ST. LOUIS BLUES AT NEW JERSEY DEVILS
DEVIL OF A TIME SCORING

The New Jersey Devils’ offense has dried up, having only scored 10 goals in their last five games as well as having two or fewer goals in five of their last eight outings. It won’t get any easier this Friday when they face the defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues.

The Blues are allowing a league-low 1.9 goals against over their last 10 games and have surrendered just three goals in their last three road games - all victories. We like the Blues to throttle the Devils’ offense and will be taking the Devils’ team total Under 2.5 goals as St. Louis sits in the Top-4 in save percentage, scoring chance save percentage, and expected goals against over the last 10 games.


WASHINGTON CAPITALS AT PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
RUBBER MATCH MATINEE

Two of the best teams in the Metro Division will have their rubber match on Saturday afternoon as the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Washington Capitals at 1 p.m. ET. The previous two matches were both played in February with each team earning two points and a total of 15 goals being scored. Leading up to the game, the Over has hit in three straight Pittsburgh home games as the Pens haven’t had a divisional game at home since January 31.

The Capitals are usually a better Over team at home but with their current goaltending (.896 save percentage over the last 10 games), putting your magic beans on any Washington Over is a profitable bet. The Over has cashed in five of Washington’s last seven games and seven of its last eight divisional matchups. Take the Over 6.5 goals on Saturday afternoon.


MONTREAL CANADIENS AT FLORIDA PANTHERS
FLOODING FLORIDA WITH GOALS

The Montreal Canadiens have played the Florida Panthers three times this year and Les Habitants have put up some staggering offensive numbers. The Canadiens are averaging 4.66 goals per game and have scored at least four goals in all three contests against the Panthers - two wins and a loss. Florida has done nothing to give Montreal backers any doubts, as the playoff-sliding Panthers are allowing 4.13 goals against per game at home since February 6 - a span of nine games.

Montreal is also sitting fifth overall in goals per game since February 16 at 3.57, despite a Bottom-10 powerplay unit. Montreal goalie Carey Price has also shone in the Saturday spotlight, going 10-5-2 which is great considering Price has a record of 27-23-6 on the year. We are looking for a good price on the Montreal team total Over 2.5 but have confidence in the Montreal moneyline or the team total Over 3.5.


LAS VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS AT CALGARY FLAMES
SCHEDULE SPOT SUNDAY

Sunday brings us a great schedule spot to fade the traveling Vegas Golden Knights on the frontend of a back-to-back. Vegas plays in Winnipeg on Friday, visits the Calgary Flames on Sunday, and then rip North to Edmonton on Monday before two full days off ahead of their game in Minnesota. Calgary could offer great value against a team just in town for a short night and possibly thinking about the Oilers, who are just two points back for the top spot in the Pacific as of Friday.

The home team has won each of the last nine matchups with Calgary outscoring Vegas 20-6 in the last three games in Alberta. In fact, the home team is a cool 8-1 ATS in those nine matches. We’re riding the home team who kicked off its five-game homestand with a gutsy 3-2 win against the Blue Jackets on Wednesday after trailing 2-0 with under 10 minutes in the third. We like the Flames on the moneyline.


GOALIE PROFILE: MARTIN JONES, SAN JOSE SHARKS

After posting a 3.70 GAA with an .874 save percentage across 11 starts in January and February (1-10 SU), “Rolling Jones” has risen from the California ashes. A winner in three of his last four starts, Jones has allowed just seven goals in his last four games, helping the Sharks win as +140 and +150 underdogs this month. It’s been a rough season for the Sharks, but this team is still undervalued ahead of its Saturday game against the Senators and Sunday's match against the Avalanche.

Jones is 7-3 SU on Saturday nights with a sub-2.00 goals against on the year. If he does start the Saturday slot, then we will look to play the Under 2.5 on the Ottawa Senators’ team total. If Jones starts Sunday, we will look to take the Under 6 on the full-game total.


INJURY UPDATE: JOHNNY BOYCHUK D, NEW YORK ISLANDERS

The slumping New York Islanders, who are on the playoff bubble, will be without defenseman Johnny Boychuk for an undisclosed amount of time after the rearguard needed 90 stitches to close up a cut on his eyelid from a skate on Tuesday night. It’s not an easy image to erase from your mind.

The team’s struggles are mainly on offense, as it’s scoring the second-lowest amount of goals per game in its last 10, but its 3.17 goals against per game isn’t an impressive number at all either. Losing Boychuk for any length of time is a massive loss for a team looking for consistency. We’ll be staying away from the Islanders on Overs and moneylines, but will have no problem betting against them.


