The New Jersey Devils will look to get back on track when they host the injury riddled Vancouver Canucks tonight at the Rock. The 32-26-12 Canucks’ injuries just keep mounting and their playoff hopes are starting to look bleak. Vancouver has lost 2 straight and 5 of their last 8. They also have trouble finding the back of the net and that doesn’t bode well against a New Jersey team that has one of the lowest goals against average in the league. The 37-28-6 Devils have also lost their last 2 but have had the Canucks’ number, routing them back in October (6-0) in Vancouver and they are 16-2-0 in the last 18 meetings overall.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW JERSEY DEVILS
Month: March 2025
Sunday NHL Pick
As the regular season winds down, the St. Louis Blues are heating up just at the right time. The Blues have won 5 straight and are 12-2-2 over their last 16. This afternoon they will host the Nashville Predators at Enterprise Center. The Preds have nothing to play for and the Blues do. With Calgary breathing down their necks for the last wild card spot, St. Louis cannot afford to lose at home to the inferior Predators and they know it. St. Louis has won both meetings with Nashville this year. The Preds are the worst offensive team in the league, their defense is not much better, and they are a dismal 8-21-5 on the road.
TODAY’S PICK: ST. LOUIS BLUES
Saturday NHL Pick
The Carolina Hurricanes will go for their 9th straight win today when they head to Crypto Arena to face the Los Angeles Kings but hold on a minute. The Kings are also clicking on every cylinder, winning 6 of their last 7. They won the last meeting with the Canes, 4-2, on February 1st and they are lethal at the Crypt with a record of 23-3-4.
TODAY’S PICK: LOS ANGELES KINGS
Friday NHL Pick
At 28-32-10 with 12 games remaining on the schedule, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thin thread, but they are still alive and losing tonight at home to the struggling Columbus Blue Jackets is not an option. The Blue Jackets have not played well on the road, at 11-19-4. They come into PPG Paints Arena tonight losers of 5 straight and over that span they have mustered just 4 goals. The Penguins have won 4 of their last 5 and have played well at home, with a record of 17-14-5. They will come out swinging tonight because they have nothing to lose.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
Thursday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The UC San Diego Tritons and the Michigan Wolverines will face each other tonight at Ball Arena in Denver. This is the Tritons’ first trip to the tournament, and they are ready for the big stage. UCSD was #1 in the Big West and enter the tournament smoking hot, with 15 straight wins. They also have a defense that is allowing an average of just 56.0 points per game and have been a covering machine. The Tritons are 25-7 ATS overall and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 at a neutral site. UCSD is currently getting 2.5 and are worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: UCSD TRITONS +2½
Wednesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The American University Eagles and the Mount Saint Mary’s Mountaineers will meet tonight in the NCAA tournament in Dayton with the winner advancing to play #1 Duke on Friday. These teams match up well, but the Eagles’ defense will be the difference maker. Mount St. Mary’s is allowing an average of just 54 points per game, and they will be able to shut down a mediocre Eagles’ offense. The Mountaineers are currently getting 2.5 points and are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MOUNT ST. MARY’S MOUNTAINEERS +2½
Tuesday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
The first round of the NIT tournament kicks off tonight with the Arkansas State Red Wolves hosting the Saint Louis Billikens. The Red Wolves should come out on top in this one. As the home team they are an impressive 13-2 and the Billikens are just 4-8 as the away team. The Red Wolves have the edge in points scored, free throws, rebounds, steals, and blocks. Home court means a lot and it will factor in this one. The line is climbing so consider the Red Wolves on the money line.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ARKANSAS STATE RED WOLVES M/L
