        • In the Crease - Week 24
          Joe Williams



          Beantown Bonanza

          The Boston Bruins are rolling, going unbeaten in regulation across the past 17 contests. They have won five of the past six games in the Eastern Conference, while posting a 6-0 record in each of the past six outings against teams with a losing overall record. They have pushed aside the opposition in 47 of the past 65 games at home. They're also an impressive 44-18 across the past 62 as a home favorite. The Panthers are on a five-game skid, and they are just 19-41 in the past 60 games as a road underdog. They have lost nine of the past 12 games on the road overall, too, while losing four straight against teams with a winning overall mark.

          TD Garden has been a house of horrors for the Florida Panthers, as they have won just five times in the past 21 trips to the Bay State. They're also just 9-25 in the past 34 meetings in this series. In addition, the home team has connected in five of the past six, while the favorite has cashed in 28 of the past 41 meetings overall.

          Looking Ahead

          Thursday, March 7

          Columbus at Pittsburgh:
          The Blue Jackets head east on Interstate 70 (OK, they probably took the short flight) to meet the Penguins in the Steel City. Columbus has posted five wins in the past six road outings, while going 10-3 in the past 13 games against the Metropolitan Division. All of that is well and good, but they're just 4-18 in their past 22 against the Pens, while going 10-25 in the past 35 meetings overall. The home team has also cashed in 11 of the past 15 games overall. The Penguins have won six of the past eight against the Eastern Conference, and they're hitting at a .701 clip (116-50) across the past 166 games at home.

          Calgary at Arizona:
          How many bettors and hockey fans envisioned that a Calgary-Arizona battle would be an important game in March with Western Conference playoff implications? The Flames have cashed in four of the past five games on the road, while going 7-3 in the past 10 games overall. Arizona is equally hot, cashing in six of the past seven games overall, while cashing in four of the past five against Western Conference clubs. Calgary has owned this series of late, winning 10 of the past 13 meetings overall, with five wins in the past six trips to the desert. The 'over' is also a frequent occurrence, hitting in five of the past six overall, and four straight meetings in Glendale.

          Montreal at San Jose:
          The Canadiens have rolled to seven straight victories against the Pacific Division, and they're 6-1 in the past seven against Western Conference foes. The Sharks have hit in nine of their past 11 games as a home favorite, and they're 14-5 in the past 19 overall when favored. Theyh ave won 20 of their past 28 games overall, too. The Sharks have dominated this series, winning 11 straight home meetings and 17 of the past 22 meetings overall. The home team is also 14-5 in the past 19 meetings overall in the series.

          Friday, March 8

          Winnipeg at Carolina:
          The Jets roll into Raleigh looking to get untracked and cool off one of the hotter teams in the NHL. The Jets have connected in five of their past seven as an underdog, and they're 7-2 in the past nine against Metropolitan Division clubs. Winnipeg has owned this series of late, winning six of the past eight trips to Raleigh, while cashing in four of the past five. However, the favorite is also 6-0 in the past six meetings, with the 'under' hitting in each of the past six in Raleigh.

          Montreal at Anaheim:
          The home team has cashed in eight straight meetings in this series, with Anaheim winning each of their past four home battle against the Canadiens. Montreal will be playing in their third game in four days, and they're 9-2 in the past 11 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. With less rest they seem to get stronger. The Habs are also 4-1 in the past five against teams with a losing record. The Ducks are 3-11 in the past 14 home games, and just 7-26 in the past 33 overall. They have also struggled with an 0-9 mark in the past nine against the Atlantic Division, and 3-13 in the past 16 against the Eastern Conference.

          Saturday, March 9

          Ottawa at Boston:
          The Bruins have won seven straight meetings in this rivalry since the start of the 2017-18 regular season, including each of the past three meetings at home. The 'over' has also cashed in each of the past three meetings in Boston during the same span. The spread in this one won't likely be as high as -400 when the Tampa Bay Lightning routed the Sens 5-1 last week, but you can expect a line of around -350. Boston has won the past three at home vs. Ottawa by a combined socre of 16-6, with no game closer than three goals, so those interested in puck line (-1 1/2) bets will want to pay close attention.

          Toronto at Edmonton:
          The Oilers will be looking to avenge a 6-2 loss in Toronto on Feb. 27, and that is actually their last loss heading into play on Thursday. Mikko Koskinen has backstopped the Oil in 11 straight contests, as Edmonton continues to ride the Finn. The Leafs have won five straight meetings in this series, including each of the past two road games. Edmonton's last win in the series came on Feb. 11, 2016.