HAT TRICK TRENDS

• Fenwick is a hockey metric that measures total unblocked shot attempts at even strength. This is a better measure of a team's total shots at the net than the regular shots stat which doesn’t include shots that narrowly miss the net or hit the post. Over the last five games, the Predators, Knights, Canucks, Penguins and Jets lead the league in Fenwick For while the Blackhawks, Avalanche, Devils, Rangers and Senators lead the league in Fenwick Against.

• The Philadelphia Flyers are 8-2 O/U on first-period totals across their last 10 games. Other teams who are hitting first-period Overs at 80 percent or better in the last 10 are the Blue Jackets, Senators, Wild, Sabres Canucks and Golden Knights.

• Looking to play an Over but need a little push? The Canucks, Oilers, Kings and Flyers are scoring on the powerplay at better than 33 percent since February 20. Conversely, The Senators, Blue Jackets and Rangers are all allowing shorthanded goals at a rate higher than 33 percent since the same date.

Saturday’s quiz
Which major league team has the longest current playoff drought?

Friday’s quiz

Thursday’s quiz
Bruce Bochy was the San Diego Padres’ manager the last time they played in a World Series.

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

Saturday’s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind…….

13) Missouri Valley tournament:
Drake 77, Northern Iowa 56— Every mid-major’s nightmare; after going 25-5 during the regular season, UNI lays an egg in the first round of Arch Madness and gets bounced to the NIT, becoming the first #1 seed ever to lose to an 8-seed in this tournament.

Valparaiso 74, Loyola 73 OT— Total chaos in St Louis, with top two seeds going out in their first tournament game.

12) Milwaukee Brewers signed OF Christian Yelich to a 9-year, $215M contact that takes his to age 36. Yelich didn’t want an opt-out clause, so he is a Brewer for the rest of his career.

Yelich trivia: His great-grandfather was Fred Gehrke, who played in the NFL for 11 years and is the person who first painted the Rams’ logo on their helmets in 1948, the first NFL team to have a logo on their helmets.

11) San Diego State 81, Boise State 68— Aztecs were down 16 in first half of this game, rallied to tie by halftime; they advance to Mountain West final, but there has to be some concern- they haven’t led at halftime in any of their last five games.

10) Brown 64, Harvard 55— Crimson’s loss gives Yale the regular season title in Ivy League. Brown/Penn are tied for 4th, the last spot to get into the Ivy tournament next week.

9) Richmond 73, Duquesne 62— Huge win for the bubblelicious 24-7 Spiders, who start five juniors, have four sophs and a freshman coming off bench. In other words, Richmond should be really good next season; they’ve won four in row, nine of last ten games.

8) Hampton 86, Redford 78— Pirates are 15-18, tied for 5th in their second season in Big South, but they’ve pulled upsets the last two nights and now get a day off before playing Winthrop, the #2-seed in the Big South final Sunday.

7) Upsets:
— Brown (+10.5) 64, Harvard 55
— Hampton (+10) 86, Redford 78
— Drake (+9) 77, Northern Iowa 56
— Valparaiso (+5.5) 74, Loyola 73 OT
— Fairfield (+5.5) 66, Manhattan 50

6) OVC tournament
Belmont 60, Eastern Kentucky 50:
Murray State 73, Austin Peay 61:

Ohio Valley Conference tournament is in Evansville, even though there are no teams from Indiana in the OVC. Go figure (Evansville is close to lot of OVC schools).

5) Bronx OF Aaron Judge has a stress fracture in a rib, is out at least two more weeks; regular season starts on March 26. Last two years, Judge has played in only 214 games.

4) From CBSSports.com: Miami Marlins announced that “…….the Clevelander night club located behind the left field wall has been shut down for the year. As a result, those shots of people swimming during Marlins games will be a thing of the past as the pool, dancers and DJs that were all once a prominent part of the park are no more. Fans will reportedly still be allowed to access the area with different seating, and without the pool.”

3) Russell Westbrook hasn’t played in both ends of back-to-back games all season, and this time around he won’t play in Charlotte Saturday- the Thunder hosts Orlando Sunday.

Westbrook isn’t hurt; he makes $38,178,000, but has missed 10 of OKC’s 61 games.

By way of comparison, Artis Gilmore played in 81+ games 13 times in his 17-year career, and I’m pretty sure they didn’t have private planes in the ABA or in the NBA in the 80’s.

2) Nothing is quite as irrelevant as spring training standings, but the Padres are 11-2, the Marlins and Phillies 10-4, best records so far.

Pittsburgh is 3-11, Arizona 3-9, which means absolutely nothing.

