The NHL season is well underway and there are several matchups in store for Sunday, October 31. Can the Kraken get back to .500? Will the Hurricanes remain undefeated? How about the result of the featured game, Columbus at New Jersey?
Columbus Blue Jackets versus New Jersey Devils
The Columbus Blue Jackets are in the middle of the Metropolitan Division and take on the last-place New Jersey Devils. The Devils have a +15 to +14 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator, while the Blue Jackets are “average up” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Columbus is the favorite with odds of 1.784 to 2.200. The Score Predictor has the Devils winning by a 4-3 score with 82 percent confidence. The Totals Predictor indicates both teams have been involved in games going “over” the line. Look for the Devils to take care of home ice in a game going “over”.
Arizona Coyotes versus Carolina Hurricanes
In the biggest mismatch of the day, the undefeated Hurricanes host the winless Coyotes. Carolina has a +30 to 0 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” versus “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Score Predictor has the Coyotes in a 1-0 upset with 70 percent confidence. The Totals Predictor indicates the teams playing in games trending on opposite sides of the over/under line. Carolina is a huge favorite at 1.444 to 3.102. You can win big if betting on Arizona and it hits. However, it’s a huge game. I think the Hurricanes take care of business at home, but avoid the over/under bet.
Montreal Canadiens versus Anaheim Ducks
Both teams head into action at or near the bottom in their respective divisions. The Ducks have a +4 to +2 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and both teams are “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Canadiens are a road favorite with odds of 1.825 to 2.136. The Totals Predictor is showing the teams are trending in games on opposite sides of the over/under line. The Score Predicto has the Ducks winning by a 3-2 margin with 66 percent confidence. I like the Ducks on home ice, but avoid the over/under bet.
Buffalo Sabres versus Los Angeles Kings
The Sabres come in second in the Atlantic Division, while the Kings are bringing up the rear in the Pacific Division. Buffalo has a +29 to +3 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and “average up” versus “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Despite the difference in early season play, the Kings are home favorites with odds of 1.784 to 2.2. the Score Predictor has the Kings winning by a 4-3 score with 68 percent confidence. Let’s go with the Kings to pick themselves up off the ice and come away with a home win.
