01-15-18 | Sharks v. Kings UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 28 h 49 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK is on the under Sharks/Kings (4:05 EST). San Jose comes into this one off a tough 6-5 OT home win over Arizona, while LA enters off a 4-2 home setback to Anaheim. A couple of competent goaltenders in Jonathan Quick and Martin Jones go head-to-head in this one and in my opinion, all signs point to classic “battle.” The Sharks come into this one averaging 2.78 GPG, while conceding just 2.66 (ranked sixth.) Jones is 13-14 with a 2.65 GAA this year, but he’s almost always been at his best whenever facing the Kings, going s sharp 8-5 with a 2.14 GAA lifetime against them. LA averages 2.93 GPG and it concedes only 2.40 (ranked first overall.) Quick is 19-16 with a 2.33 GAA (owns a lifetime 2.52 GAA against San Jose.) I’ll point out as well that San Jose has seen the total go under the number in four of its last six after posting an OT victory in its previous outing in which it scored five goals or more in, while LA has seen the total dip below the posted number in two of its three after a loss by two goals or more in its previous game. For all the reasons listed above, play the under. Good luck…Larry |

01-13-18 | Bruins -133 v. Canadiens | Top | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 27 h 34 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Boston Bruins (7:05 EST). The 23-10-5-2 Boston Bruins are in Montreal to take on the 18-20-3-1 Canadiens and for a number of different reasons I think this one favors the visitors. Boston averages 3.23 GPG and it concedes 2.50. Goaltender Tuukka Rask is 14-8-5 with a 2.23 GAA overall this year. The Bruins come out of their bye week off a 6-5 OT defeat to the Pens, but they still have not suffered a regulation loss in 11 straight outings. Note that the Bruins have won eight of their last 11 away from friendly confines. The Habs comes in off back-to-back wins, a 2-1 shoot-out victory over Tampa Bay to snap a five-game slide, before a 5-2 victory over Vancouver. Montreal averages just 2.52 GPG and it concedes 3.05. Netminder Carey Price is 13-14-2 with a 2.89 GAA. I’ll point out that the Bruins are 4-0 in their last four when playing on three or more days rest, while the Canadiens are just 1-4 in their last five against the Eastern Conference. I give the Bruins the nod in net and that’s going to be more than enough to tip the scales in their favor this evening. Lay the price. Good luck…Larry |

01-12-18 | Jets v. Blackhawks -110 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 31 h 20 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Chicago Blackhawks (8:30 EST). Winnipeg looks poised for a letdown here in my opinion after its 7-4 road win over Buffalo, while it’s going to be “all hands on deck” for the Hawks after their 2-1 home loss to Minnesota. The Jets average 3.4 GPG, while conceding 2.73. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is 24-10 with a 2.36 GAA on the year, including 7-8 with a 2.59 GAA on the road. But as mentioned above, after three straight wins and victories in six of their last seven, I think the visitors are going to have bit of a mental lapse this evening. The Hawks average 3.12 GPG and concede 2.72. Netminder Anton Forsberg is 1-3 with a 1.60 GAA at home this season. I’ll point out as well that Winnipeg has in fact struggled in this spot, despite the win against the Sabres it’s still only 3-9 in its last 12 on the road (also just 1-8 in its last nine road games against a team with a winning home record), while Chicago is 100-45 in its last 145 home games against a team with a losing road record. I think the hungry Hawks find a way to get the job done at the end of the night and all things considered, I believe this is the very definition of “great line value.” Play on Chicago. Good luck…Larry |

01-09-18 | Hurricanes v. Lightning UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -103 | 28 h 2 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK is on the UNDER Hurricanes/Lightning (7:35 EST). Florida enters off a 7-1 road loss to Boston, while Tampa enters off a 5-2 road victory over Detroit. After winning seven of eight, the Panthers have now lost three of four. Florida enters averaging 2.73 GPG, while conceding 3.00. Cam Ward is 11-5 with a 2.63 GAA, including 6-3 with a 2.81 GAA on the road. Tampa broke a two-game slide with the convincing victory over the Red Wings and it now averages 3.61 GPG, while conceding just 2.41. Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskly is an amazing 26-8 with a 2.04 GAA, including 15-2 with a 2.19 GAA at home. I’ll point out as well that Carolina has seen the total go under the number in six of ten already this year in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent, while Tampa has seen the total dip below the posted number in four of its last six against clubs with losing records. I think tomorrow’s summaries will be dominated with the talk of these two competent net minders. While each team comes in off a high-scoring affair, everything points to a lower-scoring under in this one. Good luck…Larry |

01-07-18 | Sharks v. Jets -130 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 24 h 52 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Winnipeg Jets (3:05 EST). I think the Sharks have a predictable letdown here after their 6-5 OT loss in Ottawa in their latest action. Conversely, I look for the Jets to build off their 4-3 home win over Buffalo. San Jose comes into this one averaging 2.74 GPG, while ranked fifth in goals allowed by conceding just 2.56 per contest. Goaltender Martin Jones is 13-13 with a 2.54 GAA and just 4-7 with a 2.79 GAA on the road. Winnipeg averages 4.11 GPG and concedes just 2.58 in front of the home town crowd this season. Connor Hellebuyck is 24-10 with a 2.40 GAA, including 15-2 with a 2.24 GAA at home. I’ll point out as well that San Jose is just 1-4 in its last five against teams with winning records, while Winnipeg is 40-19 in its last 59 home games against teams with a losing road record. The Sharks are just 9-10 on the road this year, which doesn’t bode well for Jones facing this high-scoring home side. When you add it all up, I think this is fantastic “line value.” Play on the Jets. Good luck…Larry |

01-06-18 | Wild v. Avalanche +115 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 115 | 30 h 35 m | Show |
My 10* UNDERDOG SHOCKER OF THE MONTH is on the Colorado Avalanche (9:00 EST). The 22-16-3 Minnesota Wild are in Colorado to take on the 21-16-3 Avalanche and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the home side. Minnesota comes in off a 6-2 win over Buffalo on Thursday, while Colorado comes in off a 2-0 win over Columbus in its latest action. Note that this is a revenge game for Colorado after it fell 3-2 to the Wild in a shootout in the only other meeting this year. Minnesota averages 2.9 GPG and it concedes 2.8. Goaltender Devan Dubnyk is 15-8-2 with a 2.57 GAA. The Avs average 3.2 GPG and concede 3.00. Jonathan Bernier is 8-7-1 with a 2.94 GAA. Gabriel Landeskog has 12 points in his last nine games. I’ll point out that Minnesota is just 6-7 (-1.8 units) this year against division opponents and only 6-7 (-2.2 units) following a win by two goals or more, while Colorado is 4-1 (+3.5 units) in its last five in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent. I think the Avs offer great value in this spot. Good luck…Larry |

01-05-18 | Golden Knights v. Blackhawks -118 | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -118 | 31 h 22 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Chicago Blackhawks (8:30 EST). This is a “common sense” play for me. The Vegas Golden Knights come in off a hard-fought 2-1 loss in St. Louis just last night and suffice it to say, I think they’ll have a predictable letdown here in the second game of the back to back. Chicago comes in off an impressive 5-2 win over New York and it will be looking to take advantage of this situation after some recent shoddy play. Clearly Las Vegas has been a big surprise this year, almost unbeatable at home and still decent on the road with a 10-8-0-1 record. The Hawks play with revenge today as well though after falling 4-2 to Vegas in late October. Chicago has won four straight at home and I believe the stars have aligned for it in this particular matchup. All things considered, this is the very definition of “great line value” in my opinion. Play on the Blackhawks. Good luck…Larry |

01-04-18 | Ducks v. Oilers -126 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 29 h 14 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Edmonton Oilers (9:05 EST). Edmonton will be desperate here as it’s so far gone 0-2-1 during a four-game home stand. The Oilers sit nine points out of a playoff spot, which is being held by Anaheim. The Ducks look poised for a letdown here in my opinion though as they’ve won three straight, most recently getting the better of the Canucks 5-0 on Tuesday. Anaheim averages 2.7 GPG, while it concedes 2.7 as well. Edmonton has in fact lost four straight, most recently a 5-0 setback at home to the Kings. Connor McDavid remains a bright spot on the team with 45 points overall. Additionally I’ll point out that Anaheim has in fact struggled in this spot for bettors already this season, going 0-2 (-2.4 units) after shutting out its opponents in its previous game and just 4-5 (-1.7 units) after a win by two goals or more, while Edmonton is 5-2 (+2.4 units) against division opponents this season and 6-4 (+1.9 units) after scoring one goal or less in its previous outing. I think the Ducks have a letdown here after their big 5-0 win and I look for the Oilers to risk life and limb today after back-to-back 5-0 losses. All things considered a great price, play on Edmonton. Good luck…Larry |
|||||||
01-03-18 | Blackhawks v. Rangers -145 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -145 | 26 h 56 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the New York Rangers (8:05 EST). Chicago comes in off a 4-3 OT loss in Calgary, while the Rangers are off a 3-2 OT win over Buffalo in the Winter Classic. The Blackhawks sit in tenth in the West, averaging only 2.95 GPG. On the defensive end they’ve been decent, allowing 2.76. Goaltender Jeff Glass gave up four goals on 39 shots in his last outing and he’s now 1-1 with a 3.46 GAA. New York averages 3.10 GPG and concedes 2.69. Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist is 13-6 with a 2.38 GAA at home this year. I’ll point out that Chicago is just 3-9 in its last 12 against teams with winning records, while New York is a solid 35-17 in its last 52 against the Western Conference. Both teams come in scuffling, but I don’t think that the home ice advantage can be overlooked as a very real factor in this matchup. I also believe that New York has a significant advantage in net tonight and that makes this a price that I have no issues at all in laying. Play on the Rangers. Good luck…Larry |

01-02-18 | Predators +125 v. Golden Knights | Top | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 29 h 35 m | Show |
My 10* Situational Stunner is on the Nashville Predators (10:00 EST). Vegas enters 2018 having gone 16-2-1 at the T-Mobile Arena. Nashville though looks to score an upset here, coming into this contest averaging 3.2 GPG, fuelled by a No. 2 ranked power play that converts on 25.0 percent of its chances. Vegas most recently beat the Leafs 6-3 on Sunday. It was the Knights seventh win in a row. The Golden Knights have been getting exceptional goaltending, but the Predators can match pace with Pekka Rinne in that department. Nashville plays with revenge here as well after falling to Vegas earlier in the year and note that the Predators are already a solid 9-7 (+1.2 units) this season in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent. I think that the Knights stumble here against this equally as powerful Western Conference foe. Great value, play on the Predators. Good luck…Larry |

12-31-17 | Blackhawks v. Flames -129 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 30 h 38 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE MONTH is on the Calgary Flames (9:00 EST). The 18-14-5 Chicago Blackhawks are in Calgary to take on the 18-16-4 Flames on New Years Eve and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the hungry home side. Chicago enters off a 4-3 OT road win over Edmonton, while Calgary lost 2-1 in Anaheim in its latest action. The Hawks average 2.9 GPG and concede 2.7. Goaltender Corey Crawford owns a 16-9-2 record and a 2.27 GAA thus far. The Flames average 2.7 GPG and concede 2.8. Netminder Mike Smith has a 14-13-3 record to go along with a 2.56 GAA. I’ll point out though that Chicago is just 4-5 (-2.5 units) in its last nine after scoring four goals or more in its previous contest, while Calgary is 6-3 (+2.6 units) this season after scoring one goal or less in its previous outing and 2-0 (+2.5 units) after three or more consecutive losses. The Flames are the much “hungrier” team and home ice can’t be overlooked as a very real factor either in this situation. In my opinion, this is the very definition of “great line value.” Play on the Flames. Good luck…Larry |

12-29-17 | Islanders v. Jets -138 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 30 h 52 m | Show |
My 10* NON-CONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR is on the Winnipeg Jets (8:00 EST). The 20-13-4 New York Islanders are in Winnipeg to take on the 21-11-6 Jets and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the home side. Note that Winnipeg plays with revenge here after falling 5-2 in Long Island last weekend. New York got the better of Buffalo 3-2 in OT on Wednesday. The Isles rank among the league leaders in all offensive categories, but they’ve gotten inconsistent goaltending from Jaroslav Halak. Winnipeg enters off a 4-3 win over Edmonton. Note that the Jets are 21-7 in their last 28 home games and 21-6 in their last 27 home games against clubs with losing road records. Winnipeg goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is 19-4-5 on the season. I’ll also point out that the Islanders are a poor 1-4 in their last five following a victory. This line could easily be a lot larger in my opinion as I believe the Isles stumble in this non-conference Western road swing opener. Play on the Jets. Good luck…Larry |

12-28-17 | Flames v. Sharks -140 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 30 h 5 m | Show |
My 10* Weekly Wipeout Winner is on the San Jose Sharks (10:30 EST). The 18-15-3 Calgary Flames are in San Jose to take on the 19-11-4 Sharks and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the home side. Calgary comes in off a 3-2 home loss to the Habs, while San Jose enters off a 2-0 win over the Kings. And if recent history is any precedence, then the Sharks have to be liking their chances today, because when these teams met earlier in the season, it was San Jose that skated away with the 3-2 win. The Flames are just 4-4-2 in their last ten games and have averaged just 2.8 GPG this year, ranking them 21st overall. Goaltender Mike Smith has been a bright spot, posing a 14-12-2, 2.58 GAA record thus far. San Jose averages 2.8 GPG as well, and it concedes just 2.40, ranked second overall. Goaltender Martin Jones is 12-8-3 with a 2.51 GAA. I’ll point out that Calgary is just 1-4 in its last five road games against a team with a winning home record, while San Jose is 4-0 in its last four home games against a team with a winning road record. The Flames’ offense has been horrible of late, averaging just 2.3 GPG over its last ten, which clearly doesn’t bode well going up against San Jose’s elite defense. In my opinion, this line could easily be a lot higher. Lay the price, play on the Sharks. Good luck…Larry |

12-27-17 | Golden Knights v. Ducks -117 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -117 | 30 h 43 m | Show |
My 10* SIDE OF THE WEEK is on the Anaheim Ducks (10:05 EST). Anaheim enters off a 4-0 road win over Pittsburgh. Rickard Rakell had two points, while goaltender John Gibson posted the shutout. Keep your eyes on Rakell, he now leads the team with 24 points, including ten goals. The difference maker today for me though is Ducks’ netminder Gibson, who is just 11-11-4 on the year, but who owns an elite .922 save percentage and 2.77 GAA. Vegas is 15-2-1 at home this season, but just 8-7-1 on the road. The Golden Knights have been great, but clearly their weakness is their performance away from friendly confines. Vegas looks primed for a letdown here too in my opinion after knocking off the Capitals at home in their latest action. I’ll point out as well that Vegas is just 1-2 in its last three when playing on two or more days rest, while the Ducks are 4-0 in their last four when playing on three or more days rest. For all the reasons listed above, play on Anaheim. Good luck…Larry |

12-20-17 | Blues +105 v. Flames | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 30 h 53 m | Show |
My 10* Situational Stunner is on the St. Louis Blues (9:35 EST). St. Louis comes in off a 4-0 loss at Winnipeg and with a game tomorrow night in Edmonton, tonight’s contest takes on added importance. The Flames broke a three-game slide with a big 6-1 road win over Vancouver and I think they look primed for a letdown here. St. Louis is still ranked 13th in the league in scoring with an average of 3.00 GPG, while ranked fourth on the defensive side by conceding just 2.51. Goaltender Jake Allen looks to bounce back off a rare shaky effort, he’s still 17-11 with a 2.59 GAA on the year, including 7-5 with a 2.82 GAA on the road. Calgary averages 2.79 GPG, while it allows 2.94. Goaltender Mike Smith is 13-14 with a 2.61 GAA on the year, including 7-9 with a 3.05 GAA at home. I’ll point out that St. Louis is 38-17 in its last 55 when playing on two days of rest, while Calgary is still just 27-58 in its last 85 against teams with a winning percentage above .600. I like Allen to outplay Smith and in my opinion, that’s going to be more than enough to tip the scales in favor of the Blues tonight. Good luck…Larry |

12-19-17 | Lightning v. Golden Knights +112 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 112 | 30 h 41 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Las Vegas Golden Knights (10:05 EST). I think Tampa has a letdown here in the finale of its four-game Western swing. Both teams come in hot, with Tampa leading the NHL with 50 points, while the Knights have won six of their last seven. Tampa ranks first in the league in goals with 3.8 per game, while goaltender Andrei Vasileskly is 21-4-1 with a 2.11 GAA. Speaking of hot goaltenders though, Knights’ starter Marc Andre Fleury is back from injury and he comes in with an 8-2 record after winning his last four starts. Note that Vegas has six players with over 20 points so far this year. Additionally I’ll point out that Tampa is just 29-65 in its last 94 road games against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, while Vegas is still 13-3 in its last 16 in front of the home town crowd. The Knights are third in the NHL in scoring with 3.4 GPG and I think they’ll catch the Lightning a little “flat footed” in their final game of their road trip. Great value, play on the Golden Knights. Good luck…Larry |

12-18-17 | Ducks v. Devils -110 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
My 8* Weekly Wipeout Winner is on the New Jersey Devils (7:05 EST). The Ducks come into this one off a 3-2 OT loss in Washington, while New Jersey enters off a 5-2 home win over Dallas. Anaheim is just 3-5 in its last eight after its latest setback. The Ducks average only 2.61 GPG, while conceding 2.76. Goaltender John Gibson is 10-14 with a 2.84 GAA this year, including only 4-5 with a 3.05 GAA on the road. New Jersey has been inconsistent of late as well, but does come in off the momentum building 5-2 beatdown of the Stars. It’s now in second place in the Metro behind the Blue Jackets. On the year the Devils average 3.06 GPG, while they concede 2.94 GPG. Goaltender Cory Schneider is 13-10 with a 2.58 GAA and is 7-6 with a 2.58 GAA at home. I’ll point out as well that Anaheim is just 1-6 in its last seven when playing on two days rest, while New Jersey is 5-1 in its last six against the Western Conference. I give the nod to Schneider over Gibson in this matchup and that’s going to be more than enough to tip the scales in favor of the home side. Lay the price. Good luck…Larry |

12-16-17 | Predators v. Flames -105 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -105 | 29 h 31 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Calgary Flames (10:05 EST). Calgary has struggled over its last ten games, winning just four of them. The Flames come in having lost two straight, most recently a tough 3-2 setback to the Sharks. With a game tomorrow night on the road in Vancouver, the Flames look to break their string of shoddy play with a big victory in front of the home town crowd. Nashville comes in on the other end of the spectrum, having won seven of its last ten, including back-to-back games, most recently a 4-0 win in Edmonton on Thursday (after hammering the Canucks 7-2.) With two whole nights off before a home game against the Jets, I think the visitors finally come in a bit complacent here and get caught looking ahead. Additionally I’ll point out that the Predators are already 0-2 (-2.1 units) after shutting out their opponent in their previous game, while Calgary is 3-1 (+1.7 units) in its last four after losing in OT and failing to register three or more goals in its previous outing. For all the reasons listed above, play on the Flames. Good luck…Larry |

12-14-17 | Ducks v. Blues -146 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -146 | 14 h 28 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the St. Louis Blues (8:05 EST). St. Louis comes in off a 3-0 loss to Tampa Bay on Tuesday, snapping a four-game win streak, while the Ducks come in having won two of their last three. Note that a number of Anaheim players are questionable for this game, with LW Nick Ritchie and defenseman Hampus Lindholm both questionable. Anaheim got the job done 3-2 over Carolina in its latest action, but was outshot 30-23. The Blues’ Jake Allen looks to get back on track, he’s now 17-7-2. Note that Allen hasn’t seen more than 30 shots on goal in six straight games. Anaheim is a decent 5-4 on the road, but the Blues are 11-6 at home. I given Allen the big nod in net in this matchup and that alone will be more than enough for me to pull the trigger on the home side. Lay the price, play on the Blues. Good luck…Larry |

12-13-17 | Stars v. Islanders -128 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -128 | 26 h 58 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the New York Islanders (7:05 EST). Dallas comes to town off a highly satisfying 2-1 road win over the Rangers, while the Isles also come in off a 3-1 home victory over the Capitals. So far the Stars average 2.87 GPG, while ranked 13th in goals allowed with 2.87. Goaltender Kari Lehtonen is 4-5 with a 2.49 GAA. Ben Bishop will be in net tonight though and he’s 13-9 with a 2.75 GAA, including jsut 4-6 with a 3.55 GAA on the road. New York averages 3.53 GPG and concedes 3.30. Goaltender Jaroslav Halak is 9-8 with a 2.82 GAA and 5-1 with a 2.39 GAA at home. I’ll point out that Dallas is just 17-35 in its last 52 after allowing two goals or less in its previous game, while New York is 8-2 in its last ten at home. New York has struggled on the road, but is 9-3 at home. Dallas has struggled on the road as well, going just 7-10 thus far. The home team is 6-1 the last seven in this series and I expect that strong trend to continue here. All things considered, this is a very fair price. Play on New York. Good luck…Larry |

My 10* Weekly Wipeout Winner is on the LA Kings (7:05 EST). LA comes in off a 3-2 OT win at home over Carolina, while New Jersey enters off a 5-2 road loss at the Rangers. The Kings are rolling, winners of eight straight and averaging 3.08 GPG. LA is No. 1 defensively, conceding just 2.19 GPG. Goaltender Jonathan Quick is 15-9 with a 2.18 GAA, including 8-3 with a 2.14 GAA on the road. The Devils average 3.00 GPG and concede 3.06. Goaltender Cory Schneider is 11-9 with a 2.72 GAA, including 5-6 with a 2.77 GAA at home. New Jersey is just 6-7 at home this season. Additionally I’ll point out that LA is 8-1 in its last nine road games against a team with a losing home record, while New Jersey is just 15-36 in its last 51 against teams with a winning percentage above .600. LA is 10-4 on the road and Quick gets the big nod over Schneider here. I don’t expect LA to “look past” its opponent and all things considered, I do indeed feel this number could in fact be a lot larger. Play on the red hot Kings. Good luck…Larry |

My 10* Oddsmakers Error is on the Caroilna Hurricanes (10:05 EST). The 11-10-7 Carolina Hurricanes are in Anaheim to take on the 12-11-7 Ducks and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the visitors. Carolina comes to town having lost five of its last six. The Hurricanes are struggling, but so too are the Ducks, who can completely empathize with their counterparts today as they’ve lost six straight after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous outing. Anaheim is struggling with several injuries to its offense as well. I’m calling Scott Darling and John Gibson a “wash” in net in this one, but note that Carolina is 5-2 (+2.7 units) in its last three after three or more consecutive losses, while Anaheim is already just 1-4 (-3 units) this year when playing with two days rest. I like Carolina to finally get off the schneid in this favorable machup. Great value, play on the Hurricanes. Good luck…Larry |

My 10* Weekend Wipeout Winner is on the Boston Bruins (7:05 EST). New York comes in off a disheartening 4-3 OT loss to Pittsburgh, while the Bruins enter off an easy 6-1 home win over the Coyotes. After a great streak, the Isles have come crashing down to Earth of late, having dropped three of their last four. New York averages 3.64 GPG and concedes 3.39. Goaltender Jaroslav Halak is 8-7 with a 2.99 GAA, including 4-6 with a 3.12 GAA on the road. The Bruins average 2.84 GPG and concede 2.80. Tuukka Rask is 6-10 with a 2.52 GAA on the year, including 5-5 with a 2.40 GAA at home. Rask has dominated the Isles throughout his career though, going 10-5 with a 2.39 GAA. New York is just 2-6 in its last eight in this series, while Boston is 16-5 in its last 21 home games against teams with a losing road record. The Isles are just 8-9 on the road this year and I think their sloppy play carries over in Bean-town. Lay the price, play on the Bruins. Good luck…Larry |

12-08-17 | Wild -108 v. Ducks | Top | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 29 h 40 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Minnesota Wild (10:05 EST). Minnesota looks to get back on track after a 5-2 loss to the Kings, while the Ducks look poised for a letdown here in my opinion after prevailing 3-0 over the hapless Senators in their latest action. Minnesota averages 2.92 GPG, while allowing 3.00. Goaltender Devan Dubnyk is 11-10 with a 2.78 GAA and owns an elite 2.12 GAA in 14 career matchups with Anaheim. Anaheim averages 2.62 GPG and allows 3.00. Goaltender John Gibson is 8-12 with a 2.97 GAA. Gibson has had success against the Wild in the past (3-1, 1.19 GAA), but note that the Ducks are a horrible 8-9 (-4.3 units) in their last 17 after shutting out their opponent in their previous game. Conversely, this is a spot in which the Wild have excelled in this season, going 4-2 (+1.6 units) against clubs with losing records and 7-5 (+2.4 units) after allowing four goals or more. I’m calling the goaltenders a “wash” in this one, but the numbers do indeed point to the visitors as the correct call in my opinion. Play on the Wild. Good luck…Larry |

12-07-17 | Flyers v. Canucks -118 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -118 | 32 h 28 m | Show |
My 10* Situational Stunner is on the Vancouver Canucks (10:05 EST). No need to overthink this one. Philadelphia ended a ten-game losing streak with a win over Calgary and then followed it up with a 4-2 victory in Edmonton just last night. Vancouver comes in rested and focused and on top form, having won three straight. The Canucks have outscored their opponents 10-4 during their win streak, scoring the 3-0 shutout over Carolina in their most recent action. I’ll point out that Philadelphia is just 1-3 in its last four in the second game of a back to back after scoring four goals or more in a victory in the first contest, while the Canucks are 2-1 in their last three after three or more consecutive victories. This line could easily be a lot bigger in my opinion as the oddsmaker’s are giving the red hot Canucks little respect in this great situational matchup. Play on Vancouver. Good luck…Larry |

12-05-17 | Rangers v. Penguins UNDER 6 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 40 m | Show |
My 10* Fan Appreciation O/U Oddsmaker’s Error is the under Rangers/Penguins (7:35 EST). New York comes to town off a 5-1 home win over the Hurricanes, while Pittsburgh enters off a 5-1 home win over the Sabres. New York averages 3.31 GPG and concedes 2.96. Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist is 13-8 with a 2.66 GAA. Lundqvist has had plenty of success against the Penguins over his career, posting a solid 2.51 lifetime GAA (in over 60 games played!) The Penguins average 2.96 GPG and concede 3.21. Goaltender Tristan Jarry is 4-2 with a 1.99 GAA, including 3-0 with a 2.07 GAA at home. I’ll point out that New York has seen the total go under the number in six of ten this year against teams with winning records, while Pittsburgh has seen the total go under in five of seven home games when the total in the contest is set at 6 or more. I think these goaltenders will be the main story line in tomorrow’s summaries. Play the under. Good luck….Larry |

12-04-17 | Bruins v. Predators -132 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 28 h 6 m | Show |
My 10* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Nashville Predators (8:05 EST). Boston comes to town off a 3-0 win over the hapless Flyers, while Nashville enters off a 3-2 shootout win over the lowly Ducks. The Bruins average 2.71 GPG, while conceding 2.79. Netminder Tuukka Rask comes off the strong outing against Philadelphia, but overall he’s been terrible, going just 5-10 with a 2.65 GAA, including only 1-5 with a 2.80 GAA on the road. Nashville averages 3.04 GPG and concedes 2.81. Goaltender Pekka Rinne is 15-6 with a 2.35 GAA, including 10-2 with a 2.52 GAA at home (note that he’s 4-2 with a 2.07 GAA lifetime against Boston.) Additionally I’ll point out that Boston is just 1-6 in its last seven trips to Nashville, while the Predators are 4-1 in their last five against the Eastern Conference. I like Rinne to outduel his currently inconsistent counterpart and all things considered, I do indeed feel that this is the very definition of “great line value.” Lay the price, play on the Predators. Good luck…Larry |

12-02-17 | Oilers v. Flames -139 | Top | 7-5 | Loss | -139 | 27 h 56 m | Show |
My 10* Weekly Wipeout Winner is on the Calgary Flames (10:05 EST). The Flames come in off a convincing 3-0 home win over Arizona and I expect the team to carry that momentum over here. The Oilers continue to struggle as they come in off a 6-4 home loss to Toronto. With four nights off after this contest, it’s not too hard to imagine Edmonton getting caught looking ahead here as well. Note only does Calgary play with revenge after a 3-0 setback to Edmonton on October 4th, but note that it’s done extremely well in this spot for bettors all year, going 4-2 (+1.5 units) against division opponents and 6-4 (+2.2 units) trying to revenge a loss against an opponent. Conversely, this is a spot in which the Oilers have really struggled in, going just 3-7 (-5.8 units) this year after allowing four goals or more in their previous contest. This line could easily be a lot larger in my estimation. Great value, play on the Flames. Good luck…Larry |
|||||||
12-01-17 | Senators v. Islanders -140 | Top | 6-5 | Loss | -140 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM on the New York Islanders (7:05 EST). These two teams are moving in opposite directions. The Senators are going to be desperate here, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they have the advantage. In fact, Ottawa is struggling in all facets of the game, having lost seven straight, most recently a heartbreaking 2-1 loss to Montreal. New York though is surging in the other direction (most recently a 5-2 spanking of Vancouver) and I think it could easily be a much larger fav than what it is in this situation. The Sens average 2.91 GPG and concede 3.13. Goaltender Craig Anderson has struggled so far this season, he’s 7-11 with a 2.95 GAA, including 3-3 with a 2.49 GAA on the road. The Isles own the league’s No. 1 offense at 3.67 GPG. At home they average 4.60 GPG. Overall on the year New York concedes 3.13 GPG. Goaltender Thomas Greiss is 8-4 with a 3.34 GAA and he’s always done well against the Senators, sporting a 3-1, 2.71 GAA lifetime record vs. them. I’ll point out that Ottawa is 0-6 in its last six after scoring two goals or less in its previous contest, while New York is 19-7 in its last 26 against teams with a winning percentage below .400. Greiss is the correct call here. Anderson is struggling and that doesn’t bode well facing the league’s No. 1 offense that comes into this one on top form. As stated off the top, this line could/should easily be a lot larger. Play on the Islanders. Good luck…Larry |

11-30-17 | Maple Leafs v. Oilers -106 | Top | 6-4 | Loss | -106 | 29 h 10 m | Show |
My 10* Situational Stunner is on the Edmonton Oilers (9:05 EST). Toronto has been better than Edmonton this year. The Leafs though have lost three of their last five. The Oilers have been a big disappoinment overall this season, but they’ve looked a lot better of late, wining three of their last four. The Leafs are in Vancouver on Saturday night, while the Oilers travel to Calgary on Saturday. Clearly these teams are very evenly matched. Edmonton has under-performed big time to this point, while Toronto has likely exceeded expectations. The Leafs are now stumbling, while the Oilers seem to be on the rise. Despite Edmonton starting its backup goaltender tonight, I’m still calling the netminders a “wash” in this one. I simply feel that the Oilers are the much “hungrier” team. Expectations were sky high coming into the season and there’s no way the team can be satisfied with a couple of recent wins under its belt. I like Edmonton to risk life and limb tonight as it sends a message to Eastern Canada. Play on the Oilers. Good luck…Larry |

11-29-17 | Senators v. Canadiens -130 | 1-2 | Win | 100 | 28 h 33 m | Show | |
My 8* Weekly Wipeout Winner is on the Montreal Canadiens (7:35 EST). Ottawa enters off a 2-1 home loss to the Islanders, while the Canadiens come in off a 3-1 home victory over the Blue Jackets. The Sens will be desperate here, they’ve lost six straight. So far Ottawa averages 3.00 GPG and concedes 3.18. Goaltender Craig Anderson has had an uncharacteristically difficult time to open the season, he’s now 7-11 with a 2.95 GAA (note that he’s 10-14 with a 3.28 GAA.) In most cases, I’d likely even back the desperate visiting side today, but the Canadiens could care less about the Senators problems. No team in the NHL struggled more than Montreal over the first month and a half. The Habs though come in off back-to-back victories, beating Buffalo 3-0 before then slowing down a red hot Blue Jackets team with a 3-1 win. Goaltender Carey Price returned from injury in the victory over the Sabres and continued that momentum against Columbus. I expect the all star to once again carry that dominance over into this one against the struggling Senators. I’ll point out that as well that Ottawa is just 1-5 in its last six when its opponent allows two goals or less in its previous game, while Montreal is now 6-2 ATS in its last eight against the Eastern Conference. I think Price turns out to be the difference today (note that he’s 20-12 with a 2.37 GAA lifetime against Ottawa). Lay the price on Price! Good luck…Larry |

11-28-17 | Stars -112 v. Golden Knights | Top | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 29 h 22 m | Show |
My 10* ODDSMAKERS ERROR is on the Dallas Stars (10:00 EST). The 12-10-1 Dallas Stars are in Vegas to take on the 15-6-1 Golden Knights on Tuesday night and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the visitors. Dallas allows 2.9 GPG and scores 2.9 as well, placing it in the middle of the pack on both ends of the ice. The Stars come in off a 6-4 home win over the Flames and have now won three of their last four games. Vegas concedes 3.00 GPG and averages 3.7. The Golden Knights have won four in a row and five of their last six, but note that Vegas is already just 1-2 in its last three after three-game or longer unbeaten streak. I like Dallas in this spot as it looks to avenge a 2-1 setback to the Knights back on October 6th. Play on the Stars. Good luck…Larry |

11-27-17 | Panthers v. Devils OVER 5.5 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 30 h 41 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH is on the over Panthers/Devils (7:00 EST). Florida comes in off a 4-1 home loss to Chicago, while the Devils enter off a 4-3 OT victory over Detroit. So far the Panthers average 2.82 GPG, while conceding 3.45. Goaltender Roberto Luongo is 5-6 with a 2.71 GAA. Luongo is also 12-16 with a 2.76 GAA lifetime against New Jersey. The Devils average 3.22 GPG, while allowing 3.00. Netminder Corey Schneider who is 9-7 with a 2.76 GAA this year. I’ll point out though that Florida has seen the total go over the number in nine of 12 this year in revenging a loss against an opponent and in seven of ten after allowing four goals or more in its previous contest, while New Jersey has seen the total sail above the posted number in six of its last 11 against clubs with losing records. Suspect defensive play, combined with below average goaltending at the moment, points to this total flying over the number as the game comes donw the stretch. Good luck…Larry |

11-24-17 | Senators v. Blue Jackets -155 | Top | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 27 h 13 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Columbus Blue Jackets (7:00 EST). Columbus comes in off an OT win over Calgary and it’s now won five straight. Suffice it to say, I’m fully expecting the home side to carry that mometum over here. The Senators on the other hand are in “free fall” mode, having dropped four straight. Note that Columbus plays with revenge here as well as Ottawa took three of four in the season series a year ago. During their slide the Sens have posted just five goals, most recently getting shutout at New York, followed up by a 5-2 loss to Washington on Wednesday. Goaltender Craig Anderson gave up four of those five goals to the Capitals before being pulled. A cold offense is not what the doctor ordered when facing red hot Blue Jackets’ netminder Sergei Bobrovsky, who has given up four goals during his team’s five game win streak (that includes two shuouts.) Note that Ottawa is just 1-5 in its last six against the Eastern Conference, while Columbus is 4-0 in its last four in the same position. I’m banking on Bobrovsky to continue his stellar play. Great value, play on the Blue Jackets. Good luck…Larry |

11-22-17 | Sharks -126 v. Coyotes | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 28 h 9 m | Show |
10* Las Vegas Insider on the San Jose Sharks (9:05 EST). San Jose comes to town on the heels of a three-game losing streak, with only one hope to snap the slide. And that hope arrives in the form of the Arizona Coyotes, who I believe are primed for a letdown here after three straight victories. The Sharks offense has gone cold of late. Defense and goaltending are both fine. Note that while they’ve allowed eight goals in their last three home games, they’ve only managed to pot three themselves. San Jose No. 1 netminder Martin Jones (8-5-1) is expected between the pipes after giving up two goals on 30 shot attempts to Anaheim in his latest action. I think he’ll be a difference maker today. This sets up as a classic letdown spot for the Coyotes as well. Arizona won three straight on the road in Eastern Canada and then returns home for its first game against a desperate team. The Coyotes most recently beat the Leafs 4-1 in Toronto. I believe the situation favors the desperate Sharks. I expect San Jose to finally find the back of the net tonight. Good luck…Larry |

11-21-17 | Oilers v. Blues -145 | Top | 3-8 | Win | 100 | 13 h 24 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the St. Louis Blues (8:05 EST). Edmonton enters off a 6-3 loss at Dallas, while St. Louis fell 4-3 in OT to the Canucks on the road. The Oilers rank just 27th in the league in scoring with 2.50 GPG, while ranked 23rd on the defensive end by conceding 3.15. Goaltender Cam Talbot is 7-11 with a 3.10 GAA this season, including only 3-5 with a 2.67 GAA on the road. The Blues rank seventh in the league in scoring with 3.24 GPG, while ranked fifth on the defensive side by conceding just 2.62. Goaltender Jake Allen is 11-6 with a 2.72 GAA on the year and 6-2 with a 2.45 GAA at home. I’ll point out as well that Edmonton is just 19-39 in its last 58 following a loss by three or more goals, while St. Louis is an amazing 42-12 in its last 54 against clubs with a winning percentage below .400. The Blues are top in the West right now with 31 points and they’re 7-2 at home. They have the better goaltender and much better overall offense. St. Louis is also the more skilled and deeper team. How is this line not a lot larger? We’ll make the books pay, lay the price with confidence on the Blues in this one. Good luck…Larry |

11-18-17 | Blackhawks v. Penguins -147 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -147 | 25 h 6 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Pittsburgh Penguins (7:05 EST). No need to overthink this one. Chicago annihilated the Penguins 10-1 on October 5th. It was the second game in as many nights for the Pens and it was the Hawks home opener. The night before Pittsburgh won in OT against the Blues in its opener. The Pens come in on top form, winning two in a row and going 3-1-1 in their last five. Since Oct. 29th Pittsburgh has allowed 23 goals over eight games, which works out to just 2.9 per contest. Note that Chicago is just 2-4 (-3.3 units) this year after a win by two goals or more, while Pittsburgh is already 7-2 (+4.8 units) this season against clubs with losing records. For all the reasons listed above, play on the Penguins. Good luck…Larry |

11-16-17 | Flyers v. Jets -130 | Top | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 26 h 26 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Winnipeg Jets (8:05 EST). Philadelphia looks primed for another letdown here in my opinion after dropping a 3-0 decision at Minnesota last time out, while I expect Winnipeg to build off its 4-1 home win over Arizona. After a huge start to the season, the Flyers predictably have come crashing back down to Earth. After leading the league in scoring in the early going, Philadelphia is now ranked 21st by averaging 2.76 GPG. The Flyers have remained solid defensively though, conceding 2.61. Goaltneder Brian Elliot is now 6-6 with a 2.59 GAA. The Jets are ranked tenth in the league in scoring, averaging 3.29 GPG, while ranked 11th on the defensive end in conceding 2.76 per contest. Goaltender Steve Mason has struggled to open the year, but he won’t be lacking in motivation in facing his former team. I’ll point out as well that Philadelphia is just 5-9 (-5.6 units) in non-conference games this season, while Winnipeg is 5-3 (+1.9 units) after scoring four goals or more in its previous contest. Winnipeg has allowed two goals or less in six of its last eight, while Philadelpia has been shutout in three of its last six outings. This is great value, play on the Jets. Good luck…Larry |

11-15-17 | Bruins v. Ducks -121 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 28 h 10 m | Show |
My 10* Situational Stunner is on the Anaheim Ducks (10:05 EST). Both teams come in on losing streaks. Boston has lost three straight, including a home and home set with Toronto most recently. After three days off, the Bruins now embark on a tough Western swing, also in LA tomorrow night, followed by contests at San Jose and then back over to the East Coast for a difficult matchup with the Devils. Anaheim has lost five of its last six, most recently a 2-1 setback at home to Tampa Bay. But with three whole nights off after this contest, before a game at home against the Panthers, it’s now or never for the Ducks to get off the schneid. These teams are in fact pretty evenly matched right now. They’re getting inconsistent play across the board. In a situation like this, I always tend to side with the home team. But I’ll point out, Boston is in fact just 21-23 (-8 units) in its last 44 after a loss by two goals or more in its previous contest, while Anaheim is 23-15 (+4.9 units) in its last 38 after playing three consecutive home games. All things considered, I think this is a great price. Play on the Ducks. Good luck…Larry |

11-14-17 | Capitals v. Predators -133 | Top | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 25 h 49 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM in the Nashville Predators (8:05 EST). Both teams come in off extra frames victories, as Washignton won 2-1 in a shootout over Edmonton, while Nashville enters off a 5-4 OT victory over Pittsburgh. Washington has won five of its last six games, but is still ranked 19th in scoring by averaging 2.83 GPG. The Capitals have also been below average defensively in conceding 2.94 GPG. Goatlender Braden Holtby is 10-3 with a 2.35 GAA on the year. Nashville averages 2.75 GPG and concdeds 2.81. Goaltender Pekka Rinne is 8-4 with a 2.23 GAA. I’ll point out though that Washington is just 2-4 (-2.6 units) in its last six following a shootout victory in which it held its opponent to one goal or less in the win, while Nashville is already 4-1 (+3.4 units) this season after scoring four goals or more in its previous game. Both teams have been on a roll of late, but I don’t think that the home ice advantage can be overlooked in this particular matchup. I also like Rinne to outduel Holtby and for Nashville to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Lay the price. Good luck…Larry |

My 10* Oddsmaker’s Error is on the Dallas Stars (7:00 EST). Dallas comes in off a 5-0 home win over the Islanders and I look for it to keep that momentum roling here. Carolina enters off a crushing 4-3 OT loss at home to Chicago and I think it will stumble again. So far Dallas averages 2.94 GPG, while ranked first on the power play by converting 31.2 percent of it chances. The Stars have been decent defensively so far, allowing 2.69 GPG. Ben Bishop is now 7-4 with a 2.48 GAA on the year. Carolina averages 2.67 GPG, while allowing 2.73. Goaltender Scott Darling is 4-7 with a 2.49 GAA on the season (is 2-2 with a 2.93 GAA lifetime against Dallas.) I’ll point out as well that Dallas is 5-1 in its last six road games against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400, while Carolina is a poor 1-4 in it last five in the third game of a 3-in-4 scenario. After a slow start, the Stars have turned things around, coming into this one having won four of their last six. The Hurricanes are struggling across the board and enter off a disheartening setback. I look for Bishop (who is 8-2 with a 1.89 ERA lifetime against Carolina) to outplay his counterpart and for the Stars to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Good luck…Larry |

11-12-17 | Lightning -143 v. Ducks | Top | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Tampa Bay Lightning (8:05 EST). The Lightning come in on fire, they’ve won three in a row, most recently a 5-2 win at LA. Anaheim enters off a 4-1 home victory over Vancouver. Tampa opened its Western trip with a victroy at San Jose. So far the Lightning own the No. 1 offense in the league, averaging 4.00 GPG, while ranked sixth on the defensive end in conceding just 2.59. Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskly is 12-2 with a 2.41 GAA, including 5-1 with a 2.35 GAA on the road. The Ducks average only 2.88 GPG, while conceding 2.94. Starting goaltender Ryan Miller was injured in the win over Vanvouver and he’s quesitonable for this one. John Gibson is already out with concussion. If Miller can’t go, it’ll be Reto Berra, who is 2-2 with a 2.00 GAA against Tampa lifetime. I’ll point out though that the Lightning are 8-2 in their last ten against clubs with losing records, while Anaheim is 2-8 in its last ten following a victory. I like Tampa to continue its hot play and to take advantage of Anaheim’s issue in the crease. Lay the price. Good luck…Larry |

11-11-17 | Jets -123 v. Coyotes | Top | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 28 h 32 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Winnipeg Jets (10:05 EST). The 8-3-3-0 Winnipeg Jets are in Arizona to takeon the 2-13-2-1 Coyotes and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the visitors. Winnipeg enters off a game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday, but has gotten solid play both on the road and at home this seaosn. Coming into Friday the team ranks 10th in scoring with 3.29 GPG, while ranked 11th on the defensive side in conceding just 2.86. The Coyotes return home off a dismal 0-1-2 road trip, ending with a disheartening 3-2 shootout loss to the Blues on Thursday. Arizona goaltender Antti Raanta is 1-3-2 with a 2.87 GAA this year. Jets’ backup Steve Mason is expected to get the start here and he’s sruggled so far this season. He’s also had his hands full with the Coyotes in the past. For arguments sake, I’m going to call the goaltenders a wash. However, Winnipeg’s vastly superior offense is the difference maker here for me. All things considered a great price, play on Winnipeg. Good luck…Larry |

11-08-17 | Lightning v. Sharks -112 | Top | 5-1 | Loss | -112 | 29 h 39 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the San Jose Sharks (10:35 EST). The 11-4 Tampa Bay Lightning are in San Jose to take on the 8-5 Sharks and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the home side. Both teams enter off victories, with the Lightning winning 5-4 in a shootout at home over Columbus, while the Sharks won 3-1 at home in a shotout over the Ducks in their latest action. Tampa averages 3.87 GPG and concedes 2.83. Goaltender Andrei Vasilevskly is 11-2 with a 2.52 GAA on the year for the Bolts. The Sharks average 2.69 GPG and concede 2.31. Goaltender Martin Jones stopped 25 of 26 shots in his team’s latest victory to move to 7-3 with a 1.98 GAA on the year. I’ll point out that Tampa is just 26-63 in its last 89 road games against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, while San Jose is 10-4 in its last 14 against the Eastern Conference. As good as Vasilevskly has been this year, he’s still just 3-6 with a 2.77 GA lifetime against the Pacific. Jones is 2-0 with a 1.50 GAA lifetime against the Lightning. I look for Jones to continues his hot play and I like the Sharks to do just enough offensively to eek out the vicotry here. Good luck…Larry |

11-07-17 | Panthers v. Hurricanes -145 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 25 h 2 m | Show | |
My 8* Las Vegas Insider is on the Carolina Hurricanes (7:05 EST). The 4-7-1-1 Florida Panthers are in Carolina to take on the 4-5-2-1 Hurricanes and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the home side. Florida has lost four straight, most recently a 5-4 OT setback to the Rangers on Saturday. Roberto Luongo let in five goals on 44 shots. So far Luongo is 1-2-1 with a 3.83 GAA. Florida averages 3.62 GPG, while allosing 4.23 (the worst in the league.) Carolina averages 2.58 GPG and allows 2.92. Cam Ward is 1-2-0 with a 3.39 GAA. The Hurricanes will be especially motivated here after a 2-1 shootout loss to lowly Arizona in their last outing. Note as well that Florida is a poor 24-28 (-7.9 units) in its last 52 after scoring four goals or more in its previous contest (including just 1-4, -3.7 units this year), while Carolina is 3-1 (+1.7 units) in its last four after scoring one goal or less and losing in a shootout in its previous contest. Carolina takes advantage of familiar surroundings and finds a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Lay the price, play on the Hurricanes. Good luck…Larry |

The 7-3-3 Winnipeg Jets are in Dallas to take the 8-6 Stars and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the home side. Winnipeg comes in off a 5-4 OT loss to the Habs on Saturday, while Dallas enters off a big 5-1 win at home over Bufallo. Note that this is an immediate “revenge” game for the home side after it fell 5-2 in Winnipeg just last week. The Jets had their three game win streak snapped last time out and I think they’re going to have a letdown here as well. So far the Jets average 3.2 GPG. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck owns a 7-0-2 record with a 2.24 GAA. Dallas averages just 2.9 GPG, but it looked a lot better in the offensive explosion against the Sabres. Ben Bishop will get the nod for the visitors, so far he owns a solid 2.66 GAA and .913 save percentage over 11 games played. Also note that Dallas has been above average defensively overall this year conceding 2.8 GPG, ranked ninth in the league. Additionally I’ll point out that WInninpeg is interestingly just 1-4 in its last five after its opponent nets five or more goals in its previous contest, while Dallas is 4-1 in its last five when playing on one days rest. This is a great spot to pull the trigger on the revenge-minded and in my opinion, undervalued home side. Play on the Stars. Good luck…Larry |

11-04-17 | Penguins v. Canucks OVER 5.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 27 h 35 m | Show | |
My 8* O/U Las Vegas Insider is on the over Penguins/Canucks (10:05 EST). The Canucks won four in a row, but have since dropped two straight. The Pens can empathize, they’ve lost three of their last four, most recently falling to Calgary in OT. With both teams looking to break out of their respective “funks,” I’m expecting a fast-paced, wide-open “shootout” this evening. Pittsburgh is going to be especially motivated here, as the 2-1 OT setback in Calgary marked the fourth time in its last five road games in which it’s managed to net just one goal. I’ll point out though that the defending champs have seen the total go over the number in 11 of their last 16 after playing three consecutive road games, while the Canucks have seen the total eclipse the posted number in 31 of their last 56 non-conference contests. With each team pushing the pace and desperate for a win, everything points to this one going over sooner rather than later. Play the over. Good luck…Larry |

11-02-17 | Canadiens v. Wild -134 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
My 8* Weekly Wipeout Winner is on the Minnesota Wild (8:05 EST). The 4-7-1 Montreal Canadiens are in Minnesota to take on the 4-4-2 Wild and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the home side. Montreal comes in off wins over the Rangers and Sens and looks primed for a letdown here in my opinion. Conversely, the Wild just had their two game win skein snapped with a loss to Winnipeg on Tuesday. Clearly the Habs weren’t as bad as their early struggles indicated. That said, after two straight victories, everything points to a letdown spot for Montreal, as note that it’s a poor 22-39 (-23.2 units) in its last 61 non-conference games, including 0-5 (-5.8 units) this year. The Wild on the other hand are 4-2 (+2 units) in their last six after playing three consecutive home games. Additionally I’ll point out that Montreal is just 1-5 in its last six on the road, while Minnesota is 11-4 in its last 15 home games against teams with a road winning percentage under .400. Minnesota is tied for the fewest goals allowed in the Central and I think the Habs are going to find it difficult to muster much of an offensive attack this evening. All things considered, I feel this is a great price. Play on Minnesota. Good luck…Larry |

11-01-17 | Flyers v. Blackhawks -133 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 27 h 10 m | Show | |
My 8* Las Vegas Insider is on the Chicago Blackhawks (8:05 EST). The Philadelphia Flyers are in Chicago to take on the Blackhawks on Wednesday night and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the hungry home side. Chicago has lost five of six, while the Flyers fell 4-3 in OT at Arizona on Monday. So far the Flyers rank eighth in scoring with 3.42 GPG, while ranked 13th on the defensive end in condeding 2.92. The Hawks average 3.17 GPG and concede 2.83. In Chicago’s lastest two losses, it’s actually outshot its competition 86-58. The bounces haven’t gone the Hawks way yet this year, but I think that changes tonight. As note that the Flyers are just 9-24 in their last 33 on the road and just 1-4 in their last five against the Western Conference, while Chicago is 5-2 in its last seven against the Eastern Conference. I’ll also point out that the home side has won eight of the last nine in this series. I’m banking on the hungry Hawks taking advantage of familiar surroundings and to find a way to get back into the winners circle once it’s all said and done. Play on the Blackhawks. Good luck…Larry |

10-30-17 | Maple Leafs +100 v. Sharks | Top | 2-3 | Loss | -100 | 29 h 8 m | Show |
My 10* Situational Stunner is on the Toronto Maple Leafs (10:35 EST). I had a play on the Flyers in their 4-2 upset win in Toronto on Saturday. After a blistering and unsustainable start to the season, the Leafs now look to get back on track and a date on the road away from the spot light in Toronto is just what the doctor ordered in my opinion. San Jose was 3-2 on its Eastern road swing, most recently getting the better of Buffalo 3-2 on Saturday. To say this is a “revenge” game would be a bit of an understatement as well as the Sharks have taken nine straight in the series, including a 3-1 victory in the most recent matchup in San Jose back on February 28th. Despite their recent struggles, the Leafs are still ranked as the No. 1 offense with 4.1 GPG this year. The defense is conceding 3.6 GPG. A big part of the Toronto’s early success has been on special teams, as the Leafs are ranked 6th in the league on the power play, and ninth on the penalty kill. Goaltender Frederik Andersen had 26 saves in the loss to Philadelphia on the weekend. San Jose is ranked 22nd in the league with 2.7 GPG, while ranked seventh on the defensive end in conceding 2.6. The Sharks have also been sharp with special teams play, ranking in the Top 10 on both the power play and the penalty kill. Aaron Dell had 31 saves for San Jose in the win over Buffalo. The Sharks though have struggled in this spot for a whle now, going just 1-6 in their last seven following a victory. Additionally I’ll point out that Toronto is 4-0 its last four against the Western Conference. I think San Jose has a letdown here in its first game back from the road, while Toronto gets back on track with a much more solid defensive effort. All things considered, this is great overall value. Good luck…Larry |

10-28-17 | Flyers +144 v. Maple Leafs | 4-2 | Win | 144 | 24 h 3 m | Show | |
My 8* Oddsmaker’s Error is on the Philadelphia Flyers (7:05 EST). Both teams come in off losses. Both teams will be hungry, but I think the Leafs’ blistering start to the year has put added pressure onto them and I believe continued regression is imminent. The Flyers most recently fell 5-4 in Ottawa, while the Leafs lost 6-3 at home to the Hurricanes. Philadelphia is averaging 3.40 GPG and conceding just 2.90. Goaltender Michael Neuvirth will get the nod in net tonight and he’s 9-6 with a 2.84 GAA lifetime against the Leafs. Toronto is averaging 4.30 GPG (an unsustainable number) and allowing 3.60 (more realistic.) Frederik Andersen is 6-3 with a 3.54 GAA on the year and is 6-0 with a 2.60 GAA lifetime against the Flyers. Neuvirth can match Andersen and the Flyers offense is once again firing on all cylinders. I expect Toronto to have another letdown here. Great value, play on the Flyers. Good luck…Larry |

10-27-17 | Blues +103 v. Hurricanes | 2-1 | Win | 103 | 25 h 55 m | Show | |
My 8* Las Vegas Insider is on the St. Louis Blues (7:35 EST). Carolina comes in off a satisfying 6-3 win in Toronto just last night an suffice it to say, I think it’s going to have a letdown here in the second game of the back-to-back. St. Louis lost 3-2 to Vegas in OT last Saturday, but then most recently bounced back with a convincing 5-2 win at home over the Flames. Alex Steen had four points, with a goal and three assists. Blues’ goaltender Jake Allen is 5-2-1 with a 2.70 GAA and .912 save percentage. And he’s been fantastic against the Hurricanes, going 3-1-0 with a 2.04 GAA and .927 save percentage lifetime. Note that so far St. Louis averages 3.30 GPG and concedes 2.60. Carolina averges 2.43 GPG and allows 3.00. Goaltender Cam Ward will likely get the call here after Scott Darling went last night. Ward has done well against St. Louis in the past, but sports an ugly 3.00 GAA in the early going this year. I’ll point out as well that St. Louis is 23-7 in its last 30 road games against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400, while Carolina is just 1-5 in its last six at home. No need to overthink this one. St. Louis comes in focused and Allen is on absolute fire right now. The Hurricanes have been all over the map as far as their game-to-game consistency is concerned in the early going and they’re off a hugely satisfying road victory just last night. In my professional opinion, this is the very definition of “great line value.” Play on St. Louis. Good luck…Larry |

10-26-17 | Hurricanes v. Maple Leafs -148 | 6-3 | Loss | -148 | 27 h 14 m | Show | |
My 8* Weekly Wipeout Winner is on the Toronto Maple Leafs (7:05 EST). The 3-4 Carolina Hurricanes are in Toronto to take on the surging 7-2 Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night and in my opinion, all signs point to a comfortable victory for the home side. Carolina enters off a 5-1 home loss to Tampa Bay, while Toronto comes in off a 3-2 home win over the LA Kings. So far the Hurricanes are ranked 28th in the league in scoring with 2.43 GPG. Jeff Skinner leads the way with five goals, but no one else on the team has more than two. Scott Darling is expected in net for the visitors and he’s 2-4 with a 2.64 GAA so far this year, including 1-2 with a 2.39 GAA on the road. Toronto ranks No. 1 offensively with 4.44 GPG, while ranked 22nd in goals allowed with 3.33. Frederik Anderson is 6-2 with a 3.24 GAA thus far. Keep your eyes on Leafs’ superstar Auston Matthews, who leads the team in scoring with seven goals and 12 points overall. I’ll point out that Carolina has struggled in this spot for a while now, just 22-28 (-4.6 units) in its last 50 after scoring one goal or less in its previous contest, while Toronto has dominated in this spot by going 21-14 (+7.6 units) in its last 35 when playing with two days rest. I have a hard time seeing the Leafs “looking past” Carolina at this point of the season. In fact, this is a golden opportunity for Toronto to continue to progress. In my professional opinion, this line could easily be a lot larger. Play on the Leafs. Good luck…Larry |

10-24-17 | Flames v. Predators -137 | 3-2 | Loss | -137 | 24 h 21 m | Show | |
My 8* PERFECT STORM is on the Nashville Predators (8:05 EST). I think home ice will prove to be a major advantage for the Predators tonight. After a slow start, Nashville comes into this one with considerable moemntum, having won four of its last six and eager to return to the winners circle after falling to the Rangers on Saturday. Calgary has dropped two in a row and looks primed for a letdown here as well in my opinion. Nashville is in fact still unbeaten at home this year. That’s bad news for Sean Monahan and the Flames today. Monahan has scored a goal in five of his last six games. The Predators’ Fliip Forsberg had a goal in the 4-2 loss to the Rangers. For arguments sakes though, I’m going to call the goaltenders a “wash.” I will however point out that Calgary is a poor 2-4 (-1.7 units) in its last six after allowing four goals or more, while Nashville is 28-21 (+3.2 units) in its last 49 after a loss by two goals or more. So far the Preds have allowed only 21 goals this year, tied for fewest in the Western Conference. All things considered, I feel we’re getting a great price on the proven home side. Play on Nashville. Good luck…Larry |

10-21-17 | Maple Leafs v. Senators +102 | 3-6 | Win | 102 | 23 h 49 m | Show | |
My 8* Situational Stunner is on the Ottawa Senators (7:05 EST). If you believe the media in Toronto, you’d think that the Leafs have already won the Stanley Cup. There’s no doubt that Toronto has looked great in the early going, but I think the Leafs finally stumble here against the determined Senators. Toronto most recently beat Detroit 6-3, while Ottawa is off a 5-4 loss to New Jersey in OT. The Leafs are currently ranked No. 1 in the league in scoring at 4.86 GPG. Clearly this level is not sustainable though and I think we can start to see some “correction” happening sooner, rather than later. Defensively Toronto lacks, allowing 3.14 GPG. Ottawa has also been good offensively, so far averaging 3.29 GPG. The Senators though have been even better defensively, ranked third overall in conceding just 2.29 GPG. I’ll point out as well that the Leafs have struggled in this spot for bettors, going just 7-15 in their last 22 road games against a team with a winning percentage of .400 or less, while the Sens have excelled in this position by going 35-29 (+8.2 units) in their last 54 after allowing four goals or more in their previous contest. After back-to-back home losses, I like the Senators to bounce back here behind strong goaltending from Craig Anderson (who is 13-9 in his career against the Leafs) and I look for Toronto to finally stumble after a great start to the 2017/18 campaign. Play on Ottawa. Good luck…Larry |

10-20-17 | Canadiens +109 v. Ducks | Top | 2-6 | Loss | -100 | 12 h 7 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Montreal Canadiens (10:05 EST). Ultimately I believe that Montreal is the “hungrier/more desperate” team tonight. Neither side can be very happy where it sits right now. That said, the panic button has already been pressed in Montreral as it limps into Anaheim with a 1-5-1 record. The Ducks can empathize, as they enter this one at 2-3-1. Montreal most recently fell 5-2 to San Jose on Tuesday, which came after falling 5-1 to the Kings the night before. The Habs enter desperate on the heels of a six-game slide. Goaltender Carey Price is just 1-4-1 with a 3.56 GAA this year. So far the Canadiens average just 1.43 GPG, while allowing 3.86. The Ducks lost their second straight and fourth in their last five in a 3-1 setback to the Sabres on Sunday. Anaheim would go 0 for 4 on the power play. Ryan Getzlaf was injured and didn’t play and he’s not suiting up for this one either (if he does play, he’ll be less than 100% capacity obviously. Also note that Ryan Kesler is out for the Ducks as well.) Goaltender John Gibson is 2-2-1 with a 2.66 GAA thus far. I’ll point out though that Montreal is 11-3 in its last 14 following a loss by three or more goals, while Anaheim is just 1-5 in its last six home games against a team with a road winning percentage below .400. Note that Patrick Eaves is also listed as questionable for the home side tonight. Also note that while these teams rarely meet, this is still a revenge game for the Habs, as they’ve lost five straight in the series. Price hasn’t forgotten how to play and the Canadiens are not really as bad as what they’ve shown over the last couple of weeks. I’m banking on the desperate visiting side to risk life and limb tonight and to take this one down to the wire. Play on Montreal. Good luck…Larry |

10-19-17 | Islanders v. Rangers -130 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -130 | 26 h 40 m | Show |
My 10* BLOWOUT GAME OF THE MONTH is on the New York Rangers (7:05 EST). The 2-4 New York Islanders are at the 1-6 New York Rangers on Thursday night and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the home side. The Islanders enter off a 3-2 road loss to LA, while the Rangers come in off a 5-4 setback at home in OT to the Penguins. So far the Isles are ranked 21st in the NHL in scoring with 2.50 GPG, while ranked 17th in goals allowed with 2.83. Thomas Greiss is getting the call in net and he’s so far 1-2 with a 3.07 GAA. The Rangers are averaging 2.43 GPG and allowing 2.71. Henrik Lundqvist is back after falling to Pittsburgh and so far he’s 1-4 with a 3.23 GAA on the year (note that he owns a lifetime 2.22 GAA at Madison Square Garden though.) Additionally I’ll point out that the Isles are just 1-5 in tehir last six road games against a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400, while the Rangers are 54-26 in their last 80 home games against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. This is the third game of a six game home stand for the Rangers, so there’s no question that the overall scheduling is in their favor, with the Islanders just finishing transitioning back from the West coast. I think the Rangers are the “hungrier” team here and all things considered, I do indeed believe this to be the very definition of “great line value.” Play on the Rangers. Good luck…Larry |

10-17-17 | Penguins v. Rangers -101 | 5-4 | Loss | -101 | 30 h 49 m | Show | |
My 8* Situational Stunner is on the New York Rangers (7:05 EST). The 3-2-1 Pittsburgh Penguins are in New York to take on the desperate 1-5 New York Rangers and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the hungry home side. The Pens come to The Big Apple off a 4-3 home win over Florida, while the Rangers fell 3-2 at home to the Devils. Pittsburgh has won three of its last four and is averaging 3.33 GPG, while conceding 4.17. Clearly the season is still young and the Pens are going to improve dramatically on the defensive side of the ice once it’s all said and done, but so far in the early going it hasn’t been great for the two time defending champs. Goaltender Matt Murray is 3-1 with a 3.29 GAA. New York has so far averaged just 2.17 GPG, while allowing 3.50. Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist will get the call in net and he owns a lifetime 2.47 GAA against Pittsburgh. I’ll point out though that Pittsburgh is just 2-5 in its last seven road games, while New York is 54-25 in its last 79 home games against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. The Pens may have owned this series of late, but the Rangers are unquestionably the “hungrier” team in this one. I think the desperation in which they play with tonight will in the end prove to be the difference. Play on New York. Good luck…Larry |

10-14-17 | Bruins -130 v. Coyotes | Top | 6-2 | Win | 100 | 31 h 9 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Boston Bruins (9:05 EST). The 1-2 Boston Bruins are in Arizona to take on the 0-3-1 Coyotes on Saturday night. Boston enters off a 6-3 road loss to Colorado, while Arizona fell 4-2 to Detroit in its last outing. Tuukka Rask will get the call in net for Boston and he’ll be looking to reverse his early fortunes, as so far he’s allowed ten goals on the season. Rask is one of the best goaltenders on the planet though and it’s only a matter of time until he returns to form (was 37-20-5 with a 2.23 GAA last season.) Arizona could go with either Antti Raanta or Louis Dominique in net. Both have struggled this season, as Raanta has a 3.33 GAA and Dominique has allowed two goals in eight periods of action. I think it’s interesting to note that Boston is 25-14 (+7.4 units) in its last 39 games played on Saturday, while Arizona is just 18-25 (-2.3 units) in its last 43 in the same position. I like Rask to bounce back and to easily outduel whoever Arizona goes with this evening. And that’s going to be more than enough to tip the scales in favor of the Bruins today in my opinion. Play on Boston. Good luck…Larry |

10-13-17 | Ducks v. Avalanche +102 | 1-3 | Win | 102 | 31 h 18 m | Show | |
My 8* Las Vegas Insider is on the Colorado Avalanche (9:00 EST). The 2-1-1 Anaheim Ducks are in Colorado to take on the 3-1 Avalanche and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the home side. Anaheim bounced back from a pair of losses to beat the Islanders at home on Wednesday, while the Avs come off back-to-back wins over the Boston Bruins. Nail Yakupov scored three goals in the home and home set for the Avs. Jonahtan Bernier will get the call in net to face his former team. I think it’s very intersting to note though that Anaheim is just 13-17 (-12.8 units) in its last 30 games that are played on a Friday, while Colorado is 10-5 (+9.5 units) in its last 15 Friday night contests. The Avs hit the road for a two game swing starting tomorrow night in Dallas, making this evening’s contest that much more important. Colorado isn’t getting nearly enough respect in this spot. Great value, play on the Avalanche. Good luck…Larry |

10-12-17 | Wild +130 v. Blackhawks | Top | 5-2 | Win | 130 | 29 h 51 m | Show |
My 10* Situational Stunner is on the Minnesota Wild (8:30 EST). The 0-1-0-1 Minnesota Wild will be eager to get off the schneid and score the upset against the 3-0-1-0 Blackhawks on Thursday night. The Wild most recently fell 5-4 at Carolina in a shootout, while the Blackhawks come in off a 3-1 road win over the Habs. This is a revenge scenario for Minnesota as well after dropping three of four meetings last year. Wild goaltender Devan Dubnyk was 40-24 with a 2.25 GAA last season, including 17-13 with a 2.37 GAA. Last year Minnesota was ranked third in scoring with 3.21 GPG, while ranked seventh in goals allowed by conceding 2.51. The Blackhawks were ranked second in the league in scoring last season with 3.25 GPG, while ranked fourth in goals allowed in conceding 1.75. Goaltender Corey Crawford is off to a hot start, he’s 10-10 with a 2.48 GAA lifetime against the Wild. I’ll point out though that Minnesota 32-24 (+2.7 units) in its last 56 after scoring four goals or more in its previous contest, while Chicago is interestingly just 4-6 (-2.9 units) in its last ten against the division. I think the “hungrier” and clearly underachieving Wild find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Good luck…Larry |

10-11-17 | Bruins -129 v. Avalanche | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -129 | 28 h 48 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Boston Bruins (9:35 EST). The 1-1 Boston Bruins invade Colorado to take on the 2-1 Avalanche and for a number of different reasons, I think this one favors the visitors. Note that this is the second game of a home and home set, with the Avs taking the first one in Boston by a score of 4-0. The B’s had 29 shots in that game, but weren’t able to get one past Semyon Varlamov. Boston turns to goaltender Tuukka Rask, who gave up three goals on 22 attempts. Rask was 17-14 with a 2.41 GAA on the road last year. He’s only 1-6 against the Avs throughout his career, despite posting a very respectable 2.00 GAA. Last season the Bruins averaged 2.83 GPG, while ranked 9th on the defensive end in conceding 2.55. The Avs averaged just 2.01 GPG last year, while ranked 30th in goals allowed in conceding 3.37. Last season Varlamov was 3-10 with a 3.34 GAA at home. I’ll point out though that Boston is 9-2 in its last 11 against the Western Conference, while Colorado is just 6-21 in its last 27 following a victory. Boston did well on the road last year and plays with revenge. Colorado has started nicely, but was an atrocious home team last season. Revenge is a powerful motivating factor and it’s one which I believe will prove to be the difference maker for the visitors tonight. Play on the Bruins. Good luck…Larry |

10-10-17 | Blue Jackets +108 v. Hurricanes | Top | 2-1 | Win | 108 | 27 h 48 m | Show |
This is a 10* SITUATIONAL STUNNER on the Columbus Blue Jackets (7:00 EST). Columbus won its opener 5-0 over the Islanders and then played in Chicago the following night and got hammered 5-1. CBJ starting goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky will be back between the pipes tonight after getting the game off against the Blackhawks. Last season Bobrovsky was 41-22 with a 2.06 GAA (including 16-13 with a 2.33 GAA on the road.) Note that he’s 8-5 with a 2.21 GAA lifetime against Carolina. Last year the Blue Jackets ranked sixth in the league in scoring with an average of 3.01 GPG, while ranked second defensively in conceding just 2.35 GPG. Carolina comes in off a 5-4 shootout win over the Wild. In net for the home side is Scott Darling, who was 18-20 with a 2.38 GAA with Chicago last season. This is his first career start against Columbus. Last year Carolina was ranked 20th in scoring with 2.59 GPG ,while ranked 18th in goals allowed with 2.80 per contest. I’ll point out that the Blue Jackets are a superb 13-3 in their last 16 when playing on two days rest, while the Hurricanes are just 1-6 in their last seven home games against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400. As good as Darling has been, I’m still giving the nod in net to Bobrovsky. I’ll give the edge to the Blue Jackets offensively as well. All things considered, I think this is great value. Play on Columbus. Good luck…Larry |

