02-21-20 | Bruins -130 v. Flames | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Boston Bruins Boston has won four straight and is 9-1 L10 as they look to hold off a raging Tampa Bay in the Atlantic. This is game three of a four-game swing through the West but just their second game in five days so tired legs will not be a problem here. The Flames are sub-.500 at home, 5-5 L10 overall. At 30 cents, we'll play the NHL's top point getter to pick up a win here. |

02-20-20 | Penguins +101 v. Maple Leafs | 0-4 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Pittsburgh Penguins The Pens have run down the slumping Capitals and now lead the Metro by a point. Pittsburgh is really a complete team in that they excel in almost every aspect of play and that they are resilient in that when they have key injuries (most recently Malkin), it's next man up and they generally get big contributions. Pens 7-2-1 L10 and facing a Leaf team that just can't keep the puck out of the net. Pittsburgh gets a confident nod. |

02-19-20 | Wild v. Canucks -123 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -123 | 12 h 34 m | Show |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Vancouver Canucks The teams have split games this year. Vancouver has battled injuries of late but just picked up scoring forward Tyler Toffoli (18 G, 16 A) from the Kings in an effort to bolster their scoring. The Canucks have one of the strongest home ice advantages in the NHL with just 7 losses in regulation. Minnesota has struggled to a 10-17 (10-15-2) slate on enemy ice and will have the worst of it between the pipes tonight. Impossible to pass Vancouver at just 23 cents. |
|||||||
02-18-20 | Maple Leafs v. Penguins -135 | 2-5 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Pittsburgh Penguins The Penguins have weathered the storm of being without Sidney Crosby for two months and now find themselves just one point back of the slumping Caps in the Metropolitan Division. Sid the Kid has been on a tear since his return and the Penguins are right there with the Bruins as the best home ice team in the NHL with just five losses in regulation. The Maple Leafs are just a 50-50 proposition on the road and playing .500 hockey since the break. The Pens have a substantial advantage between the pipes and the 35 cent impost is impossible to pass up. |
|||||||
02-16-20 | Stars -150 v. Senators | 3-4 | Loss | -150 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Dallas Stars The Senators appear to have hit the wall and are just 2-5-3 L10. Ottawa had been a tough place to play but in the second half, the Sens have even struggled on home ice. Dallas is raging at the moment at 7-2-1 and trail the slumping Blues by just a point in the Central. The Stars have the best goaltending tandem in hockey and enough scoring to be very dangerous in the playoffs. Solid value at just 50 cents here. |

