Sunday puck favorites

Playing the NHL can be confusing. It seems so random.

And the odds seem so foreign and confusing. You have pucklines and you can give both goals and odds, and, and, and . . . .

You get the idea.

Heres' what I think a player would need to do to win money on NHL hockey. Find value and put the money there. Establish a firm understanding of the odds and the implied probabilities and required winning percentage. Then follow the first rule of sports gaming:

• Don't put money on losers.

My value plays for Sunday's NHL:

• Detroit over Dallas
• Nashville over Chicago

Good luck.
