Bet: Red Wings/Leafs Under 6.0 Goals (+110); Cam Talbot Over Saves (Odds not yet Available). Although Auston Matthews will miss Friday night’s matchup for Chicago, his absence shouldn’t cause too many issues for their defenseman Cam Talbot and saves specialist Cam Talbot (odds aren’t yet available). Although his absence might hurt a team like Toronto significantly more, that shouldn’t mean they lag behind. Toronto has recorded 14-5-0 wins over their past 19 matches without their nearly 70 goal scorer present in their roster. As they look to turn around their four-game losing skid against Detroit Red Wings, sportsbooks encourage taking an over here as both teams boast dangerous offenses that include Patrick Kane, William Nylander and Dylan Larkin who boast lethal offensive talent. These two have combined for at least six goals in three of the last four meetings between them; yet this seems like another public fade with 74% of bets going towards over. Both teams feature elite goaltenders – Anthony Stolarz of the Leafs has posted a 2.12 goals against average this season while Cam Talbot, 37 years old, boasts one win against Detroit which included an astounding 28-save shutout performance against them last November![/embed] Talbot has proven his worth at age 48 with an outstanding 2.49 goals against average over 12 games against Toronto under new bench boss Craig Berube – scoring under seven goals nine out of 14 times this season! Should there be an early goal, betting under 6.5 goals might be an appropriate response to attack at just the right moment. Toronto averages the eighth-most shots per game which means Cam Talbot should see plenty of shots towards goal during his night and therefore should be included as part of your selections for over in saves. Bet: Alex Ovechkin Anytime Goal (+115), Capitals Over 3.5 Goals (-120), Penguins Capitals Over 6.5 Goals (105)Historically, Crosby-Ovechkin showdowns used to be legendary; we want to remember and cherish these legendary battles while they last! Ovechkin stands as one of the greatest goal scorers in league history and even at almost 40, still finds ways to score goals. YouTube LinkWashington captain Kevin Green has had eight goals through 12 games this season and currently enjoys a five-game goal streak. His history against the Penguins is lethal: over his last eight games they’ve met he has scored six goals — with another goal streak reaching three games! Additionally, The Capitals boast the fourth-highest goals per game average at nearly four. Pittsburgh will do all they can to shut down Washington, but their efforts may not be sufficient as they’ve allowed 36 goals over their last ten games – both goaltenders have goals against averages exceeding three, which should lead to an impressive showing from Washington’s Capitals. Expect the Penguins to try and rebound, making the over a great bet in this one. Bet: Kraken ML (+115), Golden Knights Under 2.5 Goals (+165). In their expansion team rivalry, Vegas currently owns an unblemished 10-2-0 record against Kraken. The Golden Knights have won six out of six trips to Seattle and will hope to hand the Kraken their fifth straight defeat. Seattle has had difficulty scoring recently with 13 goals scored over their past six matches. Everything about this matchup sways towards the Golden Knights as they have proven themselves more dominant over time compared with their opponents – yet their betting line remains so close?This line may suggest people should opt for Golden Knights because of their history of dominance in past matchups. Expect the Kraken to show more flair than many may anticipate and gain key stops from Joey Daccord – their expected starter and former Arizona Sun Devil netminder who currently boasts an outstanding 2.76 goals against average for Seattle this year, even while struggling. His performance should help break their losing streak against Golden Knights.
