The Pittsburgh Penguins will be playing back-to-back games tonight when they visit Amalie Arena for a match-up with the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Penguins have lost 2 straight and will be without superstar Evgeni Malkin. The Lightning have not been clicking like they are capable of and it’s just a matter of time before they do. Tampa should be able to take advantage of a fatigued Pittsburgh team.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The St. Louis Blues have lost 4 in a row and are in dire need of a win. It won’t get any easier for them tonight because they will be hosting the hottest team in hockey, the Colorado Avalanche. If anyone can bring the Avs back down to earth, it’s the Blues. St. Louis has won 8 of the last 10 meetings with Colorado and will have 18,000 fans backing them tonight. Consider the Champs.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ST. LOUIS BLUES

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.
