Revenge will be on the side of the Tampa Bay Lightning when they host the New York Islanders tonight at Benchmark International Arena. Tampa fell to New York on Tuesday but that won’t happen tonight. The Lightning have lost two in a row and are due for a win. They also score a lot of goals and are expected to have Andrei Vasilevskiy between the pipes.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The New Jersey Devils will be a home dog tonight when they take on the Vegas Golden Knights. The Devils have lost 3 straight and are due for a win. They are also 9-3-1 at the Rock.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW JERSEY DEVILS

Not only are the Anaheim Ducks #1 in the Pacific, they are young, fast, and score a lot of goals. Consider them tonight when they host the Utah Mammoth.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ANAHEIM DUCKS

Tonight the 11-11-3 Toronto Maple Leafs travel south to face the 12-11-1 Florida Panthers. Auston Matthews is back on the ice for Toronto and good things will happen when he laces up. The Leafs win.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

The 12-11-0 Winnipeg Jets have lost 4 straight but should get out of their funk tonight when they visit the 8-12-4 Nashville Predators. The Preds have won their last 2 but are still 31st in the league in scoring and 29th in goals allowed – and that is not good. The Jets have held their own on the road, at 6-6, and have won 3 of the last 4 meetings with the Predators.  
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS

The red hot Tampa Bay Lightning will be in the Motor City today to face the Detroit Red Wings in an early one at Little Caesars Arena. Tampa has won 5 straight, 6 of their last 7, is 6-2-2 on the road, averages more goals per game than Detroit, and gives up less. The Bolts are hot; ride them ’til they are not.  
TODAY’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Anaheim Ducks should have no problem taking care of business tonight when they host the Vancouver Canucks. The 9-12-2 Canucks have lost 3 straight, 6 of their last 7, and are dead last in the league in goals allowed. Tonight they are expected to have Jiří Patera between the pipes and if he gets the nod Anaheim should be licking their chops. Patera has a GAA of 7.37 and that is not a typo. The 14-7-1 Ducks have no problem finding the back of the net, averaging 3.59 goals per game. They are also 8-2-0 at the Pond and have won 3 of their last 4.
