Wunderdog

Phoenix Coyotes vs. Columbus Blue Jackets

UNDER 5½ (-110) at 5Dimes.

The Phoenix Coyotes have been getting a great job from behind the net of late, and have limited opponents to just 19 goals, under two per contest over their last 10. The Blue Jackets have produced just 19 goals in their last eight games and an even worse five in their last three.

The Coyotes are playing way under the total vs. an opponent who scored two or less in their last outing as they have turned in a 19-6-1 mark to the UNDER in that situation. They have also played UNDER to the tune of a 37-16-2 mark overall in their last 55 games.

The Blue Jackets are on the short side of the total when posted as a home favorite, turning in a 15-7 mark in their last 22 to the UNDER.

These teams make the script complete as they have played UNDER in the last four meetings. The UNDER gets the nod in this one.

John Ryan

Los Angeles Kings vs. Calgary Flames

Calgary Flames -165 at 5Dimes.

Play against road teams against the money line that is an extremely tired team playing their 3rd road game in 4 days and is a good team sporting a 60% to 70% winning record and playing a marginal winning team winning between 51% to 60% of their games.

Fatigue will be a problem for the Kings tonight. Note that they are 12-43 against the money line (-27.9 Units) when playing their 3rd road game in 4 days since 1996. Take Calgary.
