At 28-32-10 with 12 games remaining on the schedule, the Pittsburgh Penguins’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thin thread, but they are still alive and losing tonight at home to the struggling Columbus Blue Jackets is not an option. The Blue Jackets have not played well on the road, at 11-19-4. They come into PPG Paints Arena tonight losers of 5 straight and over that span they have mustered just 4 goals. The Penguins have won 4 of their last 5 and have played well at home, with a record of 17-14-5. They will come out swinging tonight because they have nothing to lose.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

The Los Angeles Kings will take a 5-game winning streak into St. Paul tonight to face the Minnesota Wild. The Kings are hot but keep in mind that 4 of the 5 wins have been at home and they have not been that good on the road, with a record of 13-17-5. The Wild have been struggling and that is partly due to their top scorer, Kirill Kaprizov, being out but they are still a very talented team with a record of 37-25-5 and after Saturday’s 5-1 loss at home to the Blues they will be extra motivated.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA WILD

The Minnesota Wild should get a victory at home tonight over the St. Louis Blues. The Wild have just one win over their last four but have had the Blues’ number, winning the last three meetings, and are catching a team that has lost their last two. The Wild don’t score a lot but make up for it with a strong defense and should prevail against a Blues team that averages under 3 goals per game.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA WILD

The Los Angeles Kings will be on the road tonight to face the Vegas Golden Knights and they are going to have issues. Vegas is hot. The Knights have won 4 straight and are 24-6-3 on the Strip.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

The New jersey Devils are even money at home tonight against the Winnipeg Jets and are the side to consider. Winnipeg is good, we know that; however, they have lost 3 of their last 4 and the Devils are 15-10-4 at the Rock.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW JERSEY DEVILS

When the Vegas Golden Knights lace up their skates on the strip, good things happen. They win. Tonight the Golden Knights are at home and will face the Toronto Maple Leafs, a good value at around -155.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

The Tampa Bay Lightning will go for 9 straight and who better to face than their cross-state rival, the Florida Panthers. The Bolts won the last meeting with the champs, blanking them 4-0. TB is hot, ride them ’til they are not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
