The New York Rangers will be a huge dog tonight when they visit the Colorado Avalanche and so they should be. The Avs are the best team in hockey at 13-1-5, are 7-0-2 in the mountains, and are riding a 6-game winning streak. However, the 10-9-2 Rangers should not be taken lightly when they are the visiting team. New York is 9-2-1 away from MSG and is expected to have Igor Shesterkin between the pipes. If anyone can slow down the Avs’ offensive juggernaut, it’s him. The Rangers are definitely worth a consideration in this situation.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS
Wednesday NHL Pick
When the 12-6-1 Anaheim Ducks lace it up at The Pond, good things happen, they win, and that is where they will be tonight when they host the 12-9-0 Boston Bruins. At home, the Bruins are a formidable opponent but when they take it on the arches they are 4-5-0, and against the Pacific Division they have just 1 win in their last 11 tries. The Ducks boast a 6-1-0 record in Anaheim, have won the last 4 meetings with the Bruins, and have the edge in goals scored and goals against.
TONIGHT’S PICK: ANAHEIM DUCKS

Sunday NFL Pick
After last week’s embarrassing loss to the Miami Dolphins, the Buffalo Bills will have a chip on their shoulder when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this afternoon at The Rich. Weather conditions will be perfect for Buffalo football – mid-forties and windy. Feed James Cook. He should have a big day against a mediocre Bucs defense. Lay the 6 and take the Bills.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS -6
Saturday NHL Pick
The Chicago Blackhawks will host the struggling Toronto Maple Leafs tonight at United Center. The Leafs are just 1-4 on the road, and have lost 4 straight. They will be without their superstar Auston Matthews and that doesn’t bode well for them against a Blackhawks team that is allowing just 2.59 goals per game.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CHICAGO BLACKHAWKS
Friday NHL Pick
The 9-5-3 Pittsburgh Penguins and the 5-9-4 Nashville Predators will face off in Sweden this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. EST. The Penguins have lost two straight, are due for a win, and should come out on top in this one. Simply put, the Predators are not a very good hockey team. They have lost five straight, are averaging just 2.56 tallies per game and allowing an average of 3.61. On the flip side, Crosby and company are averaging 3.35 goals per game and allowing a stingy 2.65 goals per game.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
Thursday NHL Pick
The Winnipeg Jets will continue their lengthy West Coast road trip when they visit the Seattle Kraken tonight. The Jets are back to their winning ways after snapping a 3-game skid with a 5-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. The Jets will be catching a Kraken team that has lost its last 2 and 5 of their last 7. Winnipeg scores more goals per game than Seattle, gives up less, and has won 5 of the last 6 meetings against them.