1) Utah State 89, Wyoming 82— During the Wyoming-Nevada game Thursday night, Evan Washburn of CBS Sports interviewed a guy in the stands named Cowboy Ken, who wasn’t wearing a shirt, but had a yellow barrel on- the guy is like 60. If he walked around Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas later that night, he would’ve fit right in.

Wyoming was down pretty good before the interview, made a big comeback after the interview and upset Nevada; no interview Friday, and the Cowboys lost to Utah State.

Bill Walton, basketball analyst

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

Sunday’s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday…….

Did you turn your clocks ahead an hour?

13) Kentucky 71, Florida 70— If you don’t think John Calipari is a great coach, think again.

— Soph G Ashton Hagans stepped away from the team for personal reasons; March 7th isn’t an ideal time for stuff like this to happen.
— Immanuel Quickley fouled out, playing only 21:00.
— Florida led 59-41, with 11:48 left to play.
— Calipari pulled an old trick, getting a technical when Kentucky was down 12; he thinks that can snap his team out of a funk, and often it has. I remember him doing that at UMass in a game against George Washington a long time ago.

12) Creighton 77, Seton Hall 60— Bluejays won 11 of last 13 games, finished in a 3-way tie atop Big East standings. Creighton will be the #1 seed in next week’s Big East tournament- this is first time Creighton won a share of the Big East’s regular season title.

11) Belmont 76, Murray State 75— Games like that are what March Madness is all about; mid-majors getting national TV time for a shot at going to the NCAA’s.

This was third year in a row these teams met in final of the OVC tournament, with Murray State winning the previous two; quite a rivalry.

10) Virginia 57, Louisville 54— Cavaliers won their last eight games, with seven of those wins by 3 or fewer points, Two of their last three wins were over Duke/Louisville.

9) Utah State 59, San Diego State 56— Sam Merill’s week in Las Vegas:
— Thursday: 34:00, 29 points. Aggies won 75-70
— Friday: 38:00, 27 points. Aggies won 89-82
— Saturday: 40:00, 27 points. Aggies won 59-56

That is 83 points in 112:00 in less than 48 hours. Hell of a weekend.

8) USC 56, UCLA 54— Jonah Mathews made his Senior Day a memorable one, draining the winning 3-pointer as the Trojans beat their crosstown rival, ending UCLA’s 7-game win streak.

7) Upsets:
— Cornell (+12) 85, Princeton 82
— Washington (+10.5) 69, Arizona 63
— Fort Wayne (+7.5) 77, South Dakota State 69
— Northwestern (+7.5) 80, Penn State 69
— Mississippi Valley St (+7.5) 74, Ark-Pine Bluff 71
— Southern Utah (+7) 85, Montana 80 OT
— Rutgers (+6) 71, Purdue 68 OT
— Wofford (+6) 77, Furman 68

6) West Virginia 76, Baylor 64— WVU’s Chase Harler didn’t score any points in 17:00 on his Senior Day, but I’m guessing he had a pretty good day— he proposed to his girlfriend before the game, and luckily for everyone, she said yes.

Baylor limps into the Big X tournament 2-3 in its last five games.

5) Washington 69, Arizona 63— This will sound weird, but if Washington can get PG Quade Green back eligible and somehow win the Pac-12 tourney, they could make the Final Four, and I mean that- they were really good while he was eligible.

Huskies are 15-16, 5-13 in Pac-12, but Green is their QB and they lost a ton of close games with him on the sidelines. Washington is 3-12 since Green was declared ineligible.

4) WTF losses: Losses by teams that make you ask…….
— Northwestern 80, Penn State 69
— Oklahoma State 81, Texas 59
— St John’s 88, Marquette 86
— Utah 74, Colorado 72 OT

3) Oregon State 74, Cal 56:
— When your first name is Tres, you wear number 3, and you score 2,000+ points in your college career.
— When you’re a 4-year starter and your dad is head coach, Senior Day has to be a very emotional day for the whole family.
— Tres Tinkle scored 24 points for an Oregon State team that could be dangerous at the Pac-12 tournament next week in Las Vegas.

2) Oregon 79, Stanford 67— Ducks clinch regular season title in Pac-12, which was way better than it was last year. Payton Pritchard is a great senior guard.

Doug Gottlieb was the TV analyst for FS1 on this game; he used to work for ESPN, which I think totally missed the boat when they let him walk. Gottlieb is smart, opinionated, a little edgy and he didn’t go to Duke; if I ran a cable network, he’d be my choice to be our top analyst.

1) If you’re a bubble team, you’re rooting like hell this week for the teams you played this season, especially the teams you beat. Anything that elevates your resume is a good thing. This has the feel of a tournament where unusual things can happen; sometimes the hardest part of a year like this is just getting your foot in the door.
