OTT @ NYR

Really like OTT here to take revenage in first loss of season lto, plus with just 3 games in 18 days no they can play hard and recover in time for next game. OTT have started the season strongly with only i loss abd are undefeate away from home. M.Gerber the goaltender is 5-1 with a 1.67 GAA vs NYR in career. NYR won there last game thanks to strong powerplays but the PK of OTT has been strong and with Lundvquist record vs OTT poor, all things point to OTT imo. H2H record just backs up my selection with OTT winning the last 4 matches between the sides.

NJ @ ATL

ATL are yet to record a win this season and were blown out 6-0 @ BUF lto, and have scored a league low of just 4 goals. NJ are also have trouble scoring and were shut out against FLA lto. Star goaltender Broduer is winless but has a relatively good 2.68 GAA. H2H shows NJ are 1-7 in L8 ans 0-4 L4 in ATL, but with thier first games away NJ needs to put wins on the board against teams like ATL. Although i feel NJ will edge it, the under 5.5 appeals most with two poor offences and a Broduer looking to prove he's as good as shown in past seasons.

MIN @ PHO

MIN remain undefeated and travel to PHO for its 1st road game of the season. Against PHO, MIN are 5-1 n L6 and will look to continue impressive start to season. In Niklas Backstrom the wild have a top class goalie and have started each of the 3 wins of season ( not sure if plays 4 th straight game). meanwhile PHo have spread playing time between 3 players in net. Both teams have yet to get PP working fully but have both been better PK. With MIN perfect record and PHO solid win lto this could be a tight match and with the under 7-3-1 in L11 and with other stats strongly in favour the [b]Under 5.5 is the play imo[/b]

NJ v ATL

i can't believe two teams that have struggled to score so far this season went and scored 11 goals between them last night. i backed under 5.5 goals and couldn't believe it when i saw the score.
