The Calgary Flames’ road troubles continue. Thursday they lost once again on the road, this time to the Tampa Bay Lightning, and it won’t get any easier for them when they travel to Sunrise for a matinée today with the Florida Panthers. The Panthers are 4-2 in their last 6 overall and a very respectable 5-2-1 at FLA Live Arena. With Thursday’s loss, the Flames are 1-3-1 away from Scotiabank Saddledome and just 2-8 in their last 10 overall. Depending on where you shop, the line is -135 Panthers, which is a little fishy, but they are still worth a consideration.
TODAY’S PICK: FLORIDA PANTHERS

The New Jersey Devils will go for their 11th straight win when they travel north of the border to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs, but not so fast. The Leafs are 6-2-1 at home, have won 8 straight against the Devils and 12 of the last 14 meetings at Scotiabank Arena. All good things must come to an end.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Darryl Sutter will have his crew ready when they host his old team that fired him, the Los Angeles Kings. Enough said.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CALGARY FLAMES

The Toronto Maple Leafs have lost their last two but get back on track tonight because the Vancouver Canucks come to town. The Canucks are 2-4-3 on the road and are 1-12 in their last 13 on Bay Street. Matthews and company get it done tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

Darryl Sutter’s Calgary Flames are spiraling out of control, losers of their last 6, and tonight they will be in Boston to take on the Bruins. Good luck. The Bruins are 7-0 at home and are the best thing on ice.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

The Buffalo Sabres will look to get back in the Win column tonight when they return home to KeyBank Center to face the Arizona Coyotes. The Sabres last two losses were on the road to two of the league’s elite teams, the Carolina Hurricanes and the Tampa Bay Lightning, and they gave both of them a run for their money. The Sabres should come out on top tonight. Buffalo is 4-2 at home, and are averaging 4.1 goals per game and allowing 3.2. Arizona is 3-4 on the road, and are averaging 2.8 goals per game and allowing 4.1. The Sabres have won the last two meetings and are the better team on the ice tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

The St. Louis Blues are on a 6-game losing streak. Will they get back on track tonight when they visit the Boston Bruins? I doubt it. The Bruins are rolling everybody, with a record of 10-2 and they are a perfect 6-0 at TD Garden. They are averaging 4.2 goals per game as opposed to the Blues’ 2.3. During their 6-game skid, St. Louis has been outscored 30-10 and that does not bode well for them, with Linus Ullmark expected to be between the pipes for Boston. Ullmark is 8-0-0 with a GAA of only 2.17 and a .920 SV%.
