Two New York teams will face each other tonight when the red hot Buffalo Sabres head to MSG to take on the New York Rangers. The 22-15-4 Sabres have won 11 of their last 12 and their forward, Tage Thompson, has been on fire with 9 tallies in his last 13 games. The 20-18-6 Rangers have just 1 win in their last 5 tries, are banged up, and a dismal 5-10-4 in Manhattan.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

After a successful road trip where they won 4 out of 7, the Montréal Canadiens return home tonight to Bell Centre to host the Calgary Flames. The 18-20-4 Flames have lost 2 straight and have been awful on the road with a 6-13-2 record. The 23-13-6 Habs won the last meeting with Calgary back in October and they can score, averaging 3.31 goals per game. On the flip side, the Flames rank 29th in the league in goals scored, averaging 2.62 goals per game, which is not good, and they are expected to face Jacob Fowler who has a 2.57 GAA.  
TONIGHT’S PICK: MONTRÉAL CANADIENS
