The Dallas Stars take their stellar 10-2-0-1 road record north of the border to take on the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Arena tonight. Dallas has been dominating Vancouver, winning 10 of their last 11 meetings overall. Stars have the edge in offense, defense, power plays, penalty kills, faceoffs, discipline and goaltending. Couple all of this with a dismal 3-4-3 home record for the Canucks, Stars should get this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Dallas Stars
Toronto Maple Leafs travel to MTS Centre to take on the Winnipeg Jets. Both goalies are fairly evenly matched but Jets fare well against the Leafs, with a record of 7-2-1 in their last 10 meetings. I like the home team in this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Winnipeg Jets
The Calgary Flames host the Dallas Stars tonight at the Scotiabank Saddledome, with Karri Ramo in the net. His current record is 6-9 with a GAA of 3.02. Flames will face Antti Niemi for the Stars, with a 10-4 record and 2.6 GAA. Stars look like the shining pick with a 10-2 road record.
Tonight’s pick:
Dallas Stars
The New York Rangers have lost 3 in a row but that should change tonight when they host the Carolina Hurricanes. Rangers have won 10 straight at home against the ‘Canes. This is the perfect matchup for Henrik Lundqvist to break out of his slump.
Today’s pick:
New York Rangers
There’s only one hockey game today with Florida at Detroit. The Panthers’ goaltender Roberto Luongo is expected to be in the net. His record has been less than stellar this year. With 18 games under his belt, he’s currently 7-11-1 with a GAA of 2.47. Also, Florida has been struggling on the road with an Away record of 3-4-1-1. Detroit has a home win record of 6-5-2-0. Petr Mrazek will be between the pipes for the Red Wings. He’s played in 13 games with a record of 6-6-1 and a GAA of 2.21. Motor City should take this one.
Today’s pick:
Detroit Red Wings
Washington Capitals travel to Air Canada Centre to take on the Toronto Maple Leafs. Caps have an overall record of 16-5-1 and have beat the Leafs in Toronto in their past 2 meetings. Holtby will be in the net tonight, with a GAA of 1.95 and a record of 14-4-0. He’ll be facing the Leafs’ goaltender Bernier, who has a GAA of 3.17 and a record of 0-7-1. Washington should capitalize this one.
Tonight’s pick:
Washington Capitals
Winnepeg Jets head to Excel Energy Center to take on the Minnesota Wild. Hutchinson, the primary goaltender for the Jets has been abysmal and the latest is that Hellebuycke is expected to be between the pipes in his place. The Wild has been strong against the Central teams and tonight should be no exception.
Tonight’s pick:
Minnesota Wild
