a 1.87 GAA vs Winnipeg since the franchise moved from Atlanta including 2 shut outs. Im looking for goaltender duel, and a tight defensive affair.

It must be noted that Montreal has failed  on 19 straight power plays while Winnipeg has killed off 18-of-19 penalties in the past six games, this current trend will also help this game on the low side of the number.

Under is 4-0 in Jets last 4 road games.Under is 3-1-2 in Canadiens last 6 home games.

Toronto hasn't had any problems of late finding the back of the net, scoring 14 goals in three of its  last four contests. Chicago started slowly on offense this year but put 5 goals in the twine last time out, and as we all know when the explosive Blackhawks get rolling their hard to stop. These teams have a recent history of high scoring games with only 1 of their L/11 staying under the Total.

 Two western conference contenders who can score and play great defense will go head to head tonight. It seems their defenses have been the key important comptent to both teams early season successes.  The Ducks have seen 5 straight games remain on the low side of the total, while the Blackhawks are 5-0-1 on the under in their L/6. In the recent past both these teams have played grueling defensive battles against each other, and considering their current forms , another low scoring confrontation should be expected. ( 8 of the L/9 meetings have remained on the low side of the number).

Minnesota plays a defensive brand of hockey, and have gone under in 7 straight games, and have stayed under in 4 of their L/5 at home. The Wild have also only gone over the total in 7 of their L/25 against a team with a winning road record of .600 or better like Tampa Bay. Meanwhile, now playing their 4th game in 6 nights, will not be in a free skating mood, and will play Im betting a more conservative style game on tired legs. The Lightning have gone under  4 straight times in these 4-6 situations and have gone under 4 straight times after playing the night before.

The Islanders have a boatload full of offensive talent now on board, lead by all star John Tavares.  The young Isles might not have names many periphery fans recognize, but guys like Okposo, Strome, Neilson, Nelson, are stars in the making, and pack a punch vs shoddy defenses. Tonight, they face a Toronto Team, that despite of a defensive mind set, behind HC Carlyle, are as leaky as the Titanic, and over rated in goal. The Isles, will Im betting do damage tonight. Meanwhile, the Isles while offensively gifted, still have a few blueline problems despite of off season upgrades, and the penaty kill has also been a problematic with the injured Grabner out of the lineup. Considering these factors Im recommedning we take the OVER in this spot. Final notes & key Trends:

Over is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in New York.Over is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings.Over is 16-5 in Islanders last 21 home games.Over is 6-1 in Maple Leafs last 7 vs. a team with a winning record.New York is the highest scoring team in the league at 4.0 goals per game.New York has the worst penalty killing in the league 58.8%.

The Boston Bruins have scored  just four goals this season and lost  2-1 on the road to these same Detroit Red Wings last week. Boston  has lost their last three games by  2-1 counts. I dont expect the Bruins to score many tonight vs a goalie Jimmy Howard  who owns a  a 5-1-0 mark with a 1.97 goals-against average in six career regular-season starts vs the Bs. Right now Goalie Tuukka Rask is one of the few Bruins showing consistency and I expect he will also be in top form, which Im betting  equates to a low scoring game.

Under is 5-1-2 in Bruins last 8 road games.Under is 6-0-2 in Red Wings last 8 home games.Under is 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings in Detroit.Under is 4-1-2 in the last 7 meetings

The Buffalo Sabres went all-out in free agency over the summer and some key veterans that should having them able to produce a little more offense as first round draft pick Sam Reinhart, Brian Gionta, Matt Moulson and defensemen Andrej Meszaros and Andre Benoit roam the ice.Meanwhile, Columbus went 7-1 in the preseason and once again are showing some significant fire power offensively behind the likes of Ryan Johannson. Im betting on both teams putting up enough combined goals to give us a nice value return on this Totals wager.

Final notes & Key Trends Since last season the Over is 11-2-4 in Sabres last 17 home games.

These teams have gone over in 6 straight meetings.

The Kings have potted 76 goals in 21 playoff games, for an average  3.48 per game. All those games were against teams superior to the Rangers. So the  oh so hot Rags goalie  Lundqvist could easily get cooled off quickly, which in turn will have the Rangers playing catch up , which in my humble opinion will produce some wide open hockey. The totals of these NHL games, are always generic around the 5 mark, and look to be very beatable.