02-14-20 | Rangers v. Blue Jackets -145 | 3-1 | Loss | -145 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Columbus Blue Jackets The Blue Jackets have to be one of the surprise teams in the NHL this year and John Tortorella has to be considered one of the strongest candidates for coach of the year. Columbus is 6-1-3 L10 and has been a killer on home ice at 18-10-3. Good spot for the Blue Jackets at a fair price. |
|||||||
02-10-20 | Panthers v. Flyers -130 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Philadelphia Flyers Two hot teams out of the East that are in a H2H for one of the last three playoff spots in the East do battle tonight in Philly. The Panthers are 6-3-1 L10, the Flyers are 7-2-1 L10 but the difference here is home ice where the Flyers are 18-5-4. Philly will also have a slight edge between the pipes against the defensively suspect Panthers. The price is definitely right. |
|||||||
02-09-20 | Ducks v. Sabres -126 | 3-2 | Loss | -126 | 4 h 19 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Buffalo Sabres Tough spot for the Ducks who complete a convoluted five game roadies here. This is there third game in four nights after losses at Toronto and Montreal. Buffalo had a nice first half but appear to be destined to miss the playoffs again. They've been treading water (5-4-1) of late but have been a tough out on home ice where the club celebrates it's 50th anniversary season. The Sabres are off a nice road win at the Rangers in last and have the Red Wings on deck. If Buff WERE to get something going to make a run, it would have to start here against a Duck team that is 10-20 this year on the road. |
|||||||
02-08-20 | Flames v. Canucks -125 | Top | 6-2 | Loss | -125 | 11 h 5 m | Show |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Vancouver Canucks Don't look now but the Canucuks lead the five-team log jam that is the NHL Pacific. Vancouver is solid fundamentally in all aspects but has especially stood out on home ice where the Canucks are rocking a 17-5-4 home ice badge. Calgary has been average after a fast start and at the end of the day are basically a .500 middle of the pack type of club. Vancouver is home off a long convoluted roadie against some pretty good teams and gets the money here. |
|||||||
02-04-20 | Oilers +115 v. Coyotes | 0-3 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Edmonton Oilers These are two Pacific Division teams clearly headed in opposite directions. The Coyotes have lost five straight and simply can't put the puck in the net. The surging Oilers are 7-1-2 L10 and off an 8-3 beat down of Alberta rival Calgary which should have this team fired up. The Oilers have done their best work on the road and their snipers (Draisaitl, McDavid) and specialty teams (especially the power play) are hitting on all cylinders. If Edmonton gets out on a lead early, it's going to be a long day for the homestanding Desert Dogs. |
|||||||
02-01-20 | Lightning -170 v. Sharks | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 12 h 29 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on Tampa Bay Bullet Analysis to follow: Not the best of spots for a busy Tampa Bay outfit that will ultimately wind up playing four games in six nights on this long East Coast swing. That said, the Bolts rae 7-2-1 L10 and have been the best team in hockey in the second half. San Jose is riddled with injuries and just playing out the string at this point. |
|||||||
02-01-20 | Rangers -145 v. Red Wings | 1-0 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
DMack Power Pack winner on NY Rangers Bullet Analysis to follow: This is a rare NHL true home-and-home, the Rangers winning 4-2 last night in Madison Square Garden. While the Rangers have been holding their own in the ultra-competitive East, the Wings are on pace to go down as one of the worst NHL teams in history, life and death to get 50 points. Rangers right back. |
|||||||
01-29-20 | Coyotes -116 v. Ducks | 2-4 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Arizona Coyotes Headed into the break, there were five teams within two points in the ultra-competitive Pacific Division and it figures it will be a dogfight for playoff spots the rest of the way. The break probably came at a good time for the Coyotes whose strong defense and timely scoring expends a lot of energy nightly. The Coyotes are one the league's better road teams and they face a Duck outfit here that is playing out the string and is just 3-7 L10. Arizona with big edge between the pipes and the price is definitely right. |
|||||||
01-27-20 | Blues -116 v. Canucks | Top | 1-3 | Loss | -116 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the St Louis Blues The Blues have not suffered any type of "Cup" hangover and have been a top three team in the league from the git go. Vancouver has been a pleasant surprise and has been especially tough on home ice but ... the Canucks are just 3-6 L9 as a home dog of less than a quarter while the Blues are 7-2 in the their L9 Conference home games with extended rest. Binnington between the pipes also has to be considered an advantage for the invaders. St. Louis finds a way to come out of the break on a positive note. |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Jets -101 v. Blackhawks | 2-5 | Loss | -101 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Winnipeg Jets Both teams are struggling to stay in the playoff hunt and with just two point separating the two in the Central, this is an important game for both teams. In this virtual pick'em, several things point to Winnipeg as the visitor has won the last four series meetings with the Jets winning their last three trips to the United Center. The Jets are 6-2 L8 in the series overall and have done their best work with suitcase all year at 14-8-2 while a sub.500 11-11-2 at home. Take Winnipeg in a game that should be played at playoff intensity. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Sharks v. Canucks -150 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 18 h 26 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday NHL Power Pack winner is on the Vancouver Canucks Bullet Analysis: The Canucks are having a breakout year, thanks in large part to their 15-5-3 record on home ice. Vancouver is one of the better offensive teams in the NHL and face a Shark outfit that plays little defense and at 8-13-3 on enemy ice (ostensibly 8-16) and has shown nothing to indicate things are going to change. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Golden Knights -124 v. Canadiens | 4-5 | Loss | -124 | 16 h 31 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday NHL Power Pack winner is on the Vegas Golden Knights Bullet Analysis: VGK changed coaches and predictably came out flying and spanked Ottawa at their place. A road win at the Senators should not be brushed over as the Sens are one of the tougher teams at home in the East. Montreal off a shock win at Philly is another team that will be a major seller at the deadline. Price is right. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Kings v. Flyers -158 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 15 h 23 m | Show | |
DMack Saturday NHL Power Pack winner is on the Philadelphia Flyers Bullet Analysis: The Flyers were inexplicably punked on home ice 48 hours ago by Montreal to fall to 15-4-4 at the Wells Fargo Center. Tonight, they can refocus against a Kings team that is 7-16-4 on the road and not much putting the puck in the net. The Flyers are to the point where they must win games like these at home where they are super tough if they have any hope of not missing the post-season another year. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | Canadiens v. Flyers -130 | Top | 4-1 | Loss | -130 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Philadelphia Flyers The Canadiens are in a 2-7-1 freefall and are benching vets including Corey Price for their young talent, throwing in the towel for the most part. They'll face a Flyer team that has been a monster at home (15-3-4) and looking to get something going before the break after coming home from a long West Coast roadie. Thirty cents got our attention immediately and looks to be the best play in tonight's Frozen Pond action. |
|||||||
01-11-20 | Stars -115 v. Sharks | 1-2 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack subscriber bonus play on the Dallas Stars Bullet analysis: Not an easy spot for Dallas playing third game in four nights but the last place Sharks are a defensive seive. Star superior goaltending makes the difference here as Dallas completed Kings, Ducks, Sharks sweep. |

