The Tampa Bay Lightning are clicking on every cylinder and will take their 4-game winning streak into Bell Centre tonight for a matchup with the Montreal Canadiens. The Lightning have won 8 of the last 10 meetings with the Habs, including a 5-4 victory at Amalie on December 28th. The Bolts are hot. Ride them ’til their not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Vegas Golden Knights will have revenge on their minds tonight when they play host to the hapless Anaheim Ducks. The Knights fell to the Ducks at the Pond on December 27th but have won 8 of the last 10 meetings with Anaheim. The Ducks are a pathetic 6-11-2 on the road. The Golden Knights prevail.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

The New Jersey Devils are going through some rough times and tonight they will be north of the border for a meeting with the Ottawa Senators. The Devils are just 7-11 on the road and are coming off a 4-5 OT loss to Toronto on Friday where they scored on their own goal. That’s not good. The upstart Senators are a force at Canadian Tire Centre, where they boast an 11-5-1 record and beat the Devils in their first meeting this year, 4-2. This will be the Sens first game since the Christmas break and if they don’t have a holiday hangover they prevail.
TONIGHT’S PICK: OTTAWA SENATORS

The San Jose Sharks have lost 3 straight and 9 of their last 10 but look for them to get back on track tonight when they play host to the Los Angeles Kings. The Kings are also on a 3-game skid and have just 5 road victories under their belt. San Jose won the first 2 meetings with Los Angeles this year and 7 of the last 10. The Sharks at the Tank are always worth considering.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN JOSE SHARKS

The Tampa Bay Lightning will be hosting the red hot Florida Panthers tonight and if anyone can slow them down, it’s the Bolts. Tampa has won 8 of the last 10 meetings with Florida and they are 16-5 in their last 21 at home against their state rival.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Buffalo Sabres are on a 3-game skid but that ends today when they host the Los Angeles Kings in a matinée at KeyBank Center. The Sabres have won the last 3 meetings with the Kings, who are a pathetic 5-12-3 on the road. Buffalo dominates at home, with a record of 10-3-3, but could be without their captain, Jack Eichel, who is questionable with an upper body injury. With or without him, the Western New Yorkers get it done.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

The Washington Capitals are road killers. Take them over the New Jersey Devils tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS
