New Jersey Devils vs. Arizona Coyotes Preview and Predictions 2019-01-04

NHL Predictions 3rd January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/03/2019

The New Jersey Devils and Arizona Coyotes are each fighting to avoid last place in their respective divisions and it doesn't take much to figure out why both teams are scuffling this season. The Devils are tied for the fewest road wins in the league while the Coyotes own the NHL's worst mark at home heading into Friday night's matchup in Glendale, Ariz.

New Jersey opened a four-game road trip with a 5-4 loss at Dallas on Wednesday night to snap a three-game winning streak after a late comeback fell short. "You can't expect to play the way we did and have an opportunity (to win)," Devils forward Kyle Palmieri said after his team was outshot 28-2 in the first half of the setback. Arizona has dropped the first two contests of a four-game homestand, falling to Edmonton 3-1 on Wednesday, and has been limited to one goal or less in six of the last nine games. "We're a little challenged right now (by injuries)," Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet said. "This is the world that you live in. This is important. I've got to show leadership. We can't hang our head."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, MSG Plus (New Jersey), FS Arizona Plus

ABOUT THE DEVILS (15-17-7): Rookie goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood, who had posted back-to-back shutouts in his previous two outings, allowed more goals to Dallas than he had in his first four career starts combined. "Every night's not going to be perfect, right?" Blackwood said. "The good thing in this business is you're right back at it pretty soon after, so it's a good opportunity for us in this room to show our adversity and come back in the next one." Leading scorer and reigning league MVP Taylor Hall, the team's lone All-Star selection, is expected to miss his fifth straight game due to a lower-body injury.

ABOUT THE COYOTES (17-21-2): An already struggling offense absorbed another blow when Arizona announced that forward Nick Schmaltz, who has five goals and 14 points in 17 games since he was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks, was placed on injured reserve Thursday and is listed as week-to-week. Schmaltz will be joined on the sideline by defenseman Kevin Connauton, who was hurt late in Wednesday's loss, although Tocchet did not offer any specifics on the injury after Thursday's practice. Brad Richardson scored the lone goal Wednesday after sitting out the previous three games due to illness.

OVERTIME

1. Coyotes F Clayton Keller, who leads the team with 29 points, was selected to play in the All-Star Game.

2. Palmieri reached 20 goals for the fourth consecutive season in Wednesday's game.

3. Arizona recalled C Laurent Dauphin from Tucson of the American Hockey League.

PREDICTION: Devils 4, Coyotes 2

New York Rangers vs. Colorado Avalanche Preview and Predictions 2019-01-04

NHL Predictions 3rd January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/03/2019

The New York Rangers have begun to make life bearable away Madison Square Garden, defeating a pair of Central Division representatives to improve their porous road record to 6-10-2. After getting shellacked in their last outing at home, the Rangers aim to pick up the pieces on Friday when they carry a 10-game point streak (7-0-3) against Western Conference foes into the opener of a three-game trek versus the reeling Colorado Avalanche.

Defenseman Kevin Shattenkirk set up his second goal in as many games since returning from a three-week absence due to a shoulder injury in Wednesday's 7-2 setback to white-hot Pittsburgh. Shattenkirk, who was selected by Colorado with the 14th overall pick of the 2007 NHL Draft, burned his former team with two assists as well as a goal in the shootout of a 3-2 win on Oct. 16. Colorado's troubles from 2018 carried into 2019 as it tumbled into the new year with its six straight loss (0-4-2) and 10th in 12 outings (2-7-3) following Wednesday's 5-4 setback to San Jose. "We got to find a way to stop the bleeding here. ... Instead of stopping the bleeding at one or two goals, we let them get five (Wednesday). That's tough," Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog said.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, MSG2 (New York), Altitude (Colorado)

ABOUT THE RANGERS (17-15-7): Like Shattenkirk, Mats Zuccarello also had a pair of assists and converted in the shootout in the previous encounter with the Avalanche. Chris Kreider netted one of his team-best 20 goals this season in that contest and recorded nine points (six goals, three assists) in seven games before being held off the scoresheet versus the Penguins. Mika Zibanejad has failed to dent the scoresheet in five of his last six outings, although the exception saw him set up four goals in New York's 4-3 win at Nashville on Saturday to boost his club-best totals in assists (23) and points (34).

ABOUT THE AVALANCHE (19-14-8): Landeskog's bid to join linemates Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon in the NHL All-Star Game begins in earnest as the 26-year-old Swede takes part in the "Last Men In" ballot in which fans can submit their votes among 31 candidates. Landeskog netted one of his team co-leading 24 goals versus the Rangers in addition to notching an assist in that encounter. MacKinnon also has 24 goals -- including one against the Rangers -- and carries a five-game point streak (three goals, two assists) into Friday's tilt while Tyson Jost added his second career two-goal performance versus the Sharks to account for his first marker since Nov. 27.

