The Olympic break is finally over, and what a great performance by the NHL players! There was nothing more exciting than the Gold Medal game won by the U.S. 2-1 in overtime, thanks to a goal from Jack Hughes. 

But now that the Olympics and the long break are over, it’s time for the NHL to return for the final month-and-a-half before the playoffs start on April 19.

In terms of betting, a lot of teams had players dealing with nagging injuries and that should help their chances by getting them back on the ice.  Linemakers also tend to overvalue teams that performed well in the Olympics or undervalue those that performed poorly. There’s also the jet-lag factor and fatigue after enduring such physical and emotional highs and lows from the tournament.

But ultimately, motivation is what drives most teams fighting for playoff spots as we not only get closer to the playoffs, but the trade deadline (I know it’s late) on March 6.

At the point where teams desperately need wins, they will ride their number one or hot goaltender, as the backup will see less time. Knowing information about all goaltenders is crucial to making a profit late in the season.

At ATS, we opened the second half with the Under 5.5 Seattle/Dallas (4-1) for a solid winner. We expect to make 50-60 more units before the playoffs and another big score after that for two months of action. Contact us for more information on “special discounts” for the Lock Club.