01-09-20 | Oilers +117 v. Canadiens | 4-2 | Win | 117 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Edmonton Oliers Bullet Analysis: The Oilers do their best work on the road and face a struggling Canadiens outfit that has lost seven straight and has shown little spark from recent trades. Habs with no answer for Edmonton's high-powered offense. |
|||||||
01-07-20 | Avalanche -143 v. Rangers | 3-5 | Loss | -143 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Colorado Avalanche The Rangers start the top prospect in their organization tonight (G. Shesterkin, 15-4-3 AHL) and throw him right into the fire with a start against Colorado. Shesterkin is reportedly the best of a new wave of top Russian net minders and he rocks a .932 save percentage at Hartford. He'll face a the highest scoring offense in the league in Colorado who finds the back of the net 3.71 times per game. The Avs will be a bit salty after getting shut out 1-0 by the Islanders in their last. Colorado had scored 12 goals in their two prior games to that, wins over St. Louis and the Devils. This is a big task for the rook, especially backed by a team that has lost three straight and is just 3-6-1 in its L10. Price is fair. |
|||||||
01-06-20 | Jets +128 v. Canadiens | 3-2 | Win | 128 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Winnipeg Jets The Jets are just 1-4 over their L5 but in a great spot to get back on track here. Winnipeg has been through the gauntlet the L10 days, getting swept in a home-and-home with St. Louis, beating a top Avalanche team 7-4, and then losing to Toronto and Minnesota in overtime. The Jets have been money on enemy ice at 12-7-2 and face a struggling Montreal team that is sub.500 (8-13) in its own crib and just 3-6-1 overall. Lets grab the very generous 30 cents. |
|||||||
01-05-20 | Flames v. Wild +101 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 37 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Minnesota Wild Not much separates these two, both are middle of the road Western Conference teams that will be life and death to make the playoffs and both have the M.O. of doing it's best work on home ice. In fact, the Wild have been dominant at 11-4-3 in the Twin Cities and that figures to improve as Minnesota "catches up" after playing a heavily front-loaded road schedule in the first half. These teams met here on Dec 23 with the Wild skating to a routine 3-0 win over the Flames and we expect a similar result here. |
|||||||
01-04-20 | Flyers v. Coyotes -125 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 16 h 56 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Arizona Coyotes This is a tough spot for Philly which plays game five of this six game roadie. The Flyers are 1-3 to this point allowing 5-5-6 goals in the losses and beating the Kings 2-1. Off a 5-4 loss to VGK, and teams playing off a game against the Knights have done poorly. Arizona is in chase mode now after a week at the top of the Pacific. The Desert Dogs have won two straight after a brief hiccup but get the best of it here and should have no excuses. |

