NHL – TRENDS OF THE DAY
It is a light night in the NHL on Tuesday, January 22, 2018, as there are only five games scheduled. This starts with the Arizona Coyotes taking on the Ottawa Senators. In other action, the New York Islanders take on the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings battle the Edmonton Oilers.
Featured Game
Arizona Coyotes (-105) vs. Ottawa Senators (-115)
Arizona is in seventh in the Pacific Division with 48 points (22-22-4). They are 13-10-1 on the road this season and are 5-3-2 in their last 10 games. The Ottawa Senators are in seventh in the Atlantic Division with 43 points (19-25-5). Ottawa is 12-9-4 at home this season and are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games.
Goaltending Matchup:
Arizona is allowing 2.85 goals per game and is getting solid goaltending from the pair of Darcy Kuemper and Antii Raanta. Kuemper is the top goaltender for the team with a 2.66 goals-against average and a .914 save percentage. He is 10-11-4 this season.
Ottawa is last in the National Hockey League in goals allowed per game at 3.76. Craig Anderson has seen the bulk of time in the Senators goal this season, with a 14-14-3 record, but Anders Nilsson is making some noise. He is 4-3-0 with a 2.14 goals against average and a .931 save percentage.
Hot Trends:
The Arizona Coyotes are…
5-2 in their last seven games.
40-84 in their last 124 road games, but have a record above. 500 on the road this season.
3-10 in their last 13 games against Eastern Conference teams.
The Ottawa Senators are…
1-5 in their last six home games.
4-10 in their last 14.
1-6 in their last seven home games against teams with a winning record on the road.
Stat Pack:
Coyotes:
Goals For:2.7
Goals Against: 2.9
Power-Play: 18.1%
Penalty Killing: 87.2%
Senators:
Goals For: 3.1
Goals Against: 3.8
Power-Play: 20.6%
Penalty Killing: 75.4%
Prediction
The Coyotes are only 3-8 in their last 11 trips to Ottawa but they have won five of the last seven meetings between these two teams. Arizona is finally starting to show some life, and they have the more consistent goaltending. However, we like how Nilsson is playing. If he is in net, Ottawa wins this game.
These two teams have gone over in six of the last eight meetings in Ottawa, but we expect a great battle between Nilsson and Kuemper. Go under 6.0, as Ottawa wins 3-2.
Two Games to Watch
New York Islanders (-140) vs.Chicago Blackhawks (+120)
The Islanders are riding a five-game winning streak that has pushed them to the top of the Metropolitan Division with 62 points (29-15-4).

They are 9-10-6 at home this season and are 3-4-3 in their last 10.

Why Chicago Wins:

Bet against this period in Predators vs Golden Knights game, and this week's NHL predictions and picks
Monty Andrews
Viktor Arvidsson and the Nashville Predators will be taking on the Las Vegas Golden Knights in NHL action on Wednesday night.
Two of the top defensive teams in the league face off on Wednesday as the Las Vegas Golden Knights take on the Nashville Predators, headlining an action-packed week of puck action heading into the All-Star Break. Here are the top games, betting trends and tips to monitor as the first half of the season winds down.
Fillin' Them Nets
The New Year has been rather kind to the Calgary Flames and Carolina Hurricanes – and not so much to their opponents. The two highest-scoring teams of the new calendar face off Tuesday night at Scotiabank Saddledome, with the Flames entering the week having scored 46 goals in 10 January games and the Hurricanes right behind them with 39 tallies. It's no surprise, then that Calgary is 10-1 O/U in its last 11 games overall while Carolina is 5-1 to the Over in its past six road games. But bettors beware: The Under has cashed in seven of their past 10 meetings.
First is Sometimes the Worst
Bettors looking at period-by-period totals betting for Wednesday's encounter between the Nashville Predators and the Vegas Golden Knights will enjoy this. The teams have met four times in their history, and have produced just two total first-period goals. It's easily the lowest-scoring period in their head-to-head encounters, with the teams having combined for six second-period markers and seven third-period tallies. And that trend might very continue Wednesday; while Vegas ranks 10th in first-period goals (45), Nashville is 24th (39). Vegas has also allowed the seventh-fewest goals in the first (39).
Goalie Profile: Robin Lehner, New York Islanders
Surprise! The Islanders sit atop the Metropolitan Division standings thanks in large part to a five-game winning streak fueled by some sensational goaltending. Lehner has been one of the hottest goalies in the NHL over the previous month, having posted an 11-1-0 while racking up three shutouts and not allowing more than three goals at any point over that stretch. And as you might expect, the Islanders have been a premier Under play in Lehner's appearances, having gone an incredible 3-13 O/U in his previous 16 appearances dating back to Nov. 21.
Injury Update: G Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins
The Bruins go into the final week before the break on a somber note after losing Rask to a concussion over the weekend. The veteran netminder was run into by Filip Chytil of the New York Rangers just before Chytil scored to tie Saturday's game 1-1. Fortunately for the Bruins, they don't play again until Tuesday, Jan. 29, when they tangle with the Winnipeg Jets – but there's no guarantee Rask will have recovered in time. Rask is 14-8-3 with a 2.43 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage for the Bruins, who enter the break at +2,000 to win the Stanley Cup – the 10th-best odds in the NHL.
Hat Trick Trends:
Last week was a terrific time to lean on road 'dogs, as they converted at an unbelievable 47.2-percent clip (17-17-2) in what was easily the most unexpected league trend of the previous seven days. Underdogs on the whole were an impressive 26-20-3 for the week, improving to 42.6 percent for the season.
Ian Walsh might look nothing like Homer Simpson, but in betting circles, there has been no more beneficial homer than he. The home team has gone 26-18 ATS in the 44 games Walsh has officiated so far this season, earning a league-best 19.63 units over that span. T.J. Luxmore is close behind, with home teams going 29-18 ATS for 18.39 units.
Former Adams Division rivals Montreal and Buffalo are engaged in a new battle this season – specifically, which team is the league's best ATS play. The Canadiens enter the truncated week with an NHL-best 32 covers in 50 games, but the Sabres are right on their heels with 31 covers through their first 50 contests.
