After blowing a 3-goal lead late in Friday’s game with the Islanders, the Detroit Red Wings will have their tails between their legs when they travel to Washington to take on Ovechkin and company in an early one today. The Red Wings have now lost three in a row, are a dismal 1-5 in their last 6 meetings with the Capitals, and 0-4 in their last 4 trips to Capital One Arena. Washington is riding a 2-game winning streak and are tough at home, with a record of 20-8-1. Washington should prevail.

Thursday NHL Pick
The Montreal Canadiens are not having a Canadien-like year, with a record of 22-25-4-2, and when you take them out of the province of Quebec, they are just 8-15-0-1. Tonight they will be in Philadelphia to face the Flyers. The city is celebrating the Eagles Super Bowl victory today and that energy should spill over to Wells Fargo Center for tonight’s contest. The Habs will have their work cut out for them. They are 1-7 in their last 8 road games and 5-16 in their last 21 games on Broad Street. The Broad Street Bullies got out of their funk on Tuesday with a win over Carolina, and just like losing, winning can be contagious. The Flyers have been steady at home, with a record of 13-9-3-2, and are 5-2 in their last 7 at Wells Fargo Center. Consider the Bullies in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS
