Islanders plus $1.05 at Rangers Sure going 7-2 in their last nine games looks good. That’s what the Rangers have done. Consider this though: The Rangers played the three bottom teams in the East – Sabres, Flyers and Devils – in eight of those nine games. The one matchup that didn’t involve any of those […]
Avalanche minus 1 1/2 goals plus $1.55 (puck line) at Blues Colorado had a rare sloppy performance in its last game, a 5-3 road loss to the Blues two days ago. Colorado blew a quick 2-0 lead perhaps by being too overconfident. The Avalanche are a much superior team to the Blues. I’d be surprised […]

Penguins minus $1.65 hosting Flyers I’m old enough to remember Bernie Parent and the Broad Street Bullies. So I can’t say the Flyers never had great goaltending. They just haven’t had it for the past 45 years. The Flyers are 2-6 in their last eight games, following a 5-3 loss to last-place Buffalo this past […]

But I’m still not buying Cueto and the Giants opening as a home ‘dog to the Reds and bottom-of-the-rotation type Tyler Mahle. I’m also not buying the Reds as the best […]
