The Top two National Hockey League trends from Saturdays card on ice offers up one home team and one road dog with substancial value.
Fading road teams (Islanders) that are comin off a road win by one goal, playing with 3 or more days rest has been ridiculously good over the last five Hockey seasons. The trend is 35-10 over that span and the bias is 1-1 this season. The 78% proposition has substancial value considering that the Stars are but a -150 favorite on home ice Saturday night.
Backing road underdogs (Habs) in a game involving two clubs that are averaging less than 2.5 goals per game on the season has been a solid money maker when the oddsmakers set the visiting dog between +125 and +150 on the money line. The trend is 60-31 over the last five campaigns and the bias is due as it is 10-9 this season.
