The Buffalo Sabres will be a slight dog tonight when they travel to the desert to face the Arizona Coyotes. Buffalo doesn’t win a lot of games but they should get this one .The Coyotes are in a funk, losing 4 straight, and the Sabres are 8-2 in their last 10 trips to Arizona.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

The Tampa Bay Lightning won’t come cheap tonight but the reigning Champs should take care of business against the New Jersey Devils at Amalie Arena. The Devils are 5-11-2 on the road and just 1-5 in their last 6 in Tampa.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Anaheim Ducks will have to be on their A-game tonight when they visit the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Ducks are a dismal 1-7 in the last 8 meetings with the Leafs, 1-6 in their last 7 trips to Bay Street, and Toronto has Auston Matthews. Forget about it.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

The New York Rangers will look to continue their home ice dominance when they host the Los Angeles Kings tonight at MSG. New York has been lethal in Manhattan, with a 12-3-2 record, and will be hosting a Kings team that will be playing back-to-back games after eking one out yesterday against the lowly New Jersey Devils, 3-2. Expected to be between the pipes tonight for New York is Igor Shesterkin and he has been on the money. Shesterkin is 19-4-2 with a 2.07 GAA and a 0.936 SV%. Los Angeles has won 5 of the last 6 meetings with New York but that was then and this is now.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS 

The Philadelphia Flyers’ 9-game losing streak has to end sometime and I see that happening tonight when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets. This is a perfect spot for the Flyers to bring the hammer down. The Jackets are a pathetic 6-12 on the road, just 2-5 in their last 7, and Philadelphia has won the last 4 meetings with Columbus. The Bullies are worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

The Colorado Avalanche will be laying a lot of chalk tonight when they visit the Anaheim Ducks but they should be. The Ducks are in a funk, losing 3 straight, 7 of their last 9 since the break, and will be without some of their heavy hitters: Troy Terry, Cam Fowler, among others. The Avs on the other hand are hot. Colorado has won 8 of their last 9 and are averaging 4.3 goals per game. They are also 6-0 in the last 6 meetings with the Ducks and 4-1 in their last 5 trips to the Pond.
TONIGHT’S PICK: COLORADO AVALANCHE

The Tampa Bay Lightning will take their 3-game winning streak into Crypto Arena tonight for a matchup with the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings will be playing back-to-back games after getting drilled in yesterday’s matinée by the San Jose Sharks, 6-2. Tampa comes in with a 12-5-2 road record and have owned Los Angeles, to say the least. The Bolts are 10-1 in the last 11 meetings, 4-0 in their last 4 trips to LA, and are expected to have one of the best in the business between the pipes, Andrei Vasilevskiy, who is 22-6-3 with a GAA of just 2.14 and a .924 SV%.
