Around the rink: Sunday's NHL betting notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Bruins at Florida Panthers (+144, 5.5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Tuukka Rask (BOS), Jacob Markstrom (FLA)

Boston won its second straight game and improved to 6-1-1 on the road with a 4-2 triumph over Tampa Bay on Thursday. Tuukka Rask has won four of five career outings versus Florida while posting two shutouts and registering an ultra-slim 0.97 goals-against average. The Panthers are 0-1-3 during their last four home games - and they weren't too impressive in a 3-1 road loss to Pittsburgh on Friday. The Bruins are 5-0 in their last five Sunday games.

Winnipeg Jets at New Jersey Devils (-158, 5.5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Ondrej Pavelec (WSH), Martin Brodeur (NJ)

New Jersey has won its last five home meetings with Winnipeg dating back to its days as the Atlanta Thrashers. The Devils hardly looked like an elite club in their 5-1 road loss to Washington on Saturday afternoon, but they'll return home where they have collected points in eight of nine games (6-1-2). Special teams are killing Winnipeg as it has failed to score on its last 21 power-play opportunities. The Jets are 1-6 in the last seven meetings.

Vancouver Canucks at Detroit Red Wings (+112, 5.5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Roberto Luongo (VAN), Jonas Gustavsson (DET)

Detroit snapped a five-game winless streak on Saturday, defeating the Nashville Predators 4-0 at home. The Canucks also shut out the Predators as Roberto Luongo stopped 23 shots at Nashville on Friday and are 2-0-1 on their four-game road trip. The under is 4-0-3 in the Red Wings’ last seven Sunday games.

Carolina Hurricanes at New York Islanders (-110, 5.5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Cam Ward (CAR), Kevin Poulin (NYI)

The Hurricanes will face the Islanders at New York on Sunday after posting a 6-4 victory there on Feb. 11. The six goals Carolina scored in that game matched a season high, but the club has struggled offensively in the three games since losing Jeff Skinner to a concussion, getting outscored 12-5. The Islanders are beginning a season-high seven-game homestand, but New York has been less effective at home this season, posting a 2-6-0 record. The over is 5-1 in the last six meetings.

Columbus Blue Jackets at Chicago Blackhawks (-254, 5.5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Steve Mason (CBJ), Corey Crawford (CHI)

Columbus has lost eight straight games in the all-time series between the teams since posting a 4-3 victory in Chicago on Feb. 18, 2011. It now has the daunting task of trying to hand the Blackhawks their first regulation loss of the season. Chicago improved to 14-0-3 after posting a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Friday, setting the record for most games without a regulation loss to start a season. Columbus has allowed 37 goals during its losing streak against Chicago while scoring only 15.

Tampa Bay Lightning at Pittsburgh Penguins (-170, 6)

Probable starting goaltenders: Anders Lindback (TB), Marc-Andre Fleury (PIT)

The Pittsburgh Penguins will have to move forward without second-leading scorer Evgeni Malkin for an indefinite period. The reigning Hart Trophy winner experienced concussion-like symptoms after sliding awkwardly into the boards and hitting his head in Friday’s victory over the Florida Panthers. Pittsburgh has won the last three meetings, outscoring Tampa Bay 18-6 in the process.

Phoenix Coyotes at Calgary Flames (-106, 5.5)

Probable starting goaltenders: Mike Smith (PHX), Danny Taylor (CGY)

The Phoenix Coyotes attempt to post their second win over the Calgary Flames in seven days. Phoenix posted a 4-0 home triumph over Calgary on Monday and has taken seven of the last nine meetings between the clubs. The Flames are 2-10 in their last 12 vs. a team with a losing record.

Colorado Avalanche at Anaheim Ducks (-168, 5.5)

Probable starting goaltenders: J.S. Giguere (COL), Viktor Fasth (ANH)

Anaheim hasn't played since extending its winning streak to five games with a 3-2 triumph over Columbus on Monday. Viktor Fasth, who is 9-0-0 with a 1.78 goals-against average, turned aside 31 shots in a 3-0 victory over the Avalanche on Feb. 6. Colorado has scored just one goal in each of its last two contests and the under is 4-0 in the Avalanche’s last four games vs. a team with a winning record.

Pucking the trends: This week's best NHL bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the week of Feb. 17-23.

Hot team

Chicago Blackhawks (3-0 SU)

Chicago improved to 14-0-3 after posting a 2-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Friday, setting the record for most games without a regulation loss to start a season. The lowly Blue Jackets visit the United Center Sunday, and then Edmonton rolls into the Windy City on Monday.


Cold team

Buffalo Sabres (0-4 SU)

Not even a coaching change could spark this team. The axe dropped on long-time coach Lindy Ruff because of the Sabres’ poor start and now interim head coach Ron Rolston has the daunting task of cleaning up the mess. Buffalo travels to the Sunshine State this week for clashes with the Lightning and Panthers.


Best over play

Philadelphia Flyers (4-0 over/under)

The Flyers are back on track after a slow start, posting wins in three of their last four games. Philadelphia has found the back of the net 20 times during that stretch and Scott Hartnell has returned from injury to provide an added offensive punch. The Flyers continue their five-game homestand Monday when the Maple Leafs visit Wells Fargo Center.


Best under play

San Jose Sharks (0-3 over/under)

After opening the season with seven straight wins, the Sharks have dropped nine of their last 10 games. San Jose has scored an average of 1.2 goals per game during the losing skid, resulting in its stellar 4-12-1 O/U mark. San Jose returns to the Shark Tank for three contests with the Avalanche, Red Wings and Predators this week.

Surveying the schedule:

-The Edmonton Oilers begin a daunting nine-game road trip Monday in Chicago. The Oilers will play those nine contests over 17 days and have been an excellent under play away from Rexall Place (1-6 O/U).

-The New York Islanders begin a seven-game homestand Sunday when they host the Hurricanes, but that isn't necessarily a good thing for New York. The Isles have a horrendous 2-6 SU record at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
