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

Who would of thought at the start of the season the Arizona Coyotes would be occupying first place in the Pacific Division? Well they are, and now they have Taylor Hall… look out! Hall has already made a mark with his new team, notching an assist for the go-ahead goal in Tuesday’s 3-2 triumph over San Jose. The Wild are on a 2-game skid and with a road record of 7-13-2 they will need all the luck they can get if they want to leave the desert tonight with a win. The Coyotes will be out for revenge after losing the first two meetings this year with Minnesota and, with a well rested Hall, they get it done.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ARIZONA COYOTES

The Washington Capitals will have payback on their minds tonight when they visit Nationwide Arena for a matchup with the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Jackets beat the Capitals in Washington on December 9th, 5-2, and that is still fresh in the minds of Ovi and company. Washington has been lethal on the road, with a record of 15-2-1, and will be catching a struggling Columbus team that has lost 2 straight and 7 of their last 10.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS

The Los Angeles Kings are riding a rare 2-game winning streak but that should end tonight when they travel to PPG Paints Arena to face the Pittsburgh Penguins. Los Angeles has been awful on the road, going 3-12-1. The Kings will face a Penguins team that has won 4 of their last 5 and are 13-4-2 at PPG Paints. Pittsburgh is expected to have Tristan Jarry between the pipes and if he gets the nod that doesn’t bode well for LA. Jarry has a GAA of only 1.76 and a .941 SV% which is tops in the NHL.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS

The Tampa Bay Lightning will be hosting a Boston Bruins team tonight that has lost 4 in a row and are playing back-to-back games after a grueling matchup last night with the always physical Washington Capitals, so fatigue will be an issue for Boston. The Lightning have won 8 of the last 10 meetings with the Bruins and, if the Bolts play to their potential, they get this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING
