Pucking the Trends: NHL's weekly betting news and notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the week of March 24-30

Hot team

Los Angeles Kings (4-0 SU)

The Kings are rounding into form at just the right time, putting together a four-win week to solidify its spot as the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference. Los Angeles fashioned a perfect 3-0 road trips with victories in Philadelphia, Washington and Pittsburgh before finishing things off with a 4-2 home triumph over the Winnipeg Jets. Netminder Jonathan Quick has been the catalyst for the Kings' late-season surge, winning each of his last five decisions and sitting at a scorching 11-2-0 over his last 13 games.


Cold team

Toronto Maple Leafs (0-3 SU)

Toronto fans have gone from moderately concerned to virtually inconsolable after watching their beloved Maple Leafs extend their losing streak to a season-high eight games. Toronto looked outclassed from start to finish in a 5-3 loss to the St. Louis Blues, then dropped a 4-2 decision to the Philadelphia Flyers and ended the week with a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the St. Louis Blues. The Maple Leafs will look to turn things around this week with a three-game homestand that includes games against Calgary, Boston and Winnipeg.


Best Over play

Nashville Predators (4-0 O/U)

Well, this is unexpected. Traditionally one of the most defensive-minded, offense-starved teams in the NHL, the Predators let their hair down last week and handsomely rewarded those over bettors who put their faith in them. Nashville opened the week with a 5-4 shootout loss to the Colorado Avalanche before bouncing back nicely in a 6-1 trouncing of the Buffalo Sabres. That momentum didn't carry over - the Predators dropped their next game 7-3 in Dallas - but they ended on a high with a 4-3 shootout triumph over Washington.


Best Under play

Pittsburgh Penguins (0-3-1 O/U)

Seeing the Penguins as a strong under play is almost as unlikely as tabbing the Predators as kings of the over. And yet, an 0-4-1 O/U run has Pittsburgh actually favouring the under for the season; it has surrendered the third-fewest goals in the Eastern Conference entering Monday, boasting sensational defense and goaltending to go along with its high-powered offense. The Penguins bounced back from consecutive 3-2 losses to Phoenix and Los Angeles by edging the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 and routing visiting Chicago 4-1.


Surveying the schedule

There's never a good time for a Western Conference team to embark on a four-game jaunt through the East, but the timing is especially bad for the Dallas Stars. They open the week one point behind Phoenix in the race for the final West wild-card spot, but will play its next four games outside Texas, where it owns a subpar 15-17-4 record on the season. Dallas kicks off the stretch in Washington before heading south to face the Carolina Hurricanes, Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers in a four-day span.

This week's best NHL spot bet opportunities
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Letdown spot

The Senators are in a quick turnaround spot on Monday night, coming off a much-needed 6-3 win over Calgary on Sunday. Having collected at least a point in four straight games, winning three of those, I don't see a home game against the lowly Hurricanes drawing enough intensity.

Note that Carolina hasn't lost back-to-back games since March 15th and 16th and have picked up at least a point in three of its last four contests. This is the more winnable game for the Canes on a tough two-game trip that will also include a stop in Pittsburgh.


Lookahead spot

The Kings will host the Coyotes on Wednesday night, but could have one eye on Thursday's date with the rival Sharks in San Jose.

Phoenix has been a much better team on home ice this season, but that hasn't necessarily been the case lately. The 'Yotes enter the new week having won three of their last four games on the road, including a 4-3 victory in Los Angeles.


Schedule spot

A tough turnaround for the Blue Jackets on Friday night, as they return home to host a team they always struggle against, the Blackhawks, fresh off a game in Philadelphia on Thursday.

The Jackets are fighting for their playoff lives, but with the Blackhawks coming off a rough patch, I expect to see the defending Stanley Cup champs bring their 'A' game into this affair.

Tuesday, April 1


Jagr says Devils got "lucky," not impressed

Despite a 6-3 win victory over the Panthers and a four-point night, Jaromir Jagr was unhappy with the Devils Monday.

“We gotta play better hockey than today,” Jagr said, per NJ.com. “That’s for sure. Otherwise we don’t have a chance. We’ve gotta play better hockey. We were lucky.”

New Jersey has been far from spectacular on the road in recent memory, going just 20-54 in their last 74 away from home. The Devils (-156) look to clutch onto their playoff hopes when they face the lowly the Buffalo Sabres (+146) Tuesday.


Lightning/Canadiens clash in possible playoff preview

When the Lighting and Canadiens take to the ice in Tampa Bay Tuesday, there will be huge implications.

The Lightning, who currently sit two points behind Montreal in the standings, are trying to pass the Habs for second in the Metropolitan division and home-ice advantage in a likely first round playoff matchup. With a win, the Canadiens will officially book their tickets to the playoffs.
These two teams have had incredibly tight games so far this season, two went to a shootout and one to overtime, with Tampa Bay holding a 2-0-1 record.

The road team has been dominant in this series, taking five of the past six, which bodes well for Montreal (+120) who searches for their sixth straight when they visit Tampa Bay (-130) Tuesday.


Red Wings get last lease at Joe Louis Arena

The Detroit city council approved a new lease for the Detroit Red Wings and the Joe Louis Arena. The Red Wings have been discussing moving to a new arena and could very well do so as early as 2016, as the new lease expires in 2015.

Though a new arena will be nice, the team will have to miss the Joe Louis a little bit. The Red Wings have now had 20 straight seasons with playoffs in the building and have won two Stanley Cup finals there. Detroit also holds a remarkable record at the Joe Louis, going 469-225-27 in their last 721 home games.

Game of the Day: Bruins at Red Wings
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Bruins at Detroit Red Wings (+129, 5.5)

The rampaging Boston Bruins haven't lost in regulation or on the road in a month and will put both streaks on the line when they visit the Detroit Red Wings on Wednesday night. The Bruins are closing in on wrapping up the top seed in the Eastern Conference and hold a one-point lead over St. Louis in the race for the Presidents' Trophy. Boston is 15-0-1 since losing to Washington on March 1 and notched its franchise-record ninth straight road victory with a shootout win at Philadelphia on Sunday.

Detroit, which is a potential first-round playoff opponent of the Bruins, could receive a major boost in its bid to reach the postseason for a record 23rd consecutive time with Pavel Datsyuk expected to return to the lineup Wednesday or Friday. The Red Wings own a one-point lead over Columbus for the top wild card in the East despite a string of injuries that has gutted their roster. Detroit has won six of the past seven meetings against the Bruins, including a 6-1 thrashing at home on Nov. 27.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports, TSN2, RDS

LINE HISTORY: The line opened with the Red Wings as +129 home dogs. The total is set at 5.5.

INJURY REPORT: Detroit: C Pavel Datsyuk - questionable (knee)

WHY BET THE BRUINS (52-17-6): Patrice Bergeron extended his goal-scoring streak to seven games in Sunday's win - one shy of the club record set by Cam Neely in December 1990. Named the NHL's Second Star of the Week after scoring in all four games, Bergeron also owns an eight-game point streak and is within four goals of his career-best total of 31 set with Boston in 2005-06. Forward Jarome Iginla, named the league's First Star of the Month after scoring 13 goals to push his career mark to 560, is one shy of surpassing Guy Lafleur and moving into a tie with Mike Modano for 23rd place on the all-time list.

WHY BET THE RED WINGS (35-26-14): Detroit has posted back-to-back wins following a three-game losing streak and is looking forward to the return of Datsyuk, who has been sidelined since Feb. 27 with a left knee injury. “He’s one of the best two-way players in the game," goaltender Jimmy Howard said of Datsyuk, who is listed as a game-time decision. "We could definitely use him.” Datsyuk, who said he was encouraged after going through a full practice on Tuesday, has appeared in only five games since Jan. 1 - accumulating one assist - but has registered 15 goals and 18 assists in 39 games this season.

TRENDS:

* Under is 10-4-1 in the last 15 meetings.
* Bruins are 1-6 in the last seven meetings.
* Red Wings are 5-1 in their last six games vs. the Atlantic Division.
* Over is 18-3-5 in Bruins last 26 games vs. the Eastern Conference.

