The Bruins and Sharks both came through for us last night giving the home teams a combined win of 10-4 for an easy unit victory. That brings the season record to (35-26) for +11.22 units on the season. Tuesdays, which are usually the third best night for NHL games, have come through again with 9 games on deck tonight.
Minnesota Wild @ Calgary Flames
The Minnesota Wild are riding a 4 game winning streak into Calgary, but that streak is mostly thanks to Josh Harding who just won the NHL player of the week award. Niklas Backstrom is back between the pipes tonight for the Wild, but he is no slouch either with a 2.30 GAA and a .912 save percentage. The Wild have been finding ways to pull out tight games and the Flames, although they haven’t been bad of late are a sub par team. The Flames have 4 wins in their last 6 games, but two of these wins came against the Avs, one against a struggling Blues team and one against a struggling Wings team. This game is going to come down to the wire and the Wild have shown they can win these types of games so far this year.

Chicago Blackhawks @ St. Louis Blues
The Blackhawks were embarrassed by rivals Vancouver 6-2 on Sunday so they come into this one looking to redeem themselves. The Blackhawks are on their first 2 game losing streak of the season but they will look to turn things around tonight against a struggling Blues team. The Blues just hired coach Ken Hitchcock and with a new coach one of two things can happen: players can either step up to impress the new coach or the system can fall apart. The Blackhawks will be ready to go so even if the Blues step up and play like they can this will be a tight game.

Away Goals vs Home Goals
Of the 9 games in action tonight the home team is favoured 8 times. This includes a couple of possible blowouts with the Sabres hosting the Jets and the Red Wings hosting the Avalanche. Expect the majority of games to be close, but if there are any blowouts I expect the Home team to be on the winning side and one or two blowouts should easily win this bet.
