Lightning at Hurricanes: Projected starting goalies

Andrei Vasilevskiy (9-3-1, 2.01 GAA, .930 SV%) at James Reimer (8-1-0, 3.08 GAA, .896 SV%)

Vasilevskiy is projected to face the Hurricanes for a third time this season, and he’s hopeful he’ll get some offensive support. In his two previous starts vs. Carolina, he is 0-1-1 with a 2.01 GAA and .936 SV%, which is right in line with his overall season averages. However, he was on the short end of a 4-0 loss Saturday in Raleigh, and he was topped 1-0 in overtime Jan. 28.

Reimer heads into this on a four-game win streak, although he has allowed three or more goals in each of those outings. Unlike Vasilevskiy, Reimer has received a ton of offensive support as Carolina scored at least four goals in each of his nine starts to date. That includes an average of 5.8 goals per game over the past four outings. G Petr Mrazek earned the shutout vs. Tampa Bay Jan. 28, but he is out injured. G Alex Nedeljkovic posted the shutout Saturday, but he is not projected to start Monday. Can Reimer help Carolina goaltenders earn the shutout trifecta against the defending champs?

Lightning at Hurricanes: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Lightning 4, Hurricanes 2

Money line (ML)

The LIGHTNING (-125) have been outscored 5-0 in their two losses to the Hurricanes this season. However, Reimer is projected to start this game, and he has been more than giving in the crease. Expect for the Lightning goal drought against the Hurricanes to end, and end in a big way.

Against the spread (ATS)

The LIGHTNING -1.5 (+220) are an intriguing play at home with a chance to more than double up your initial wager. While they have lost both previous meetings to the Hurricanes, the odds are in Tampa Bay’s favor despite playing on road ice. Tampa Bay is terribly due for some offense against Carolina. Reimer has allowed three or more goals in each of his past four outings, so the Lightning will get theirs.

Over/Under (O/U)

The O/U line of 6 will be right on the number, so I’d be inclined to AVOID. If I had a lean, I’d go Over 6 (-115) as the Over has cashed in seven straight starts with Reimer in the crease for the ‘Canes.

Penguins at Islanders: Projected starting goalies

Tristan Jarry (2-4-1, 3.95 GAA, .857 SV%) at Semyon Varlamov (5-2-1, 1.88 GAA, .932 SV%, 3 SO)

Jarry has allowed four goals in each of his past two starts, including the most recent meeting Saturday at this very same venue in a 4-3 loss. He made 22 saves on 26 shots, but he allowed a power-play goal to Islanders C Anders Lee with just 2:44 to go in regulation for the difference maker.

Varlamov started the season on fire with a pair of shutouts, but he went 0-2-1 with 11 goals allowed in three starts from Jan. 26-30. He has since bounced back, going 2-0-0 with a 1.50 GAA and .951 SV% in two February starts. Varlamov was on the winning end of Lee’s late heroics in Saturday’s game, making 28 saves against 31 shots.

Penguins at Islanders: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Islanders 4, Penguins 2

Money line (ML)

The ISLANDERS (-105) are a good bet in this home meeting against the Penguins as Varlamov has been a real difference maker. On the flip side, Jarry has struggled for the Pens. Head coach Mike Sullivan is giving Jarry a little bit of a longer leash, hoping the goaltender can work through his struggles and return to his All-Star form.

Against the spread (ATS)

New York’s price of +1.5 (-300) is to chalky. However, the alternate line of ISLANDERS -1.5 (+260) is worth a small-unit play. The Isles are coming off a 2-0 win over the New York Rangers last time out, and three of their five wins also have covered the puck line. They’re a good play here as you can more than double your initial wager.

Over/Under (O/U)

Nhl Betting Lines Tonight

The OVER 5.5 (-105) is a risky play based on Varlamov but also a good play based on Jarry’s recent performances. As long as the Penguins can strike for at least two goals against the red-hot Varly, you should be OK for a successful Over ticket. Just go lightly.
