YTD----------4-2------- +2.48
I don’t know if it’s the increased enforcement of obstructions, having the face off moved to the defending zone whenever a penalty is assessed, or just the evolution of this new NHL but scoring is up around the league. I could make a strong case for numerous games going over the conservative 5.5s being posted by the linemakers today. I believe that we will see many more totals of six being hung on the board in the near future so my plan is to take advantage of these lower numbers while they last.
Ottawa/Toronto Over 5.5 -110
Insufficient goaltending for both teams and a propensity for goals whenever these two match up leads me to believe we should see some end to end action on this hockey night. Only once in the last ten meetings between these two provincial rivals have we seen a total listed at 5.5. Nine goals were scored in that contest and 6 goals or more have been tallied in 7 of their last 10.
Los Angeles/Nashville Over 5.5 -115
The Kings offense is starting to show it’s potential and have tallied 17 goals in their last four games. Kyle Calder returned to the top line for L.A. last night. The Kings are loaded with offensive potential from top to bottom. Kopitar, O’Sullivan, Brown, Frolov, Handzus, Stoll, Armstrong, and Doughty they should have little trouble lighting the lamp this year. With little expectations and no pressure, this team will be a solid value play all season long.
The Predators porous PK, (ranked 28<SUP>th</SUP>), has been a large factor in their 5-2 O/U record. Preds have averaged 7.3 GPG scored in their 7 games this year.
San Jose/Tampa Bay Over 5.5 +113
The Lightning are starting to warm up offensively after a very lethargic start. They are starting to shoot the puck more and creating scoring chances. Getting a puck mover like Paul Ranger back into the roster was absolutely critical for any success from the Bolts front lines.
San Jose should have no problem in lighting up this Tampa Bay defense and Mike Smith. They have scored 15 times in their last 3 games versus the least of the east. Tampa Bay was so desperate on the back end they signed Marek Malik this week and he should contribute by replicating the turnstile he was in New York.
FWIW
Other games I’m looking at to go over the number.
Atlanta/Boston Over 5.5 +105
Washington/Dallas Over 5.5 -110
Detroit/Chicago Over 5.5 +105