01-03-20 | Capitals +116 v. Hurricanes | 4-3 | Win | 116 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Washington Caps Washington and St Louis have far and away established themselves as the best in the East and West respectively. The Caps have hit a 5-5 flat spot of late but catch plus money here against a very good Carolina team. That said, Caps have had a propensity to play up and down to their opposition (see Caps vs. Blue Jackets) and have lost 6 of the L7 in the series to the Canes, 0-2 TY. Figure Washington to be at their best here tonight in dominating win. |
|||||||
01-02-20 | Maple Leafs -134 v. Jets | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Toronto Maple Leafs The Leafs have finally found their mojo after a disappointing start and are 8-1-1 L10 to storm into second in the Atlantic division behind the Caps and three points ahead of the also reborn Tampa Bay Lightning. Winnipeg was showing "buy" signs but have stumbled in a 4-5-1 run where they have not played well at home. The Jets have done their best work on enemy ice and a white-hot visitor that has even more fire power than the hosts. Lay it with the small road chalk. |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Predators v. Stars -115 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 49 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Dallas Stars This is the annual Winter Classic and it will be played outdoors in of all places Dallas. Ice is not a problem in this age of high tech and the temps during the game are predicted to be mild between 46-55 degrees. Nashville has struggled all year despite trying to amp up their offense in last year's off-season. Dallas has overcome a very slow start and is 6-3-1 L10 and has always been tough at home, 13-6-2, again … after a slow start. The Stars also have the difference maker in G Ben Bishop who will be among the best on the ice. These outdoor games are real treats for the players and played at high intensity. Take Dallas at the nice price. |

12-29-19 | Devils v. Senators -135 | 4-3 | Loss | -135 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Ottawa Senators Ottawa traded off many of their veteran pieces (Mark Stone) last year and are looking to see again this year before the trade deadline. That said, the Senators have a nice group of core players that have played well, especially on home ice where the Sens are 11-5-1. They'll meet the Devils who have played somewhat better of late but are still just 7-11 on enemy ice and are second in the league for worst goal differential at -38. The price is fair and we'll back the rebuild that plays hard and has been dominant on home ice. |
|||||||
12-28-19 | Predators v. Penguins -121 | 4-6 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Pittsburgh Penguins The Pens not only survived six weeks without Sidney Crosby, they flourished. Sid The Kid is almost ready and the Pens have found scoring from unlikely sources and have also found their goaltender of the future in Tristan Jarry (1.87 GAA). The Pens are a handful on home ice (14-4-2) and face a Nashville team that is a .500 unit at best and will hands and knees to make the playoffs. 20 cents is impossible to pass up. |

12-27-19 | Blues -120 v. Jets | 5-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the St Louis Blues The Champs are 6 points the best in the West and have been a model of consistency going 12-4-3 both home and away. Further, they've won 6 straight and have given up less goals than any team other than the Stars, Penguins, and Islanders. The Jets have basically been a .500 club most of the year and actually do their best work on enemy ice while struggling to 8 home losses before the 1st of the year. Winnipeg has shown little to indicate they're ready to throw a cooler at the Blues so we'll grab the nice price with the visitors. |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Blues -140 v. Kings | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Washington Caps Bullet Analysis: The Bruins are is a 2-4-4 funk (2-8) despite still leading the very weak Atlantic division. The Caps have been the best team in the NHL start to finish in the first 1/3 of the season and can look to send a little message to that effect here … and at plus money! |

