Lightning at Islanders | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Lightning -125 Favorites
The Lightning complete a three-game road trip versus the Islanders following a 7-6 overtime win against the Devils on Wednesday as a -125 favorite.

New York is riding a seven-game winning streak, with the team scoring exactly three goals four times during that stretch, and the UNDER going 4-2-1. The Islanders have lost four of the past five meetings with the Lightning though and 11 of 13 in the series dating back to 2016.

Detroit snapped an eight-game winless streak with a 3-1 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday as +100 home underdogs. Carolina has outscored the Chicago Blackhawks and Calgary Flames 6-1 in the first two games of a four-game homestand, with the UNDER cashing twice. The Hurricanes lost three straight before that.
Blue Jackets at Blues | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Blues -168 Favorites

Columbus has been outscored 11-5 in losing two in a row to the Philadelphia Flyers and Edmonton Oilers, with the OVER going 3-1 in their last four. St. Louis has won four of five following a four-game losing streak, including a three-game home winning streak.
Stars at Avalanche | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Avalanche -140 Favorites
The Stars have won four of their last five games heading into a key Central Division matchup with the Avalanche following a disappointing 1-7-1 start. These were expected to be two of the best teams in the West going into the season, and Colorado has lived up to expectations with an 8-2-2 mark while Dallas has finally begun to turn things around. The Avalanche has won six of the past eight meetings in the series, with the UNDER cashing in four of the last five.
Canucks at Ducks | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Ducks -116 Favorites
One of the Pacific’s biggest early-season surprises will look to extend their winning streak to three games in the second game of a three-game road trip through California when the Canucks visit the Ducks. Vancouver has also won four of six and eight of 10 since losing its first two games while Anaheim has headed in the opposite direction with losses in four of six. The Ducks have had the edge in this matchup lately, winning three of four and seven of nine.
Jets at Sharks | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Sharks -140 Favorites
Two of the most disappointing teams in the West battle in San Jose when the Sharks host the Jets. San Jose begins a six-game homestand after going 1-3-1 on a five-game East Coast road trip. Winnipeg will be playing the first game of a back-to-back situation before visiting Vegas on Saturday. The Jets have dropped five of seven overall, and they have also lost the past two meetings with the Sharks at home. However, Winnipeg has won two straight in San Jose and is 3-1 the last four times the team has played the first game of a back-to-back.
