Golden Knights at Flyers | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Golden Knights -115 Favorites
The Golden Knights play the second game of a three-game road trip against the Flyers on Monday after blanking the Penguins 3-0 as -125 favorites on Saturday behind goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury’s 29 saves. Last year, Fleury stopped all 26 shots he faced in a 1-0 victory at Philadelphia as a -105 underdog on October 13 following a 5-2 loss to the Flyers nine days earlier at home as a -208 favorite in the season opener for Vegas. Philadelphia will be looking to snap a four-game losing streak here following a 4-1 defeat versus Dallas as a -155 favorite. The UNDER is 3-1 in four all-time meetings for totals bettors at the sportsbooks.
Blue Jackets at Maple Leafs | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Maple Leafs -191 Favorites
The Maple Leafs wrap up a two-game homestand when they host the Blue Jackets. They have won three of their last four games overall, edging the Bruins 4-3 in overtime on Saturday as -115 home favorites, with the OVER cashing for the fourth time in five games. Columbus has dropped two games in a row by identical 3-2 scores, with both of them decided in OT. The Blue Jackets closed as +120 road underdogs against the Blackhawks on Friday and as -115 home favorites versus the Islanders on Saturday. The UNDER is on a 5-0 run for Columbus.
Avalanche at Blues | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Blues -115 Favorites
Two of the West’s best teams will square off in St. Louis when the Blues host the Avalanche. St. Louis has struggled a bit lately though with a four-game skid that includes two home losses to Vancouver (as a -200 favorite) and Montreal (-145) on Thursday and Saturday, respectively. Meanwhile, Colorado is the NHL’s last remaining team without a regulation loss, beating Florida and Tampa Bay as a road underdog the last two games after suffering a 3-2 OT loss at Pittsburgh in the second game of a six-game trip that ends in Vegas on Friday.
Senators at Stars | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Stars -220 Favorites
The Senators wrap up a three-game road trip in Dallas against the Stars. Ottawa has lost the first two games of the trip at Vegas and Arizona by a combined score of 8-4, although the first was decided in a shootout with the team closing as a +270 underdog. Dallas finally broke through with its second victory of the season to end a five-game losing streak, defeating Philadelphia 4-1 as a +135 underdog to close out an otherwise disappointing four-game trip. The UNDER is 5-1 in the last six games for the Stars and 7-3 overall for them this year.
