I get the Lightning being favored here and heavily at that as well, but the thing is as bad as the Red Wings have been, they’ve been in games in some spots and the last 5 meetings against Tampa Bay have all been decided by a single goal. It’s a lean, but getting the +1.5 at plus money sounds good to me for a small play so give me Detroit +1.5 in this one.

The Arizona Coyotes are off to a rough start because of a lack of consistent offense and it's hard to genre their road struggles dating back to last season given their current form. The St. Louis Blues are starting to get their feet under them and they're only going to be more dangerous once the goaltending improves. The Blues have also had a clear upper hand over the Coyotes in past meetings. I'll take the Blues and the PL to shave down the ML price.

We are once again getting the Washington Capitals and plus money, something we've taken full advantage of multiple times this season. Sure, the Bruins are a really solid team and have a clear edge on the defensive side, but I'm not turning down plus money with the Capitals. It should also be mentioned that the Caps have won eight of the last 10 meetings against the Bruins, which includes an overtime win a couple days ago. Give me the underdog Capitals for the third straight game.

The New Jersey Devils just can't get out of their own way and they have to be frustrated with how they blew multiple leads yesterday and lost in a shootout. The Buffalo Sabres continue to show flashes of being an improved team and yesterdays victory will only increase the confidence of this club. It's still early, but the Devils seem to have similar results when they take the ice. I'll once again lay the juice with the Sabres at home.

The St. Louis Blues are playing the better hockey and just absolutely dominated the Ducks last night in a 6-1 victory. The Anaheim Ducks are still having issues putting together consistent offense and have now been held to two or less goals in eight of their first nine games. It can always be tricky when playing the same team twice in as many days, but the Blues have the clear edge in this spot once again.

The Florida Panthers are off to a great start through four games and their offensive firepower has been impressive out of the gate. The Detroit Red Wings look like the team from last year, and that's a team that can't do much of anything right. The Red Wings have lost four straight games and have been outscored 19-7 during that span. I'll back the Panthers and take the PL to shave down an expensive ML price. The Red Wings hold no value right now.

The season is still young, but this feels like two teams heading in different directions and the Canadiens have looked sharper at both ends of the ice. It also doesn't hurt that the Canadiens have won each of the last six meetings against the Flames, which includes a 4-2 win on Thursday. The Habs have scored no less than four goals in each of their last four games. With the cheap price, this feels almost a little too easy. Give me the Montreal Canadiens for a fourth straight victory.

I've said in past write ups that the Toronto Maple Leafs are legit Stanley Cup contenders as long a they continue to show effort on the defensive side. This is some of the best hockey the Maple Leafs have played in a while and they're worth a futures bet at this point. It also doesn't hurt that the Maple Leafs have won 20 of the last 27 meetings against the Oilers. This price is rather cheap if we're being honest. I'll gladly back Toronto for a fifth straight victory.

The St. Louis Blues haven't had a ton of success over the years playing at the Honda Center, but they're easily the better team in this spot. The Anaheim Ducks have a long history of folding in the underdog role and they're going to have an even tougher time this season if the offense doesn't pick up. This is a game where the Blues should have their way from start to finish, so I'll lay the PL for added value.

The Blue Jackets have the better goaltending, which is something considering I’m not high on this Columbus team at all. However, as bad as Chicago looked early this season, the Blackhawks have actually been competitive as of late and that will help considering they’ve owned the Blue Jackets in this matchup over the years. I think Chicago getting plus money is one of the better value plays on the board on Friday.

The Vegas Golden Knights are a team you shouldn't make a habit out of betting against, especially at home where they've been great over the years. The issue here is you're not going to get the St. Louis Blues in the underdog role often, and they've now won five of the last eight games against Vegas, which includes a 5-4 win on Tuesday. You'd expect the Golden Knights to bounce back with a stronger showing, but the value is with the Blues and the plus money.

The Chicago Blackhawks have been very competitive over their last four games and they have to feel like they let a game slip away last night. The Nashville Predators have also had offensive issues up to this point and aren't exactly putting teams away. We should see another very competitive contest between these clubs that comes down to the wire. I'll take the Blackhawks

The Philadelphia Flyers have become a team I've automatically backed dating back to last season and they've been very kind to me. However, the New Jersey Devils are playing great hockey in their own right, have had success lately in the underdog role and have won five of the last nine meetings against the Flyers. While the Flyers are a money making machine, this is a steep line and one that's not showing the Devils much respect. Give me the home underdog.

The Chicago Blackhawks aren't supposed to be good this year, but their last three games include taking the Panthers to overtime and outscoring the Red Wings 10-3. The Nashville Predators are riding a three-game losing streak where they've scored a combined four goals. The Predators are the better team here, usually play well at home and have beaten up on the Blackhawks the last several years. However, we're getting big plus money with the team that's coming off the better week. I'll take my chances at a big payout.

The Buffalo Sabres are better than what they've shown through five games and the roster is much improved, but at some point we have to see it. The Sabres haven't looked good up to this point and I'm starting to get flashbacks from past years. The Washington Capitals are still the Capitals, and that's a team that's in every game, usually dominates at home and has treated Buffalo like a punching bag over the years. Not sure why the Caps are underdogs here, but I'll take it without asking questions.

