No one thought the Princeton Tigers would be playing in the Sweet 16 but here they are. Tonight they will once again be a big dog when they take on the Creighton Bluejays. All the Tigers have done to get here was beat a heavily favored Missouri and Arizona team, and tonight they find themselves in the same situation. The Tigers have similar numbers to the Bluejays and are 6-0 ATS in their last 6. Can Princeton win or at least get under the number? The answer to both is: Yes.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PRINCETON TIGERS +10
Month: March 2023
Thursday NHL Pick
The Seattle Kraken will be on the road tonight when they pay a visit to Bridgestone Arena and the Nashville Predators. This game is important to both teams as they vie for a wild card spot as we come down the stretch. The Kraken are better on the road than they are at home, with a record of 23-9-3. They have also won their last 6 road games and took care of business against the Preds in their last meeting in November, cruising to a 5-1 win. Nashville has had trouble with quality opponents, going just 1-5 in their last 6 against teams with a winning record, and are just 1-3 in their last 4 overall.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SEATTLE KRAKEN
Wednesday NHL Pick
If the Pittsburgh Penguins want to snap their 4-game losing streak, they had better be at the top of their game tonight when they visit Ball Arena and the Colorado Avalanche. The 41-22-6 Avalanche have won 6 straight and, after blanking the Blackhawks 5-0 at home on Monday, they are 5-0 in their last 5 on one day’s rest. As for the 34-26-10 Penguins, the road has not been good to them. They are 6-13 in their last 19 away from PPG Paints Arena and the home team is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.
TONIGHT’S PICK: COLORADO AVALANCHE
Tuesday NHL Pick
Two teams that are smoking hot, the Vegas Golden Knights and the Vancouver Canucks, will meet tonight north of the border at Rogers Arena. With a win last night by the Los Angeles Kings, Vegas is now tied with LA for the top spot in the Western Conference so they cannot afford to lose tonight to the Canucks. Vancouver has won 7 of their last 8 but even though they are playing like a playoff team the reality is they are not. The coaching change came too late in the season for the Canucks, who are under .500, at 31-33-5. The Golden Knights have played well on the road, with a record of 21-7-5. They have won 5 of their last 6 and have Jack Eichel, who is on a tear. The visiting team usually wins between these two clubs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Monday NHL Pick
The Pittsburgh Penguins will look to snap their 3-game skid when they return home tonight to face the struggling Ottawa Senators. The Senators have lost 5 straight and have not played well on the road, at 14-18-2. The Penguins get it done at PPG Paints Arena, with a record of 19-10-5, and are 23-4 in their last 27 meetings with the Sens in Pittsburgh. If Pitt is going to get back on track, tonight’s the night.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
Sunday NHL Pick
The New York Rangers are hosting the Nashville Predators tonight and are worth considering. New York is firing on every cylinder. The Rangers have won 3 straight and 5 of their last 6. At home, New York is 20-11-4.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS
Saturday NHL Pick
When you think of the elite teams in the NHL, the Los Angeles Kings usually don’t come to mind but they should. Todd McLellan has his team surging and they are now just 1 point back of the Vegas Golden Knights for the top spot in the Pacific. The Kings have won 7 of their last 8 and will host the Vancouver Canucks tonight. Vancouver, who has nothing to play for, had won a rare 5 straight but came back to reality Thursday, falling to the lowly Arizona Coyotes, 3-2. LA lost their only meeting with Vancouver this year back in November but that was in Vancouver and this is a different team than it was then. The Kings are 8-1 in their last 9 home games and should take care of business tonight against a Canucks team that is just 4-12 in their last 16 on the road.
TODAY’S PICK: LOS ANGELES KINGS
