Default Re: NHL Mon 15/1

These are my thoughts about the games to night:

NY Islanders vs Tampa Bay, X 4.10@Expekt
Islanders are 8-6-8 at home and they are 2-1-2 at home the last five. Tampa Bay are 8-5-10 away and they are 2-1-2 in the last five games away. I think this can be a tight game and I think that there is a 50% chance of a tie in regulation.

Boston vs Buffalo, X 4.10@Expekt
Boston are 8-6-8 at home and they are 3-1-1 at home the last five.
Buffalo are 10-8-4 away and they are 3-1-1 away the last five.
They have meet each other two times this seson and they have tied one and Buffalo has won one.
I think this will be an open game with a lot of goals, but I think it will end up with a tie in regulation, dispite the fact that all the statistics are talking for victory for Buffalo.

Dallas vs Los Angeles, 2 3.80@Expekt
Dallas are in a negativ trend at home and have lost three of the last five at home. Overall they are 12-1-8 at home.
Los Angeles are also in a negativ trend and have lost four of the last five on the road. Lately they lost three, won one, lost two, won one, lost three. If they follow this tred they will win to night :-)

Phoenix vs St. Louis, 1 2.05@Expekt
Phoenix will end the negativ trend and win to night. They did good results in the road tripp 4-1-0, but they couldn't keep it up when they returned home. Now they have played two games at home and lost both, it's time for the to start to win again, I think it will start to night.
St Louis have played quit good lately and only lost one game on the road of the last five (2-2-1). But to night and think they will loose against a fighting Phoenix that has gone back to the basics of hockey; hard work and playing simple in the defence.

Nashville vs Calgary, 2 3.20@Expekt
Nashville are without any doubs the favorite in this game, they are 16-6-2 at home and this is great figures. They won the last meeting with 3-1 and I think that Calgary is looking for revenge and Nasville will have a hard day at work.
Calgary are 6-4-10 away, but they have start play better on road lately and they have tree victories in the last six road games (3-1-2). I think they can be an unpleasant surprise for Nashville.

Detroit vs Montreal, 1 1.90@Expekt
Detroit have won the last six games at home and they are 14-4-3 at home. The only thing that can be against Detroit to night is thet all suits will end sooner or later. I don't think it will end to night, but for every victory they get closer to be defeated.
Montreal are 1-0-4 the last five away and overall 9-4-9. They lost the last game againt Ottawa, 3-8 and I don't think they can win over Detroit to night either.

San Jose vs Colorado, X 4.15@Expekt
San Jose has only tied one game at and that was against St. Louis in the first game this season. But I think that they will tie to night against Colorado that are 2-2-1 in the last five on the road. Avalanche tied the last away game against Anaheim and I think they can manage to do that again to night.

Good Luck and have a nice day
