Being on the road is nothing new for the New York Islanders but it has to be taking its toll. Tonight they will be at Amalie Arena to face a Tampa Bay Lightning team that has won 5 of their last 7 and are playing like the Champs that they are. The Islanders are just 2-6 in the last 8 meetings in Tampa and the home team is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two clubs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
Month: November 2021
Sunday NHL Pick
Two of the Original Six will square off tonight when the Boston Bruins host the Montréal Canadiens and Boston should prevail. The Bruins are 5-1-1 at TD Garden and have owned the Habs. Boston has won 11 of the last 14 meetings and 5 of the last 7 in the Garden.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS
Saturday NHL Pick
The Toronto Maple Leafs should take care of business tonight in Western New York when they face the Buffalo Sabres. Both teams will be playing back-to-back games but Toronto is the better team, by far.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
Friday NHL Pick
The 5-5-2 Buffalo Sabres have lost five in a row and will have their work cut out for them tonight when they host the 10-2 Edmonton Oilers. The Sabres are a big home dog in this one but worth considering. Buffalo is 4-1-1 at KeyBank Center, are due for a win, and have a lot of young guns that will surprise you.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
Thursday NHL Pick
Tonight the 7-5-1 Nashville Predators will be playing back-to-back road games, which is always tough, when they visit the 8-2-1 St. Louis Blues. The Predators have won the last 4 meetings with the Blues but trends end.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ST. LOUIS BLUES
Wednesday NCAA Football Pick
The 6-3-0 Northern Illinois Huskies will be a home dog tonight when they host the 5-4-0 Ball State Cardinals. Consider the Huskies +2.5 in this one. They are 3-1-0 at home, 5-3-1 ATS on the season, and after an ATS loss they are 9-2-0 ATS in their last 11. On the flip side, the Cardinals are 3-6-0 ATS on the season, 3-9-0 ATS in their last 12 as a favorite, and just 1-8-0 ATS in their last 9 meetings with the Huskies.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NORTHERN ILLINOIS HUSKIES +2.5
Tuesday NHL Pick
The San Jose Sharks are off to a respectable 6-4-0-1 start but the Covid-19 virus has hit them hard, and they will be without seven players tonight plus coach Boughner when they cross the border for a matchup with the Calgary Flames. The 7-1-3 Flames are a top tier team but do not get the publicity they deserve. Calgary was impressive in their 6-0 shutout over the visiting Rangers on Saturday and should take this one at home over a depleted Sharks club.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CALGARY FLAMES
