The Covid bug has hit the Carolina Hurricanes and they have now lost 2 straight and 4 of their last 5 but should get back on track tonight when they host the Ottawa Senators. The worst team in hockey will be playing back-to-back games after getting thumped last night at home by the Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa has now lost 6 in a row. Despite their recent slide, the Canes are just 2 points behind the Washington Capitals for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division and have owned the Senators. The Canes are 17-4 in their last 21 against the Sens at PNC Arena and 7-2 in their last 9 meetings overall.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CAROLINA HURRICANES

The Anaheim Ducks will be playing back-to-back games when they host the Vegas Golden Knights tonight at Honda Center. Back-to-backers are always tough and Anaheim will probably be without one of their top producers and captain, Ryan Getzlaf, who left yesterday’s game with a lower body injury. The Golden Knights come into tonight’s game well rested after having 3 days off and have had the Ducks’ number. Vegas is 18-3 in the last 21 meetings overall and 5-0 in their last 5 at the Pond.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

Two of the Original 6 square off tonight when the Boston Bruins host the Detroit Red Wings. Detroit is riding a 2-game winning streak but has struggled on the road, losing their last 4, and are 3-7-1 overall away from Little Caesars Arena. Boston will be without their top producer, Brad Marchand, tonight who will be serving a 3-game suspension which will hurt but they should still get this one. The Bruins have won 5 of their last 7, are 7-3-0 at TD Garden, 14-3 in their last 17 against the Red Wings at home, and won easily in their last meeting on November 4th, 5-1.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

The Winnipeg Jets snapped their 5-game losing streak on Saturday with an impressive 4-2 road victory over the Calgary Flames. Tonight they will take that momentum to Canada Life Centre when they host the lowly Arizona Coyotes. The Jets boast a 7-2-0-1 home record and should have their way with the Coyotes, who have lost two straight and are 2-9-0-1 on the road. The Jets have won 11 of the last 12 meetings with the Coyotes in Winnipeg and should notch another tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS

With a win tonight at FLA Live Arena, the Florida Panthers will set the all-time record for most home wins (12) to start a season, and guess who is coming to town? The Seattle Kraken. The Kraken’s road troubles continued last night when they were blanked be the Tampa Bay Lightning, 3-0, and are now 1-7-1 on the road. The Panthers are a scoring machine, averaging 3.8 goals per game, and will not be in the best of moods after losing a close one last night to the Washington Capitals, 4-3, in DC.
TONIGHT’S PICK: FLORIDA PANTHERS

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
