GOOD GETTING BETTER

The worst team in the league is without its No. 1 goalie until after the All-Star break and the fourth-best team in the league has its captain back after missing over two months.

The Detroit Red Wings have conceded 13 goals in the two games without goalie Jonathan Bernier and were beaten 5-1 and 8-2 to teams which rank 16th and 20th in goals per game.

The Pittsburgh Penguins travel to Detroit on Friday having won eight of their last 10 games and just welcomed back Sidney Crosby, who notched one goal and three assists in his first game back. Crosby’s return boosts an offense that is scoring over four goals a game in its last 10 outings which sits second best in the league.

We’re taking the Penguins on the puckline (-1.5) as the Red Wings are 0-9 ATS in their last nine home loses and are in big trouble with goalie Jimmy Howard between the pipes after allowing 21 goals in his last five starts.


TRIED AND TRUE

No team in the league has scored fewer goals per game since January 1 than the Montreal Canadiens.

The Habs are averaging 1.88 goals in 2020 thanks to having the worst powerplay since the calendar flipped. Defensively, they’ve played well as they sit sixth in goals against at 2.63 in that same span and have the third-best penalty kill. Put all this together and you get a Montreal team that is 1-7-1 Over/Under in its last nine showings.

The Canadiens will host the struggling Vegas Golden Knights (who fired their head coach earlier this week), who are 2-4 SU in their last six and are 10-11-1 O/U on the road this year. We have no problem dropping dollars on the unexciting Under which should be at a total of six, which would be much preferred over 5.5.


CANADA’S BEST HOME TEAM

The Vancouver Canucks finally returned home on Thursday after a five-game eight-day East Coast road trip and beat the Arizona Coyotes 3-1, extending their home winning streak to seven games.

Vancouver owns the West’s third-best home record and has won 10 of its last 12 at Rogers Arena. The Canucks offense has put up 3.7 goals at home per game but are 10-10-1 O/U at home, meaning they’re getting some great support on the backend.

On Saturday, the Canucks welcome the San Jose Sharks, who have won just two of their last 10 road games and are scoring just two goals per contest over that stretch. The Sharks will also be without their leading scorer Logan Couture and are having trouble finding consistent goaltending as the team bounces back and forth between Martin Jones and Aaron Dell. We like the Canucks' moneyline for this Saturday night play.


BACK-TO-BACK BEASTS

The Chicago Blackhawks will play the backend of a back-to-back at home Sunday versus the Winnipeg Jets, who last played on Friday. The second of back-to-back games usually offers terrible odds on the rested team, but we won’t be looking to take the Jets.

Chicago is 8-1 SU in the second game of a back-to-back this year and 4-0 SU when that game is at home. In those nine games, the Blackhawks have won as underdogs six times and beat the Jets in Winnipeg on December 19.

Chicago is also heading into the weekend riding a three-game winning streak and should return the services of Top-6 forward and No. 4 in scoring Dylan Strome. We’re grabbing the Blackhawks on the moneyline.


GOALIE PROFILE: BRIAN ELLIOTT, PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

The Philadelphia Flyers lost starting goalie Carter Hart to an abdominal strain for three weeks and will now have to roll with Brian Elliott. The veteran goalie has collected 10 wins this year with a 3.14 goals against average and a sub-.900 save percentage.

The Over is 5-1 in the goalie’s last six starts with his team going 3-3 SU. Elliott should face the L.A. Kings on Saturday - a team he saw earlier this year in a brief start as he made just 11 saves on 15 shots before being replaced.

We like the road team as an underdog after the Flyers struggled against Western Conference opponents this year, going 7-11-2.


INJURY UPDATE: D MORGAN REILLY, TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost star defenseman Morgan Reilly for up to eight weeks with a fractured foot. This puts two of the team’s top-4 blueliners on the shelf, meaning there are a lot of minutes up for grabs for the Leafs’ young call-ups.

In the first game without Reilly, the Leafs cruised to a 7-4 victory but were anything but tough defensively down the stretch allowing three third-period goals.

With goalie Frederick Andersen not on his game, the new defensive talent could struggle with their inexperience turning games into shootouts. Toronto hosts the Blackhawks on Saturday in a game we will be wagering on the Over 6.5.


HAT TRICK TRENDS

• We have yet to suggest putting your money on a tie, but if we were it would most likely be a game that Ottawa Senators goalie Marcus Hogberg is playing. The Sens and Hogberg have gone to overtime in six of his eight starts this year, including his three most previous starts. Ottawa is 1-5 SU in each of those six overtime games. The Sens are at home to Calgary Flames on Saturday.

• The home dogs were barking over the last seven days, winning 53 percent of the games outright and posting a 15-3 ATS versus the puckline. Over the last month home puckline dogs are 44-24 ATS and although there isn’t much value in taking the +1.5 puckline (due to the large juice attached to that spread), parlaying a couple can net betters values of +125 or better.

• The New York Rangers, Pittsburgh Penguins and Chicago Blackhawks are all 9-1 Over/Under in their last 10 first-period totals of 1.5. Over bettors need to be careful of the Columbus Blue Jackets and San Jose Sharks as both teams have hit the Over just twice in each of their last 10 first periods.

Race 5 - Maiden Special Weight - 8.0f on the Dirt. Purse: $36000 Class Rating: 76

FOR MAIDENS, THREE YEARS OLD. WEIGHT, 122 LBS.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
	# 3 YOU SAY 20/1
# 10 BRING ME A CHECK 3/2
# 8 CLEVER UNION 9/2

I have to support YOU SAY in this race and could score at a price in here. May see a major improvement with blinkers going on in this contest. With a formidable 69 Equibase Speed Fig last time out, will unquestionably be a factor in this outing. He has formidable class ratings, averaging 96, and has to be considered for this event. BRING ME A CHECK - Meeting a much less demanding bunch than last time out. He should be given a shot given the decent speed figs. CLEVER UNION - Has competitive early speed and ought to fare admirably against this field. Could beat this group given the 69 speed rating recorded in his last outing.

Turfway Park - Race #5 - Post: 8:12pm - Stakes - 6.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $75,000 Class Rating: 103 Forego S.

Rating:

#9 HEMP HEMP HURRAY (ML=8/1)
#11 GLENNWOOD (ML=15/1)
#3 LANIER (ML=2/1)


HEMP HEMP HURRAY - The jock and trainer combination have a beneficial return on investment when they unite. I look for this pony to sit off the pace and make a solid move on the turn, cruising straight on to the winner's circle. Gelding finished first his last race here on December 12th as a shipper. I think he looks like a winner once again. GLENNWOOD - Paucar rode this horse for the initial time last out and comes right back in today's race. Nice return on investment for this rider and conditioner duo. I am keen on that most recent outing on Dec 20th at Turfway Park where he finished first. 95-99-102 are last three speed ratings. Improving each time out is something he should do again right here in this race. LANIER - I believe Santangelo is making a good move here. This gelding can only benefit from the shorter distance. Gelding finished first his last race here on Dec 5th as a shipper. I think he looks like a winner once again. Recent speed ratings show dominant pattern of improvement. The last speed figure of 107 is the best last race speed rating in the bunch.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 NUN THE LESS (ML=3/1), #10 KITTEN'S CAT (ML=5/1),

NUN THE LESS - Tough to wager on any racer in a short distance event if he hasn't finished in the money in a sprint in the last two months. Any horse coming out of a route race should show some speed to battle with the sprinters. Last spotted on May 11th at Arlington. Probably needs to do some racing into form. KITTEN'S CAT - When you keep digging through the TrackMaster pps and don't see a victory recently, you have to say to yourself, 'Not worth it on this horse'.

Gulfstream Park - Race #5 - Post: 2:34pm - Claiming - 8.0 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $35,000 Class Rating: 85

Rating:

#4 HE'S SUPER LUCKY (ML=9/2)
#6 KING OF RANCH (ML=7/2)
#1 VERDICT IS IN (ML=5/2)
#2 ITSMYLUCKYKNIGHT (ML=10/1)


HE'S SUPER LUCKY - Saez rode this horse for the initial time last time out and comes right back this race. It looks like the early speed horses may duel each other into the ground. When the real running starts this gelding should be flying down the lane. KING OF RANCH - Looked very good in last race at Gulfstream Park. A quick turnaround means Sanchez thinks he can do it again. Last race out on the grass, this equine was great. Anything close in today's race, and this one should win. This colt is in nice physical condition, having run a good race on Jan 3rd, finishing first. 56-58-87 are last 3 speed ratings. Improving each time out is something he should do again in this event. Came home fast last race out at Gulfstream Park. That type of move bodes well for his chances today. VERDICT IS IN - Horses out of the barn of Plesa have been strong on the turf. Should perform well in this race. You always have to be on the watch for revenue generating rider/trainer combinations; we have an instance right here. ITSMYLUCKYKNIGHT - Rendon comes to race again after getting to know the colt in the last contest. Plesa has a very great win percent in grass routes. This colt should be in shape and ready to win. Last out, ran the last quarter in less than 25 ticks. What that tells me is he can close well, and should be right there at the wire this time around.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 DRAMA IN DIXIE (ML=3/1), #8 QUALITY ON TAP (ML=3/1), #5 POPPY'S BOYS (ML=8/1),

DRAMA IN DIXIE - This mount didn't go to the lead and didn't close ground down the homestretch last time he ran. Doubtful that the fig he earned on Dec 13th will hold up in this event. QUALITY ON TAP - Granted the last race was nice, finishing second. The lack of any recent activity raises some concerns though. Will be tough for this horse to beat this group off of that last speed figure. Unlikely to improve enough to run a figure anywhere near today's class rating, so put him on the questionable contenders list. POPPY'S BOYS - Hasn't been in a race since Oct 9th, probably too long ago to expect much this time out. This runner ran a somewhat easily forgotten speed rating last time around the track. He shouldn't run much better and will probably get beat in today's event running that rating.
