Strike Point Sports
7-Unit Play. Take #66 Chicago (-135) over Anaheim (8:35) p.m., Saturday, Feb. 13)
Corey Crawford was rocked for 4 goals on a measly 18 shots Thursday night against the Stars but has dominated the Ducks over his career. He is 11-4-1 with 3 shutouts and has a 1.77 GAA while already winning both match-ups this season. He has stopped 62 of 64 shots against Anaheim this season and will look to bounce back after a shaky performance the other night. Chicago has now lost back to back home games in their last two and are seeing their lead at the top of the Central slowly dwindling. But just because they have two losses doesn't mean they have lost something on the ice. The Blackhawks dominated play in last game against the Stars especially late in the game but were not rewarded for their efforts. They outshot Dallas 21-2 in the third period and were flying all over the ice but the deficit was too big to overcome. This Blackhawk team is a better team the Anaheim on many levels and love their home dominance this season. They are 21-7-1on the season at home and have more depth on every line than Anaheim. Look for Chicago to bounce back and get a well deserved home win tonight.
1-Unit Play. Take #62 Florida (-120) over Nashville (7:05) p.m., Saturday, Feb. 13)
The Panthers, who were coming off Tuesday's 7-4 win at Buffalo, dropped 1-2-1 following a five game win streak and have taken a small step backwards. But the consistency of Luongo has me convinced that they will win tonight at home against this shaky Predators team. Luongo has a .893 save percentage over his last four games but is only giving up 2.23 GPG on the season. Florida still has one of the best defenses in the league allowing 2.3 GPG and is 7-3 in their last ten games at home. Florida's offense is also better than Nashville's. Prior to their last five games the Panthers were scoring at alarming rates. Averaging 5 GPG in the five before and dominating the ice with their youth and speed. I am betting this offense gets a jolt from this Nashville team who has given up 15 goals over their last 4 games. The Predators are 1-6 in their last 7 games against a team with a home winning percentage over .600 and really like Florida in this match up. Take the home team with the better goal tender.
3 Unit Play Take #54 Minnesota -115 over Boston (2:05pm st):
Minnesota is in desperate need of a win here having dropped their last 7 straight games overall. Each one of those defeats were either in a game on the road or in a game decided by one goal. They've outshot 5 of their last 6 opponents and had 35 or more shots in each one of those games.
Boston comes in having played the easiest schedule that any team has played this season in the NHL. They played all out in their last game as they were looking to avenge an ugly 9-2 home defeat the game previous. It was not only a big win for them last game but was also their first game of a long road trip which means a lot less motivation here to win this one especially with this being a tough afternoon road game.

#550 N.C.-Wilmington -6.5(-110) Greek vs #549 James Madison single-dime bet
Analysis: Many times a team can survive a game losing their top scorer. JMU should be without Ronald Curry and are also without 3rd leading scorer as well in Dimitrije Kamparkapa. Meanwhile the Seahawks have won 10 games in a row including a 78-73 win at James Madison in which Curry pumped in 28 points. Curry is listed as DOUBTFUL with a bad ankle and if that's the case I Ÿ'll take a shot with the red hot Seahawks.

#686 Furman -3.0(-108) Pinnacle vs #685 Mercer single-dime bet
Analysis: Stephen Croone will have a big game and the Paladins will avenge a 69-65 loss earlier this season. Jestin Lewis & Desmond Ringer who played 59 minutes between them in the first meeting and contributed 19 points are both suspended. AD Jim Cole said it had nothing to do with teammate Jabi Ÿri Bryan who was shot dead at a Macon Convenience Store ten days ago. This team is going to start losing games in my book. Furman nearly came back from 16 down in the second half in the first meeting at Mercer, cutting the lead to 2 points with 47 seconds left before losing 69-65. Furman has their own agenda and need to keep winning.

#650 Miss. St -3.5(-110) Greek vs #649 Georgia single-dime bet
Analysis: Off a78-46 home rout of Arkansas...Ben Howland's Bulldogs ca Ÿn see some light at the end of the SEC Tunnel. Gavin Ware ( 16ppg ) will lead State to another home win. If the Dogs play defense half as well as they did vs. the Hogs the other night they will roll. Get out the Cowbells!! If Mark Fox steals a road win here, I'll be impressed......MSU needs to keep the momentum they built the other night!

#641 Marshall -1.0(-106) Pinnacle vs #642 W. Ky single-dime bet
Analysis: James Kelly will help the Thundering Herd back on track. Marshall can still win the Conference USA Title but they need this game to have a chance to control their own destiny. There is a good chance frontrunner UAB loses at La. Tech and a win here would allow the Herd to have a shot to control their own destiny as they get another shot at the Blazers next week. Western Ky has now droppe Ÿd 4 of last 6 and is undermanned offensively. They will have trouble outscoring Marshall if the Herd shoots anything close to 40%.

#659 Gonzaga 6.0(-110) Sportsbook.ag vs #660 Southern Methodist double-dime bet
Analysis: A chance for Gonzaga to get a non-conference win with some credence. If they lose this one they probably have to win the WCC Regular Season or WCC Tournament to get an at large bid and with St. Mary's, BYU & Pepperdine all capable that i Ÿs not a given like in years pat for the Zags. Wiltjer needs a huge game and Sabinis needs one as well and the Zags need to slow down Pony PG Nic Moore. If they do those things they may be good enough to steal one in Dallas. Larry Brown will have the Mustangs ready off a home loss so Mark Few better have the Bulldogs ready!
