NHL DAILY PROJECTIONS

Pretty quiet night in the NHL this Wednesday with only four games. I am not projecting lines on Washington-Colorado because the line is off the board at this time of writing (also, it’s not exciting to handicap games where a strong team faces a very weak one). I am cautiously advising to bet one game:

MARCH 29, 2017 MONEY LINE Pinnacle PROFESSOR MJ Pinnacle PROFESSOR MJ PICK ROI Blackhawks +109 +125 2,09 2,25 -7,1% Penguins -120 -125 1,83 1,80 1,9% Tip: No value bet. Pinnacle PROFESSOR MJ Pinnacle PROFESSOR MJ PICK ROI Kings +119 +149 2,19 2,49 -12,0% Flames -131 -149 1,76 1,67 X 5,5% Tip: Bet the Flames. Pinnacle PROFESSOR MJ Pinnacle PROFESSOR MJ PICK ROI Blues -176 -166 1,57 1,60 -2,1% Coyotes +159 +166 2,59 2,66 -2,6% Tip: No value bet.

You could contemplate betting the Flames at -131 (decimal 1.76) against the Kings . Los Angeles will be playing a second game in as many nights after playing in Edmonton the previous evening. At some point around 2014-2015, the Flames beat the Kings on 5 occasions out of 6 tries. Then, Los Angeles went on to win the next five matchups, including a decisive 5-0 win earlier this season. However, the Flames have come back to win two consecutive games at home against them (2-1 on February 28th and 5-2 ten days ago). Calgary is a respectable 4-3 since their 10-game winning streak was halted. The Kings rode a 5-game winning streak in early February, but have now won only 8 games out of their past 22. The return of Jonathan Quick has not been enough to spark the team, as they remain around the .500 mark.

Thank you for reading this daily report, I appreciate a lot!