12-22-19 | Golden Knights -140 v. Sharks | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 15 h 7 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Las Vegas Golden Knights VGK/Sharks is now arguably THE premier rivalry in the Western Conference today. The teams do not like each other one bit and the this year's series season finale will be payed with playoff intensity. VGK won the first two games, a home and home to start the season and the Sharks won in OT in late November. The Knights might just have been looking ahead to this game while playing poorly in Vancouver in their last. Looking for a energized focused effort here against a San Jose outfit that was mauled by St Louis last night. Fleury has it all over Martin Jones. |

12-21-19 | Lightning v. Capitals +102 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 102 | 10 h 22 m | Show |
Mack Attack NHL Play of the Day is on the Washington Caps Thought I smelled a rat looking at this line. Not the best of spots for the Caps who beat the Devils 6-3 in New Jersey last night. Multiple Caps on the injury report as well but just minor dings and as of this writing, nobody has been "declared" out. The Caps have won both meetings this year, the last just one week ago tonight when the Caps spanked the Bolts 5-2 on their home ice. Been waiting for Tampa Bay to get it together but that just hasn't happened. Old hockey adage is that you are what you are by Thanksgiving. Might be time to accept that the Lightning's window has closed and that this is a .500 tea across the board. In the mean time take Washington to extend their series run to four straight games. |

12-16-19 | Capitals -155 v. Blue Jackets | 0-3 | Loss | -155 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Washington Capitals The Caps are on a record points pace through a third of the NHL schedule and hitting on all cylinders. Washington is 8-1-1 L10 and a mind boggling 15-2-1 on enemy ice. The Caps only regulation loss in 10 games was to these same Blue Jackets so you would figure the visitors to be on guard here. In two more games than Columbus, Washington has scored 46 more goals. Can't beat 55 cents if you are going to plays. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Kings This is B2B for both teams, the Kings shootout losers at Pittsburgh, the Wings 2-1 winners at Montreal. The Kings prior were off impressive wins over the Rangers and Ducks and overall you have to like their play over the last 10 days, the goaltending has been outstanding. The Wings have won two straight after 12 straight losses. These two improbable would seem to be an aberration as their three games prior were losses by a 15-4 aggregate. Jack Campbell looks to get the call between the pipes here and his number are slightly better than Jamie Quick. Have seen the Kings a lot of late and will play here with confidence. |

DMack Subscriber NHL Bonus Play is on the Arizona Coyotes Don't look now but Arizona sits atop the Pacific division. Their defense and goaltending has been excellent and if this team were to ever get a dominant scorer … look out! In the mean time, watch the Desert Dogs to continue to pound teams like the Devils who are 5-10 on the road and 2-7-1 L10. The price ??? I'm sure we've all laid worse with less qualified baseball favorites. Not necessarily a great puck-line bet but you don't pay juice when you win either. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Washington Capitals Things have really broken right for the Caps who are off to a historic start. Washington played a tough early season heavy schedule and are now well rested with easy to deal with schedule as teams look to make up games. The Caps have without question shook off their 2017 Cup hangover and will be tough to deal with with their big time snipers and excellent special teams. Tampa Bay has had a third of the season to show that they are better than an off kilter .500 team and haven't. |

DMack Subscriber NHL Bonus Play is on the Minnesota Wild The Wild sit fifth in the loaded Central division of the Western Conference but expect this team to make a move in the next 30 days. The Wild have played 20 road games and just 12 home games where they've lost just once (8-1-3) in regulation. They play a similar team here in the Flyers who are killers at home but very ordinary on enemy ice. Strangely enough, the Wild go on the road again for three games before coming home to play 8 of 10 at home through Jan 12th. Looking for Minnesota to make the best of a good spot here. |

DMack's Subscriber NHL Bonus Play winner is on the Carolina Hurricane The Canes have won three straight and four of five with the lose loss 2-0 at Boston, no shame there. Carolina is 19-11-1 with an excellent goal differential. The Canes showed "buy" signs last year and look to be ready to take the next step this year as the best team you're probably least familiar with. Carolina smoked division leading Edmonton 6-3 in game one of this challenging five-game (Calgary, Winnipeg, Colorado, on deck) and appear ready for more with the offense hitting on all cylinders. |