OVERTIME

1. Colorado sports an impressive 11-5-2 mark versus Eastern Conference representatives.

2. The Rangers have earned at least one point in eight of their last 11 games (6-3-2) against the Avalanche.

3. Colorado G Philipp Grubauer has received an early hook after yielding four goals in two of his last three starts.

PREDICTION: Avalanche 4, Rangers 2

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Anaheim Ducks Preview and Predictions 2019-01-04

NHL Predictions 3rd January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/03/2019

Two teams streaking in opposite directions face off Friday, when the Vegas Golden Knights visit the Anaheim Ducks. Vegas is seeking its fifth consecutive victory after extending its point streak to seven games (5-0-2) with Tuesday's 2-0 blanking of Los Angeles.

Brandon Pirri recorded a goal and an assist for the second straight game while Marc-Andre Fleury turned aside 17 shots en route to his 23rd victory and sixth shutout -- both league highs. Anaheim continues its six-game homestand in search of its first win since Dec. 17 at Pittsburgh. The Ducks saw their slide reach six contests (0-4-2) with Monday's 2-1 overtime loss to Tampa Bay, which dropped them to 0-0-2 during their stretch at Honda Center. Nick Ritchie scored the lone goal for Anaheim, giving him five points (four assists) in his last three games.

TV: 10 p.m. ET, Sportsnet, AT&T SportsNet-Rocky Mountain (Vegas), FS West (Anaheim)

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS (24-15-4): Pirri has registered six goals and three assists in seven games since being recalled from Chicago of the American Hockey League on Dec. 19. The 27-year-old center, who was selected by the Chicago Blackhawks in the second round of the 2009 draft, tallied three times in two contests with Vegas last season. Alex Tuch has collected two goals and three assists during a four-game point streak that has vaulted him into the team lead in scoring (31 points -- six shy of the career high he set last campaign).

ABOUT THE DUCKS (19-15-7): Ondrej Kase notched an assist against the Lightning for his 14th point (eight goals) in 13 games. The 23-year-old Czech is tied with Pontus Aberg for first on the team with 11 tallies after recording a career-high 20 goals last season. Captain Ryan Getzlaf tops the club with 29 points despite being kept off the scoresheet in each of his last five contests.

OVERTIME

1. Fleury is tied with Ed Giacomin and Bernie Parent for 21st place on the all-time list with 54 career shutouts.

2. Anaheim made a minor trade on Thursday, sending G Jared Coreau to St. Louis for future considerations.

3. Vegas has gone 8-0-2 at home since falling 4-1 to St. Louis on Nov. 16.

#5 DECIDING FACTOR (ML=9/2)
#8 ALLEN'S SONG (ML=5/1)


DECIDING FACTOR - Brown brings her right back. I recommend you stay with this hot filly. Just missed hitting the board on December 14th at Charles Town. With respectable odds in today's race, she has my interest. This filly's last figure recorded on Dec 14th is in the top spot in last race speed ratings. ALLEN'S SONG - This mare is back in a race very quick. This is a great angle - Sprinters that come back in less than 10 days after a race. A good sign of a sharp and ready racehorse. Mare's last race was against tougher open company. She's in with easier 'state breds' today. Sterling brings her right back. I propose you stay with this strong mare.

Vulnerable Contenders: #4 CATLIKETENDENCIES (ML=2/1), #2 SHE'S A LIL PISTIL (ML=7/2), #7 FINLEY'S FORTUNE (ML=6/1),

CATLIKETENDENCIES - Has been defeated as the chalk back to back. A repeat is probably in store. Hard to back the public's choice when she continues to lose as the favorite. SHE'S A LIL PISTIL - I find it hard to support any pony in a short distance event if she hasn't finished in the money in a sprint in the last 60 days. In the last event this mount finished fifth. Doesn't show much potential for her chances today. When looking at today's class rating, she will have to garner a better speed figure than in the last race to be competitive in this dirt sprint. FINLEY'S FORTUNE - You figure that this animal is going to finish first just because she's always close. Just doesn't win regularly.

EXPECT DRAMA - Was in a $25,000 Maiden Claiming race at Laurel last time out. That race had a class number of 71 and he is moving down in this field. A certain strong challenger. No needing to look any further. This pony has my cash. Way too much pace. Maiden is moving to the dirt, and may not have liked the turf last out.

When checking today's class rating, he will have to notch a better rating than last time around the track to vie in this dirt route.

Friday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Thunder at Blazers – 10:35 PM EST

The two teams sitting behind the Nuggets for the top spot in the Northwest division hook up at Moda Center for the first time this season. Portland (22-16 SU, 19-19 ATS) swept the four-game regular season series in 2017-18 from Oklahoma City, as three of the victories came by eight points or less. Dating back to April 2016, Portland has captured eight of the previous nine matchups with OKC, including a perfect 5-0 mark at home.

The Thunder (24-13 SU, 21-16 ATS) rallied past the Lakers on Wednesday at Staples Center, 107-100 to cash as five-point favorites. Paul George burned his hometown team by scoring 37 points for OKC, in spite of hitting only 2-of-11 three-point attempts. Russell Westbrook shot a putrid 3-of-20 from the floor, but still managed to score 14 points, while pulling down 16 rebounds, and dishing out 10 assists. Oklahoma City improved to 4-2 ATS in its last six road contests, while picking up only its third cover in the past nine opportunities as an away favorite.

