NHL – TRENDS OF THE DAY
The National Hockey League slowly eases back into the second half of the season with three games scheduled on Tuesday, January 28. This includes what should be a great matchup between the Winnipeg Jets and the Boston Bruins. In other action, the Philadelphia Flyers take on the New York Rangers and the Buffalo Sabres battle the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Featured Game
Winnipeg Jets (+155) vs. Boston Bruins (-175)
Winnipeg enters this contest tied for first in the Central Division with 64 points (31-16-2). The Boston Bruins are in fourth place in the Atlantic Division with 59 points (27-17-5). Winnipeg is 13-10-0 on the road this season and they are 6-4-0 in their last 10 games. Boston is 17-7-1 at home and are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games.
Goaltending Matchup:
Winnipeg will start Connor Hellebuyck. Hellebuyck is 21-14-1 this season with a 2.85 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage. The Winnipeg goaltender lost his last start, allowing four goals on 39 shots. He has allowed at least three goals in four of his last five starts.

Prediction
Boston has won four of the last five meetings between these two teams and they are 21-6 in the last 27 meetings in Boston. In addition, the home team has won 24 of the last 32 meetings between these two. While Winnipeg has proven to be one of the best three or four teams in the NHL this season, there is no denying that they had been no match for the Bruins of late. This is why it makes sense to go with the Boston Bruins in this contest.
The total is set at 6.0 in this contest. The total has gone under in eight of the last 13 meetings between these two teams and three of the last six in Boston. This should be a good goaltending matchup, so take the under as the Boston Bruins win, 3-2.
Two Games to Watch
Philadelphia Flyers (+115) vs. New York Rangers (-135)
This should be a great Metropolitan Division battle as Philadelphia enters this contest in seventh in the division with 46 points (20-23-6) while New York is in sixth place with 49 points (21-20-7). Philadelphia is 9-13-3 on the road this season and they are 5-4-1 in their last 10 games. New York is 13-6-5 at home this season and they are 4-6-0 in their last 10 games, including winning their last three.
