The total has gone over in 13 of Columbus' last 18 games when playing on the road against Colorado.

The total has gone over in 5 of New Jersey's last 6 games and in 4 of the last 5 games for the Islanders.

These are two of the worst teams in the league and the under has cashed in 4 of the last 6 head to head games.

Looks like the Kraken will have another ugly season but playing at home should be easier for them I think the over is the play.

In the last 10 head to head games they have averaged 7.5 goals so with the total set at 6.5 the over is definitely the play.

The Canadiens just beat the Maple Leafs 4-3 and last season they went 2-1 vs Red Wings.

Both teams scored only 1 goal in the 1st game of the season so 6.5 is too high for me. Give me the under.

These are two of the best teams in the league. The Wild ranked #5 in offense last season and beat the Rangers twice as well scoring 3 or more goals in each. Give me the over.

These are 2 power offenses but somehow the total has gone unedr in 5 of the last 5 head to head games.

The Kraken still have a lot to prove this season and even as they beat the Ducks 4-3 last season I think the Ducks are little bit better.

The over is 6-1-1 in the Bruins last 8 overall and 8-3-2 in the Capitals last 13 against the Atlantic.

The total has gone under in 4 of Columbus' last 5 games when playing on the road against Carolina.

It's hard to predict in game 1 of the season but generally the Maple Leafs are by far the better team so go with Toronto to get their first win.

Avalanche are 58-13 in their last 71 home games and 43-13 in their last 56 games following a win.

The Blues should pile on the goals with David Perron, Ryan O'Reilly, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with great puck movement in the offensive zone.
