The Philadelphia Flyers are hot, winning three straight, and will be a big home dog tonight when they host the Colorado Avalanche on Broad Street. When you take the Avs out of the Rockies, they are not that good. Consider the Bullies on a nice ticket.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA FLYERS

The Vegas Golden Knights will be in Salt Lake tonight to take on the Utah Hockey Club. The Club has been unpredictable, going 3-7 over their last 10. The best in the Pacific have been just the opposite, winning 7 of their last 10, and averaging over 4 goals per game as opposed to the Club’s 2.81.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

The 8-7-0 Ottawa Senators return home tonight to Canadian Tire Centre to host the 6-8-2 Philadelphia Flyers. Ottawa is riding a 2-game winning streak and looked really impressive against the Toronto Maple Leafs in their last outing, blanking them 3-0. The Senators are also 5-2-0 at home and have had the Flyers’ number, winning 6 of the last 8 meetings. Ottawa is a diamond in the rough. Keep an eye on them.
TONIGHT’S PICK: OTTAWA SENATORS

After getting blanked by the Ottawa Senators, 3-0, last night in front of their home crowd, the Toronto Maple Leafs will look to redeem themselves tonight when they visit Capital One Center and the Washington Capitals. There’s a chance Toronto could see the return of their superstar, Auston Matthews, which would spark their offense. Either way, the Leafs have owned the Caps, winning the last 4 meetings, 8 of the last 9, and are 4-1 in their last 5 trips to DC.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

The Toronto Maple Leafs are always tough at home and that is where they will be tonight when they host the Ottawa Senators. The Leafs are 7-2-0 at Scotiabank Arena and despite being without their superstar, Auston Matthews, they have won 3 straight and outscored their opponents 11-2 over that span. The Senators play well at home, with a record of 5-2-0, but when they take it on the arches it’s a different outcome. When away from Canadian Tire Centre, they are 2-5-0 and have mustered just 3 wins over their last 8 games with 4 of the 5 losses coming on the road.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

The surging Buffalo Sabres will host the Montréal Canadiens in an early one today at KeyBank Center. The 7-7-1 Sabres have won 3 straight, including a 6-1 thumping of one of the league’s best, the New York Rangers, at MSG. The 4-9-2 Habs have lost 6 straight and are a dismal 1-5-1 on the road. Buffalo has won the last two meetings with Montréal, and they score more goals per game and give up less.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO SABRES

The Washington Capitals are on a roll and so is their captain, Alex Ovechkin. The Caps are 9-3-0 overall, 7-1-0 at Capital One Arena, and Ovi has 6 tallies in the last 5 games. Tonight they will host the Pittsburgh Penguins, who are doing just the opposite. The 5-8-2 Penguins have lost 2 straight and 8 of their last 10. Washington is averaging 4.08 goals per game as opposed to Pittsburgh’s pitiful 2.8. The Caps are also allowing just 2.92 goals per game as opposed to the Penguin’s 3.8. The side to consider here is easy.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WASHINGTON CAPITALS
