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:

Montreal Canadiens

The Anaheim Ducks were an expected Stanley Cup contender at the beginning of 2015-2016 campaign and after a slow start they are finally living up to their potential. The Ducks are on fire, winning 5 straight, and 2 of them against their hated foes, the Los Angeles Kings and the San Jose Sharks. Ducks are 12-3-2 over their last 17 and are 4-1 in their last 5 at home. Tonight the Arizona Coyotes drag themselves into Honda Center after a tough overtime loss to Chicago last night. The Coyotes are just 2-7 in their last 9 games. Sticking with Ducks while they are hot!!!
