Looking to get back on track, as I have been sort of spinning my wheels lately. Tonight I like:
DET -.5 (-165) 1.65 to win 1 Unit
DET is 9-2-0-1 on the road this year and are looking to avoid a 4 game winless streak. They have not gone 4 games without a win in nearly 2 full years! CAL is 1-5-2 in their last 8 and are winless in their last 5 home games. The Flames are 1-6-3 ATS in their last 10 overall. Turek is out and that puts Mike Vernon with his 3.42 goals against average in net tonight. I think DET comes out gunning tonight and although CAL has a good offense, I don?t think they can outscore DET even if Hasek is not on his game.
MIN ML (+140) .75 to win 1.05 Units
MIN has played reasonably well lately, but have had a tough time in their last 2 on the road with losses at CHI and PHI. MIN continues to excel on the PP and is averaging 3 goals per game over the last 5 games. MON has not won in there last 5, 4 of which have been at home, and are averaging only 1.6 goals per game in that stretch. They have several key injuries at the moment including former Caps Juneau and Bullis, as well has newly acquired Donald Audette. Risking sort of a small play here for a decent return and hoping MIN is not the cure for what ails the Habs.
COL/ANA ov 4.5 (-125) 1.25 to win 1 Unit
Roy has been phenomenal lately, but during COL 8 game winless streak they have gone over 4.5 five times. In the last 5 games they are averaging over 3 goals a game and ANA is averaging close to 3 per in their last 5 as well. ANA gives up quite a few shots and goals as a team, and in the last 10 games have gone over 4.5 eight times. Will need some help from ANA I think, and the price is a little high for a total, but I like this to go over.
Good luck everyone. On the year 55-29-5 +13.36 Units
