Carolina lost to the Ducks on Wednesday, but both recommended bets, Carolina -250 and Seattle + 110, closed strong. The bankroll is no worse off.
Arizona Coyotes are at Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday, October 13th. Pittsburgh is favored to win 78% of the time. Arizona is a team that is not very good.
Buffalo Sabres are +105 favourites against Ottawa Senators. Ottawa has a lot of hype after signing Claude Giroux and acquiring Alex DeBrincat.
New Jersey Devils are betting on Philadelphia Flyers to lose the game. Nico Hischier won't play for the Devils. The Flyers are also missing Sean Couturier and Cam Atkinson.
Washington Capitals are the favorite to beat Toronto Maple Leafs. Ilya Samsonov will start for the Maple Leaf's, while backup Charlie Lindgren is expected to make his debut for Washington.

New York Rangers play Minnesota Wild on Thursday. Jaroslav Halak could start for the Rangers, but it's not clear who will be the team's starting goalie. The team will travel to Winnipeg for a game against the Jets on Friday. If Halaks starts, the price is right at + 120.
Dallas Stars are +110 at Nashville Predators. Predators are -130 favorite. Nashville is a better team thanks to goaltender Juuse Saros.

Seattle Kraken is +155 at Los Angeles Kings (-180). The Kraken choked on Wednesday night and blew a big lead late in the game. The model prices the Kings at around -175.
Chicago Blackhawks are playing at Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night. Vegas won their season opener against Los Angeles Kings. Chicago is expected to play without their star player Jonathan Toews. Alex Stalock is likely to start in goal for Chicago.