10-09-17 | Capitals v. Lightning UNDER 5.5 | Top | 3-4 | Loss | -107 | 13 h 1 m | Show |
The third 10* pick of my Superstar Triple Play is on the under Capitals/Lightning. I base my selections on many different things. Sometimes it’s all about the players on the acutal field (or ice in this case.) Other times though it’s about scheduling, the overall situation each team finds itself in coming into a contest, or even strong or lop-sided trends. In this case I simply feel this is a great spot to pull the trigger on the under. Washington has opened the season with back-to-back high-scoring victories, beating Ottawa 5-4 in a shootout on Opening Night, before a convincing 6-1 win at home over Montreal on Saturday. With a matchup against rival Pittsburgh at home on Wednesday, this one does indeed set up as a “trap” game for the Capitals in many respects. Tampa also comes in off back-to-back high-scoring games to open the season, beating the Panthers at home 5-3 on Opening Nght, before then falling 5-4 in Florida the following night. With three whole days off after this game, before a meeting at home against the Penguins on Friday, this also does set up as a bit of a trap for the home side as well. While I’m expecting a very competitive affair, I think it’ll be the starting goaltenders which are the mainy story lines in tomorrow’s summaries. These teams feature high-powered offenses, but they’re also backed by some of the best goaltending on the planet. A great overall “situational” play. Play the under. Good luck…Larry |

10-09-17 | Blackhawks v. Maple Leafs UNDER 6.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
The second 8* pick of my Superstar Triple Play is on the under Hawks/Leafs (7:05 EST). I base my selections on many different things. Sometimes it’s all about the players on the acutal field (or ice in this case.) Other times though it’s about scheduling, the overall situation each team finds itself in coming into a contest, or even strong or lop-sided trends. In this case I simply feel this is a great spot to pull the trigger on the under. The Blackhawks come in off two wild, high-scoring affairs to open the season, clobbering the Penguins 10-1, before then smashing Columbus 5-1. Now Chicago transitions for its first road trip of the season and can’t help itself in “looking ahead” to its game in Montreal tomorrow night. The Leafs have also opened the season with back-to-back blowout victories, handling Winnipeg 7-2 on the road and then beating the Rangers 8-5 at home on Saturday night. While I’m expecting a very competitive affair, I think it’ll be the starting goaltenders which are the mainy story lines in tomorrow’s summaries. These teams feature high-powered offenses, but they’re also backed by some of the best goaltending on the planet. A great overall “situational” play. Play the under. Good luck…Larry |

10-09-17 | Devils v. Sabres -126 | 6-2 | Loss | -126 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
The first 8* pick of my Superstar Triple Play is on the Buffalo Sabres (3:05 EST). I base my selections on many different things. Sometimes it’s all about the players on the acutal field (or ice in this case.) Other times though it’s about scheduling, the overall situation each team finds itself in coming into a contest, or even strong or lop-sided trends. In this case I simply feel this is a great spot for 0-2 Buffalo to finally get off the schneid. The Devils are off a satisfying 4-1 Opening Night win over the Avalanche and I think they’ll get caught “looking past” the lowly Sabres today, with upcoming games on Wednesday at Toronto and then at home against Washington on Friday. Buffalo on the other hand has three whole nights off after this before an extended West Coast road trip. For all intents and purposes and at this early stage of the season, this has almost become a “must win” game for Buffalo. As metioned off the top, I think this is a great situational play. Play on the Sabres. Good luck…Larry |

10-07-17 | Kings v. Sharks -122 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -122 | 31 h 45 m | Show |
The third 10* pick of my Superstar Triple Play is on the San Jose Sharks (10:30 EST). LA beat the Flyers 2-0 on Thursday. The night before Philadelphia was in San Jose beating the Sharks 5-3. San Jose started off slowly in that one and was never able to dig itself out of the early hole, but with a night off to re-focus, I like the Sharks to bounce back. LA was ranked just 25th in the league in scoring last year with 2.43 GPG and it’s hard to judge exactly where the offense is at after the game against the Flyers. The Kings were solid defensively in conceding just 2.45 GPG and the defense will once again be a strength of the team with goaltender Jon Quick between the pipes. The Sharks averaged 2.67 GPG last year, while conceding 2.44 (ranked 5th). Martin Jones looked uncharacteristically shaky in net on Opening night, but there’s no reason not to think that he’ll bounce back in fine fashion himself (note that he is 6-4 with a 2.19 GAA lifetime against LA.) I’ll point out that the Kings are a terrible 6-10 (-7.8 units) in their last 16 after shutting out their opponent in their prevous game, while the Sharks are a superb 28-13 (+13 units) in their last 41 after a loss by two goals or more in their previous game. For all the reasons listed above, play on San Jose. Good luck…Larry |

10-07-17 | Jets v. Flames -140 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 30 h 15 m | Show | |
The second 8* pick of my Superstar Triple Play is on the Calgary Flames (10:00 EST). The 0-1 Jets are in Calgary to take on the 0-1 Flames. Here’s another one where I feel that the “home ice advantage” will in the end prove to be the pivotal deciding factor. The Jets lost 7-2 at home to the Leafs, while the Flames fell 3-0 in Edmonton. Winnipeg was a decent offensive team last year, averaging 3.00 GPG, but it was lousy on the defensive end in conceding 3.11. It doesn’t appear as if the Jets’ defense will be much better this season. Goaltender Steve Mason allowed five goals on 20 shots. Note that last year Mason was 9-16 with a 2.84 GAA on the road. Calgary averaged 2.71 GPG, and conceded 2.67. Mike Smith stopped 42 of 45 shots in the opening night loss, but his offense was unable to provide him any support. I’ll point out though that Winnipeg is just 3-8 in its last 11 after scoring two goals or less in its previous contest, while Calgary is 8-1 in its last nine when playing on two days rest. For all the reasons listed above, play the Flames. Good luck…Larry |
|||||||
10-07-17 | Canadiens v. Capitals -135 | 1-6 | Win | 100 | 27 h 21 m | Show | |
The first 8* pick of my Superstar Triple Play is on the Washington Capitals (7:00 EST). A couple of 1-0 teams collide on Saturday night. These clubs are expected to be contending for the Eastern Conference title at the end of the season, but I think the home ice advantage is a very real factor in this particular matchup. Montreal needed OT to beat the Sabres 3-2 in a shootout in its opener, while Washington also prevailed 5-4 in a shootout over Ottawa on Thursday. Washington took two of three in the season series last year, but it was the road side that prevailed in each meeting. Certainly that’s added motivation for the Capitals tonight. I’ll point out as well that Montreal is just 2-5 in its last seven when playing on one days rest, while Washington is 4-0 in its last four home games against a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600. With a tough game at the Rangers tomorrow night, I think the Habs get caught looking ahead. All things considered, I feel this is a great price. Play on the Capitals. Good luck…Larry |
|||||||
10-06-17 | Golden Knights v. Stars -1.5 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -100 | 26 h 38 m | Show |
My 10* PUCK-LINE GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Dallas Stars (8:30 EST). I think the talent and chemistry level discrepancies on the ice tonight absolutely justifies in laying the 1.5 goals for the small “plus-money” return. The Golden Knights make their NHL debut and they’ll have Marc Andre Fleury in net. James Neal from the Predators is also one of the main stars of the team. Note though that Neal is listed as quetionable for this one, so if he does play, it will likely be at under 100% capacity. Overall the offense looks decent for the Knights, but clearly the team will need some time to build chemistry. Calvin Pickard is Fleury’s backup. Dallas missed the postseason last year, after finishing with the most points in the West the year before. The Stars added Alexander Radulov, who had 18 goals for the Habs last season. Ben Bishop was 18-20 with a 2.54 GAA for the Lightning and Kings last year and no doubt is a big upgrade between the pipes for Dallas on the whole. There will be on complacency or mercy from the Stars tonight after their dismal season in 2016/17. Here’s the perfect opponent to get untracked against. The book is still clearly out on the Vegas Knights, who I expect will stumble and throw up the white flag early in this one. Play on Dallas on the puck-line. Good luck…Larry |

10-05-17 | Wild v. Red Wings +122 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 122 | 30 h 30 m | Show |
The third 10* pick of my Superstar Triple Play is on the Detroit Red Wings (7:30 EST). The Red Wings open their season in their brand new state of the art building, the Little Caesars Arena and I think the home side will ride the wave of emotion to a solid victory. Minnesota went out in the first round in five games to St. Louis last year. Goaltender Devan Dubnyk was 40-19-5 with a 2.25 GAA. He’s 4-2-4 with a 2.68 GAA lifetime against Detroit. The Red Wings missed the playoffs last year, which is a rarity. Jimmy Howard gets the call in net for the home side, he was 10-11-1 with a 2.10 GAA last season. He’s been dominant against the Wild throughout his career going 13-3-3 with a 2.16 GAA. After winning just 17 home games at Joe Louis last year, you can bet that the proud Red Wings will be looking tor a much better performance in their new arena this time around. I’ll point out as well that Minnesota is just 3-7 in its last ten on the road, while Detroit is 20-7 in its last 27 against the Wild at home. All signs point to the slight home dog as the correct call here. Good luck…Larry |

10-05-17 | Canadiens v. Sabres +112 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 30 h 50 m | Show | |
The first 8* pick of my Superstar Triple Play is on the Buffalo Sabres (7:00 EST). Montreal won the Atlantic last season, while Buffalo was last in the conference. These teams split a pair of games last year though. The Habs would then go on to lose in six games in the first round to the Rangers. Defenseman Andrei Markov and Alexander Radulov are gone and Johanthan Drouin and Karl Alzner are in for Montreal now. Carey Price was 37-25 wiith a 2.33 GAA last year. Overall Montreal was 15th in scoring last season with 2.72 GPG, while ranked fourth in goals allowed with 2.41 GPG. Buffalo averaged 2.48 GPG, ranked 24th. It’s interesting to note though that the Sabres were No. 1 in power play conversion with 24.3 percent. Buffalo conceded 2.82 GPG, ranked 19th. Robin Lehner was 23-34 with a 2.68 GAA, including 13-19 with a 2.59 GAA at home. Over the long-term, Price gets the nod in net, but on Opening Night, I’m calling these goaltenders a wash. Buffalo looked strong against Montreal last year and has a big opportunity in front of the home town crowd. I expect the Sabres to ride the wave of emotion to a solid opening night victory. Good luck…Larry |

10-05-17 | Predators v. Bruins -118 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 30 h 50 m | Show | |
The second 8* pick of my Superstar Triple Play is on the Boston Bruins (7:00 EST). Nashville lost to Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup Final, while Boston lost in six games to Ottawa in the first round. There’s only one way the Predators can go this year in my opinion and that’s not up. Nashville’s run to the Cup was awesome, but regression does seem imminent. Note that the team lost Mike Fisher and James Neal. One big addition was Nick Bonino from the Penguins. Nashville ranked 11th in scoring last year with 2.90 GPG, while ranked 15th in goals allowed with 2.68. Goaltender Pekka Rinne was 31-28 with a 2.42 GAA last season. The Bruins were ranked 13th in scoring with 2.83 GPG, while ranked ninth in goals allowed in giving up 2.55 per contest. Tuukka Rask was 37-25 with a 2.33 GAA last year, including 20-11 with a 2.07 GAA at home. I think the goaltenders are clearly a “wash” on Opening Night. Home ice advantage can’t be overlooked as a very real factor though. I like Boston to take advantage and I expect Nashville to stumble. Good luck…Larry |
|||||||
10-04-17 | Flames v. Oilers -148 | Top | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 37 h 32 m | Show |
My 10* OPENING NIGHT PERFECT STORM is on the Edmonton Oilers (10:05 EST). At the start of any season you want to be a little bit cautious as you try to get a firm “read” on the teams. Certainly the NHL is no exception. Like the NFL and NBA, preseason NHL is not a good indicator whatsoever on how a team will perform once the regular season gets underway. For this pick I’m basing it mostly on common sense. With Connor McDavid leading the way, Edmonton has a very legitimate shot at a Stanley Cup run. The Oilers were one of the biggest surprises last year and there are big expectations in the “City Of Champions” this season as well. These teams played four times last season and the Oilers came out on top in each instance, winning 7-4 on October 12th, 5-3 on October 14th, 2-1 on January 14th and 7-3 on January 21st. Home ice advantage clearly can’t be taken for granted on Opening Night. The signing of Jaromir Jagr certainly didn’t make the Flames any younger or faster. All signs point to a rout. Lay the price. Good luck…Larry |

06-11-17 | Penguins v. Predators -135 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -135 | 57 h 26 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Nashville Predators (8:00 EST). I had a play on the Penguins in Game 5. So far the home side has won every game in this series and I’m fully expecting that pattern to continue tonight. Pens’ netminder Matt Murray has been great at home and atrocious on the road. The same can be said of Preds’ goalie Pekka Rinne as well though, as he’s been horrible in Pittsburgh, but almost unbeatable in Nashville. These are two teams which feed off the home crowd and there’s no doubt that Nashville is a tough arena to play in. And I’ll point out that this is a spot in which the Penguins have struggled in throughout the postseason, going a poor 6-7 (-1.2 units) when leading in a playoff series, while Nashville is 8-4 (+4 units) in its last 12 when trailing in a playoff series and 14-7 (+6 units) this year after scoring one goal or less in its previous outing. In my professional opinion, this is the very definition of “great line value.” Lay the price, play on the Predators. Good luck…Larry |

06-08-17 | Predators v. Penguins -140 | Top | 0-6 | Win | 100 | 54 h 46 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Pittsburgh Penguins (8:00 EST). I had a play on the “under” in Game 4, but for Game 5 I think the home side will find a way to get the job done. It was a cake-walk for the Penguins in Game’s 1 and 2, but the Predators turned the table and took advantage of home ice in Game’s 3 and 4. So far home ice advantage has been the difference in this series and I’m expecting this incredibly strong trend to continue. Let’s face it, neither team has looked great so far in the Finals. Pekka Rinne struggled in net in Pittsburgh, while Pens’ goaltender Matt Murray wasn’t his usual self in Nashville. The offenses have looked awesome at times and really average in others. I’ll also point out though that this is a spot in which the Predators have in fact struggled in mightily for bettors all season, going a poor 13-21 (-11.6 units) after scoring four goals or more in their previous contest, while the Penguins have excelled in this position by going 23-11 (+9.4 units) this year after allowing four goals or more. For all the reasons listed above, play on Pittsburgh. Good luck…Larry |

06-05-17 | Penguins v. Predators UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 32 h 10 m | Show |
This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the under Pens/Predators (8:00 EST). So far two of three in this series have flown above the posted number, but I think Game 4 sets up as more of a defensive affair. It was 1-0 for Pittsburgh after the first period in Game 3 and famous Canadian broadcaster Don Cherry would go on to claim that the Predators might not ever score another goal on Pens’ netminder Matt Murray in this series. Nashville would then go on to score three goals in the second period, en route to the 5-1 blowout. Predators’ netminder Pekka Rinne returned to form and the league’s No. 1 defense in the postseason looked fantastic after a shaky couple of games in Pittsburgh. Murray has all the tools and experience to bounce back himself though, so I’m not reading too much into one sub-par effort. The trends/numbers also support our play on the “under,” as note that Pittsburgh has seen the total go under the number in six of its last nine in the Stanley Cup Finals, while Nashville has seen the total go under in three of its last four after holding an opponent to one goal or less in its previous contest. For all the reasons listed above, play the under. Good luck…Larry |

06-03-17 | Penguins +119 v. Predators | Top | 1-5 | Loss | -100 | 57 h 40 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Pittsburgh Penguins (8:00 EST). I took Nashville in Game 1 and lost. I took the UNDER in Game 2 and won. I think that Pittsburgh offers fantastic value in this spot though as it will look to take a virtual strangle-hold on this series. Pittsburgh is “inside” Predators’ goaltender Pekka Rinne’s head. The Penguins only managed 15 shots in Game 1, but still won 5-3. Rinne had been the best goaltender in the playoffs and the Predators owned the stoutest overall defense, but the Pens have rattled the All-star netminder. And simply put, I don’t expecting anything to change tonight either. I’ll point out as well that Pittsburgh is 29-17 (+5.5 units) after scoring four goals or more in its previous game, while Nashville has struggled against teams from the Eastern Conference all year, going just 14-20 (-11.6 units) in all non-conference games. For all the reasons listed above, play on the the Penguins in Game 3. Godo luck…Larry |

05-31-17 | Predators v. Penguins UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 32 h 5 m | Show |
My 10* O/U PERFECT STORM is on the under Predators/Penguins (8:00 EST). I had a play on the Predators in Game 1 and obviously came up short. I’m going to steer clear of the side in this one and instead focus on the total. After the high-scoring 5-3 victory for the Penguins, I’m expecting a much more tightly checked/contested affair in Game 2 and I look for these all star goaltenders to be the main story lines in tomorrow’s summaries. Pittsburgh scored three goals in the first period and then tallied zero shots in the second period. Nashville scored once in the second period and then two more in the third to tie it 3-3, but then the champs bounced back and managed to pull away. What was up with Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne? He came into the Stanley Cup Final as the No. 1 goaltender, but he looked horrible, allowing the five goals on just 12 total shots. It was an unbelievably horrible night-mare outing for Rinne, but I am absolutely not reading too much into it. Despite the atrocious performance, he’s still 12-5 with a 1.83 GAA in the postseason. Pittsburgh was clearly “lucky” to win that game, considering it only had 12 shots on net. If the Pens only manage 12 shots tonight, I’d be surprised if they manage a single goal. Goaltender Matt Murray is 4-1 with a 1.62 GAA in the playoffs for the Penguins. I’ll point out as well that Nashville has seen the total go under the number in 12 of 21 following a loss by two goals or more in its previous contest, while Pittsburgh has seen the total dip below the posted number in five of its last seven in the Stanley Cup Final. For all the reasons listed above, play the under. Good luck…Larry |

05-29-17 | Predators +155 v. Penguins | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 27 m | Show | |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Nashville Predators (8:00 EST). I think a lot of sharps will be backing the defending champs today, but I think the value is on the upstart underdog Predators, who will look to steal one in Pittsburgh, just like the Senators did in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final. I had a play on Ottawa in that contest and I believe the Predators can duplicate that feat in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final. If the Penguins thought Craig Anderson was a good goaltender, then they haven’t seen anything yet. Nashville’s Pekka Rinne is 12-4 with a 1.70 GAA and .941 save percentage in the playoffs this year. The Predators are ranked third in the playoffs in scoring with 2.94 GPG, while ranked No. 1 on the defensive end in conceding just 1.81 per contest. Pittsburgh’s Matt Murray is 3-1 with a 1.35 GAA in the playoffs this year. The Penguins are ranked first in scoring in the postseason with an average of 3.05 GPG, while ranked fifth in goals allowed with 2.32 GPG. I think Nashville’s No. 1 ranked defense and red hot goaltender turn out to be the difference tonight though. Play on the Predators. Good luck…Larry |

05-25-17 | Senators v. Penguins OVER 5 | Top | 2-3 | Push | 0 | 35 h 17 m | Show |
My 10* O/U PERFECT STORM is on the over Senators/Penguins (8:00 EST). For the most part I’ve had a pretty good read on this series, although I did have a loser with the Penguins in Game 6. This has been a highly competitive series which has featured great goaltending at times and great offensive apptititude in others. The Senators’ Craig Anderson looked brilliant in Game 6, after getting destroyed 7-0 in Game 5. Pittsburgh has used both Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray in this series, but it’ll be Murray that gets the call tonight. But for this pick, I think it’s going to be the offenses that everyone is talking about tomorrow morning. It’s do-or-die, a winner takes all trip to the Stanley Cup Final on the line and suffice it to say, I’m expecting some fireworks! And note, Ottawa has in fact seen the total eclipse the posted number in all four games so far in the playoffs when tied in a series, while Pittsburgh has seen the total go over the number in ten of 15 this year after scoring one goal or less in its previous contest. For all the reasons listed above, play the over. Good luck…Larry |

05-23-17 | Penguins -145 v. Senators | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -145 | 32 h 24 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the PIttsburgh Penguins (8:00 EST). I’ve played on Ottawa twice in this series and won big as an underdog in each case. I had the “over” in the Penguin’s 7-0 Game 5 victory. This is the first time I’ve played on Pittsburgh in this series though. At right around the -150 range, I think the defending champs offer great value in this spot. Pittsburgh got some timely goaltending from veteran Marc-Andre Fleury to open the playoffs, but he’d eventually stumble against the Sens, which promoped the move to All Star Matt Murray. The move has paid immediate dividends as the Sens have managed to post just two total goals over their last two games. Ottawa netminder Craig Anderson was a disaster in Game 5, so the big question is will he be able to pull himself together for Game 6? Maybe, but then again, maybe not. Murray has a huge advantage here. Note that he’s now 17-6 with a 1.97 GAA and .927 save percentage lifetime in the postseason. The Senators were outshot 36-25, went 0-for-4 on power play and were not able to kill any of the three man-advantage opportunities by the Penguins in Game 5. PIttsburgh is just too deep and too experienced. With a chance to wrap this one up and punch their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final with a date against the waiting Predators, all signs point to the Penguins as the correct move here. Good luck…Larry |

05-22-17 | Ducks +130 v. Predators | Top | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 33 h 58 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Anaheim Ducks (8:00 EST). This has been a rather difficult series to predict. With their backs against the wall though, I think the Ducks can stave off elimination and send this one back to Anaheim for an exciting Game 7 for a winner takes all ticket to the Stanley Cup Final! The Ducks will look to kick start their No. 1 playoff offense after falling 3-1 in Game 5. Anaheim though did get 33 shots on net. But a date on the road is just what the doctor ordered for Anaheim, as it’s 5-2 away from friendly confines in the playoffs thus far. Anaheim will likely start Jonathan Bernier in net, who came in in relief of an injured John Gibson in the first period of Game 5. Gibson is listed as questionable tonight. Bernier is 1-1 with a 2.34 GAA in the postseason in his career. Clearly it won’t be easy, as the Predators have been tough at home and goaltender Pekka Rinne has been unbelievable, now 11-4 with a 1.62 GAA in the postseason. The Ducks though have been “money in the bank” in this situation in the playoffs, now 4-1 (+3.1 units) when trailing in a playoff series and 13-3 (+10 units) this year after a loss by two goals or more in their previous outing. And note that the Predators have struggled in this spot, going just 14-17 (-7.6 units) this season following a victory by two goals or more. For all the reasons listed above, play on Anaheim. Good luck…Larry |

05-21-17 | Senators v. Penguins OVER 5 | Top | 0-7 | Win | 100 | 29 h 41 m | Show |
My 10* SUPER TOTAL is the over Senators/Penguins (3:00 EST). Ottawa had a great opportunity to take a strangle-hold on this series, but came out flat in Game 4 and now it heads back to Pennsylvania for Game 5 all tied up at two games apiece with the defending champs. Both teams have looked great at times in this series and pretty average in others. For the most part Ottawa wins games with its defense, while the Penguins win with their offense. Ottawa is ranked seventh in the playoffs in scoring with 2.69 per game, while conceding the sixth lowest at 2.44. Pittsbrugh is ranked No. 2 in the postseason on offense with 2.94 GPG, while ranked seventh in least goals allowed with 2.50 conceded. I’ll call the Sens’ Craig Anderson and the Pens’ Matt Murray a “wash” in net. But note, Ottawa has in fact seen the total go over the number in all three games that it’s played in the postseason when tied in a playoff series, while Pittsburgh has seen the total eclipse the posted number in two of its last three home games where the total is five or less. I think the situation lends itself to a faster-paced, higher-scoring shootout. Play the over. Good luck…Larry |

05-20-17 | Predators v. Ducks OVER 5 | Top | 3-1 | Loss | -130 | 32 h 6 m | Show |
This is a 10* O/U PERFECT STORM on the over Predators/Ducks (7:15 EST). I had a play on the “over” in Game 4 and feel rather lucky to have earned the “push,” as after being down 2-0 for most of the game, the Predators would score two late ones to push the game to OT in the Ducks eventual 3-2 victory. This series is all knotted up at two and suffice it to say, I do definitely expect a more wide open affair in Game 5 and look for this one to fly over the posted number sooner rather than later. Clearly Nashville will be looking for a better start after the sluggish Game 4 performance, getting outshot 14-2 in the first period. Anaheim fell apart defensively late, but kept its playoff goal average going at a steady three GPG, ranked No. 1 overall. From a trend based stand point, this one also sets up a great as a higher-scoring affair, as note that the Predators have seen the total go over the number in 11 of 16 this year in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent, while the Ducks have seen the total eclipse the posted number in five of their last seven conference finals matchups. With both teams pushing the pace, all signs do indeed point to a higher-scoring “over.” Good luck…Larry |

05-19-17 | Penguins v. Senators +103 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 34 h 1 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Ottawa Senators (8:00 EST). I took the Sens as a +190 dog in Game 1 and won. I then took the “over” in Game 2 and lost. I then came back with Ottawa in Game 3. With a chance to take a stangle hold on this series, I love the Senators to once again shutdown the Penguins and to take advantage of some shaky goaltending from Pittsburgh starter Marc-Andre Fleury, who now clearly appears to be out of gas. Matt Murray, who hasn’t seen any action in months, came on in relief and made 19 saves after Fleury allowed four goals on nine shots in the setback.. Whoever gets the call in net for the defending champs though, it’s safe to say that their are major issues in this department for Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, Sens’ netminder Craig Anderson appears to be getting stronger as the playoffs progress, he made 25 saves in Game 3 and is now 10-5 with a 2.20 GAA in the postseason. Pittsburgh hasn’t been able to score more than one goal in a game against Ottawa and it’s not going to get any easier tonight. This Sens team is incredibly deep, talented and hungry. Ottawa continues to get little respect from the oddsmakers in my opinion. Play on the Senators. Good luck…Larry |

05-18-17 | Ducks v. Predators OVER 5 | Top | 3-2 | Push | 0 | 27 h 9 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH is the over Ducks/Predators (8:00 EST). Nashville has been the stingiest team in the playoffs this year, conceding just 1.76 GPG thus far. The Ducks are the highest scoring team in the league in the postseason, averaging over 3 GPG. But Anaheim has also been one of the worst on the defensive end in conceding 2.96 per contest. Anaheim has been brilliant in this spot for bettors over the years, going 5-2 in its last seven when trailing in a playoff series. But I have a hard time betting against Nashville right now, as it’s one of the best in front of the home town crowd. Clearly the Predators have the better goaltending in Pekka Rinne, as the Ducks’ John Gibson has been nothing more than “serviceable” so far in the playoffs, going 8-5 with a 2.74 GAA and .915 save percentage. I’ll point out though that the Ducks have seen the total go over the number in three of four already this year when trailing in a playoff series, while the Predators have seen the total sail above the posted number in three of their last four after allowing one goal or less in their previous contest. With Anaheim pushing the pace from start to finish, all signs do indeed point to a higher-scoring affair in Game 4. Play the over. Good luck…Larry |

05-17-17 | Penguins v. Senators +111 | Top | 1-5 | Win | 111 | 33 h 7 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Ottawa Senators (8:00 EST). I played the Senators +190 in Game 1, but came up short with my play on the “over” in Game 2. I look to get back on track here in Game 3 as I think the home side is being severely undervalued in this spot. Pittsburgh has so far looked far from dominant in this series. The Sens took Game 1, 2-1 in OT and then Pittsburgh won Game 2 by a score of 1-0. Ottawa is looking great at this point, it now has home ice advantage and I think it can make the most if in Game 3. Pittsburgh has two significant injuries as well as both Bryan Rust and Justin Schultz got injured in the first period of Game 2. Patric Hornqvist is also a game-time decision. The Senators failed to score for the first time in 36 contests. Suffice it to say, I think the team gets back on track tonight. And I’ll point out that Pittsburgh is just 1-2 (-1.2 units) in its last three after shutting out its opponent, while Ottawa is already a perfect 2-0 (+2.6 units) this year when tied in a playoff series. I think the Senators offer great value at home in this matchup. Good luck…Larry |

