After getting turned upside down last week to accommodate US Thanksgiving, the NHL schedule gets back to normal tonight with a 10-game Tuesday slate.
Hopefully, we get back on track as well after enduring our worst week of the season.
Whether it was due to the schedule or simply some overdue regression, we grinded through a 6-10 week and enter December at 50-30 for +17.8 units on the year.
Breakdowns of all 10 games tonight are below, along with any betting opinions we have for each of them.
We shared our personal betting card (3 picks) with Site Supporters this morning at 10:30 Eastern.
Good luck on whatever you play!
Odds below are at the time we made the pick this morning.
