The Tampa Bay Lightning snapped their 4-game skid on Monday by shutting out a very good Dallas Stars team, 4-0, in Tampa. Tonight they will once again be in the friendly confines of Amalie Arena, where they are an impressive 7-3-3. The Lightning will face the Pittsburgh Penguins and have payback on their minds. Pittsburgh won the last meeting in Tampa last Thursday, 4-2. Stamkos and company aren’t going to let that happen again. The Penguins are just 3-7 over their last 10 but have won 5 straight against the Bolts. Trends end.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Florida Panthers will be at home tonight in Sunrise to take on the New York Islanders. The Cats are all healthy, 7-3-0 at home, and 5-1 in the last 6 meetings with the Isles.
TONIGHT’S PICK: FLORIDA PANTHERS

The New Jersey Devils will be at The Rock tonight to take on the New York Islanders. They beat them in the last meeting, why not again tonight?
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW JERSEY DEVILS

The Boston Bruins are on a rare 2-game losing streak but they get back on track tonight when they visit the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets. The 14-3-3 Bruins have won the last 6 meetings with the 6-12-4 Jackets and they are 5-1 in their last 6 trips to Columbus. The Boston Bruins are the best team in hockey. Hands down.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

The Arizona Coyotes are on a 3-game skid and after tonight it will be 4 when they visit the Vegas Golden Knights on the strip. The Champs are 14-4-2 and have won the last 9 games against the 8-9-4 Coyotes at T-Mobile. Trends end but not tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

The Central leading Dallas Stars will be in the friendly confines of American Airlines Center tonight when they host the Calgary Flames. The 12-4-2 Stars are 5-3-1 at home and despite a tough OT loss on Wednesday to the Vegas Golden Knights, they are still 5-2 over their last 7. The 7-9-3 Flames have had issues finding the back of the net. They are averaging under 3 goals per game, and it won’t get any easier for them tonight with the Stars expected goalie, Jake Oettinger, getting the nod. He is 8-3-2 with a 2.45 GAA and a .920 SV%. Dallas has won the last 2 meetings with Calgary and if they kept yesterday’s Thanksgiving Day festivities in check, they should come out on top.
