The New Jersey Devils will be a home dog tonight when they take on the Vegas Golden Knights. The Devils have lost 3 straight and are due for a win. They are also 9-3-1 at the Rock.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW JERSEY DEVILS

Not only are the Anaheim Ducks #1 in the Pacific, they are young, fast, and score a lot of goals. Consider them tonight when they host the Utah Mammoth.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ANAHEIM DUCKS

Tonight the 11-11-3 Toronto Maple Leafs travel south to face the 12-11-1 Florida Panthers. Auston Matthews is back on the ice for Toronto and good things will happen when he laces up. The Leafs win.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS

The 12-11-0 Winnipeg Jets have lost 4 straight but should get out of their funk tonight when they visit the 8-12-4 Nashville Predators. The Preds have won their last 2 but are still 31st in the league in scoring and 29th in goals allowed – and that is not good. The Jets have held their own on the road, at 6-6, and have won 3 of the last 4 meetings with the Predators.  
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS

The red hot Tampa Bay Lightning will be in the Motor City today to face the Detroit Red Wings in an early one at Little Caesars Arena. Tampa has won 5 straight, 6 of their last 7, is 6-2-2 on the road, averages more goals per game than Detroit, and gives up less. The Bolts are hot; ride them ’til they are not.  
TODAY’S PICK: TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING

The Anaheim Ducks should have no problem taking care of business tonight when they host the Vancouver Canucks. The 9-12-2 Canucks have lost 3 straight, 6 of their last 7, and are dead last in the league in goals allowed. Tonight they are expected to have Jiří Patera between the pipes and if he gets the nod Anaheim should be licking their chops. Patera has a GAA of 7.37 and that is not a typo. The 14-7-1 Ducks have no problem finding the back of the net, averaging 3.59 goals per game. They are also 8-2-0 at the Pond and have won 3 of their last 4.  
TONIGHT’S PICK: ANAHEIM DUCKS

The 13-5-4 Dallas Stars will be a road dog tonight when they visit the 10-9-5 Edmonton Oilers. The Stars have been clicking, winning 6 of their last 8, and the two losses could have gone either way after losing in OT 3-2 to the Calgary Flames and 2-3 to the New York Islanders. The Oilers snapped a 3-game skid with a 6-3 win over the Florida Panthers on Saturday and have played well at home with a 5-1-2 record. Dallas will be without Mikko Rantanen and that will hurt but the Stars are lethal on the road at 7-1-3 and are the better team offensively and defensively.  
TONIGHT’S PICK: DALLAS STARS
