 NHL Early Season Report -NHL Picks, Odds & Betting Trends: The 2009/2010 NHL season has certainly had it's surprises, maybe more than in any year I can remember the exception is the rule. If someone had told me that after 13 games the Colorado Avalanche would have a 10-1-2 record be 5 points up on the Western Conference's second place team The LA Kings (Yes Really), the year after long time, leader and Captain Joe Sakic retired and that Craig Anderson would be the front runner for both the MVP and the Vezina Trophy I would have taken that action at any odds.
Plus Phoenix? is in fifth... Has any team every faced more off-season questions or team adversity, I am actually beginning to wonder if Hockey can work in Phoenix - It's like a dream for the NHL just as they become buyers, after years of being worthless the team is increasing the franchise fee with every win. Does anyone remember the Drama? Bettman, Basille, Moyes, Gretzxy, the City of Phoenix battled it out in court and against reason and all common sense - The Team and Fans (in Phoenix) Won.
Yet here we are, just a couple weeks into the season and Vancouver, Detroit, Anaheim and St Louis are all out of the playoff picture based on their standings today (all made it last year)
I would predict maybe two of these teams climb back into the playoffs and all should be factors in the race but it is starting to seem more likely than I ever thought possible that Detroit and Anaheim could be on the outside looking in.
Then move to the Eastern Conference less surprises the NE will be tough Ottawa and Buffalo both seem like their back to stay but the big surprise to me is Carolina after stealing two playoff series they are 0-4-2 on the road and on a 7 game losing skid. In last seasons playoffs Eric Staal was one of the most dominate players plus this team locked Cam Ward up long term, one would think this team could have moved up... But both Carolina and Boston are as of today out of the picture.Bet on Hockey at Sportsbook.com
So in this Topsy-Turvy NHL climate what represents a good value team? and what should a bettor look for? After following the trends closely three things have really stood out.
1. Goaltending - This stat always stands out as a matrix to follow GA/G (Goals Allowed Game) - The Leaders in this category are all near the top of their division. With a couple exceptions we will look at later on the top 10; Buf, Phx, Col, Pit, Chi, NJD, Van, Stl, Dal, SJ
2. Shots Against per Game or SA/G speaks to the work load of the goalie there is a reason only one or two goalies have one the cup with over 65 starts it's taxing on the goaltender there body and mind wear down and down comes the GA/G
3. 5-5 Goals For/Against Ratio most under rated stat in any sport anywhere is your team winning in the normal game mode of 5-5? If your going to wager over a long time track this stat.

 NHL Picks - Atlanta Trashers vs Washington Capitals: The Washington Capitals take on the Atlanta Thrashers in NHL Picks action today. The Capitals come into this one after having clinched their second straight division title and hope to avoid a let down versus the Trashers in tonight's NHL Picks action. The Capitals are an impressive 47-23-8 in NHL Picks this season but are coming off a tough 5-4 loss to Buffalo in their last NHL Picks game. Although they clinched their division the Capitals are still in a fight for the second overall seed with the Washington Capitals in the Eastern Conference.
The Thrashers come into this NHL Picks game sitting at 34-38-6 but continue to play hard down the stretch as they have won four straight and five of their last six NHL Picks, including wins over the top three contenders for the last playoff spot in the East. They beat Florida 3-1 on Friday night, Buffalo 3-2 in overtime two days earlier and the New York Rangers on March 26. The Thrashers have been no slouch versus the Capitals in NHL Picks as they have won two of four NHL PIcks contests. However, they have struggled on the road as they are 0-2 at Washington.
Power Play performance could spell the difference in this one ast Atlanta's penalty-killing unit ranks near the bottom of the league at 75.4 percent while Washington has a chance to lead the league in power-play percentage for the first time in its history, taking advantage of 25.6 percent of its opportunities. The Capitals have hit 42.9% on the power play in their last four NHL Picks games.
Trends/Angles: WASHINGTON is 14-1 ATS (+12.4 Units) revenging a loss where opponent scored 4 or more goals this season while ATLANTA is 10-4 ATS (+16.5 Units) after successfully covering the spread in 2 or more consecutive games this season.

 NHL Picks - Buffalo Sabres vs Washington Capitals: The Buffalo Sabres hope to keep their slim NHL Picks playoff hopes alive tonight as they play their first of three versus top Stanley Picks contenders when they gravel to Washington. The Sabres have five games left on the NHL Picks season and trail the eighth place New York Rangers by six points. Buffalo has two games in hand on the Rangers but they also need to leap frog the ningth place Florida Panthers. Buffalo potentially ran themselves out of the NHL Picks playoffs last month with starting goaltender, Ryan Miller, went down with a ankle injury. Miller did return recently and the Sabres proceeded to win three in a row last week but did miss an opportunity to gain another point in the NHL Picks standings when they lost 3-2 in overall to Atlanta. One thing going for the Sabres tonight is that Miller has had success versus the Capitals going 8-3-0 with a 2.53 goals-against average in his career.
The Washington Capitals come into this NHL Picks contest assured of a playoff spot and with fives game left are looking to grab the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. They have won two in a row and lead the third place New Jersey Devis by three points. The Capitals are lead by leading scorer Alexander Ovenchkin who scored his 54th goal in their last NHL Picks win over the Islanders. Ovechkin now has four goals and three assists in his last three games and has reached 100 points for the third time in his four NHL seasons. The five goals that the Caps scored in their last NHL Picks game was the third time in their last five contests after going the previous 12 games without doing it, and they've scored 14 goals while winning three straight home games after a four-game losing streak at the Verizon Center.
Trends/Angles: BUFFALO is 1-7 ATS (-8.1 Units) after losing their previous game in overtime this season but 12-5 ATS (+6.8 Units) in road games after playing 2 consecutive road games over the last 2 seasons. WASHINGTON is 13-3 ATS (+8.4 Units) after 3 straight games with 33 or more shots on goal over the last 3 seasons but only 50-63 ATS (-42.0 Units) in home games after playing 2 consecutive home games since 1996.
Washington beast the Sabres on both December 26 and 30 for the first in the series since the 2002-03 season, and can win the season series for the first time since then with a win over the Sabres tonight.
