The Toronto Maple Leafs travel West tonight to take on the Calgary Flames at Scotia Bank Saddledome Arena. Toronto made a big trade today, sending five players to Ottawa including Dion Phaneuf and Matt Frattin. The Leafs are just 1-8 in their last 9 in Calgary. Between these two clubs, home teams usually prevail, going 16-5 in the last 21. Toronto should be a little unsettled tonight due to the trade.
Tonight’s pick:
Calgary Flames
Two 8-13 MAAC teams square off in New Jersey tonight as the St. Peter’s Peacocks face the Quinnipiac Bobcats. The Bobcats are averaging 70.4 points per game on the road. On the flip side, the Peacocks are averaging 65.1 points per game at home. The Bobcats have the edge in points and rebounding, and the Peacocks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 overall.
Today’s pick:
Quinnipiac Bobcats +5
Take the old man and the points.
Today’s pick:
Denver Broncos +5.5
Montreal Canadiens snapped their losing streak yesterday by pummeling Edmonton Oilers 5-1. Winning is contagious. I think that carries over today when they play Carolina Hurricanes at home.
Today’s pick:
Montreal Canadiens
Fairfield Stags host the Manhattan Jaspers today. Fairfield is laying 5 in this game and they should cover it. The Stags are 8-4 at home and are averaging 79 points on their home court. Jaspers come into this game with a 2-7 road record and are averaging 64.8 points on the road. I like the Stags in this one.
Today’s pick:
Fairfield Stags -5
Next blog tomorrow, February 7, 2016.
The Anaheim Ducks were an expected Stanley Cup contender at the beginning of 2015-2016 campaign and after a slow start they are finally living up to their potential. The Ducks are on fire, winning 5 straight, and 2 of them against their hated foes, the Los Angeles Kings and the San Jose Sharks. Ducks are 12-3-2 over their last 17 and are 4-1 in their last 5 at home. Tonight the Arizona Coyotes drag themselves into Honda Center after a tough overtime loss to Chicago last night. The Coyotes are just 2-7 in their last 9 games. Sticking with Ducks while they are hot!!!
Tonight’s pick:
Anaheim Ducks
