Last night was huge in terms of having a ton of games with playoff implications. The Stars won a huge game and the Leafs kept alive with a win to break their losing streak. The Blue Jackets were able to get a point, while the Caps were embarrassed in that Dallas game and their chances have diminished greatly.

New York Islanders @ Ottawa Senators
Both of these teams are playing pretty well of late. The Sens are getting a bit more lucky than I think they may deserve with their wins. They aren’t outplaying teams by a large margin and they’ve played several under performing teams in this span. The Isles have also done well and won 6 of their last 10 games. They also have a good 17-17-2 record on the road. I like the Isles as big dogs in this one. Also because my bets against the Sens have been losing and I would like them to keep putting up points.
Play: Islanders 2.70 (5Dimes)
Boston Bruins @ Detroit Red Wings
The Bruins are near impossible to beat right now. They’ve won 15 of their last 16 games with the only loss coming in a shootout to an almost equally hot Canadiens team at the time. The Red Wings are doing good to continue to put up points in their playoff race without their big guns and they will have to continue to do it tonight with Datsyuk and Alfredsson ruled out for the game (Zetterberg is also out). Nyquist will have a harder time scoring against the Bruins than the other teams the Wings have played of late and I expect the Bruins to be especially serious in this game because this could easily be a first round match up.
Play: Bruins 1.69 (5Dimes)
