NHL ice hockey - Mon 24/10

[Tulenos]

YTD 8-7-0, +3.39 pts, +16.14% yield Boston Bruins (ML) to bt TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS @ 2.24 - 2 PTS *Pinnacle* One strong trend for a starter. When Boston team played as road team as an underdog - During the month of October - Last 4 years - ATS winner 18-4-0 and SU winner - 14-5-3. Boston are 4-5 so far, Toronto 4-4. Boston as a road underdog are 3-3, Toronto as a home fav are 2-3. A bit of a worry is that Boston are 0-5 vs division opponents, but then Toronto are not much better - measly 1-3. Boston are 2-1 both ATS and SU @ Toronto over L3 seasons. Quite importantly as well - it seems Boston suck after a bright strat to the season, but they may well have halted their losing streak - won the last one after three consecutive losses. On the other hand, Toronto were red hot until the last one (four consecutive wins), but lost to Philly on Saturday. I would never bet against them if they were still riding that winning streak, but it's no longer the case. Raycroft and Belfour are probable starters between the pipes tonight - interestingly enough, Raycroft can boast a better rating than Belfour (who has been a bit shaky so far). In the other two: Detroit beat Columbus 6-0 in their barn on Saturday and are 2.56 to bt the -1.5 puck handicap and sure worth another thought. There is a strong under trend in the Ottawa game - under 6 available @ 2.03 and worth another though as well. May add one or two plays later on.;) Good luck.

There is a strong trand favouring Columbus colliding here and I'm not that keen on backing any team to cover such a large 'cap as most games have been tight so far. This leaves the Ottawa game which doesn't look too bad, the only slight worry is the H2H record. Hasek and gerber are probable starter between the pipes in this one. Will chew it over a little bit longer.;)
