The Ottawa Senators are seeking their third straight win today but I don’t see that happening because they have to travel to Bell Centre to take on the Montreal Canadiens in an early one. The Senators road record is not good, at 7-13-4, and they have not fared well against the Habs. They are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings and 1-4 in the last 5 trips to Montreal. I like the Canadiens in this situation.
TODAY’S PICK: MONTREAL CANADIENS

Saturday NHL Pick
The Philadelphia Flyers are in need of a win, losing three in a row, but things might brighten up because the Ottawa Senators come to town in an early one in Philly. The Flyers are 13-9-4 at Wells Fargo Center and have won 5 of their last 6 at home. Ottawa is in turmoil and they bring a dismal 6-13-4 road record to Broad Street. Consider the Bullies in this one.
TODAY’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS
Friday NHL Pick
The Vegas Golden Knights were lucky to get a win last night in Winnipeg. It took overtime and a controversial goal that was clearly goalie interference, and how it wasn’t overturned is beyond me. Tonight they will be playing back-to-back games and the Golden Knights will need Vegas luck again because they have to travel to Xcel Center to face the Minnesota Wild. The Wild have been dominant at home, with a record of 17-4-4, and haven’t lost in regulation at Xcel Center since December 16th. These two clubs met in Minnesota on November 30th, with the Wild getting the win, 4-2.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA WILD
Thursday Men’s NCAA Basketball Pick
Revenge will be on the minds of the IPFW Mastodons when they host the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles tonight in Fort Wayne. The Mastodons had won five straight against the Golden Eagles but that streak ended on January 4th, when they were beaten in Tulsa, 76-60. IPFW is a different team when they play at Allen County War Memorial Stadium. At home, they are 10-1, where they are averaging 83.1 points per game and allowing an average of 77.4. Oral Roberts has struggled on the road. They are just 2-11, where they are averaging 67.3 points per game and allowing an average of 82.2. In the last 14 meetings with the Mastodons, the Golden Eagles have covered just once, and they are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 trips to Fort Wayne. The Mastodons will have the edge tonight in Points per Game, Free Throw %, Defense and Turnovers. Consider laying the points and take IPFW.
TONIGHT’S PICK: IPFW MASTODONS -7

Tuesday NHL Pick
The Boston Bruins are red hot and tonight they will host another team that is firing on all cylinders, the Anaheim Ducks. Boston will be without two key players in this match-up. Brad Marchand will not play due to a suspension and Charlie McAvoy with a heart issue. The Ducks have had the Bruins’ number, winning the last 8 match-ups, and they are 5-1 in their last 6 trips to Boston. Good value on Anaheim in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ANAHEIM DUCKS
Monday NBA Pick
The Minnesota Timberwolves will be laying 6 tonight when they travel to Philips Arena to take on the worst team in basketball, the Atlanta Hawks. If Minnesota doesn’t think ahead to tomorrow’s match-up with the Toronto Raptors, then this is a game they should easily cover. Minnesota sits atop of the Northwest Division, at 32-20, and have had their way with Atlanta. The Timberwolves are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings with the Hawks and 7-1-2 ATS in their last 10 visits to Atlanta. Minnesota’s All-Star guard, Jimmy Butler, is back. Enough said.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES -6
