ASA Free NHL Play on Boston Bruins Money Line -160 vs Tampa Bay Lightning @ 1:05 ET - The Lightning are a solid team but are below .500 on the road this season. The Bruins offer some line value here because they are facing a high-quality opponent which keeps the line manageable. Getting Boston in the -160 range is a great value when you consider the Bruins are 29-3-3 at home this season. Boston has played 71 games this season and only 11 of those have resulted in a loss in regulation. One of those was at Tampa Bay in late January so this is a rare revenge game for the Bruins. This is the 4th and final regular season meeting between these divisional foes and after taking the first two this season but losing the most recent one, it is not a big surprise that our predictive analytics have this game finishing with a revenging win for the hosts in this match-up. Lay the price with the home team here Saturday.

After losing against the Blue Jackets in overtime, today's game vs the Sabres is an absolute must win. The Isles aren't defending as well as they usually do, but are scoring more prolifically. There is a good chance that star goalie Sorokin will not be in the net. He gave up five goals on Friday, and will likely be rested for the rarely-used and uneven Varlamov. The Sabres area good road team but gave been giving up far too many goals, and their potent offense has been unable to catch up. they are off a win, managing five goals against NJ.
The over has figured in five straight Buffalo matches and in six of eight Islanders games. I am not going to buck this trend. Buffalo's defensive record is not a good bet for a low total, and New York may have their hands full controlling the Sabres offense and PK. Take the Isles and Sabres to go over again today.

This is a free play on VAN +1.5.
The Canucks have responded well since they replaced head coach Bruce Boudreau. They are 9-3 in their last 12 games overall, but they have covered the puckline in all 12 of those games. Vancouver has owned the Stars in recent years, winning seven of the last 10 meetings outright. They are 8-2 ATS in those games. The Stars are 3-7 in their last 10 home games.

UNDER 6
5pm ET faceoff in Minneapolis tonight as the Chicago Blackhawks (24-41-4-2) take on the Minnesota Wild (41-22-4-5). Over their L10 games Chicago are 3-6-1, and on the other side the Wild are 6-1-1-2. The Wild are 22-11 at home, while the Hawks are 10-23-3 on the road.
Last game out Minnesota lost to the Flyers 5-4 (shootout). The Hawks are on their final game of their road trip that has seen them be outscored 15-3 in their last 3 games (all losses).
Some trends to note, The Under is 3-1-1 in Blackhawks last 5 road games, and the Under is 3-0-1 in Blackhawks last 4 vs. Western Conference. The Hawks are 0-7 in their L7 vs. Minnesota and 0-4 in their L4 IN Minnesota. Also the Under is 17-4-1 in Wild last 22 home games.
I'm not expecting more than 1 goal out of Chicago tonight. My projections call for the UNDER 5 in this one.
Back The UNDER.

I don't trust either of these teams enough to believe they will produce seven goals in this game. An early start time does not help the offenses either.
The Red Wings are averaging two goals in their five games.
The Flyers have been hot. Their last five games have all gone Over. They have multiple injuries, though, and I don't see an up-tempo matchup.
The teams have met twice this season. Both games were easy Under winners. The Flyers defeated the Red Wings, 3-1, at home on March 5. The Flyers also nipped the Red Wings, 2-1, in Detroit on Jan. 21.

1* FREE PLAY Penguins.
We're coming down the home stretch of the regular season, and the Pens are desperate for a spark after dropping six of their last seven. They play with revenge here though after a 3-2 shootout loss to Washington on January 26th, and note that Pittsburgh is 3-1 in its last four in trying to avenge a road loss against an opponent. Washington is just 17-17-1-2 on the road this year and I believe it'll have its hands full with this determined home side; consider the Penguins!