          Vegas at Vancouver:
          This will be the eighth meeting between the Golden Knights and Canucks since Vegas came into the league. Vegas has won six of the previous seven in the series, and Vancouver has never beaten Vegas in regulation. In the previous three meetings in the Pacific Northwest, Vegas has won by a combined score of 14-9, hitting the 'over' in each of the three battles. Vegas has scored at least four goals in all three trips to Vancouver, and they're averaging 4.2 goals per game in seven meetings all-time vs. the Canucks.

          Sunday, March 10

          Vegas at Calgary:
          The home team has won six consecutive meetings in this series, and Calgary has scored seven goals in each of their past two meetings with the Golden Knights in the Saddledome. The 'over' has cashed in each of the three battles in Calgary, too. The past two battles in this series, both in Vegas, resulted in a total of five goals and two 'under' results. So will we get a ton of offense like usual in Calgary, or a low-scoring game like we saw in the past two battles at T-Mobile Arena?

          • Ovechkin stymied by the Devils, and this weekend's NHL odds and best bets
            Monty Andrews

            Few teams can say they've given Alex Ovechkin trouble over the years – but of his most frequent foes, the New Jersey Devils have done the best job of containing him as they visit the defending-champion Washington Capitals in a Friday night showdown. Ovie's tilt with the Devils highlights a fun weekend of NHL action, which includes the Anaheim Ducks looking to extend a run of home-ice dominance in their recent series with the Montreal Canadiens, and the Toronto Maple Leafs set to humble the Edmonton Oilers yet again. Here are the top matchups, betting trends and tips to monitor entering another full slate of hockey action:

            Stymied by the Devils

            Any team that can hold Ovechkin below half a goal per game on average is going to be the envy of the rest of the league – and that's just where the Devils find themselves as they visit Ovechkin and the Capitals on Friday. Ovechkin's 25 goals in 51 career games vs. New Jersey are easily the fewest of any team he's faced at least 50 times. Ovie scored his league-leading 46th goal of the season in Wednesday's 5-3 win over Philadelphia, and his recent scoring exploits have helped the surging Capitals win seven of eight while surpassing the total in four of their previous six games.

            Road Rash

            The Montreal Canadiens and Anaheim Ducks have been consistent when it comes to protecting home-ice advantage as the teams renew hostilities Friday night at Honda Center. The home team has prevailed in eight consecutive meetings dating all the way back to the latter stages of the 2014-15 season. And the previous four games haven't been particularly close, with the home side winning each won by at least three goals. The Ducks desperately want to keep that trend alive, as they find themselves with a cumulative net value of -9.35 units through Wednesday's action.

            An Unbe-Leaf-able Run

            The Edmonton Oilers might have the superior franchise center compared to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but their Eastern rivals are in much better position as a team as the two Canadian franchises square off Saturday night at Rogers Place. Not only are the Leafs one of the favorites to win the Stanley Cup (while the Oilers most certainly are not), they've dominated the head-to-head series with Edmonton, winning five in a row and 12 of the past 14 meetings. But player prop fans should still consider Connor McDavid, who has four goals and five assists in six games against his hometown team.

            Close Calls

            The Detroit Red Wings and Florida Panthers have a pair of lengthy trends on the line as they tangle Sunday night at BB&T Center in Sunrise. The game won't hold much interest for casual hockey fans, with both teams well out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. But it's an intriguing matchup for bettors, considering that the road team has won each of the previous three meetings and eight of the past 10 overall, most recently a 4-3 Florida win in Detroit last New Year's Day. Also notable: these teams have played a whole bunch of close games lately, with four straight games and eight of nine decided by a goal.

            Goalie Profile

            Marc-Andre Fleury, Vegas Golden Knights

            He's the one goaltender opposing teams would love to avoid come playoff time – and he's playing some of his best hockey of the season. Fleury has had a sensational start to the month of March, winning all three of his starts while allowing just one total goal in those victories. Fleury blanked the Ducks and Vancouver Canucks to kick off the month, then turned aside 33 of 34 shots in a 2-1 victory over the conference-leading Calgary Flames in his previous outing. The 34-year-old leads the league in wins (33) and shutouts (seven), and the Golden Knights are a red-hot 5-1 to the under in his last six starts.

            Injury Update

            Robin Lehner, New York Islanders

            Islanders fans are holding their breath after Lehner left in the third period of his team's 5-4 shootout win over the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night. Lehner was forced from the game after colliding with Ottawa forward Brady Tkachuk; head coach Barry Trotz didn't offer an update on his starting netminder's status, but the team did recall Christopher Gibson on an emergency basis in case Lehner isn't able to play in Thursday's rematch. Lehner has been one of the top goaltenders in the league to date, sitting tied for second in the league in goals-against average (2.19) and fifth in save percentage (.927).

