The Seattle Kraken are riding a 2-game winning streak but now take it on the road where they are a dismal 1-6-1-0. Tonight they will be put to the test when they visit Amalie Arena for a matchup with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Great teams always find a way to win despite adversity, and that is what the Bolts are doing. The Lightning are without two of their top performers, Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point, but are still 11-4-2-1, have won 5 of their last 6, and own a 6-3-1-1 record at Amalie.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Seattle Kraken finally snapped their 6-game losing streak with an impressive 5-2 win at home over the Washington Capitals on Sunday. If they want to make it two in a row, they had better be on their A-game tonight because the Metropolitan-leading Carolina Hurricanes come to town and they are not happy after losing in OT to the San Jose Sharks on Monday. The 14-2-1-0 Canes should be too much for the upstart Krakens to handle, who are just 1-4 in their last 5 at home and 1-4 in their last 5 following a win.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CAROLINA HURRICANES

After losing their last two on the road, the Winnipeg Jets will look to right the ship when they return home tonight to face the Pittsburgh Penguins. Pittsburgh is riding a 2-game winning streak but those wins were against Eastern Conference foes and they have not fared so well against the West, going 0-4 in their last 4. Winnipeg has not been getting it done on the road, but at home they have been a force, as usual, where they are 7-1-0-1. The Jets are very aware of their road shortcomings and will be extra motivated to notch a win tonight before once again taking it on the arches, heading to Columbus on Wednesday.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS

Despite a shootout loss to the Edmonton Oilers last night, the 9-3-2-2 Winnipeg Jets remain tied with the Minnesota Wild for the Central Division lead. Tonight they should get back on track when they visit the lowly Vancouver Canucks. The 5-10-1-1 Canucks have lost 5 straight, 9 of their last 11, and have not had much success against the Jets. They are 6-20 in the last 26 meetings overall and 0-8 in the last 8 meetings at Rogers Arena.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS

The Anaheim Ducks will have their 7-game winning streak on the line tonight when they host the Washington Capitals but they have a problem. Ovi and company have won 4 in a row, are 4-1-1 on the road, and 7-3 in their last 10 at the Pond.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS

Being on the road is nothing new for the New York Islanders but it has to be taking its toll. Tonight they will be at Amalie Arena to face a Tampa Bay Lightning team that has won 5 of their last 7 and are playing like the Champs that they are. The Islanders are just 2-6 in the last 8 meetings in Tampa and the home team is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two clubs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

Two of the Original Six will square off tonight when the Boston Bruins host the Montréal Canadiens and Boston should prevail. The Bruins are 5-1-1 at TD Garden and have owned the Habs. Boston has won 11 of the last 14 meetings and 5 of the last 7 in the Garden.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS
