The Montréal Canadiens will be a road dog tonight when they visit the Washington Capitals and the Habs are going to win.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MONTRÉAL CANADIENS

The Pittsburgh Penguins have lost two straight and will look to get back on the rails tonight when they visit Nationwide Arena and the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Penguins are averaging more goals per game than the Jackets, allowing less, and still have the Kid.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

The Ottawa Senators will host the struggling Philadelphia Flyers tonight in their home opener at Canadian Tire Centre. The Sens went 2-1-0 on the road to start the season, are averaging 3.33 goals per game, and allowing an average of 2.67. The Flyers are still winless at 0-2-2 and have had trouble both finding the back of the net and stopping their opponents from finding it. The Broad Street Bullies are averaging just 1.25 goals per game while allowing an average of 4.25. Ottawa is expected to have Linus Ullmark between the pipes and he has been outstanding. Ullmark is 2-0 with a GAA of only 1.20 and a .949 SV%. The Senators usually come out on top when they play the Flyers, having won the last 5 meetings.
TONIGHT’S PICK: OTTAWA SENATORS

The Carolina Hurricanes will look to redeem themselves in front of their home crowd when they host the Washington Capitals tonight at Lenovo Center. The Champs fell to the visiting Florida Panthers, 1-0, in overtime in their season debut Tuesday and had just 15 shots on goal in the loss but will come out swinging tonight. The Capitals missed the postseason last year with a record of 43-30-9. Alex Ovechkin, who is now 41, sat out all of the preseason with back issues and maybe father time is finally catching up with the NHL’s all-time leading goal scorer. This is Washington’s season debut so timing could be an issue unlike Carolina who flushed that out of their system on Tuesday.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CAROLINA HURRICANES

The Buffalo Sabres will have momentum on their side tonight when they host the Montréal Canadiens in the Nickel City in Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs. KeyBank Center will be electric, Buffalo will finally get the monkey off their back, and it’s about time. Their dedicated fans deserve it.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

The Buffalo Sabres and the Montréal Canadiens are very similar teams but the Sabres are on their home ice and that will be the difference maker tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

The Buffalo Sabres are a very resilient team and they will knot this thing up tonight.
