The Boston Bruins will be in Western New York today to take on the lowly Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres will be without Jack Eichel today due to a high ankle sprain. One of their top producers, Evander Kane, will not play because he will be traded tomorrow. The Bruins are better on the road than the Sabres are at home. Boston is 8-2 in their last 10 meetings with Buffalo and 7-0 in their last 7 trips to KeyBank Center. How do you not take the Bruins in this one?

Tuesday NHL Pick
The Winnipeg Jets are firing on all cylinders and will seek their fourth straight win tonight when they host the Los Angeles Kings at Bell MTS Place. This will not be an easy one for the Jets. The Kings have been respectable on the road, with a record of 18-13-2, but have struggled in Winnipeg, notching just 2 wins in their last 10 trips there. The Jets rarely lose at home, with a record of 23-5-2, and the home team is 15-6 in the last 21 meetings between these two clubs. Winnipeg keeps it rolling.

Monday NHL Pick
The expansion Vegas Golden Knights can now say they are the best team in hockey, with 82 points. Tonight they will play host to the Anaheim Ducks, a team they have beaten 3 times this year. This is the last regular season meeting between these two clubs. Anaheim should be in overdrive tonight. They don’t want to be swept by an expansion team, they need points, and they know it if they want to play in the postseason. The Ducks are playing good hockey, winning 2 in a row, and are 4-1 in their last 5 games against the Western conference.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ANAHEIM DUCKS