The Arizona Coyotes finally got one against the Golden Knights, but one victory doesn't move the needle a whole lot for me. The Vegas Golden Knights have still been head and shoulders the better team up to this point and have had the upper hand over the Coyotes in past meetings overall. The Coyotes have a history of folding in big games and their defensive effort hasn't always been there this season. I'll lay the somewhat reasonable price with Vegas on the road.

The Philadelphia Flyers have also been a money making machine dating back to last season and aren't a team I truncates down in the underdog role often. I'm going to continue backing the Flyers, especially at these prices.

If Edmonton maintains its focus, expect a tight matchup. Still, Scotiabank Arena has been a tough place to visit for the Oilers, who have managed to record just two away victories on their past nine visits to Toronto, while the Leafs have triumphed in five of their previous six contests versus sides with a winning percentage below the .400 mark.

Detroit has allowed just 10 goals in their four games while Chicago has given up 20 goals, five in each of their four games on the year. The Blackhawks have to find a way to tighten up in their own zone. Until we see them actually do that, you have to fade their chances, even at home. Detroit picks up the road victory in this contest.

The Boston Bruins have been a little sluggish offensively out of a gate, and they're running into a Flyers team that hasn't missed a beat from last season. The Philadelphia Flyers are a team I've blindly backed over the last year or so, and they continue to be one of the more profitable teams in the league. The Flyers have also won six of the last eight games against the Bruins. I'm going to keep backing the Flyers, especially when getting plus money.

While the jury is still out on if the Toronto Maple Leafs can continue playing at this level, it is nice to see one of the more talented rosters play like it and string wins together. The Edmonton Oilers aren't playing good hockey and their defensive issues don't bode well against this Maple Leafs offense. The Toronto Maple Leafs have also beat up on the Oilers over the years. I'll back the Maple Leafs and the PL for max betting value.

The Minnesota Wild have played their best hockey on the road dating back to last season and they've had no trouble winning in Anaheim as of late. The Anaheim Ducks have offensive issues out of the gate and they've had major issues stringing wins together the last couple of years. I have little confidence in the Ducks, and they're a team I've blindly faded at times. The Wild are the better team here and should win this game. I'll lay the reasonable juice.

The Arizona Coyotes have a history of coming up short against quality completion and they've been brutal on the road dating back to last season. The Vegas Golden Knights are probably the hottest team in the league through the first week or so, and they've outscored the Coyotes 10-4 in the last three meetings. There's no option for me here other than to lay the PL with the Golden Knights on their home ice.

The Winnipeg Jets looked great in their season opener, but I need a larger sample size before I can start backing them against above average teams on the road. The Toronto Maple Leafs are possibly the most talented roster in the league and there's a lot of pressure on them this season to finally make a deep playoff run. Through three games, the Maple Leafs have been solid and that offense is clicking on all cylinders. Through in the recent one sided history, and I'll lay the reasonable juice with the home team.

Against above average competition, the Coyotes have a lot to prove before I can get behind them with confidence. The Vegas Golden Knights are on quite a role through two games and are going to be almost impossible to beat if that offensive production continues. We've seen the Coyotes fold many times in games like this in the past. Give me Vegas and the PL for max betting value.

The Wild are heading to the game here after getting a good win in their last game, but it was a battle. Now, the Kings would like to get a better play here and land more of those shots than what they did in the loss. Look for the Kings offense to play good in the game here and that will definitely help the Kings out in the game here.

The Flames are looking like a team that needs to improve offensively. The defense for Calgary did look good, but was outmatched in their opening game by a Jets game that was not that strong. Look for the Canucks to be able to come into the game here and play better than the Flames who are unable to get a lot of shots in the game.

Colorado was embarrassed in the opening game and were completely flat offensively. Look for some of that to continue in this game here as the Avalanche are not going to have enough time to make the proper adjustments to their lines to become more productive. Not to mention another contributing factor to the horrible offense from Colorado is the smothering defense Saint Louis brings to the ice.

Finding the right goalie combination could be a challenge for the Capitals in the game. Samsonov has played good in the past, but Lundqvist is coming in as a good veteran presence, but he did not look nearly as good as what he did before. Now, the main thing here is the Sabres are coming in unsettled as well, but Buffalo has always started off hot then faded and that is what happens here.

Coming to the game here the Predators are coming in with a better offense, but their offense was streaky last year at best and would have some runs that the Predators did good, but others the Predators looked horrible. The Blue Jackets were consistently horrible on the offensive side of the puck, but the Blue Jackets defense was hard to crack and that should continue here for Columbus.

Los Angeles has had the upper hand in this matchup as the Kings have won five of the last six played on their home ice against Minnesota and overall the home team (LA) has won 13 of the last 16 meetings between the two. Los Angeles boasts a young talented group of skaters who will look to jump out of the gate quick to start the regular season with a victory on their home ice Thursday.
