YTD 0-1 -1.00
New Jersey/Buffalo Over 5.5 -110
One thing you could take out of the Devils four goal implosion last night is this isn’t your mothers kind of New Jersey hockey anymore. They should be a fun watch since......well forever.
I think we all knew the myriad of additions the Devils made in the offseason would make them better offensively. But not defensively. John Hynes likes a up tempo game and it showed last night. Devils will struggle at times with chemistry but you can see they should have no problem scoring goals while also letting them in as fast.
Albeit from a one game sample, I think Nikita Gusev is going to be a NHL star. Instantly.
Boston/Arizona Under 5.5 -120
Arizona tried to remedy their weak offense, (28th in the league last year), by bringing in Phil the thrill. Kessel has been barely a point a game player for only the last two years of his 14 year career. And that’s while playing on some pretty good teams. Now he’s asked to be the go to guy? He’s a good compliment player. Nothing more. Especially at 32.
If there is one thing Arizona has no problem with it’s playing defense. Only five teams surrendered less goals than Arizona last year, (one of which is Boston). If the Coyotes are successful this year it’s because of the sum of it’s parts and their goaltending.
Jaroslav Halek in net for Boston, (2.34 gaa, .922 save# last year). In 14 career games against Arizona he is 9-3-2, 2.00 gaa, .931 save#.
17 games played so far and only 3 have gone to OT. I shouldn’t be surprised. The normal 25% OT rate that the NHL routinely sees is usually skewed with tighter games being played after the all-star break. You can see 30% rate or higher in January-March.
With that in mind I’ll take the following in regulation.
NY Rangers -.5
In the next 12 days they play one more time. I have to believe they bring it all tonight against the weakest squad in the NHL.
Boston -.5
Halek versus Kuemper? (Darcy Kuemper career versus Boston 0-4, 3.05, .874).
Keller, Kessel, Stepan versus Marchand, Pastrnak, and Bergeron?
Bruins haven’t lost to the Coyotes since.....forever. 10-0 since 2014, all in regulation.
I’ll fill in the blank numbers for regulation time wagers later. Also probably have a couple more.
