Wednesday In The NHL

[Tiger]

1)Buffalo at Carolina
The Play: Buffalo(Pick,+100)
Sabres continue to be hot with 4 straight wins now by a combined score of 16-7. They are 7-3 in their L10 against teams with a collective record 125 games over 500. Carolina is 5-4-1 in their L10 against teams with a collective record 58 games below 500.


Buffalo is also 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games.

Buffalo has given up 2 goals or less in 7 of their last 10 games, and have scored 3 or more goals in 7 of those 10 games. On the other hand the Hurricanes have scored more than 3 goals only once in their last 10.


2)Tampa Bay at Atlanta
The Play: (under 6,+100)
Are you kidding me with this line? Atlanta has scored 4 goals in their last 3 games, and Tampa Bay has given up more than 2 goals in a game only once in their last 6.


3)Nashville at Minnesota
The Play: Minnesota(Pick,+105)
Yes, I know the Wild have lost 5 straight games, but have you stopped to see what a
Murderers Row of a schedule it has been for them? Those 5 losses were to Detroit in OT, St.Louis in OT, Philly, Colorado by one goal, and Dallas..........5 of the NHL's 7 teams with 90 points so far!!

The Wild have been a solid home team all year at 13-15-8 while the Predators bring a poor 9-22-5 road record into this one.

Minnesota, at home, matched up with a sub 500 team, at better than even money, is a solid percentage play here tonight.

The 3 Wednesday Plays Again:

1)Buffalo(pick,+100)
2)TBay/Atl(under 6,+100)
3)Minnesota(Pick,+105)

Good luck out there tonight,
Tiger

Actually, it's Columbus, not Nash, that has that poor 9-22-5 road record. Nash is 17-19-1. I still lean to Minnesota, as they looked OK against Dallas.

I also like Buffalo. They've played well, and Heinze has fit in immediately. No chemistry problems.

TB looks like a play at +100. 6-4 last 10 agst a schedule of teams 11 over .500, outscoring them 30-24. (Atl is 2-5-3 agst schedule at 24 below .500, outscored by 39-26.) TB's hot streak has been at home, but 2 of their last 5 road games were a 6-0 win at NYI and a 0-0 tie at Phil, so they're not hopeless on the road. Will go with TB despite horrendous 5-29-3 road record.

mw, right you are about those road stats belonging to Columbus instead of Nashville....was looking at the wrong line in my local newspaper when I typed it out. Still like Minnesota tonight though.
