Wuwut...
I have made a conscient effort to stay away from the Jets as of late because I feel they are tired. I think the buzy schedule and the long travels have cought to them and they are running out of steam. Maybe MTL looks like they are overvalued but they have the better team and they have a good btb record so far. Ill probably just stay away from this one but ill see how physical this habs game gets but it is pretty mellow so far

adding
Tampa Bay +112, 1* (Pinnacle)
2 teams that are very similar. Good offense poor defense and goaltending. One team got a boost yesterday with Bishop who is likely starting tonight while the other is starting a very mediocre Ellis. Bishop's first start of course is a bit of a concern but I still think the lightning have an edge tonight in net.

Initially my gut said PHX, small price to pay for them at home(when i posted) but after looking at the matchup for the last 20mins or so, I'm leaning the other way.
Jimmy Howard 7-0-2 928 2.23 vs PHX
Labarbara 1-4-2 887 3.64 vs DET
PHX lost 8 of last 10
DET won 6 of last 10
Not much for trends but hard to argue with this
Red Wings have won 8 of the last 10 vs Phoenix
Red Wings are 21-6-3 in the last 30 meetings in Phoenix.
Red Wings are 38-13-6 in the last 57 meetings.
The goaltending matchup is what would keep me away from Phoenix. They also sold some pieces yesterday which kind of tells the players they have given up on this year. For the last trend it kind of holds value I guess, even if I think this is the weakest Red Wings team we have seen in some time. I'll probably just stay away from this one
