Monday NHL Pick

The Vancouver Canucks have won four straight, all on the road, but will be challenged tonight when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers. The Broad Street Bullies have lost their last two, falling to the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo and the New York Rangers at MSG, but at home they are a different team. The Flyers are 10-5-4 on their home ice, have the edge in goals scored, and will be facing a Canucks team that allows an average of 3.34 goals per game.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

Sunday NFL Pick

The 10-4-0 Los Angeles Chargers are on a roll, winning 3 straight and 6 of their last 7. Today they will head to AT&T Stadium to face Dak Prescott and the 6-7-1 Dallas Cowboys. The Bolts’ Justin Hebert should have a big day today against a Cowboys defense that is ranked 32nd in the league against the pass. With a win today, and a loss by the Indianapolis Colts or Houston Texans, the Chargers clinch a playoff spot so they will be extra motivated to put the screws to the Boys who are eliminated from playoff contention.
TODAY’S PICK: LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
+1½

Saturday NHL Pick

The Vancouver Canucks have won three straight, all on the road, but that streak could be in jeopardy tonight when they visit the Boston Bruins. The Bruins are 12-6-0 at TD Garden and unlike the Canucks were off yesterday so they will be well-rested. Boston can score, averaging 3.20 goals per game, and that doesn’t bode well for Vancouver who is expected to have Kevin Lankinen between the pipes. Lankinen is 4-10-3 with a bloated GAA of 3.49.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

Friday NHL Pick

The Florida Panthers will be a home dog tonight when they host the Carolina Hurricanes in Sunrise. Both teams are firing on every cylinder. Florida has won 3 straight and 6 of their last 7. Carolina has won 5 straight and 6 of their last 7 but keep in mind 3 of those wins were shootout wins and could have gone either way. Florida boasts an 11-6-2 record at American Bank Arena, has won 6 of the last 8 meetings with the ‘Canes, and will not take kindly to being a home underdog. Consider the champs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: FLORIDA PANTHERS

Thursday NHL Pick

The Washington Capitals have lost three straight but they should get back in the Win column tonight when they return home to face the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Caps have dominated at Capital One Arena with a record of 10-5-2 and are expected to have Logan Thompson between the pipes. Thompson has a GAA of only 2.09 and should keep Auston Matthews and company in check. Both the Leafs and Caps can score but Toronto has a hard time stopping the puck which will be the difference maker in this game.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS

Wednesday NHL Pick

The Metropolitan-leading Carolina Hurricanes are on a roll, winning 4 straight, and they will look to make it 5 when they visit Bridgestone Arena and the Nashville Predators. Whether at home or on the road, the ‘Canes are a force to deal with, posting a road record of 10-4-1. They will be facing a Predators team that seems to be turning things around. Nashville has won 5 of their last 7 but are no match for one of the NHL’s best. Carolina has the edge in goals scored, goals allowed, and won easily in their last meeting on Dec 6th, 6-3.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CAROLINA HURRICANES

Tuesday NHL Pick

The 16-14-4 New York Rangers will host the 12-17-3 Vancouver Canucks tonight at the Garden. For whatever reason, New York has not played well at home but that will change. The Rangers have had the Canucks’ number, winning the last 3 meetings and 6 of the last 7. Neither team puts up a lot of tallies but the Rangers have a huge edge in goals allowed (2.76) as opposed to Vancouvers’ 3.50. They are also expected to have Jonathan Quick between the pipes and he has a GAA of only 1.86 with a .937 SV%.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS
