The 9-13-1-3 New Jersey Devils, who are just 3-10-0-2 at home, finally got a win at Prudential Center on Tuesday but it was against the pathetic bottom dwelling Buffalo Sabres – nothing to get excited about. Tonight the Devils will host the 18-10-1-0 Pittsburgh Penguins and will have their work cut out for them. The Penguins have been hot, winning 6 of their last 7, and usually prevail when they are the favorite, going 14-2 in their last 16. Pittsburgh could be without one of their top performers, Evgeni Malkin, but it shouldn’t matter against a Devils team that is just 1-4 in their last 5 and 2-9 in their last 11 overall.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

The St. Louis Blues are in a funk but look for them to get back in the win column tonight when they head to Staples Center to face the Los Angeles Kings. The Blues have lost 4 straight but 3 of those losses were in overtime, including one to the Kings on March 6th. St. Louis has not been getting it done at home, but have played well on the road, with a record of 10-2-2. LA has also been struggling, losing 2 straight, and are just 3-4-3 in their last 10. I like the Blues in this situation.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ST. LOUIS BLUES

The puck drops early today at TD Garden between the Boston Bruins and the New York Rangers. The Bruins are 8-1 in their last 9 meetings with NY, 10-4 in their last 14 at home against the Rangers, and it’s Saturday.
TODAY’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

The Minnesota Wild are clicking on every cylinder and are coming off a 2-game sweep of a really good Vegas Golden Knights team. Tonight the Wild will be at home, where they are 7-3-0-0, to face the Arizona Coyotes, a team they fell to back on March 6th, 5-2. Payback.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MINNESOTA WILD 

The Buffalo Sabres are on 7-game skid and now they head to Philadelphia to take on the Flyers. Good luck. Buffalo is 3-14 in their last 17 trips to Broad Street and after tonight, heads will roll in the Queen City.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

The puck will drop early today at TD Gardens and who is better at afternoon hockey than the Boston Bruins? Maybe Philadelphia, and that’s that. Boston will be hosting the New Jersey Devils today, a team that has notched just 7 wins on the season. The Bruins are 6-1-0-1 at TD this season and have won 14 of the last 17 meetings at home against the Devils.
TODAY’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

The Toronto Maple Leafs were caught sleeping the other night in Vancouver when they fell to the lowly Canucks, 3-1. That won’t happen tonight.
