The New York Rangers will be in the friendly confines of MSG tonight when they host the Detroit Red Wings. The Rangers are 2-1-0 at home. They are expected to have Jonathan Quick between the pipes and he has been outstanding. Quick is 2-0-1 with a GAA of only 1.42 and a .948 SV%. It doesn’t get much better than that.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS

Two of the NHL’s elite will meet tonight at Rogers Arena when the Vancouver Canucks host the Dallas Stars. The Stars are 7-1-1, 4-0-1 on the road and are riding a three game winning streak. Vancouver matches up well with Dallas. The Canucks are 7-2-1, 3-0-1 at home and are winners of their last two. Depending on where you do your shopping, Vancouver comes in as a slight home dog at +110. They are #1 in the league in scoring, averaging a ridiculous 4.6 goals per game and you know Rogers Arena will be electric.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VANCOUVER CANUCKS

The Buffalo Sabres have been one of the worst teams in the NHL for years but things have changed in Western New York. The 5-5-0 Sabres are young, talented and believe in themselves, and that is a recipe for winning. After Wednesday’s 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, on Broad Street, the Sabres have now won three straight. Tonight Buffalo will face Philadelphia again but the venue has moved to the Sabres home ice at KeyBank Center. The Flyers are reeling after losing three straight and are just 1-2-1 on the road. Consider Buffalo.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

The Vegas Golden Knights will host the Winnipeg Jets tonight at T-Mobile Arena. Vegas has not lost in regulation thus far, boasting a record of 9-0-1. The 4-3-2 Jets are losers of their last two and had better bring their A-game tonight if they want to knock off the champs. Vegas has won the last 5 meetings with Winnipeg and 4 of the last 5 against them on the strip.
