Washington Capitals travel to Air Canada Centre to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs. Caps have an overall record of 16-5-1 and have beat the Leafs in Toronto in their past 2 meetings. Holtby will be in the net tonight, with a GAA of 1.95 and a record of 14-4-0. He’ll be facing the Leafs’ goaltender Bernier, who has a GAA of 3.17 and a record of 0-7-1. Washington should capitalize this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Washington Capitals
Winnepeg Jets head to Excel Energy Center to take on the Minnesota Wild. Hutchinson, the primary goaltender for the Jets has been abysmal and the latest is that Hellebuycke is expected to be between the pipes in his place. The Wild has been strong against the Central teams and tonight should be no exception.
Tonight’s pick:
Minnesota Wild
Vancouver Canucks and the Minnesota Wild meet up tonight on the Wild’s home ice. Vancouver has trouble in Minnesota, losing 9 of the last 13 there, and they are 1-5 in their last 6 overall. The Wild has been hot at home, winning 8 of their last 9 games.
Tonight’s pick:
Minnesota Wild
The Calgary Flames travel to Honda Center tonight to take on the Anaheim Ducks. The Flames’ record in Anaheim has been dismal, winning just 1 of their last 26 there. I don’t see that trend changing tonight.
Tonight’s pick:
Anaheim Ducks
The Nashville Predators limp into MSG tonight to take on the New York Rangers. The Preds have been held scoreless in their last 2 games, getting blanked by Blue Jackets 4-0 on Friday and again 4-0 on Saturday by the Wild. It won’t get any easier for them tonight with Lundqvist in the net for New York.
Tonight’s pick:
New York Rangers
LA Kings are down south, taking on the Carolina Hurricanes. Kings have been stellar on the road with a 5-2 record. On the flip side, the ‘Canes are 2-5 at home. Quick is between the pipes with a 4-1 over his last 5 against them.
Today’s pick:
Los Angeles Kings
The 7-11-1 Colorado Avalanche stumble into Verizon Center to take on Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals. Holtby is between the pipes for the Caps and he’s 10-4 with a 1.94 GAA. How do you bet against that? Taking the Caps…
Today’s pick:
Washington Capitals