CONSENSUS: Seventy percent of wagers are on the Bruins -140.

Bruins lighting the lamp on the road

The Boston Bruins have been an enigma wrapped in a riddle as far as total bettors are concerned. At home, the Bruins have the most pushes in the NHL going 8-15-16 O/U. However, when the Bruins leave Boston they become an offensive juggernaut, carrying an O/U record of 22-11-3.

Boston has gone over in four of their past five road games and have scored four goals in each of those overs. Sticking to that trend, the Bruins have gone over in the one game the Red Wings visited them, but have gone under both times they hosted Detroit.

The Bruins and Red Wings total is currently 5.5.

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Coaching records of people from the Duke coaching tree.........

-- Mike Brey, 399-211-- Only guy on list who didn't play for Duke.

-- Tommy Amaker, 315-209-- Struggled at Seton Hall/Michigan, found good spot at Harvard.

-- Jeff Capel, 161-92-- Made NCAAs three times in nine years (VCU/Okla).

-- Quin Snyder 126-91-- Drifting thru NBA assistant coaching ranks after he got fired by Missouri for committing NCAA violations.

-- Johnny Dawkins 117-87-- Made NCAAs for first time this season.

-- Chris Collins 10-19-- Supposedly had a big recruiting year.

-- Bobby Hurley 19-10-- My guess as to who will replace Krzyzewski.

*****

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind.........

13) Aaron Harang/Matt Garza both had no-hitters thru six innings at Miller Park Wednesday; Chris Johnson homered in 7th, Braves won 1-0.

12) What are the odds the first Eagle-Redskin game is in primetime? Schedule is going to be released in mid-to-late April, always a fun day.

11) NBA referee Dick Bavetta worked his 2,633rd consecutive game last night; he is 74 years old, and still reffing NBA games. Wow.

10) Odd trivia: Bartolo Colon pitched against the Nationals last night, who are now managed by Matt Williams. Colon's major league debut was April 4, 1997, for the Indians, whose third baseman that night was......Matt Williams.

9) Bryce Harper is still the youngest guy in the major leagues.

8) A's got hosed on a replay call Wednesday afternoon, which begs the question, are they letting people know which umps are reviewing which game in New York?

My point is this: Angel Hernandez hasn't umpired yet, which means he is in New York doing replay reviews. Hernandez and Bob Melvin don't get along well; I do not want him deciding critical plays in A's games. Ever.

7) Houston hired Kelvin Sampson, Washington State hired Ernie Kent, couple of retreads getting jobs. From what I read, Sampson is set up to win right away with the Cougars-- they've got lot of players coming back next year, and Sampson is a proven winner at this level-- he just has to abide by NCAA rules.

Being ironical department: AD at Houston has a degree from Indiana, which was the last college job Sampson had.

6) How do these guys get jobs and not Ben Howland, who has been in three Final Fours and won the Pac-12 regular season thirteen months ago at UCLA?

5) Since 2000, Michigan State has been in the most Final Fours (5), followed by Florida, UConn and North Carolina with four each.

4) Over the last five years, under is 96-64 with Phil Cuzzi behind the plate. Over last three years, home underdogs are 6-22 with John Tumpane behind the dish.

3) Tampa Bay Rays gave pitcher Chris Archer six years, $25.5M; Archer has a career record of 10-10 in 27 career starts. Lot of calculated risk there.

2) Knicks won, Atlanta lost; both teams are both 10 games under .500, tied for the #8 slot and last playoff berth in the East. Dallas is 44-31, on the outside looking in on the western side. Doesn't seem right.

1) Major league baseball players get $99 a day on the road in meal money; NBA guys gets $124 a day. $124 buys an awful lot of pizza.

Quick story before I go: In 1974, A's brought up Claudell Washington, who went on to a 17-year big league career. That first year, Washington ate fast food, and with his leftover meal money, bought himself a mink coat. The big leagues are fun.
