NHL Sharp Action
7:30 p.m. ET: Detroit Red Wings (27-34-9) at Winnipeg Jets (33-27-10)
This non-conference showdown features one team knocking at the door of the playoffs and another all but eliminated. The Red Wings are coming off a 4-2 win over the Bruins last night, cashing as +175 home dogs. The win snapped a six-game losing skid, although Detroit is still 21-points back of the final Wild Card spot in the East. Meanwhile, the Jets have dropped two straight and just fell to the Kings 3-2, losing as -130 home favorites. Still, Winnipeg is just seven points back of the final Wild Card spot in the West. This line opened with Winnipeg listed as a hefty -260 home favorite and Detroit a +230 road dog. Pros have laid the big chalk with Winnipeg, steaming the Jets up from -260 to -280. Home favorites with a line move in their favor are 251-121 (67%) this season. The Jets also enjoy a massive "rest vs tired" advantage. Detroit is on the second leg of a back-to-back and is playing their third game in four days. Conversely, the Jets haven't played since Saturday. Favorites against teams on a back-to-back are 154-65 (70%). The Jets are 21-16 as a favorite and 19-14-2 at home. The Red Wings are 14-38 as a dog and 9-21-3 on the road.
10 p.m. ET: Calgary Flames (41-19-9) at Anaheim Ducks (28-31-12)
These Western Conference foes are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Calgary is 5-3-2 over their last ten games and just beat Los Angeles 3-2, cashing as -170 road favorites. The Flames currently occupy the 1-seed in the Pacific Division. On the flip side, Anaheim is 1-7-2 over their last ten games and just fell to Edmonton 6-1, losing as +175 home dogs. The Ducks are well below the playoff line of demarcation. This line opened with the Flames listed as a -220 road favorite and the Ducks a +200 home dog. Pros aren't outsmarting themselves on this one. They've steamed the Flames up from -220 to -250. Big road favorites -200 or more are 78-25 (76%) this season. Favorites off a win are 414-211 (66%). When both teams missed the playoffs the previous year, the favorite is 148-76 (66%). Calgary is 33-20 as a favorite and 20-11-2 on the road. Anaheim is 14-35 as a dog and just 16-16-5 at home. Calgary holds the edge offensively (3.5 GPG vs 2.8 GPG) and defensively (allowing 2.5 GPG vs 3.2 GPG).
10 p.m. ET: Vancouver Canucks (32-28-10) at Vegas Golden Knights (39-28-4)
Both of these Pacific Division rivals are on the outside looking in when it comes to a playoff berth. Vancouver has dropped three straight and is just 3-9 over their last 12 games. On the flip side, Vegas is riding a five-game winning streak. These teams just met up on Sunday and the Knights won 3-2, cashing as -115 road favorites. In tonight's rematch, Vegas opened as a -150 home favorite and Vancouver a +130 home dog. Pros are thinking "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and have gotten down on Vegas, driving the Knights up from -150 to -160. Rested favorites who have had at least three days since their last game are 135-63 (68%) this season. Home favorites off a win against an opponent off a loss are 149-68 (69%). Vegas is 29-16 as a favorite. Vancouver is 18-27 as a dog. Both teams are allowing roughly 3 GPG. The difference comes on offense, where Vegas is averaging 3.2 GPG compared to Vancouver's 2.8 GPG. The total is 5.5 with the over juiced to -120, signaling a possible rise to 6.
