Morning sheets — Oct 20​
Tough one to swallow. Pittsburgh at +163 had Utah on the ropes in a 5-4 game, and one bounce either way flips the ticket. The Penguins ML took the loss, one unit down.

The vault sits at 5-7, down 2.33 units. The 2-unit tier is carrying its weight at 3-1 for +3.64, while the 1-unit side is 1-4 and the 3-unit tier is 1-2. Cold stretch, but the number didn't miss by much last night, and a goal is a goal.

Resetting the sheets for today.

Coffee first. Numbers second.

Yesterday's Grades
1-unit Pittsburgh Penguins at Utah Mammoth — Pittsburgh Penguins ML +163 [LOSS] Pittsburgh Penguins 4 @ Utah Mammoth 5
Pittsburgh at +163 came up one goal short, falling 5-4 in Utah in a game that went down to the wire.

The Wiretapper

Lankinen. Last 3 starts, .795 save percentage and 16 goals on 78 shots. Last season he finished at .875. If he gets the net, that's not a blip, that's a pattern. I'm looking at the Carolina Hurricanes team total over.

Official plays

3-unit Toronto Maple Leafs at Columbus Blue Jackets
Toronto Maple Leafs ML +130
Toronto at +130 against a Columbus club sitting at -5 goal differential through seven games, with Stolarz in net and the Leafs 2-3 in their last five, same as the Jackets. The risk is the back-to-back, but the market has Columbus at 57.7% while the standings numbers split this nearly 50-50.

1-unit Boston Bruins at Dallas Stars
Boston Bruins ML +145
Boston's 7-2-0 with a 5-0 run, Swayman in goal, and a +15 goal differential against Dallas's +7 and 1-2-0 home mark. Lindell is out on the Stars' blue line, and +145 on a side the standings put at 51.1% is the number I'm taking.

1-unit Colorado Avalanche at New Jersey Devils
Colorado Avalanche ML +100
Colorado at +100 against a Devils side sitting at 4-4 with a -2 goal differential, while the Avs carry a +11 mark through nine games. The market has New Jersey at 51.8%, but the goal-differential gap points the other way, and the risk is the back-to-back.
