NHL Scoring Matchups Breakdown: Friday, November 22, 2024

Here’s a focused breakdown of today’s NHL matchups, using the Raymond Report Scoring Rankings, highlighting where the value lies for bettors.


Matchup #1: Winnipeg Jets (1) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins (22)

  • Winnipeg PPF: 4.21 (Rank 1) | Last 5 Games: 3.4
  • Pittsburgh PPF: 2.71 (Rank 22) | Last 5 Games: 2.2
  • Winnipeg PPA: 2.42 (Rank 2) | Last 5 Games: 3.2
  • Pittsburgh PPA: 3.95 (Rank 32) | Last 5 Games: 4.4

Analysis:
Winnipeg’s league-best offense faces a Penguins team struggling mightily on both sides of the puck. The Jets’ defense, ranked second in goals against, should easily neutralize Pittsburgh’s sputtering attack, which has averaged just 2.2 goals in the last five games. On the other side, Pittsburgh’s defense has been a disaster, allowing nearly 4 goals per game.

Recommendation:

  • Winnipeg puck line (-1.5): The Jets’ dominance on both ends suggests a multi-goal victory is likely.

Matchup #2: Buffalo Sabres (13) vs. Anaheim Ducks (25)

  • Buffalo PPF: 3.26 (Rank 13) | Last 5 Games: 3.0
  • Anaheim PPF: 2.56 (Rank 25) | Last 5 Games: 3.8
  • Buffalo PPA: 3.21 (Rank 19) | Last 5 Games: 3.4
  • Anaheim PPA: 3.0 (Rank 14) | Last 5 Games: 2.6

Analysis:
The Sabres bring a solid offense into this matchup, while the Ducks have seen an improvement in both scoring and defense in recent games. Buffalo’s defense, however, remains a concern, as they’ve allowed 3.4 goals per game in their last five contests. This game could be tightly contested if Anaheim’s recent defensive form holds.

Recommendation:

  • Game total under: Anaheim’s improving defense and Buffalo’s moderate offensive output point to a low-scoring affair.

Best Bets for Friday, November 22, 2024

  1. Winnipeg puck line (-1.5): Back the Jets to dominate a struggling Pittsburgh team.
  2. Buffalo/Anaheim game total under: Expect a lower-scoring matchup given Anaheim’s recent defensive form.
