If the Tampa Bay Lightning want to keep pace with the Buffalo Sabres for the lead in the Atlantic they need to take care of business tonight when they visit the Saddledome and the Calgary Flames, and they will. Tampa is riding a 3-game road winning streak and has won 3 straight against Calgary including a 5-1 lopsided affair back in November. The Flames’ season is over and the reason for that is an offense that is dead last in the league in scoring and a mediocre at best defense.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Buffalo Sabres just keep proving they are a force to be reckoned with. The Sabres are 11-1 since the Olympic break and will continue their west coast road trip when they face the Los Angeles Kings this afternoon a Crypto.com Arena. Buffalo has won 6 straight on the road and cruised to an easy 4-1 win back in January against the Kings.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

The Buffalo Sabres will be on the road tonight to take on the Vegas Golden Knights. The Sabres took care of business against the Golden Knights just last week and will do the same tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

The Dallas Stars will host the Utah Mammoth tonight at American Airlines Center. The Stars are 22-7-4 at home and they will take care of business tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DALLAS STARS

The Vegas Golden Knights will have their work cut out for them tonight when they travel to American Airlines Center to face the hottest team in the NHL, the Dallas Stars. The Stars have won 11 of their last 12 overall and are 7-1 in their last 8 on their home ice. The Knights are in a tailspin, losing 2 straight and 12 of their last 17. Vegas is a mediocre team at best and the only reason they are in a playoff spot is because they play in the weakest division in the league, the Pacific. Dallas is the better team by far on the ice tonight and is the side to consider.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DALLAS STARS

The Philadelphia Flyers have won 4 of their last 5 and will look to remain hot when they host the struggling New York Rangers tonight on Broad Street. The Rangers have lost 7 of their last 9 and are 0-6 in their last 6 road games. The Broad Steet Bullies are still alive in the playoff hunt and cannot afford to lose to a team like the hapless Rangers if they want to see the postseason and they know it. Philadelphia has the edge in goals scored, goals allowed, and will take care of business tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

The 37-16-10 Minnesota Wild and the 42-10-9 Colorado Avalanche will play a matinée today at Ball Arena. Colorado has the best record in hockey and usually comes out on the winning end, but they do have one thorn in their side and that is the Minnesota Wild. The Wild have won 2 of the 3 meetings this year and won the last meeting just last week, 5-2, in Colorado. Minnesota has won 2 straight, 8 of their last 10, and has played well on the road with a record of 19-9-3. The Wild will be a big dog this afternoon which is a good thing and are definitely worth considering.
TODAY’S PICK: MINNESOTA WILD
