Ron Raymond’s NHL Hockey Predictions (January 28, 2010)

Ron Raymond has released his NHL Hockey picks for Thursday, January 28, 2010 and it includes a few NHL underdog selections.

Columbus PK -115: I really like the way the Blue Jackets have been playing at home of late, they are 4-4 in their last 8 home games and those 4 losses were by 1 goal. When LOS ANGELES played as a road team - During Last 3 Years - Won Last Game by 2 Goals; the Kings are 3-7 SU in this role.

Philadelphia PK -180: Anderson was getting on his lazy players last week and I thought they played a bit better, but they are horrible in Philly, 1-9 SU in their last 10 trips. When PHILADELPHIA team played as Home team as a Favorite - During the month of January - After a conference game - Coming off vs Atlantic division opponent; the Flyers are 9-3-1 SU in this spot.

Carolina PK -130: Ward is 9-2 lifetime vs. the Islanders and the Canes are loose right now, which means “uh-oh” for Islanders backers. When NY ISLANDERS team played as a Road team - before a division game - Coming off a Home loss as a Underdog; the Islanders are 2-8-3 SU in this role.

Pittsburgh PK -165: OK, the Sens are red hot, they’ve won 7 straight, so why is the line so high for Pittsburgh (-165)? Streak ends tonight! When PITTSBURGH team played as Home team as a Favorite - Last 5 years - With 2 days off - Allowed 2 goals AGAINST in their last game; the Penguins are 11-1 SU in this situation.

Colorado PK -150: Letdown spot for the Wild after their 5-2 thrashing to the Red Wings last night. When COLORADO team played as Home team as a Favorite - With 3 days off - Coming off a Home win as a Favorite; The Avs are 10-3 SU in this role.

Calgary PK +120: Even though the Flames lost last night, Iginla is playing under the gun and they are 7-3 SU in their last 10 trips to the desert. Great spot for the Road Dog Flames! When ANY NHL Team played as a Road team - During the month of January - Last 5 years - Before a conference game - Playing in back to back games - 3 games in 4 nights - Coming off a 1 goal loss; the OVER is 22-5-3 for the Road Team (CGY) in this role.

St.Louis PK -130: St.Louis nearly pulled the upset last night and now face a sinking ship team. Mason is 3-0 vs. the Oilers. When EDMONTON played as any home/road team - During Last 5 Years - With SU Record of 0 Win 5 Lost in L5G; the Oilers are 5-18 SU in this spot.

San Jose PK -125: Game of the night and the Hawks have a hard time in this building, 2-8 SU in their last 10. When SAN JOSE played as a home team - During Last 2 Years - Won Last Game by 3 Goals; the Sharks are 9-2 SU in this spot.
