The Nashville Predators limp into MSG tonight to take on the New York Rangers. The Preds have been held scoreless in their last 2 games, getting blanked by Blue Jackets 4-0 on Friday and again 4-0 on Saturday by the Wild. It won’t get any easier for them tonight with Lundqvist in the net for New York.
Tonight’s pick:
New York Rangers
LA Kings are down south, taking on the Carolina Hurricanes. Kings have been stellar on the road with a 5-2 record. On the flip side, the ‘Canes are 2-5 at home. Quick is between the pipes with a 4-1 over his last 5 against them.
Today’s pick:
Los Angeles Kings
The 7-11-1 Colorado Avalanche stumble into Verizon Center to take on Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals. Holtby is between the pipes for the Caps and he’s 10-4 with a 1.94 GAA. How do you bet against that? Taking the Caps…
Today’s pick:
Washington Capitals
The 6-4 Duke Blue Devils travel to Virginia to take on the 3-7 Virginia Cavaliers. Big switch in the number here. The Blue Devils were getting 2.5 and now they’re laying 2. The money’s going on Duke. The Blue Devils are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a losing record, and they are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings against the Cavs. Duke has the edge in the points/game, yards gained, yards allowed, kicking and penalties. Taking the road favorite here…
Today’s pick:
Duke Blue Devils
The Montreal Canadiens travel to Brooklyn tonight and make their debut at the New York Islanders’ new home, Barclays Center. Montreal has dominated the Islanders. They are 4-0 in their last 4 meetings, and they’re 4-0 in their last 4 at the Islanders’ old home at Nassau Coliseum. Islanders have not done well against eastern teams, going 0-4 in their last 4 against the Atlantic Division and 1-6 in their last 7 against the Eastern Conference. The Habs have the edge in offense, defense, power plays, penalty killing, face offs and discipline. It’s confirmed that Carey Price is back tonight and in between the pipes for Montreal.
Tonight’s pick:
Montreal Canadiens
The 0-2 Rice Owls host the 2-0 Oregon State Beavers tonight. The Beavers are averaging 83.5 points per game and 62.5 against. On the flip side, Rice is averaging 59.5 points per game and 88.5 against, and they are 0-2 ATS. The Beavers have the edge in points/game, field goals, free throws, defense, rebounding and bench. Laying the 9 in this one.
Tonight’s Pick:
Oregon State Beavers
Washington Capitals visit the Detroit Red Wings tonight. The Caps have been idle since Friday so they should be well healed and rested for this road contest. Alex Ovechkin has some extra incentive tonight as he tries to surpass Sergei Federov to be the all-time Russian-born scoring leader. The Red Wings have been stumbling at home, posting a 2-5 record over their last 7 at Joe Louis Arena. The Capitals have the edge in offense, defense, power plays, penalty killing, face offs and discipline. I like the Caps in this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Washington Capitals
