00:00Let's move it over here and talk some NHL action to Stanley.
00:06Hey, Stanley Cup odds.
00:07What are you guys kidding me?
00:07It's only been a week, week and a half into the season.
00:09No, they're already out here and changes are being made.
00:12Y'all, I'll ask you quickly on these. Of the teams, the Oilers,
00:15the Stars, the Panthers, the Rangers, the Leafs, the Devils,
00:17changes from opening day till now.
00:19What have you seen and who do you like?
00:21You know what?
00:22You've really got to look at the New York Rangers.
00:24The New York Rangers coming out so phenomenally strong on all
00:27sides of the puck.
00:29This team has been phenomenal net.
00:31You've got one of the best goaltending duels in the league between
00:35Igor and Jonathan Quick and I love what they're able to produce
00:40offensively. This offense has so much depth on all of their lines
00:44and I do think they can compete against the best of them because
00:48you've got that goaltending as well as a solid defense.
00:52The penalty kill is phenomenal and you look at their power play.
00:57Second best in the league on that power play.
01:00So I do think this team has every ability at plus 1100.
01:04I will be putting some money on that.
01:06Now, I did like the Devils originally, but the Devils have had a
01:09couple of struggles.
01:10I still do think they're a solid place to look in the New Jersey
01:13Devils. We're getting more value.
01:15Their line has moved the opposite way at plus 1300.
01:17I'm expecting this team to come together a little bit more solid
01:21over the next couple of weeks.
01:22They've had some rough losses out there, Donnie.
01:25Yeah, can the Rangers put it together and come up with a victory?
01:27We know they have the goalie for it.
01:28Just a matter of getting that timely scoring once they get to the
01:31playoffs.
01:32We do have some hockey tonight.
01:33Absolutely.
01:33Six games on the card.
01:35The one we're going to focus on the Calgary Flames taking on the
01:38Hockey Club tonight.
01:40As you see me have ran multiple times on this network 930 p.m.
01:43Eastern start.
01:44This game opened up at a minus 140 price as a home favorite towards
01:47Utah Joe, but now we're down to a minus 125 money coming on Calgary
01:51and a total listed between six to six and a half, depending on where
01:54you're shopping at.
01:55What are we looking at tonight between Calgary and Utah Joe?
01:58Yeah, I'm not shocked money has been coming in on Calgary because
02:01they've won the last three meetings here versus Utah nine of the last
02:0510.
02:05So this is a team that dominated and if you're looking at trends in
02:08any sports, they really do hold so true in hockey.
02:13Now, what I like about Calgary tonight is Dustin Wolf in net, not
02:17Dan Bladar.
02:18Dustin Wolf has looked phenomenal this season so far.
02:21He's been the stronger goaltending out there goaltending tandem and
02:24he's ultimately the backup goaltender, even though they really haven't
02:27said this is our lead goaltender in Dan Bladar.
02:30Now you're looking at him three and one on the season with a 2.74
02:34goals against average and a 924 save percentage.
02:37I do think he can stop Utah here in this one.
02:40Both of these teams on losing streets.
02:42So Donnie Calgary losing the last three Utah losing the last four.
02:46I do think the goals will come at some point in this game.
02:51We know there's power on both sides.
02:53Clayton Keller coming out here for Utah, but I do think you look here
02:57at Calgary straight up on the money line.
03:00You also look at Kuzmenko for that anytime goal.
03:02He's already got four goals and three assists on the season and Nazem
03:06Kadri another strong player to look at.
03:08We've also seen Huberto really step up for this team.
03:11The chemistry is just working out there for Calgary sitting fourth in
03:15the Pacific.
03:16Let's get down to the real basics on this Utah Hockey Club.
03:19Now.
03:20I've been voted multiple times best-dressed male on the network here
03:23at the Sportsbook Network.
03:24So I consider myself a fashionista.
03:26Look at Utah Hockey Club, the jersey, the shield.
03:29I mean, Joe, help me out on this.
03:31Please, please agree with me.
03:33We need to get a change quickly here.
03:35Yeah, we absolutely do.
03:36And I do believe they will be changing this name still going to be a
03:40voted upon a name at some point.
03:42Hopefully next season.
03:44They're the Utah Yetis because I think that name would fit perfectly
03:47for them.
03:47Perfect.
03:48Absolutely.
03:49Perfect.
03:49I can't put the Utah Hockey Club and if it catches like, oh, we're
03:52just going to stick with it.
03:53I'm going to have a big grievance against that.
03:55No doubt about it here, but we bring Joe on.
03:57We love to talk hockey.
03:58She's going to be here all season long with us.
04:00Also, make sure you follow here her on the Sports Grid Network doing
04:03big things.
04:04Joe.
04:04Thanks for waking up and shining with us this morning.
04:07Of course.
04:07Thanks for having me here.
04:08Always fun to talk with you.
04:09Donnie, by the way, don't go anywhere.
04:12Joe's up next solo mission.
04:13She's going to point him in the right direction on the ice right here
04:16on the early line.
04:18Welcome back to the early lines.
04:20Okay, you guys, let's talk some hockey.
04:22We talked Calgary versus Utah already.
04:25We're rolling with the Calgary Flames in that situation, but there
04:28are five other games out there on the ice.
04:30I've got a couple of same game parlays.
04:31So let's get straight into it.
04:33The New York Islanders taking on the Columbus Blue Jackets.
04:36This is the first road game here of three for the Islanders and they
04:40are on the second night of a back-to-back after losing at home versus
04:44the Columbus Blue Jackets last night.
04:45I do expect tired legs.
04:47And this is a battle of the Metro here.
04:49We've seen the Columbus Blue Jackets be able to put those goals on the
04:53board averaging 4.13 goals per game.
04:55And I do think they'll be able to hit Vavimov in a net for the New York
04:59Islanders.
05:00So in this one, I'm going to ride here with the over six and a half.
05:04Now you're getting plus money to the over six and a half up plus 100, but
05:07I do think this game has every possibility of OT.
05:10I think this is a 4-3 style game, one in overtime.
05:14So give me the overtime bet in this one up plus 360.
05:18We got to talk about the Winnipeg Jets.
05:19Now the Winnipeg Jets did take the L.
05:22They took the loss after winning eight games consecutively to the Toronto
05:27Maple Leafs.
05:27It was a hard loss you guys.
05:29And if you like that that one, grabbing the Jets plus a two and a half did
05:32end up cashing as they lost that six to four as the Toronto Maple Leafs went
05:36up huge in the first period.
05:38They're facing the Red Wings now and you've got to think this team is going
05:41to come out and want revenge on anyone that they're facing.
05:45So the Red Wings, a prime target here to take the loss.
05:49But I'm going to play this one a little bit more cautiously.
05:52We look at the Winnipeg Jets and they're phenomenally strong on that power
05:56play.
05:56It is converting at 44.4% of the time, the best in the whole league.
06:02And we look here at the kill of the Detroit Red Wings, not solid at all.
06:06Only killing 66.7%.
06:08I'm going to look here at the Winnipeg Jets to be able to convert on that
06:13power play.
06:13And I do think you can look at their top three guys on the top line and the
06:18top power play for their points tonight and combine those points.
06:21And then outside of that, look at those power play points.
06:24So looking here, I would parlay Josh Morrissey, Mark Shifley, and Kyle
06:30Connor for the anytime point tonight.
06:32And when you do so, it's coming in at plus 142.
06:36Now, you can look at them for the power play point as well because I expect
06:39those power points to come in.
06:42They're great plus money.
06:43Kyle Connor is plus 180 on the night for that power play point.
06:48He has four power play goals already this season.
06:51The anytime goal coming in at plus 130.
06:53So that parlay, I think, is where it's at.
06:55That's just a regular point for those three at plus 142.
06:58Again, Morrissey, Connor, and Shifley.
07:02Going down the list, we got the Tampa Bay Lightning taking on the Colorado
07:05Avalanche.
07:06Veseloski expected here for Tampa.
07:09And I do think you look at this Tampa Bay Lightning team.
07:12This is one of the best offenses in the whole league.
07:15Tampa's kill has been one of the worst.
07:17So and they're going to have to be careful because Colorado's power play
07:21is clicking elitely.
07:23So looking here, if Tampa can stay out of that box, Tampa has every ability
07:28to roll into Colorado tonight and get the win.
07:31Looking at the Tampa Bay Lightning, they're coming in at minus 102.
07:35But I do think in this first period with these high octane offenses that we
07:39have on both sides of the puck, you've got to look.
07:42Both teams to score in the first period coming in at plus 155.
07:48Let's jump into the Vegas Golden Knights taking on the LA Kings.
07:51Now, we know the Kings lost last night to the San Jose Sharks.
07:54And in hockey, guys, looking at that look ahead situation is so needed.
08:00The Kings were looking ahead to Vegas today because this is the number one
08:03and number two team in the Pacific.
08:05They didn't care about the number 18 in the San Jose Sharks last night.
08:09So always look for that in hockey.
08:11Look at those advantages.
08:13But tonight in this matchup, they're just so outmatched here by the Vegas
08:16Golden Knights.
08:17The Vegas Golden Knights should be able to get the win here with Aiden Hill in
08:21goal.
08:22Darcy Kemper expected here for the LA Kings.
08:24And while they might come out strong at first, I do think the Vegas Golden
08:28Knights pull away in this matchup here.
08:30So give me the Vegas Golden Knights laying the puck line, laying one and a
08:34half goals for the full game at plus 210.
08:37It's a 5-2 style win here, I do think, for Vegas.
08:42And last but not least, you guys, we have to talk about the New Jersey
08:45Devils versus the Vancouver Canucks.
08:47This is a battle of the Hughes brothers.
08:51We've got Luke, Jack, and Quinn Hughes all out there on the ice.
08:55Of course, Quinn Hughes here for the Vancouver Canucks, Jack and Luke here
08:59for the Devils.
09:00I'm taking all three of these guys parlayed for a point tonight.
09:04It's amazing to see them all out there on the ice together.
09:07And every time we do, we have an explosion of points for them.
09:12So Luke, Jack, and Quinn Hughes all for one plus points tonight coming in at
09:18plus 309.
09:19We're getting so much value out there on the ice.
09:21I do think the Devils can get the win in this one.
09:24And I do expect this one to go to overtime as well, plus 350.
09:29If it does go to overtime, you guys, you look at the Vancouver Canucks,
09:32you've lost three already in overtime this season.
09:34Don't go anywhere.
09:35Newswire coming up in just the next couple of minutes.
09:38Thanks for joining me here on The Early Line.
