This choice marks pick three for me personally if you havent had a opportunity to catch my first two, I see from last night.
The very first winner of the night came between the Maple Leafs and Capitals who combined to drive to the complete over 6.5 using a 4-3 Capitals win. The pick looked mostly in hand throughout after Washington scored three goals in 1:18 in the second period to go ahead 4-2. The total was pushed by A late mark from John Tavares over.
Since the Ducks dealt with the Sabres their first regulation loss of the season — a count on ice our second winner came between the Buffalo Sabres and Anaheim Ducks. I enjoyed my chances with John Gibson from a Buffalo offense that was because of regression as well as a Ducks offense that struggled early — was up against a Sabres defense which was also because of regression.
Now its on to pick three of three for tonight, this one containing Arizona Coyotes and the Nashville Predators out of Glendale.

Predators vs. Coyotes NHL Select
The Nashville Predators acquired a 5-2 decision to avenge an ugly 7-4 loss on Saturday. The Predators offense was white-hot to begin the season because they pace the NHL using 4.67 targets per game so far, but the truth it his vapor is teeming with unsustainable figures.
This 4.67 goals per game mark is certainly one of these. Nashville has scored at least three goals in at least four in five of six games every game this year and at least 5 of six matches. We understood there was a good likelihood that this offense would increase with the addition of Matt Duchene down the center, but its definitely not likely to improve to the point almost five goals per evening, at which theyre scoring. The Tampa Bay Lightning headed the NHL using 3.89 targets per game last season, with second place Calgary and San Jose ending with 3.52. In other words, there is an probability that the Predators goals per match average drops by well over a target as the season goes along.
Same thing on protection. The usually-stout Predators defense came back on track in Vegas on Tuesday, but Nashville is still tied for 28th with 3.83 goals against per game this year. The Predators have let a minimum of five goals when we look at the history of the club, a number that does not add up. Sure, they dealt away defenseman P.K. Subban in their best four, the way ever Subban isnt a defense-first blueliner and the Predators should stay a powerful defensive club without him. After all, they tied with third with 2.59 goals against per game last season. Much like their offense, their defense goals against per match ought to drop by well more than a target as the season moves along.
As is the case with late start times from the west, we still arent sure who will start this match in goal tonight for either club, but following a good match in Vegas on Tuesday its difficult to imagine the Predators moving to anyone else but Pekka Rinne despite an expected lower workload for him this year. Juuse Saros was obliterated in L.A. on Saturday, so I am nearly positive the start will visit Rinne who turned aside 33 of 35 Golden Knights shots because of this fourth win of the year on Tuesday.
The Coyotes are coming from a solid win in Winnipeg on Tuesday, just the second time this season theyve played to the point. Entering this one, the Coyotes are averaging only 2.20 goals per game, good for 29th winners wide. While thats a really low number, its not due for a ton of positive regression since they ended last season averaging only 2.55 goals per game, tied for 28th. They included Phil Kessel at the offseason, but he is yet be a factor and its going to be difficult for the Coyotes to evaluate another four tonight against what will be a Predators defensive group.
The Coyotes are alike the team from a defensive perspective of last year . Their 1.80 goals against per game ranks third in the league thus much after finishing fifth season with 2.68 goals against per game. Their blueline took a bang when his fibula cracked clocking a shot across the weekend, however the defense remained strong in holding a solid Jets home crime. Just the Boston Bruins have received a save percentage than the .945 indicate the Coyotes have obtained from the Darcy Kuemper/Antti Raanta duo.
If you could not tell Im leaning for the below here. Itd be surprised if both these teams didnt complete the season in the top 10 defensively, and also the Coyotes appear set to fight up at the Western Conference against some superior defenses. The Predators are the teams highest scoring team, but their ridiculous 4.67 goals each game is due for some significant regression moving ahead, and this Coyotes defense appears to be the perfect unit to silence them down. In order to sink this pick, Both crew will have to combine to score seven goals, so I will roll with the below 6 tonight out of the desert.
