On the lookout for a fantastic NHL wager as the season winds down? I’ve summarized and broken down some of the best straight-up, puckline and OVER/UNDER wagers because the beginning of March for you to target or fade at your discretion.
Greatest Straight-Up TeamCalgary Flames (7-1): If you’ve been gambling that the Calgary Flames moneyline the last month — congratulations, you’re likely set to retire. The Flames are 12-1 straight up in their last 13 games and they have already begun another winning streak after their 10-gamer finished by the Bruins last week.
Bettor beware, though, the Flames’ next three games will come on the road against the Capitals, Predators and Blues, so make certain to pick your spots carefully. An approach I’d take would be to fade them in Washington and should they lose, fostering their worth a bit heading into Nashville and St. Louis, back them since the underdog.
This is beginning to feel like more than lightning in a jar to the Flames. They are a team that can roll four lines if desired and that has a fantastic mix of skill, speed and grit. If Brian Elliott keeps up his roll that has seen him move 14-1-1 using a .935 save percentage because the all-star break, Calgary could do something similar to what a former Flames staff did circa 2004.
Worst Straight-Up TeamNew Jersey Devils (1-8): By losing 10 straight games before their win over the Flyers past Thursday, the Devils have locked up last place in the Eastern Conference and secured a great shot at winning that year’s draft lottery.
What they have been doing is dropping bettors an extraordinary amount of money and if you’ve been absurd enough to back them any moment throughout the last month or so — I’m sorry, but it appears like it’s back to the grindstone for you. Transferring an astounding 1-12 straight up in their last 13 games, the Devils have nowhere to go but up and also with seven of their past 11 games set to be played in their home rink (the Prudential Center), you can probably go on and take advantage of these as house dogs in a couple of conditions.
New Jersey is a commendable 14-20 up in friendly land this season so backing them from teams such as the Hurricanes, Stars, Jets and Flyers may wind up being very rewarding.
Finest Puckline TeamBuffalo Sabres (7-3): Don’t allow this trend disturb your gambling patterns a lot of, the Sabres are still a lousy team, they have just been losing the majority of their matches by less than two this month. This is because Buffalo has become the underdog in seven of its 10 games in March and in those seven games the Sabres are 5-2 against the spread.
By no means is that an incredibly rewarding bet — unless you are hitting it consistently or putting a large amount of money on it.
Buffalo ends out its schedule with just three more home games so your chances to catch the Sabres because puckline underdogs are operating out. If they are awarded +1.5 in your home, however, jump all over it like a Bills fan would on a desk at a tailgate party. The boys in Buffalo have barely been outscored on their home ice to the season and should continue that trend as they struggle to get a fast fading playoff place.
Worst Puckline TeamWashington Capitals and Los Angeles Kings (2-7): The Capitals have a talk of these two next two honors but the first is one they — and their bettors — are unhappy about as they have lost five of the last seven games and cashed two spread tickets this season.
Among the biggest contributors to this tendency is the degree of competition the Caps have been enjoying. Five of their last six opponents were groups that were at a playoff spot if they played with them but with games coming from teams like the Coyotes and Avalanche, feel free to re-familiarize yourself with all the Caps’ puckline. Washington has the best goal differential in baseball and are going to want to get back on track heading to the playoffs.
In terms of the Kings, I’d keep fading them. They have been improving a great deal, in terms of their record, but they’re still not scoring. Bookmakers have been putting them as the preferred more and more and as a group which scores just 2.40 goals per match, they will always have a tough time beating a group by more than a goal.
