The red hot Anaheim Ducks stay north of the border today as they travel to Edmonton to take on the Oilers. The Ducks have been dominating the Oilers, winning 16 of the last 21 in Edmonton and going 22-5 in their last 27 meetings.
Today’s pick:
Anaheim Ducks
The Montreal Canadiens face the Arizona Coyotes today on the road. Both teams lost their last game but Arizona has the edge, with a home record of 14-11-4 against Montreal’s road record of 12-14-2. Condon is confirmed in the net for the Canadiens. His record is 13-16-4 with a GAA of 2.50 and a SV% of .904. On the flip side, Domingue is expected as goalie for the Coyotes, with a record of 10-8-4, 2.55 GAA and a .916 SV%. Arizona leads in offense with number of goals scored, power play percentage, shooting and faceoffs. I’m taking the desert dogs today.
Today’s pick:
Arizona Coyotes
The Philadelphia Flyers take on the New York Rangers today at Madison Square Gardens. The Flyers’ road record is 11-12-3 and Rangers are 20-5-3 at home. Looking at the goalie matchup, Mason is expected in net for the Flyers, with a record of 13-14-7, while Lunqvist is expected for the Rangers with a record of 27-14-4. I’m siding with the Rangers today.
Today’s pick:
New York Rangers
The Anaheim Ducks are coming off of an impressive win in Philadelphia Tuesday, beating the Flyers 4-1. The Ducks are on fire, going 7-1 in their last 8 games and 4-1 in their last 5 road games. Tonight they visit Columbus, who they beat on November 6th, 4-2. Columbus has been stale at home, over their last 7 games they’re 2-5. With Getzlaf heating up and the kid Rakell finding the back of the net, I’m siding with the Ducks.
Tonight’s pick:
Anaheim Ducks
Calgary Flames just announced that 3 key players will be benched in tonight’s game for disciplinary reasons – Monahan, Gaudreau and Bouma. You might want to reconsider this one.
The Toronto Maple Leafs travel West tonight to take on the Calgary Flames at Scotia Bank Saddledome Arena. Toronto made a big trade today, sending five players to Ottawa including Dion Phaneuf and Matt Frattin. The Leafs are just 1-8 in their last 9 in Calgary. Between these two clubs, home teams usually prevail, going 16-5 in the last 21. Toronto should be a little unsettled tonight due to the trade.
Tonight’s pick:
Calgary Flames
Montreal Canadiens snapped their losing streak yesterday by pummeling Edmonton Oilers 5-1. Winning is contagious. I think that carries over today when they play Carolina Hurricanes at home.
Today’s pick:
