NHL | Feb 17, 2019 Blues vs Wild |
Blues -101 at betonline |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units What once was a firm hold on a playoff spot in the Western Conference has turned into a scrum for the Minnesota Wild, who stumbled coming out of the All-Star break and have been unable to regain their equilibrium. The Wild, losers of three straight contests and seven of eight, now must face one of the league's hottest teams when they host the St. Louis Blues this afternoon. Minnesota opened its four-game home stand by giving up an early two-goal lead in a 5-4 loss to Philadelphia before falling in overtime to New Jersey by the same score after allowing four unanswered tallies. The white-hot Blues are one triumph shy of the franchise record after posting their ninth consecutive win with a 3-0 victory at Colorado on Saturday. |

NHL | Feb 17, 2019 Rangers vs Penguins |
Rangers +1½ -135 at Bovada |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units The Rangers are 7-5 in their last 12 games and 4 of the losses came by a single goal. So if you had the Rangers at +1.5 goals in all 12 games you went 11-1. The Penguins are just 5-9 in their last 14 games and one of those wins came by a single goal. So if you've played Pittsburgh at -1.5 goals in their last 14 games your record is 4-10. |

NCAA-B | Feb 17, 2019 Villanova vs St. John's |
St. John's +4½ -115 at Bovada |
Won $100 |
| Play Type: Premium | ||
|
Rating: 2 Units No. 13 Villanova has won 11 of its first 12 Big East games, but few opponents have created the type of problems St. John's gave the defending national champion last month. The rematch takes place today, when the Wildcats visit the Red Storm. St. John's led by double digits in the second half and held a slim advantage with less than three minutes remaining on Jan. 8 before Villanova rallied for a 76-71 win. The clincher: Villanova is 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. |
