The San Jose Sharks will be in Western New York tonight to face the Buffalo Sabres. Both teams are struggling thus far but Buffalo should get this one. The Sabres are averaging 3.7 goals per game as opposed to the Sharks 2.9 and Buffalo has won 11 of the last 15 meetings against them in the Queen City.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

Saturday NHL Pick
The Minnesota Wild should have no problem disposing of the Anaheim Ducks today in St. Paul. The Ducks are a pathetic 2-10-2 on the road and 0-6 in their last 6 in Hockey Town.
TODAY’S PICK: MINNESOTA WILD

The last time the Buffalo Sabres faced the Detroit Red Wings, they whacked them, 8-3. The Sabres are 4-5 on the road, a dog tonight, and worth considering.

Tuesday NHL Pick
The Tampa Bay Lighting will be a road dog tonight when they visit the Boston Bruins. The Bolts are 6-4-0 on the road and can go toe-to-toe with anybody.

Today’s pick is the Vegas Golden Knights over the Vancouver Canucks and we will leave it at that.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Friday NHL Pick
The Buffalo Sabres are a home dog tonight when they host the New Jersey Devils. The Sabres have won two straight after losing, forever, and hockey is a streaky sport. The Devils have come back down to earth and are not as dominant as their record reflects.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES
Wednesday NHL Pick
The Detroit Red Wings will have extra incentive tonight when they host the Nashville Predators at Little Caesars Arena. The Red Wings have lost 6 straight to the Predators and 5 of the last 6 to them at home so it’s time to turn the table. This is not the same old Detroit club. The Red Wings are 9-5-4 overall, 5-2-2 at home, and average 3.3 goals per game. The Predators are 9-8-2, 3-5-0 on the road, and average only 2.7 goals per game. The expected goalie for Nashville is Juuse Saros. He is 7-6-2 with a 3.06 GAA and a .905 SV%. On the flip side, the Red Wings are expected to have Ville Husso between the pipes. He is 7-2-3 with a 2.55 GAA and a .916 SV%. Advantage Detroit.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DETROIT RED WINGS
