So you want to bet hockey?
Tonight is a small card and its only the NHL that has any regular season games and for the die hard sports bettor this is the time they tend to step out and make a wager. So I am going to cover some things about tonight that could help out.
NHL Wednesday
Record
NFL: 2-6-1. -4.60
NHL: 5-1, +4.95
NCAA: 5-2, +2.80
MLB: 1-5-1, -5.47
Total: 13-17-2, -2.32 Columbus -110
The Blue Jackets will look to redeem themselves after an embarrassing 5-1 loss Saturday at Colorado. ... The Stars started 11-2 last season. Folks in Dallas are panicky about the 2-2-2 start. ... Norrena gets his second start of the season, 11 days after his season debut Oct. 6. ... No Fredrik Modin tonight for the Blue Jackets, but young tuff Jared Boll is back in the lineup
Turco practices: Marty Turco (sore leg) and Mike Smith (arm bruise) both went through full practice Tuesday. Tippett said he will carry both goalies (plus backup Tobias Stephan) to Columbus today and make a decision in the morning on who will play against the Blue Jackets. Turco said he expects it to be Smith.
Columbus is 2-2 this season and has won four of its last five against Dallas.
Stl/Chc Under 5 +110
You can look for a battle between two solid goalies tonight in this and it will go way under the number. I would not be surprised if you see a shut out in this one tonight.
Chicago -130
To stop a hot team you need to have solid goal tending and play great defense and that is what the Blackhakws do.
NJ +125
New Jersey: 11-1 SU after scoring and allowing 4+ goals andPittsburgh: 14-24 SU at home playing with 3+ days rest.