05-16-17 | Ducks v. Predators UNDER 5 | Top | 1-2 | Win | 120 | 26 h 15 m | Show |
My 10* O/U PERFECT STORM is the under Ducks/Predators (8:00 EST). I took Anaheim in Game 1 and lost and then came back with the Ducks -1.5 +275 on the PUCK-LINE in Game 2. When I released that pick, I had a very good feeling that the team could score an empty netter and that’s exactly what happened. Perhaps a little too close for comfort, but regardless, it now goes down as likely my most legendary NHL playoff release of all time. In Game 3 I’m expecting the Predators to do what they do best and that’s to lock this one down from the opening face-off until the final horn. Nashville comes into this one ranked as the No. 1 defensive team in the playoffs by allowing just 1.75 GPG. Rinne allowed four goals in a game for the first time since March 13th in Game 2, but there’s no reason to think he’ll have back-to-back lapses though (Rinne is now 9-3 with a 1.62 GAA in the postseason.) The Ducks have been good offensively, ranked No. 2 and they’ve been poor defensively so far in the playoffs. But note that Anaheim has seen the total go under the number in three of its last four after a win by two goals or more, while Nashville has seen the total dip below the posted number in two of its last three after a loss by two goals or more. I think the writing is on the wall and a lower-scoring goaltenders battle is in the cards. Play the under. Good luck…Larry |

05-15-17 | Senators v. Penguins OVER 5 | Top | 0-1 | Loss | -145 | 34 h 51 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is the “over” Sens/Pens (8:00 EST). I had a play on the Senators +190 in Game 1 and Ottawa would go on to take the contest 2-1 in overtime. It was a tight game and really it could have gone either way. Suffice it to say, I’m expecting a much more wide open affair in Game 2 as Pittsburgh will be looking to do what it does best and that’s push the pace from start to finish. Ottawa will be forced to match tempo if it has any shot at another upset. The Senators were a solid road team in the regular season, going 22-19 away from friendly confines. So far they’re 5-2 in the playoffs (also interesting to note that Ottawa is 6-1 in OT games in the postseason thus far). Sens’ goaltender Craig Anderson is now 9-4 with a 2.37 GAA and .917 save percentage. Ottawa is ranked seventh in the playoffs in scoring with an average of 2.77 GPG. Pittsburgh is ranked No. 1 on offense in the playoffs with an average of 3.23 GPG, but it looked stalled for most of Game 1. I like the Pens to get untracked here though, note that Pittsburgh has seen the total go “over” the number in four of its last five after scoring one goal or less in its previous contest. And note that Ottawa has seen the total go over the number in its last three after scoring two goals or less in its previous contest. Pens’ netminder Marc-Andre Fleury looked shaky in Game 1 and owns an unspectacular 2.49 GAA in the postseason to this point. For all the reasons listed above, play the over. Good luck…Larry |

05-14-17 | Predators v. Ducks -1.5 | Top | 3-5 | Win | 275 | 26 h 30 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Anaheim Ducks on the “puck-line” (7:30 EST). This is do-or-die for the Ducks, as a 2-0 hole heading back to Nashville would likely be just too much for the team to overcome for a second straight series after the Oilers did the same thing in the last round. Anaheim had its chance, but came up short in the OT period in Game 1. In Game 5 beween the Penguins and Capitals, I took Washington -1.5 +170 on the PUCK-LINE. The Capitals would go on to take that one 4-2. And just like in that one, I expect the Ducks not only to win this game tonight, but to win big. Clearly it won’t be easy, as Nashville is currently the No. 1 ranked defense in the playoffs behind Pekka Rinne, who is 9-2 in the postseason with a 1.41 GAA. Ducks’ netminder John Gibson is 7-4 with a 2.78 GAA in the playoffs so far. He made a career-high 43 saves in Game 1. The Predators own the No. 1 defense, but Anaheim is no slouch on the offensive end, it comes into this one ranked No. 2 with an average of 3.08 GPG. And I’ll point out that despite the Game 1 victory, the road team is still only 2-5 in the last seven meetings between these clubs, while Anaheim is 5-1 in its last six after scoring two goals or less in its previous game. Also note that the Ducks are 7-3 in their last ten when playing on one days rest. I like Anaheim to win this game and I think it’s worth laying the 1.5 goals for the massive payout. Good luck…Larry |

05-13-17 | Senators +190 v. Penguins | Top | 2-1 | Win | 190 | 56 h 58 m | Show |
My 10* TOP PLAY is the Ottawa Senators (7:00 EST). I was 6-1 in Pittsburgh’s seven games series win over Washington. The Penguins looked great at times in that series and really poor in others. Ottawa needed six games to get by Boston and another six to beat New York to get this point. These teams played three times in the regular season and the Senators won two. One player to keep your eyes on for Ottawa is defensman Erik Karlsson, who has 13 points thus far in the postseason. Goaltender Craig Anderson is 8-4 with a 2.49 GAA in the playoffs to go along with a .914 save percentage and one shutout. The Pens’ Marc-Andre Fleury is 8-4 with a 2.55 GAA and .927 save percentage in the poseason. I think the Sens offer a lot more than just a punchers chance in Game 1. I think Pittsburgh comes in a bit complacent and the hungry visitors take advantage. Good luck…Larry |

05-12-17 | Predators v. Ducks -110 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 35 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Anaheim Ducks (9:00 EST). The Predators advanced by beating the Blues 3-1 on Sunday, to take that series 4-2. The Ducks needed seven games to get by the Oilers, most recently a 2-1 win on Wednesday night in Game 7. These teams played three times in the regular season and Anaheim won two, including a 4-3 shootout victory in the last matchup on March 7th. Nashville has looked pretty stout so far in the playoffs, having allowed a total of 14 goals over ten games. Pekka Rinne owns a 1.37 GAA and .951 save percentage in the postseason. The Predators have been the best on the defensive end in the playoffs, conceding just 1.4 GPG. But the Ducks are in the Conference Final for a reason as well, as they enter as the second-highest scoring team in the postseason with an average of 3.2 GPG. Is John Gibson as good as Rinne? Probably not. But he’s been clutch at times in the playoffs already and he’ll surely benefit from playing in front of the home town crowd tonight. I’ll point out as well that Nashville is just 2-6 (-4.9 units) this year when playing with three or more days of rest, while Anaheim is 3-1 (+2.1 units) in its last four after giving up one or less goals in its previous contest. Anaheim took two of three in the regular season and I think it’ll find a way to get the job done in Game 1 too. Play on the Ducks. Good luck…Larry |

05-10-17 | Penguins v. Capitals -170 | Top | 2-0 | Loss | -170 | 30 h 24 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT 7 CLUB is on the Washington Capitals (7:30 EST). If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know that I rarely make selections on “money line” games of greater than -150. Occassionaly I do, but almost never. After taking the underdog through the first four games of this series (Pens, Pens, Caps, Pens), then Washington -1.5 +170 on the “puck line” in Game 5 and then once again on the underdog Capitals in Game 6, I have no issues at all in laying this steeper price on the home side in Game 7. This has been a back-and-forth series, but Washington has clearly gained the momentum back. Pittsburgh has up to this point been getting unbelievable goaltending from backup veteran Marc-Andre Fleury, but as I stated in my Game 6 analysis, I thought that Washington’s Braden Holtby would outduel his counterpart. And that was the case. Holtby let in two early goals, but then shut it down the rest of the way. Washington looked very strong in bouncing back in Game 6 and I think Holtby carries that momentum over into Game 7. The Penguins had their shot and blew it at home. Pittsburgh managed to gut out a win in Game 4 with captain Sidney Crosby sidelined in concussion protocol, but it’s stumbled since. Crosby’s health continues to be a major concern for the club and I think is a definite distraction. I’ll point out as well that the road team is still just 4-10 the last 14 games in this series, while Washington is 41-12 in its last 53 when playing one one days rest. Washington has outscored Pittsburgh 9-4 over the last two games and no doubt looks red hot on both ends of the ice. Lay the price with confidence, play on the Capitals. Good luck…Larry |

05-08-17 | Capitals +111 v. Penguins | Top | 5-2 | Win | 111 | 33 h 20 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Washignton Capitals (7:30 EST). So far I’m 5-0 in this series, taking the underdog through the first four games (Pens, Pens, Caps, Pens), before then jumping on Washington -1.5 +170 in its 4-2 Game 5 victory. The home team has won ten of the last 13 in this series, but I think the desperate Capitals are going to find a way to get the job done tonight and send this one back to the nation’s capital for a decisive Game 7. For starters, Braden Holtby finally outplayed Pens netminder Marc-Andre Fleury, who in my opinion has been playing over his head to this point. Fleury of course has won Stanley Cups, but he’s now the team’s backup and was forced into service in Game 2 of their opening round series. Pittsburgh was ranked No. 1 in the regular season on the offensive end, while Washington wasn’t far behind in third. The Capitals were the No. 1 defense in the league though, compared to just 17th for the Penguins. Much like in baseball, I’m betting on Holtby in being able to outduel his counterpart today. Washington is a dangerous and motivated team and I think it offers great value in this spot. Good luck…Larry |

05-07-17 | Ducks v. Oilers UNDER 5.5 | Top | 1-7 | Loss | -135 | 30 h 20 m | Show |
My 10* O/U Las Vegas Insider is the “under” Ducks/Oilers (7:05 EST). I had the Ducks in Game 5 and clearly I feel pretty lucky to have earned that win. The Oilers are kicking themselves right now after letting a three-goal lead with three minutes left to play slip away in Game 5. The Ducks scored a historic three goals in just three minutes and then won in OT 4-3. So far four of the first five games in this series have flown above the posted number, but I think the conditions are now finally right for a lower-scoring “under.” For one thing, both these teams are going to be dead tired after back-to-back extra period games. Both teams came into this series with red-hot goaltending, but neither John Gibson nor Cam Talbot have looked particularly good in this series. For arguments sakes, let’s call the netminders a “wash” in this one. What I will point out though is that Anaheim has seen the total go under the number in 14 of 23 this year after scoring four goals or more in its previous contest, while Edmonton has seen the total dip below the posted number in 16 of 25 home games this season when the total is set at 5.5. A couple of dead tired teams. The home side desperate for a victory to stay alive, with the visiting team looking to close out. When you add it all up, I think this one falls under the number once it’s all said and done. Good luck…Larry |

05-06-17 | Penguins v. Capitals -1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 170 | 55 h 57 m | Show |
My 10* PERFECT STORM is on the Washington Capitals on the PUCK-LINE (7:15 EST). So far I’m a perfect 4-0 in this series, taking the underdog every single time. Last time out I had the Pens and they’d rally for a 6-2 win with captain Sidney Crosby sidelined with a head injury. However, I think this now sets up as classic “letdown” spot for the defending champs and I look for the clearly desperate home side to not only win this game, but win big. Washington has been getting plenty of shots on net, but so far that hasn’t been enough, as Pittsburgh is getting above average goaltending from Marc-Andre Fleury, combined with smothering defensive play. But I think Pittsburgh comes into this one gassed. Crosby could play tonight, but clearly he’s not going to be even close to 100% capacity. I’ll point out as well that the Pens are just 1-2 (-1.3 units) in their last three after scoring six goals or more, while Washington is 12-3 (+8.2 units) this year when playing on two days rest. Play on Washington on the puck-line. Good luck…Larry |

05-05-17 | Oilers v. Ducks -135 | Top | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 35 h 3 m | Show |
My 10* Las Vegas Insider is on the Anaheim Ducks (10:30 EST). I played the Ducks in both Game’s 3 and 4 and I think they’re going to find a way to get the job done in Game 5 as well. If you didn’t get a chance to read my winning Game 4 analysis, I’m going to post it again here as for the most part, the line of thinking on that selection also directly applies to tonight’s pick as well: I played the Ducks in Game 3 and I think they’ll find a way to get the job done at the end of the night in Game 4 as well. The Oilers took the first two games of this series, but Anaheim got right back into it with a dominating 6-3 win in Game 3. The Ducks have to be liking their chances tonight as well as they’re now 28-10 in the last 38 games in this series. Anaheim wasn’t great on the road in the regular season, but so far it’s 3-0 away from friendly confines in the playoffs. Keep your eyes on Jakob Silfverberg, who now has six goals in the postseason. I think these goaltenders are a “wash,” as either John Gibson of the Ducks or Cam Talbot of the Oilers has the ability to take over a game on any given night (Talbot is 6-3 with a 2.47 GAA in the playoffs, while Gibson is 4-2 with a 2.80 GAA). I’ll point out that Anaheim is 33-19 (+9.2 units) in its last 52 when playing on two days rest, while Edmonton is just 4-7 (-4.8 units) in the same position this season. I had a feeling that the Ducks would come out poised in Game 3 and that it was the Oilers that had the pressure on them to perform in front of the home town crowd. And I think that line of thinking also applies in this one as well. Expect the Ducks’ veteran leadership to once again get the better of the younger Oilers. “Momentum” is a very real, almost tangible factor in the playoffs and it’s one that I believe the oddsmakers often have a hard time properly quantifying into a line. And that’s the case here in my opinion. All things considered, I do indeed feel we’re getting an excellent price on the surging Ducks. Good luck…Larry |

05-04-17 | Senators v. Rangers UNDER 5 | Top | 1-4 | Push | 0 | 31 h 55 m | Show |
My 10* O/U Las Vegas Insider is the under Sens/Rangers (7:30 EST). Ottawa took the first two games of this series at home, before New York bounced back with a 4-1 win in Game 3 on its home ice. This should be a competitive Game 4, as despite the Game 3 setback, the Sens are still 27-12 their last 39 trips to The Big Apple. Craig Anderson will get the call in net for the visitors and so far he’s 6-3 with a 2.28 GAA and .917 save percentage in the postseason. The home side counters with Henrik Lundqvist, who is 5-4 with a 2.03 GAA and .935 save percentage in the playoffs. Obviously this is a major game in the series, either tying it up For New York, or with Ottawa taking a strangle-hold. Suffice it to say, I’m expecting a very tightly-checked, “chippy” affair. I’ll point out as well that Ottawa has seen the total go under the number in four of its last five following a loss by three or more goals, while New York has seen the total dip below the posted number in six of its last eight in the second round of the playoffs. Lundqvist has given up just three goals over his last three home games. I’m banking on these two goaltenders on being the main story lines in tomorrow’s summaries. Play the under. Good luck…Larry |
