Here are the top two trends from Thursday’s National Hockey League board, Nov 17, 2011, based on winning percentage over the last five years or more. It should be noted that we don't only support these plays based on the overwhelmingly successful trends, but on criteria not outlined fully in the details below.
(3) PHOENIX vs. (4) PHILADELPHIA
Lean: Under on the total.
Playing to the bottom side of the over-under on a team (Phoenix) that has a winning percentage between .510 and .600 coming off two or more straight road victories against a team (Philadelphia) with a winning record in the first half of the season has been solid gold. The trend is 30-7 (81%) over the last five NHL campaigns and is 1-1 this season.
Play the Total UNDER 5.5 goals
(1) COLUMBUS vs. (2) BOSTON
Lean: BOSTON on the money line.
Backing a home team (Boston) that has an average goals allowed of less than 2.4 on the season coming off six or more straight over-the-total results has cashed at a 23-5 (82%) clip over the last 15 NHL campaigns and is 1-0 this season.
Play the Boston Bruins -215
