    Picked: Nov 2 @ 3:37pm

    Analysis

    The Utah Mammoth are fifth in shots allowed per game and have an +82 shot differential. Toronto is 25th with a -19 shot differential. Utah is seventh in scoring chances, while the Leafs are 22nd. The Mammoth have a +12 high-danger shot differential at 5-on-5, while Toronto is at -14. Utah is 6-0 after a loss this season and already defeated Toronto when they were healthier. Toronto's forward depth is severely compromised by injuries to John Tavares (IR), Kirill Marchenko (IR, out until November 17), Max Domi (IR-LT), and defenseman Nick Blankenburg (IR), forcing heavy usage on Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and rookie Gavin McKenna. The Leafs have a huge revenge game against Montreal on deck. I like the road team in this spot.

    LOSS
    Picked: Nov 3 @ 4:11am

    Analysis

    Only 6.5 on our board Tuesday for Jets-Canadiens and the model has this as the lowest-scoring game of the night with only 5.3 total goals scored. The Habs can light the net but are still a bit banged up led by Nick Suzuki still out. This is mostly on goalie Jacob Fowler and his 1.84 GAA. Winnipeg has lost nine straight and scored more than three goals just twice in that span.

    LOSS
    Picked: Nov 3 @ 2:15pm

    Analysis

    Similar to last season, Hampton brought in a bunch of players that can score. They’re a score first team that plays little defense. The Yellow Jackets welcome in a new coach that wants to push the pace all game and have new guards to do so. Georgia Tech has always struggled to defend the him but not sure that’ll be the case against the Pirates as this could turn into a transitional game with a lot of perimeter shots.

    LOSS
    Picked: Nov 3 @ 5:36pm

    Analysis

    Will have to double down on this game -- I would have surely played this moneyline very early in the morning, but back then it was nearly -200 so I opted for the total. Not sure why it dropped so much. Winnipeg is on a nine-game skid and been getting beaten worse and worse of late (23-7 in the past four).

    Over/Under
    LOSS
    Picked: Nov 3 @ 6:12pm

    Analysis

    I like the Over in this matchup between two teams that have shown plenty of offensive firepower but have struggled to consistently keep the puck out of their own net. Utah is averaging 3.60 goals per game this season while allowing 3.47. Toronto has been even more productive offensively, averaging 3.75 goals per game, but is surrendering 3.25. The goaltending matchup also favors the Over, with Karel Vejmelka posting a 3.31 GAA and Sergei Bobrovsky sitting at 3.29. These teams combined for nine goals in their first meeting this season, with Utah coming away with a 5-4 victory. With both offenses capable of putting up points and neither goaltender inspiring much confidence right now, I see another high-scoring affair in Toronto.
