There are two major things to look at when betting the NHL. One…Goaltending, and two trends. Unlike the NFL when you are a “bad” team you’re typically going to lose. When say a team like the Jets (bad team) has a shot against a team like the Buccaneers (like earlier this season). Point is when you are bad you’re bad and when you’re good you’re good. This week features one really bad team (Arizona) against one surprising team (Kings), while the other game features two teams that have star power on both ends of the ice in the Oilers and Lightning.
The Plays:
EDM / TB OVER 6.5 -105
These plays this week are strictly based on trends. With the stars on both ends of the ice normally a 6.5 is an automatic UNDER play for me, as seven goals is a lot to ask for but with Tampa not playing in over a week could show some rust. Mike Smith will be making his 12th start, with a sub par .895 SV% along with a 3.61 GAA, to also go along with it the Oilers given up 3.33 GPG and they aren’t much of a defensive team. On the flip side Vasilevskiy could be the reason why this over doesn’t hit with his 2.27 GAA, and .922SV%, and Tampa Bay has a top flight defense only allowing 2.8 GPG.
This game will be a fun back and forth game coming down to the end with the score being 3-3 late meaning the over will be in the bag.
VALUE PLAY: ARZ +180
When you see a value play on these articles by no means do i think that play will hit but there is some great value on that play. In this case there are three (really only two) reasons why there is a chance the Yots’ have a shot. Reason one they are home and I love a good home underdog. Not many sports have a true “home field” advantage, but when you are home you have the opportunity for the last change in the NHL. Reason two while I mentioned when you are bad your bad anything can still happen. Just a few weeks ago the Coyotes were +420 and beat the Avalanche in Colorado, a much better team than the Kings, whose they are playing at home, and lastly they have one of the best sweaters (yes they are called sweaters) in the NHL.
