Just like that opening night is done (kinda) as “opening night” is a week long even while teams have their first games whether it be at home or on the road. Both the Sabres and Kraken will have their home openers tonight as both teams are a combined 0-4-1 in their last five games. Colorado looks to remain undefeated while Tampa looks to figure out their goaltending giving up 14 goals in 3 games.

The Plays:
PIT @ DET
As mentioned in the future plays the Red Wings are going to compete this year as they are off to a 2-1 start. I do find it weird that starter James Reimer is not getting the nod in net with this game not being part of a back to back. Jarry seems to be between the pipes for the Pens, but that is where we are looking at as the Wings need to win games like this at home early against a Penguins team that is still average at best but it would be a signature win betting Crosby and company. Trends show they keep games close, not sure against the Pens but in general. Very rarely will we take a team getting 1.5 and laying that much. The O/U trends have been split and something i would stay away from as it looks like Husso is still trying to find his way with his 3.50 GAA and sub .900 save %, but the Wings are in a good spot as home underdogs to pull off the minor upset.
