Just as I was starting to get optimistic about Anaheim’s potential, they decided to go and lose 8 games in a row. I’ll be honest, I think this matchup is going to get ugly fast – the Sabres have won 13 of their last 14 outings, and they’ve won their last 5 straight home games. Assuming Luukkonen will get the start, the home team should come into this encounter with every advantage. Meanwhile, the Ducks have lost their last 4 road games by at least 3 goals. I’m on the Sabres to bag a win in regulation here.

Jan 9, 2026: Belle's Picks, Player Props & Parlays (Premium) 🏒🏀
January 9, 2026
Today's Picks
-LA Kings 3-Way ML (+125) | 0.5 Units
-TOR Raptors v BOS Celtics Under 223.5 (-110) | 0.25 Units
-ATL Hawks v DEN Nuggets Over 234.5 (-110) | 0.25 Units
Why These Picks?
LA Kings v WIN Jets: I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the Jets are currently the worst team in the NHL. And, not only has Winnipeg lost 4 of their last 5 meetings with Los Angeles, but they’ll also be playing this encounter on the tail end of a back-to-back. Having gone 11 straight games without a win (oof…) I just can’t bring myself to put money on the Jets in their current from. Now to be fair, Los Angeles hasn’t been anything to write home about either, but they’ve won 2 of their last 3 games – both victories being over the very capable Minnesota Wild. Give me the Kings to bag a win in regulation on the road for a nice return.
TOR Raptors v BOS Celtics: 3 of the last 4 meetings between these two squads have fallen Under 223, friends. To boot, all 3 of Boston’s last home games have yielded lower totals (surprisingly), and the Raptors have held their opponents to 106 points or less in 4 of their last 5 games. I’ll toss a sprinkle on the Under to cash here.
ATL Hawks v DEN Nuggets: With Trae Young out of the picture, I imagine the Hawks will resume playing like an actual basketball team (lol). It makes no sense, but somehow they play way better without Young on the court. I’m not saying Atlanta will bag a win here, but I do think they’ll put enough points on the board to cash the Over. The last 5 meetings between these two teams have gone well beyond 235. My money’s on this game to fall North of 234.5.

Jan 8, 2026: Belle's Picks, Player Props & Parlays (Premium) 🏒
January 8, 2026
Today's Picks
-TOR Maple Leafs v PHI Flyers Over 6.0 (-110) | 0.5 Units
-CAR Hurricanes Team Total Over 4.5 Goals (+150) | 0.25 Units
-CAR Hurricanes -1.5 (+110) | 0.25 Units
-COL Avalanche -1.5 (-105) | 0.25 Units
Why These Picks?
TOR Maple Leafs v PHI Flyers: The last two meetings between these squads cashed the Over with ease, friends. In addition, Toronto has cashed the Over in 2 of their last 3 outings, while Philadelphia’s last 4 straight games have seen at least 6 goals. I don’t doubt a high-scoring affair here, especially with today’s underdog having put at least 3 goals on the board in all of their last 4 games (yes, the Maple Leafs are the dog today!) My money’s on the Over to hit.
ANA Ducks v CAR Hurricanes: The Ducks have lost their last 3 outings by at least 2 goals, and have lost their last 7 straight games. To make matters worse for tonight’s visitors, we all know how tough the Hurricanes can be on their own ice. I’m going after the plus money, betting fam – give me the Canes to cover the PL, and I’ll toss a sprinkle on the home squad to put at least 5 goals in the bag. To be frank, I won’t be surprised if they cash the overall total all by themselves.
OTT Senators v COL Avalanche: If you think the Senators are going to lose this game, they’ll undoubtedly lose it by at least 2. Ottawa’s last 4 straight losses have been by 2+ goals, and Colorado has been damn-near perfect on home ice this season at 17-0-2. I’m on the home team to cover the PL.