DMack's Subscriber NHL Bonus Play winner is on the Pittsburgh Penguins The Pens have done a great job holding down the fort while Sidney Crosby recovers from sports hernia surgery and has been especially (12-4-2) tough at home. Pitt has had to trouble putting the puck in net and is 3rd in goals without "The Kid" in the lineup. Only Detroit and New Jersey have scored less than the Blue Jackets who rock a 4-9 road record when combined with their lack of fire power makes the 70 cents acceptable. |

12-11-19 | Flyers v. Avalanche -155 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Colorado Avalanche The Flyers are playoff team out of the East but make no mistake, their current hot 7-2-1 L10 run is beating up team from the Eastern Conference on their home ice where they are super tough. Philly is on the road here against a team that could very well contend for the Stanley Cup coming out of the much tougher and superior West and the Avs will start catching up on home games after playing a road heavy first 30 games. The McKinnon line is arguably the most dangerous in the league and the Flyers will have problems keeping off the board here. Colo a tad expensive here but the price is reflective of Avs quality. |

DMack NHL Power Pack Play is on the Florida Panthers The Panthers are in third in the very weak Atlantic but still have multiple games in hand. The Jackets have scored 26 less goals than the offensively minded Panthers despite having played two more games and just don't have the fire power to keep up on enemy ice. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Washington Capitals Know the old expression, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" ??? That's what we're doing here with the Washington Caps on this West coast swing where they seem to be laying just 50 cents against the worst of bottom feeders. The Caps are 13-2-1 on the road and 7-2-1 L10 overall. They lead the NHL in points and goals and have basically relaxed for two days after routinely dispatching the Kings 48 hour ago. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Washington Capitals It's fairly obvious to see that the Caps have brushed away their Stanley Cup championship hangover and are hungry again and really taking care of business. The Ovechkins have won four straight and are 12-2-1 on the road in 15 games this year, 7-2-1 L10. The Kings are a different team at home (9-5-1) as opposed to the road (2-10-1) but lack the fire power (have scored 37 less goals than the Caps) to trade with Washington. The price is fair and the Kings would need a monumental effort from Jamie Quick to even compete here. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the NY Islanders We've been doing very well with both of these teams of late, tailing the Islanders and fading the Canadiens. The 18-5-2 Islanders have been the gold standard of the NHL through 25 games, seemingly with a flaw to their game. NYI is 7-3-1 on the road, 7-2-1 L10 and face a Hab outfit that lost five straight by a 27-14 aggregate. The 27 goals allowed is most disturbing as it is almost half the goals the visitors have allowed in 25 games. Wrong team favored here. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the St Louis Blues The champs lead the Western Conference in points despite battling numerous key injuring and look to be well on the road to defend their Stanley Cup title. St Louis is 9-2 in regulation time on enemy ice and face a Blackhawks team that is off two straight coolers after a pretty good run. Chicago has had trouble keeping the puck out of its own net and is off a 7-3 spanking in Denver Saturday. The Blues drilled Pittsburgh 5-2 Saturday and in a good scheduling spot the next seven days. The price is definite right. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the NY Islanders The Jackets are in the bottom three in the league in goals scored and that's after a five-goal "explosion" in a 5-2 win over Pittsburgh last night. Not good, against a stone wall defensive team like the Islander with excellent goaltending. The Islanders are 10-2-1 on home ice, not really a bullet for a team that is 16-5-2 overall but this team showed signs last year in the first year under Barry Trotz and obviously for real. Price is fair considering Jackets second of B2B plus travel. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Winnipeg Jets The Jets got off to a slow start but have found their groove and are currently on a sweet 7-2-1 run in their L10. Winnipeg has done it's best work on the road and rocks the best record on enemy ice in the Western Conference at 9-4-0. The Ducks are in danger of watching their season crash and burn thanks to their current 2-5-3 run. The Quack Attack has not found the back of the net and very few teams can trade goals with the Jets. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Arizona Coyotes I'm one of the few believers in the Coyotes who think their fast start is no aberration. The Desert Dogs were showing signs last year and that has carried over into this year with even better results. In many ways, the Coyotes are the "Islanders Light". Great goaltending, excellent defense and coaching but missing the proven goal scorers that can put them over the top. The Ducks are struggling at 4-7-1 on the road and 2-5-3 L10 and don't figure to improve here. |