            Hat Trick Trends

            Road favorites have been the most automatic play of any straight-up betting outcome over the previous seven days worth of games, having gone 12-3-2 – good for a 70.6-percent success rate. Road faves have been a slightly better option (63.2 percent) than home faves (62.1) over the past 30 days, though home faves still own a season-long edge (58.4 to 56.4).

            Totals play has been split right down the middle, with 44 games over the previous seven days producing 22 overs and 22 Unders. The under has an ever-so-slight 108-106 edge in the last month's worth of contests and is now up to a 50.6-percent advantage for the season – thanks in no small part to oddsmakers rolling out the 6.5s a lot more than they did early in the year.

            The most valuable road team in the league from a betting perspective might surprise you – unless, of course, you've been wagering on the Arizona Coyotes for most of the season. The desert dogs are up to a whopping +9.92 units on the road this season, slightly ahead of the New York Islanders (+9.77); Columbus (+8.73) rounds out the top three.

              ************************************************** ************

              Friday’s List of 13: Random stuff with weekend here…..

              13) Looks like Denver Broncos are going to trade QB Case Keenum to the Redskins, which would put Keenum on his 4th NFL team in four years. Washington needs a QB because of Alex Smith’s broken leg. Keenum is expendable in Denver because they traded for Joe Flacco.

              12) When NFL free agency starts next week, Indianapolis Colts will have the most cap room ($106.7M), followed by the Jets ($101.5M).

              11) Bill Parcells and Joe Gibbs are the only two Hall of Fame coaches from the Super Bowl era who didn’t coach a Hall of Fame QB. Technically, Tony Dungy didn’t either, but only because Peyton Manning isn’t eligible yet. Obviously, Manning is a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

              10) Oakland Raiders had only 13 sacks last year, least in NFL; next lowest were Giants/Patriots, with 30 sacks each. Chiefs/Steelers led the league, with 52.

              9) Los Angeles Lakers mentioned something Thursday about scaling back Lebron James’ minutes over their last 17 games, seeing how they’re just about out of the playoff race.

              8) Basketball budgets in the A-14:
              1. Dayton $7.25M
              2. Saint Louis $6.9M
              3. VCU $6.15M
              4. Rhode Island $5.45M
              5. Duquesne $5.2M
              6. Richmond $4.75M
              7. Fordham $4.55M
              8. UMass $4.35
              9. St Joe’s $4.2M
              10. George Mason $4.0M
              11. St Bonaventure $3.8M
              12. Davidson $3.35M
              13. La Salle $3.27M
              14. George Washington $3.2M

              7) Cal Poly fired basketball coach Joe Callero after 10 years at the school; Callero was 65-95 in Big West games at Cal Poly, 6-24 the last two years. Mustangs won Big West tourney five years ago, after going 6-10 in regular season.

              6) Oakland beat Youngstown State 88-84 in the Horizon tourney Wednesday; Grizzlies were 32-45 on the foul line, Youngstown was 6-10. Yikes.

              5) Saint Peter’s 71, Marist 68 OT— John Dunne coached Saint Peter’s for 12 years, then bolted Jersey City last spring to coach at Marist. In his first year with the Red Foxes, Dunne went 0-3 against his old players- Marist led this game by 10 at the half.

              4) Oregon State’s basketball games the last eight days:

              — Feb 28, lost 74-72 at home to Arizona; led by 4 with 4:34 left.
              — March 3, lost 74-71 at home to Arizona State; led by 4 with 8:08 left.
              — March 6, lost 81-76 in OT at first-place Washington; tough week.

              3) UCF 58, Cincinnati 55— These teams are likely to meet in AAC semi-finals. Cincinnati is now 10-2 this season in games decided by 5 or fewer points. Tacko Fall’s mom was at this game, visiting from Senegal; it was first time she has seen her son in seven years.

              2) California 64, Stanford 59— Cardinal were favored by 11.5 in this rivalry game, but came out and quickly fell behind 19-2 to a lousy Cal team. Stanford PG Davis didn’t play, but he didn’t play in their last game either, when they damn near beat first-place Washington.

              1) Easy to say spring training baseball doesn’t mean much, but Dodgers’ OF Joc Pederson went 1-21 in spring games, so he went and played in a “B” game to get some extra at-bats.

                  • The streak continues!

                    After a 5-4 shootout win over the Buffalo Sabers the Over is now 22-1-1 in the Hawks last 24 games.

                    The last time the Hawks played in a game that went Under was Jan 22 vs the Islanders.

