Columbus Blue Jackets vs Buffalo Sabres
Over 6.0 goals @1.97
Jack Quinn over 0.5 points @1.77
Both teams have defensive absences, while Columbus finished last season with a penalty kill of just 76%.
Quinn is projected on the first power-play unit alongside Tage Thompson and Rasmus Dahlin, plus a regular spot with Zach Benson and Noah Ostlund at even strength. Those two routes to the scoreboard make his point bet interesting: one goal or assist does the job. I’m confident Quinn will be involved in one or more goals tonight.
PLAY THIS PICK →New Jersey Devils vs Philadelphia Flyers
New Jersey Devils to win in 60mins @1.97
Philadelphia heads into its second game in two nights after getting an absolute 7–0 ass-whoop from Pens and being outshot 38–19. New Jersey starts its season, at home, against an opponent coming straight off a pure defensive training game.
The Devils also finished preseason 3–0–1, closing with a 4–1 win over the Islanders. Opening their season at home, against Philly, who had rough ladt night, I don’t see reasons why they wouldn’t have fun on ice.
PLAY THIS PICK →Nashville Predators vs Minnesota Wild
Matthew Wood over 0.5 points @2.37
Wood’s expected deployment is the attraction here: a line alongside Filip Forsberg and a place on Nashville’s first power-play unit with Forsberg, Steven Stamkos, Ryan O’Reilly and Roman Josi.
Minnesota is missing defenseman Brock Faber and goaltender Filip Gustavsson, leaving important holes behind its forwards. Wood should get emough opportunities for a point against a Wilds while sharing the ice with Nashville’s offensive guns. At 2.37 I want to take my shot at this.
PLAY THIS PICK →Utah Mammoth vs Chicago Blackhawks
Over 6.0 goals @1.97
Dylan Guenther over 1.5 points @4.05
Utah averaged 3.27 goals per game last season, while these teams conceded a combined average of 6.2. The Mammoth’s projected lineup spreads Keller, Schmaltz, Trocheck, Cooley and Guenther across two dangerous lines, giving Chicago plenty to contain. Exactly six goals returns the total stake.
Guenther produced 40 goals, 33 passes, total 73 points in 79 games, including 20 multi-point performances last season, the guy knows what he’s doing. He is projected next to Cooley and on the first power-play unit with Keller and Schmaltz. That combination of production and offensive usage makes me horny against Chicago at 4.05.