The Blazers squandered a 14-point halftime lead on Tuesday at Sacramento as the Kings rallied back to force overtime. However, Portland held off Sacramento in the extra time, 113-108, as Jusuf Nurkic posted an incredible 24-point, 23-rebound performance. The Blazers’ backcourt duo of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum managed to connect on only 1-of-14 three-point attempts, but Portland improved to 7-3 in its last 10 games overall.

South Least

Not one of the five teams in the Southeast division owns a winning record currently as two playoff squads from last season meet up in Miami. The Heat (18-18 SU, 21-15 ATS) can climb into first place with a victory over the Wizards (15-23 SU, 14-24 ATS), as the road team has won each of the first two matchups this season. The OVER has hit each time, as the Wizards outlasted the Heat at American Airlines Arena on November 10 as 3 ½-point underdogs, 116-110.

Washington is coming off back-to-back wins over Charlotte and Atlanta at home following a 2-9 stretch, led by Bradley Beal’s 24 points in a 114-98 triumph over the Hawks on Wednesday. Since winning at Atlanta on December 5, the Wizards are riding a dreadful 0-7 SU/ATS streak in the last seven games away from Capital One Arena. Washington has struggled mightily in the road underdog role this season by posting a 2-12 SU/ATS record, but one of those victories came at Miami in November.

Miami is riding a 7-2 run the last nine games, which includes victories over Houston, Milwaukee, and Memphis. The Heat routed the Cavaliers twice over the last week, including a 117-92 blowout at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday. Miami is in the midst of five consecutive OVERS, including three straight OVERS at American Airlines Arena.

Another Bucks Blowout?

Milwaukee is halfway done with a six-game homestand as the Bucks (26-10 SU, 20-14-2 ATS) are coming off three straight blowouts by double-digits. After knocking off the Knicks on Christmas Day at Madison Square Garden, Milwaukee cruised past New York at Fiserv Forum on December 27 as 14 ½-point favorites, 112-96. The Bucks took care of the Nets two days late by 14, followed by a 121-98 rout of Detroit to easily cash as 10-point favorites.

The Bucks seek their ninth win in 10 tries as Milwaukee hosts Atlanta. The Hawks (11-26 SU, 16-21 ATS) will face old coach Mike Budenholzer for the first time since he parted ways with Atlanta following a five-year stint. Atlanta had won five of seven games from December 18 through December 29, but the Hawks are coming off back-to-back road losses at Indiana and Washington. Although the Hawks failed to cash against the Wizards, Atlanta owns a 5-2 ATS mark in the past seven games as an underdog.

Maverick Money

Dallas (18-19 SU, 23-14 ATS) finished 2018 with only two road victories in 18 tries, but is 1-0 away from American Airlines Center in 2019. The Mavericks destroyed the Hornets on Wednesday as 1 ½-point underdogs, 122-84, paced by a 42-point first quarter outburst. Four Dallas starters finished in double-figures as not one Maverick scored more than 18 points, but the Mavs were able to drill 18 three-pointers to grab their sixth cover in the last seven games.

The Celtics (22-15 SU, 19-18 ATS) picked up their third consecutive home victory in Wednesday’s 115-102 triumph over the Wolves to cash as six-point favorites. Boston played without point guard Kyrie Irving, who sat out due to an eye injury, but the Celtics were boosted by Gordon Hayward’s 35 points off the bench on an efficient 14-of-18 shooting from the floor. The Celtics eclipsed the OVER for the 10th time in 11 games, including their fourth straight OVER at TD Garden.

Boston is playing with revenge after losing at Dallas in late November, 113-104 as 2 ½-point favorites. The victory by Dallas snapped a four-game skid against Boston dating back to November 2016, while neither team has busted the 100-point mark in the last two matchups at TD Garden. Unfortunately, Irving will not suit up once again as Boston owns a 2-1 SU/ATS record without the All-Star guard this season.

Sun Setting

Following a 7-0 ATS run through most of December, the Suns (9-30 SU, 17-22 ATS) have gone backwards of late by compiling an 0-4 SU and 1-3 ATS record on their current homestand. Granted, all four teams will likely be in the playoffs (Oklahoma City, Denver, Golden State, and Philadelphia), but the lone cover came thanks to a furious fourth quarter rally in four-point loss to the Nuggets last Saturday. The Suns fell behind the 76ers by 23 points at halftime on Wednesday, but stormed back with 78 second half points in a 132-127 setback as 3 ½-point underdogs.

The Clippers (21-16 SU, 21-16 ATS) invade the Valley for the second time in less than a month as Los Angeles outlasted Phoenix on December 10 as 9 ½-point favorites, 123-119. L.A. has captured 10 consecutive matchups with Phoenix since the start of the 2016-17 season, including five victories at Talking Stick Resort Arena. The Clippers are coming off consecutive home losses to the Spurs and 76ers, but L.A. has won only two of its last seven games away from Staples Center since the start of December.
