If the Buffalo Sabres lose on the road tonight to the pathetic Detroit Red Wings, you might as well forget about it.

Saturday NHL Pick
The Tampa Bay Lightning have won 9 straight but that could be in jeopardy tonight because they will be at Wells Fargo Center to face the Philadelphia Flyers. The Broad Street Bullies take care of business at home no matter who it is, where they are 14-2-4, and are coming off an impressive home victory over the best team in hockey, the Washington Capitals. The Bolts have won the last 5 meetings with the Flyers but all good things must come to an end, including a 9-game winning streak. Take the home dog.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS
Thursday NHL Pick
The Tampa Bay Lightning are hot, winning 8 straight, but so are the Arizona Coyotes and that is who the Bolts will be hosting tonight at Amalie Arena. If anyone can slow down Tampa, it’s Arizona. The Coyotes have won 4 straight and notched 18 goals during that span. On the road, they are an impressive 14-6-3 and have won 2 of the last 3 meetings with the Lightning. Arizona is a big dog in this one and worth a shot.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ARIZONA COYOTES
Wednesday NHL Pick
The Dallas Stars are heating up and will be well rested tonight when they head to Staples Center to face the Los Angeles Kings. Dallas has won 4 straight since the Christmas break and last played on January 3rd when they knocked off Detroit, 4-1, so fatigue will not be an issue. LA’s brief hot streak has come to an end. The Kings have lost 2 straight, both at home, and are just 2-6 in their last 8 games. The Stars are 7-3 in their last 10 meetings with the Kings and have won their last 5 visits at Staples Center.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DALLAS STARS
Tuesday NHL Pick
The Vegas Golden Knights will go for their 5th straight win tonight when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins. During their 4-game winning streak, the Knights they have been lighting it up, scoring 19 goals, and are expected to have Marc-André Fleury between the pipes. Fleury will definitely bring his A-game tonight against his old club and was spectacular in the first meeting this year, shutting out the Penguins in a 3-0 Golden Knights win.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS
Monday NHL Pick
The Toronto Maple Leafs have been on fire, going 9-0-1 in their last 10 games, and since Sheldon Keefe took over as coach, they are 15-4-1. Tonight they will look to stay hot when they host the Edmonton Oilers. The Oilers are a formidable opponent but at Scotiabank Arena the Leafs dominate, with a record of 11-4-5, and they beat the Oilers in Edmonton back on December 14th, 4-1.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS
Sunday NHL Pick
The Pittsburgh Penguins return home to PPG Paints Arena today to host the Florida Panthers. Despite being riddled by injuries, the Penguins are still getting it done. Pittsburgh boasts a 16-4-3 record at home and Tristan Jarry is confirmed to be between the pipes for the Penguins. Jarry has been outstanding, with a GAA of only 1.94 and a .936 SV%. The Panthers are 8-8-3 on the road and 3-7 in their last 10 against the Penguins. Edge Pittsburgh.
