The Arizona Coyotes got a rare win last night by knocking off the New Jersey Devils, 5-0, and tonight they’ll be playing back-to-back games when they travel to Vegas to take on the Golden Knights. Vegas has lost 3 in a row and who better to have come to town than the Coyotes to get back on track? The Golden Knights are 9-2-0-0 at home and 5-0 in their last 5 against the Pacific. The Coyotes are 4-10-2-1 on the road and 1-7 in their last 8 against the Pacific. Vegas gets this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

The Ottawa Senators are in a funk and it won’t get any easier for them tonight because they travel to Brooklyn to take on the New York Islanders. The Sens have lost 7 in a row, have a road record of 4-4-0-1, and have lost their last 4 road games. The Islanders have yet to lose at home in regulation, with a record of 8-0-1-1, and are a scoring machine. New York is averaging 3.67 goals per game overall and at Barclays Center they are averaging 4.60. That’s impressive!
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK ISLANDERS

The New York Rangers are on a roll, winning 10 of their last 12 games and 4 in a row, and they will try to add to that tonight when they host the Florida Panthers. The Rangers boast a home record of 10-4-1-1. They are 8-0 in their last 8 games at MSG and 5-0 in their last 5 against the Atlantic Conference. The Panthers have struggled on the road, with a record of 4-8-0-0. They are 3-10 in their last 13 meetings with the Rangers and are 3-8 in their last 11 visits to MSG. New York is hot – ride them ’til they’re not.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS

The Florida Panthers will be playing back-to-back games tonight when they travel to Honda Center to take on the Anaheim Ducks. The Panthers are 3-7 in the last 10 games overall and 5-15 in their last 20 road games. Fatigue will probably be an issue for them tonight. Take the home team.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ANAHEIM DUCKS

The New York Rangers have a tough task ahead of them tonight when they head to Columbus Ohio to take on the Blue Jackets. Take the Rangers out of MSG and they are 2-4-0. The Blue Jackets are 5-4-0 at home and on a 2-game winning streak. Columbus has the edge in goaltending tonight. Sergei Bobrovsky is expected between the pipes for the Blue Jackets. He has a GAA of 2.16 and a .928 SV%. The Rangers are expected to have Henrik Lundqvist in the crease and he has a GAA of 3.04 and a .904 SV%. I like the home team in this one.
TODAY’S PICK: COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS

The San Jose Sharks have been on a roll and tonight they will host a Florida Panthers team that hasn’t. The Sharks are 6-1 in their last 7 overall and 5-1 in their last 6 home games. On the flip side, the Panthers are 2-6 in their last 8 games overall and a dismal 2-6-0-0 on the road this season. The Panthers have played the Sharks tough in the past but not tonight. Consider San Jose in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN JOSE SHARKS

The Arizona Coyotes will take their pathetic 1-8-1-1 road record to Bell MTS Place tonight to take on the Winnipeg Jets. These two clubs faced off on Saturday in the desert, with Winnipeg prevailing, 4-1. The Coyotes have allowed the NHL’s worst 74 goals. They are 1-4 in their last 5 meetings with the Jets and 0-7 in their last 7 trips to Winnipeg. This should be an easy win for Winnipeg.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS
