This is an 8* play on Columbus +1.5.

Both the Blue Jackets and the Starts are one game below .500 this season, and the Stars are a heavy favorite here at home Thursday. History suggests this could be another close game, as six of the last eight head to head meetings have been decided by one goal. It might also come as a shocker that the Jackets have actually won nine of the last 10 meetings outright. Such trends certainly justify laying a bit of chalk to get the puckline dog.

This is an 8* play on Buffalo +1.5.

I had Buffalo in their last game, and they covered the puckline in a 3-2 loss to the Rangers. Here is what I had to say prior to the game: "Neither of these two teams are playing well this season, but Buffalo has a better record on the road than the Rangers have at home. New York will be a heavy favorite, despite leading scorer Artemi Pannarin remaining out of the lineup. Each of the last three head to head meetings have been decided by one goal. The Rangers are 1-5 in their last six home games, and they have lost five of their last six as a favorite. The under is 8-3-1 in the last 12 meetings." The Sabres have lost five straight versus the Islanders, but three of those losses came in games decided by one goal.

This is an 8* play on the Winnipeg Jets +1.5

The Montreal Canadiens are struggling, coming into tonight's game as losers of five of their last six. Their slump has already cost their head coach his job, but never-the-less they are a heavy favorite at home tonight against a Winnipeg team that has won five of it's last six. The Jets have also won the last three head to head meetings, and two of those games were decided by one goal. Winnipeg is 18-4 ATS this season, and a record like that certainly justifies paying -175 for the puckline.

This is an 8* play on Dayton.

The Flyers are playing their best basketball here at the end of the season, while Rhode Island has lost six of it's last seven overall. History certainly favors Dayton, as the Flyers have won three of the last four head to head meetings. The Flyers are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall, and one of those wins was a 67-56 home win over Rhode Island. The Rams are tough at home, but here in a neutral site game against a conference powerhouse, they should find themselves overmatched.

This is an 8* play on New York.

The Knicks are legit contender to make the playoffs in the East, while the only thing Detroit has a chance of winning is a lottery pick. The Pistons won last night against a group of second and third stringers in a 129-105 win over the Raptors. Playing the second game of a back to back in New York, they should be due for a let down. The Pistons are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win, and they are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games following a double digit win. The Knicks are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games, and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 overall.

This is a Free play on the Flames.

The Senators took two of three in a home series versus the Flames, but then suffered a 3-1 loss at Montreal. They are still the last place team in the North Division, and Calgary is still expecting to compete for a playoff spot. As bad as they have been lately, the Flames are just six points behind the 3rd place Oilers, with plenty of hockey left to play. The Senators are14-51 in their last 65 road games, and 3-10 on the road so far this season. The home team is 5-1 in the last six head to head meetings.
