Wednesday’s Sheet:

—

– Brian Elliott’s first start for the Avalanche will be interesting. Maybe he pulls a ‘Craig Anderson’, and stands on his head in his debut. The prediction here is that he pulls a ‘Brian Elliott’ instead though, and posts another save percentage in the .800’s.

– PHX/TBL betting lines listed above are not official. I just had to type something in to avoid a ‘system error’. Tampa Bay is on its way back down to Earth though. Goaltending is once again the issue.
