We broke the 8 game losing streak last night when the Senators came through with another big 3rd period. The season record is now (54-49) for +5.19 units. Tonight there are 5 games in the NHL and I like plays on 3 of them.
Boston Bruins @ Toronto Maple Leafs
The Bruins came back after their winning streak was ended with a big win over the Winnipeg Jets. The Bruins absolutely crushed the Leafs in Toronto in their last meeting 7-0, but I expect this game to be much tighter. Thomas is likely the starter for the Bruins tonight and he has won his last 8 starts, only allowing 13 goals against in those games. The Bruins are a superior team and I expect them to show this against the division rival Maple Leafs tonight.

New Jersey Devils @ Colorado Avalanche
The Devils are 7-5-0 on the road this year and the Avalanche are 4-9-0 at home. The Avs have only won 4 of their last 16 games and I expect them to keep this pace for the rest of the season. The Devils are a much better team and although Brodeur is starting in net tonight I still expect them to win this game easily.

Montreal Canadiens @ Anaheim Ducks
The Ducks have lost 7 in a row and 13 of their last 14 games. The Habs haven’t been playing poorly lately, but they have been on the wrong end of some close games against strong teams such as the Penguins, Flyers and Bruins. I expect Montreal to take full advantage of a weak Ducks team and win this game handily. It’s surprising that a team that has performed so poorly of late is still in a pick’em game solely based on the fact they are playing at home.