                    Chicago's next game is Saturday in Dallas

                      3) Golden State Warriors $3.5B (moving into a new arena next year)

                      6) Brooklyn Nets $2.35B

                      Tweet of the Day
                      “When you’re in the NBA, and you aren’t in the lineup, you can feel invisible. But I never questioned my ability. The injuries have given me a greater appreciation for every day that I wake up, ready to do what I love.”
                      Danilo Gallinari

                      Saturday’s quiz
                      Everyone knows that Alaska is the 49th state, Hawaii the 50th, but what state was #48?

                      Friday’s quiz
                      John Thompson III was the basketball coach at Georgetown before Patrick Ewing.

                      Thursday’s quiz
                      Big East is the only basketball conference in the country where every team is located in a different state; teams are from nine different states, plus the District of Columbia.

                      ************************************************** ****************************

                      Saturday’s List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind……

                      13) LSU suspended basketball coach Will Wade indefinitely, after he was caught on an FBI wiretap discussing payments to a recruit’s family. LSU is 25-5 this season 15-2 in the SEC.

                      In a somewhat related event, Creighton assistant coach Preston Murphy has been placed on administrative leave by that school.

                      12) We mentioned the other day about the Ravens releasing Eric Weddle; well he wasn’t a free agent for long. Weddle signed with the Los Angeles Rams on Friday, which is good news!!!

                      11) Dodger manager Dave Roberts said pitcher Joe Kelly told him he hurt his back while standing too long while cooking Cajun food.

                      Football players resent that baseball guys have guaranteed money; they play thru separated shoulders and fairly severe injuries, while a pitcher gets hurt because he stood up for too long.

                      10) Maryland senior Ivan Bender is from Europe; he used his Senior Night introduction as an opportunity to propose to his girlfriend at center court. Luckily for everyone, she said yes.

                      9) The new Arena Football team in Atlantic City will be called the Blackjacks.

                      8) New Jersey Giants traded DE Olivier Vernon and a 4th-round pick to Cleveland for G Kevin Zeitler and a 5th-round pick.

                      7) From Monday-Thursday this week, under was 19-6 in NBA games.

                      6) In the AAF, San Diego Fleet lost QB Philip Nelson for a month (broken clavicle).

                      5) There was a film clip on Twitter this week of a Texas-Hawai’i football game in 1995, the first game Kirk Herbstreit worked on ESPN- he was the sideline reporter.

                      — Referee for that game was Mike Pereira, who is now FOX’s instant replay guru.
                      — It was the first game at Texas for RB Ricky Williams, who went on to be a big star there.
                      — Play-by-play guy was DeWayne Staats, who now does Tampa Bay Rays games on TV; the analyst was former Raiders’ TE Todd Christensen.

                      4) Kansas City Chiefs proposed a rule change this week that would give both teams at least one possession in overtime.

                      3) Question to discuss for NFL fans: If your team needed a QB, would you rather they traded for Case Keenum or Josh Rosen?

                      2) Remember to push your clocks ahead an hour tonight; we “spring” ahead, “fall” back.

                      1) Writer on ESPN.com did an article about how the Albany Great Danes basketball team has recruited a lot of Australian players. Here is how the guy described my hometown:

                      “Albany, New York; a small, riverside city located 220 kilometres north of New York City with a population of roughly 100,000 people. Not too much goes on here…..”

                      Made me laugh, thats all.

                                6) Belmont star Dylan Windler fell thru the cracks of the recruiting system and wound up at Belmont mainly because he only played AAU ball for a little while.

                                Windler is a 1-handicapper on the golf course, so he was teeing it up in the summer instead of running around the AAU circuit, and he went largely unnoticed, because that is how recruiting works, for better or worse.

                                5) Lakers’ Brandon Ingram has a blood clot in his shoulder, is expected to miss the rest of this season. Lonzo Ball is also supposed to miss the rest of the season.

                                4) Not sure why all the Antonio Brown news breaks after midnight, but looks like the unhappy WR is being dealt to the Raiders, for 3rd-round and 5th round draft picks.

                                3) Oklahoma City Thunder’s last two opponents:
                                — Clippers 31-46 on foul line (OKC 17-26)
                                — Trailblazers 38-47 on foul line (OKC 25-32)

                                2) The last time a pitcher made his major league debut by starting on Opening Day was in 1943; San Diego’s Chris Paddack has a chance to do that later this month.

                                1) Steve Wojciechowski’s five years as head coach at Marquette:
                                — 96-67 overall, 43-47 in Big East games.
                                — This will his 2nd trip to NCAA’s (lost by 20 in first round in ’17)
                                — Big East tournament record: 3-4
                                — Record in March: 10-11
                                — His team this year starts three juniors; time to put up or shut up.
