In Akira Schmid's two starts against the @SanJoseSharks he's won 4-3(OT) and lost 6-3. This game is hitting the over. Maybe even O 7.5.

Devon Levi has lost his last six career road games and that includes @Canucks . Kevin Lankinen on 1 day rest last season was 3-12... and the season prior? 7-6-6. During his entire Canucks tenure, he is 11-20-6 on one day rest. I'm going to take the over here.
@MikeBartner@puckempire The Bruins got blown out in their first game of the 2018-19 season... got all the way up to Game 7 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals
Spencer Knight is 3-0 against the @utahmammoth and Karel Vejmelka lost both his starts to @NHLBlackhawks last season. While Utah vastly improved offensively, the Blackhawks revamped their team to be more competitive with Bedard out of the lineup.
Daccord is 3-2-2 against the @NHLFlames and 2-1-1 in the saddledome since joining the @SeattleKraken
Wolf is 2-1-1 against the Kraken and all of them have been at home. The Kraken had four of their last five season openers and the Flames have won their last four openers
Wolf led with a 2-0-1 record against Daccord, Wolf last season was 17-10-3 at home and Daccord was 8-10-3. The edge goes to the Flames. Some points guys are Beniers, Dunn, Huberdeau and Frost
Saros is 10-3-3 against the Minnesota Wild in his career. Over the past four seasons, he is 4-1-3. However, at home, Saros is 6-1-1 in his career. Saros has also won 3 of the last four home openers. Wallstedt has also lost his first road start of the season each year.
Five of the last eight matchups have gone to overtime and Wallstedt went to OT in every matchup last October. Stammer and Forsberg have lit up the @mnwild the past two years at home with 3G, 3A in 3G each. Boldy is the only one lighting up the @PredsNHL in Nashville recently
Sabres have lost their first road game three years in a row. The Blue Jackets have lost their first home game four years in a row. One of the few games that doesn't pick a side. But the one edge I would take is U 6.5 G. Last four years, both team hit U 6.5 and H2H 6 of last 8
Vasy is 7-3-0 in home openers, but all three losses have come in the past five years. H2H With Shesterkin, they each have 4 wins. Vasy has won 3 of 5 H2H matchups in Tampa. Going to lean Tampa with Vasy's 23-9-1 record at home last year
@NHLFlyers vs @NJDevils Woll is 3-1 in 4 career games vs the Devils while Allen is 4-6 against the Flyers in his career, & 2-3 while with the Flyers. Allen has also won his last four 1st home starts whereas Woll has lost his last four 1st starts of the season
Last season, Philly was 6-4-1 if the 2nd half of a B2B was on the road, and 3-0-1 flying from a home game to a road game. When they lost the 1st half of a B2B, they were 1-0-1 on the 2nd half of the B2B. The Devils have also won four of their last five home openers.
