Montreal Canadiens at Atlanta Thrashers

Atlanta ripe for a letdown after big win in Detroit in its last. Montreal looking to finish off a 4-game road trip on a positive note and is looking to avenge a pair of 3-2 losses to the Thrashers.

Led by sniper Ilya Kovalchuk, the Thrashers aren't normally thought of as a "defensive" team. However, they've actually been playing rather well at that end of the ice recently. In fact, despite slipping above the number on Tuesday, the Thrashers have seen the "under" go 3-1 their last four games. The Canadiens saw their streak of high-scoring games come to an end when they managed only one goal, en route to a 4-1 loss, at Madison Square Garden on Saturday. The Canadiens power play, which had been clicking, produced just one goal on eight opportunities. That goal came in the third period with the Rangers leading 4-0. Note that Montreal also came up empty on two 5-on-3 advantages totaling 2:44 in time. The Canadiens followed that up by combining with the Islanders for just four goals on Tuesday. Looking at the series history and we find that both this season's meeting produced five combined goals. Looking back further and we find the "under" at an impressive 10-1-1 the last dozen times that these teams faced each other.

Taking Montreal!
UNDER 5.5!

Good luck


Edmonton Oilers at Washington Capitals

The Capitals are 5-2 over their last seven games, impressively scoring 29 goals over this stretch, and they just completed an implausible four-game season sweep of the first-place Ottawa Senators Tuesday. However, that may create a letdown situation here, and remember that they recently lost second leading scorer Michael Nylander for the season to shoulder surgery. They managed to upset the Senators without Nylander, but his absence does figure to be felt here. The Oilers now have one fewer sniper to worry about, and they have been playing excellent defense lately, allowing a grand total of eight goals in the last five games, four of them victories. We look for them to frustrate the Capitals here with their tight checking, and remember that Edmonton is accustomed to playing high-powered offenses coming out of the stronger Western Conference.

The over is 7-1-1 in the Oilers last 9 road games. On the road Edmonton is allowing 3.23 GPG and tonight they face a Capitals team that averages 2.95 GPG at home. The over is 6-2-2 in Washington's last 10 home games. In their last 8 games following a win the over is 6-2. In their last 8 games overall the over is 5-2-1. In their last 10 games following 1 day rest the over is 6-2-2.

Taking Edmonton!
OVER 5.5!

Good luck!
