A classic 12-game Thursday slate tonight. Most vegas lines are close, as expected this early in the season. I like to focus on a few teams in large slates like this. Trying t roster everyone is a fool’s errand, and being focused will help to lower the variance of so many games.

Top Teams to Target
New York Rangers – The hottest team in hockey has the San Jose Sharks coming to town. SJ has been dreadful to start the season posting an 0-5-0 record with 19 goals against, I expect the Rangers to dominate.
Boston Bruins – You could argue Boston is the hottest team in hockey. Tonight they welcome Anaheim to the east coast, who has had a mixed start. The Ducks have given up the second most shots (170) this season.
Pittsburgh Penguins – Do you know who has given up the most shots this season? The LA Kings with a whopping 174. Crosby and company have found the fountain of youth and are scoring on bunches.
Calgary Flames – Calgary has started strong and Buffalo has very suspect goaltending. This is a great spot for a late-night hammer.
