The Anaheim Ducks have always had issues with the Vegas Golden Knights. They are 1-7 in their last 8 meetings overall and 0-4 in their last 4 in Las Vegas. Tonight will be no different.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

The Montréal Canadiens have had the Toronto Maple Leaf’s number, winning 4 straight, but they are just 1-4 in their last 5 trips to Scotiabank Arena. Matthews and company get it done tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

The Dallas Stars have been walking a tightrope but that can’t continue and their luck runs out tonight when they square off against the Tampa Bay Lightning in game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Tampa is, by far, the more talented team in this series. Their offense is relentless, they are 12-5 in their last 17 playoff games, and 8-3 in their last 11 meetings with the Stars. The Big Guava prevails.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

It’s down to the Final Four in hockey and the Tampa Bay Lighting will get the Eastern Conference finals rolling tonight against the New York Islanders in Edmonton, Alberta. The Lightning are by far the superior team in this matchup. Tampa knocked off the Boston Bruins to advance and that is not an easy task. The Islanders could have fatigue issues after a grueling series with the Philadelphia Flyers that concluded on Saturday. The Lightning will be fresh after having a week off and they have had the Isle’s number, winning 12 of the last 16 meetings.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Los Angeles Kings are clicking on every cylinder and will put their 6-game winning streak on the line tonight when they host the Ottawa Senators at Staples Center. Ottawa has the worst road record in the League, at 7-20-6, and will be playing back-to-back games after getting thumped last night by the Anaheim Ducks. The Sens have struggled against the Kings in LA where they are just 3-8 in their last 11 games and fatigue could also be an issue.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES KINGS

The Philadelphia Flyers have the best home record in the NHL, with a mark of 25-5-4, and will be hosting the best in the business tonight when they square off against the Boston Bruins. The Flyers will have their 9-game winning streak on the line and after tonight it will be 10. They are 4-0 in their last 4 meetings with the Bruins and 4-1 in their last 5 against them at Wells Fargo Center. The Broad Street Bullies are hot. Ride them ’til their not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

The Tampa Bay Lightning will go from playing the best in the business to the worst when they visit the Motor City today for a matchup with the Detroit Red Wings. This looks like a slam dunk but hold on a minute. Tampa is coming off a grueling matchup with the Boston Bruins last night, in which they won, then they have to travel across the country and lace up again with only 17 hours of rest. That’s tough to do. Detroit is well rested and will be playing with confidence after knocking off the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday, 2-1. This has upset written all over it.
TODAY’S PICK: DETROIT RED WINGS