Boston is 15-3 in 60 minute regulation but for whatever reason has lost 5 games in OT or shootouts which is surprising in that they several players that are great one-on-one and in open ice and also get excellent goaltending from Rask. in any case, the Bruins are 6-3-1 on enemy ice facing a team it doesn't like that is basically 6-6 at home.

Edmonton sits tied atop the ultra-competitive Pacific division and will be salty off 5-2 home ice loss to the Blues. The price is a bit high but you don't pay juice when you win and will probably be North of 80 cents when they drop the puck. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Vegas Golden Knights The Flyers have lost four straight games, not co-incidentally all Western Conference teams. Philly gets the best of the bunch tonight in Vegas which started this East Coast swing with a 3-0 whitewash of the Penguins for the franchises 100th win. VGK's biggest flaw is defense but that seems to be getting solved with recent changes. Vegas' first two lines are both hitting on all cylinders and special teams, especially the power play, have been excellent. Philly has had trouble scoring, lighting the lamp just 15 times in six games and things don't figure to improve here. Vegas has been getting off the fast starts and if the Knight's solve Hart early, it could be a long KNIGHT for the hosts. The price is definitely right. |

Dallas is off to a horrific start at 1-6-1, 1-4 on the road, and with just 15 goals in eight games which just won't get it done. Pittsburgh has had some injuries but hasn't missed a beat with Sidney Crosby off to an MVP (4 G, 8 A) type of start. Price is certainly fair. |

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on VGK Don't get the impression that we're playing VGK every time they set foot on the ice but we will pick our spots and use them when it makes sense. Tonight, at -125, makes sense. Nashville has had no success against VGK in their two years of existence and the Preds figured to take a step back this year after a couple of runs at the Cup. The window is closed and the Preds are an average team in the West, good at home, will struggle on the road. VGK is 4-2 with the losses to arguably the best team in hockey (Boston) and at Arizona with Malcolm Subban between the pipes in the hope of giving Fleury a rest. In just two years, T-Mobil Arena has become one of the more electric venues and strongest home ice arenas in hockey and the Knights are a top five team, any way you look at it. Might even look at the puck line here. |

We basically have a 5-0 team that has a +9 goal differential as a 25 cent dog to an 0-3 team that hasn't been able to keep the puck out of it's net for almost five years. Final game of a four-game East Coast swing for the Oilers who have had plenty of rest between games and have no perceivable reason to come up with a flat/poor performance here.

Columbus is 1-3 to start with a 8-16 goal differential and it's going to be a long year. Carolina is off to a franchise best 5-0 start and Top 3 in every valuable hockey metric there is.

The Canes have been on fire out of the gate, going 4-0 against some top teams in the East. The Islanders figured to take a step back this year after overachieving in the first year under Barry Trotz. Still early but the Islanders are struggling on offense and that's not a good position to be in against a Carolina outfit hitting on all cylinders and on home ice to boot.

