The Anaheim Ducks are a perfect 4-0 at Honda Center this year and that’s where they’ll be tonight when they host the Calgary Flames. Calgary is just 1-4 on the road and have lost their last 3 trips to the Pond. Ducks stay hot.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ANAHEIM DUCKS

The Tampa Bay Lightning return home tonight from a 6-game road trip to face the Colorado Avalanche. Tampa Bay has won 5 straight against the Avs and 7 of the last 10. They are 41-15 in their last 56 at Amalie Arena and the place will be electric. The Lightning’s dominance over the Avalanche continues.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The 4-2-2 Washington Capitals will host the 2-2-0 New York Rangers tonight at Capital One Arena. The Capitals have won 9 of the last 10 meetings with the Rangers and New York is playing back-to-back games tonight so fatigue could be an issue for them. Ovi and company will get this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS

When the Winnipeg Jets take the ice at Bell MTS Place, good things happen. They win. Last year the Jets were 25-12-4 at home and tonight they will host an Arizona Coyotes team that they have dominated. The Jets have won 8 of the last 10 meetings against the Coyotes and will notch another one tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS

The Ottawa Senators will be facing the best line in hockey (Point, Stamkos and Kucherov) when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning today at Canadian Tire Centre. All-Star Brayden Point showed no rust when he rejoined the lineup on Thursday in Toronto, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist, in a Tampa Bay drubbing of the Leafs. Today the Lightning stay north of the border and will face a rebuilding Senators team that is, not surprisingly, 0-3 to start the season. The Lightning have won 7 of the last 10 meetings with the Sens and Tampa’s lethal offense will be too much for them to handle.
TODAY’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Carolina Hurricanes have surged out of the gate to a 4-0 start. Tonight they will go for 5 straight when they host their division rival, the New York Islanders, in the friendly confines of PNC Arena. The Canes swept the Islanders 4 straight in last year’s semi-finals and it appears New York is still nursing their wounds, going 1-2 to start the season. Carolina has notched 17 goals in their first 4 games and New York’s offense that has mustered just 7 tallies in their first 3 contests. PNC Arena will be electric tonight and the Canes are hot, so ride them.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CAROLINA HURRICANES

If the New York Islanders fall to the Carolina Hurricanes tonight at PNC Arena, and go down 3-0, it’s pretty much over and they know it, so losing is not an option. The Islanders have not been getting it done on their home ice but on the road it’s a different story. New York is 5-0 in their last 5 road games and they are 5-1 in their last 6 trips to PNC Arena. Add to that, the road team is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings between these two clubs. A wager on the Islanders is warranted.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK ISLANDERS
