00:00And I also think you have to circle Ovechkin to hit Wayne Gretzky's or surpass Wayne Gretzky's

00:06record that's coming in at plus 190 right now. Ovechkin has just been on fire and we saw

00:12after the break that he had from that leg injury him come out and play so strong and I'm expecting

00:18that out of him right away today in or sorry tomorrow in the matchup. So we will see the

00:24Washington Capitals facing the Pittsburgh Penguins tomorrow and that is a game I have so highly

00:29circled because the matchup between Ovi and Sidney Crosby has been always an incredible one

00:36out there on the ice and looking at this one we do have the Washington Capitals rolling in as a

00:40heavy favorite and a total of six six and a half high total for this one which I was kind of

00:47surprised by but Ovechkin has been able to score on the Pittsburgh Penguins and we know the Penguins

00:52have struggled defensively this season so Ovechkin to come out and put up a goal in this one is

00:58definitely something I have circled but with what we saw out of him coming back from that leg injury

01:03in those couple of games you know it wasn't uncommon in those first couple for him to get

01:08one two three goals he I do believe he got a hat trick in that first week back so I'm looking for

01:14him to come out so strong versus his defense the kill here is so weak at 79.6 for the Pittsburgh

01:20Penguins look for Ovechkin to really rack it up in this game I will take Ovechkin for the

01:26anytime goal and two plus goals versus the Pittsburgh Penguins and then the Washington

01:31Capitals to come out strong on that puck line in the first period this is a team that will be fully

01:36rested as Tom Vacchio was mentioning none of their players did hit the ice for the four nations

01:41they've had their practices they are fully ready to take on the Pittsburgh Penguins who have

01:46struggled this season so give me Ovechkin to break Wayne Gretzky's record at plus 190 the Washington

01:52Capitals coming in here on the puck line in the first period and Ovechkin for two plus goals then

01:58I'm going to move on to the matchup here between the Seattle Kraken and the Florida Panthers now

02:05still concerns around Matthew Kachuk we're not sure what that injury is that he sustained in

02:09the four nations but when we look here at the Seattle Kraken this is a team that I haven't been

02:14trusting defensively or offensively on the season I do think they'll struggle versus the Florida

02:20Panthers with or without Matthew Kachuk in the lineup excuse me we do know there's was a ton of

02:27players out here for Florida that did hit the ice in the four nations but I think they have enough

02:32playmakers no matter what to still limit the Seattle Kraken's ability to get those pucks in

02:38the back of the net give me the Seattle Kraken's team total under two and a half versus the Florida

02:43Panthers when we look at the Anaheim Ducks versus the Boston Bruins we have a total of five and a

02:48half tomorrow in that matchup John Gibson should be in net here for the Anaheim Ducks and he gives

02:53me concern I do think the Boston Bruins will come in nice and strong in this one be able to put the

02:58puck up in the back of the net we know Charlie McAvoy out of this lineup for a while so defensively

03:05we will see those struggles out of Boston even though both of these teams average under three

03:08goals per game I'm expecting a limited amount of defense in this game give me the over five and a

03:15half and I do think Boston should be able to get the win the Winnipeg Jets were on fire before

03:21the break they won their eight games before the break and I'm looking for them to continue where

03:26they left off now they will face the St. Louis Blues Eric Cromb or Joel Hoffer actually is

03:32expected in net and I do think Eric Crombery will be in for the Winnipeg Jets even though

03:37Connor Hellebach is still the expected goalie everywhere that you do look look for the Winnipeg

03:43Jets to roll in a nice and hot go over their team total of three and a half in this matchup I'm

03:49expecting the firepower out of Winnipeg in this game they've got so many play makers best power

03:55play in the league that power play converting at 33.3 percent and the kill here the St. Louis Blues

04:00even though I love their play makers like Jordan Cairo Jake neighbors that kill is only 71.3 percent

04:07if they find themselves in the box they're going to be in a lot of trouble here versus

04:13the Winnipeg Jets so last but not least quickly two more you guys Carolina versus Toronto I think

04:19the Carolina Hurricanes with the success they've had over the least winning the last five can get

04:24the win coming out of the break and then there's no denying the LA Kings their ability at home

04:30give me the LA Kings top line versus the Utah Hockey Club