Not the best of spots here either for the Devils who were embarrassingly bad in the first of this back-to-back, a 4-0 loss to the Flyers. Edmonton is off to a surprising 3-0 start with the offense hitting on all cylinders. Is this the year the Oilers break through with all their top draft picks after almost two decades of futility ??? If it is, they need to win games like these against the door mats of the East and grabbing some all so important points before heading home to face constant street fights against the much better opposition in the West. |

Make no mistake that these teams do not like each other and in two short years the bad blood has escalated to Ravens/Steelers proportions. Both teams battling injuries early but VGK rocks far superior depth. This is the back end of a home-and-home with Vegas easily winning 4-1 Wednesday scoring twice in the first five minutes. Between the pipes, Fleury versus Martin Jones is a mismatch of Pats/Dolphins proportions. Take VGK. |

That said, Boston can still field a team that can play with the Blues but just haven't been able to pull the trigger with important goals. Win or go home for Boston but expect to see an equally desperate St Louis team that will be life and death to clinch on home ice. Binnington has been superb between the pipes for the Blues and offensively, someone just seems to step up when it counts. The Blues run since the first of the year has been well documented and no need to rehash here. Worst to first and tonight it culminates with the first Stanley Cup Championship is St Louis Blues franchise history. Blues win, lets say a couple of late empty netters makes it 4-1. |

DMack's Thursday Night NHL Ice Pick is on the Boston Bruins Boston finds itself in the almost the same situation as Golden State. The Bruins are the better team but have been ravaged by injuries at absolutely the wrong time. Depending on Chara and and other injuries on the blue line, the Bruins could suit seven defensemen tonight and again, that is contingent on who can and can't go. The Blues played their perfect game in Game IV and don't figure to repeat that effort, especially if the Bruins get off to a fast start. Home ice and the cream rises to the top here.

DMack's Monday NHL Ice Pick is on the Boston Bruins In Game III, the Bruins established what many knew all along and that was that Boston is just the better and more experienced team. St Louis has made a lot of mistakes and taken more absolutely rediculous penalties and the Bruins have made them pay by going 6-16 on the power play with 18 shots and lots of quality chances. Leopards don't change their spots and the Blues will be that much probable to come unglued with their backs against the wall in what is for the most part a must win. Looking for a rough and tumble physical first 10 minutes until Boston scores first and the floodgates open up. Boston 4-2. |

The Islanders have picked a bad time to not be able to score and now must travel to a tough venue to try to get one of their two home ice losses back.

The Caps actually had this won in six until a bad call disallowed a goal that would have put the defending Stanley Cup champs over the top. Ovechkin nearly went beserk at the end of the game which was likely well thought out to get the Caps focused as things are falling perfectly for them to defend their Cup.

At the end of the day, don't know how the Jets bounce back from blowing a Game Five 2-0 lead late to lose to the Blues 3-2 in one of the most shocking results in the playoffs in any sport. The Blues have been the hottest team in hockey since the first of the year and have to be fired up after being given a second life. St Louis closes out the series here. |

DMack's Thursday Night NHL Ice Pick is on the Golden Knights Strange that you would figure the natural rivalry for Las Vegas would come through Los Angeles with the Kings of Duck, maybe even the Coyotes if there was more interest in that part of the desert. The rivalry has by was of San Jose and the teams do no like each other one bit and for the second year of their existence, VGK will put the Sharks on vacation .... TONIGHT! Martin Jones just cannot figure out VGK and the Knights have a huge edge between the pipes and especially now with the Sone-Stasny-Pancioretti line hitting on all cylinder. What's teal, black, and white and plays golf ??? The San Jose Sharks. |

DMack's Wednesday NHL Ice Pick is on the Colorado Avalanche The Avs are as dangerous as any team in hockey at this point, finding their best stride at exactly the right time of the season. The Avalanche could very well be up 3-0 in the series and playing for the closeout here had it not been for some Game One home cooking at The Saddledome. The Flames have the same problem as San Jose faces in its series with Vegas, their goaltending is way below playoff standards. That's big trouble when you face a team with similar or better offense and a rock between the pipes. Avalanche 5-3 |

DMack's Tuesday NHL Ice Pick is on the Vegas Golden Knights It looks like VGK has finally flicked the switch and that is bad news for the San Jose Sharks. VGK has had no problem solving Martin Jones and the big line of Stone, Pancioretty, and Stasny is hitting on all cylinders. Home ice has been big for Vegas in it's brief history and they're 11-3 at T-Mobile with two of those losses coming to the Caps in last year's final. VGK 5-2. |
