After 2 nights off due to a lack of games and sharp plays the NHL is back with a plethora of games typical of a Tuesday night. Saturday night I went 1 for 3 for -0.77 units, which brings the season to date record to (65-60) for +7.53 units.
Ottawa Senators @ Buffalo Sabres
The Senators are in a bit of a slump losing their last 3 games, but the Sabres have also not been playing their best hockey lately having lost 7 of their last 10 games. The Sens are 6-7-3 on the road, while the Sabres are an equally uninmpressive 7-9-2 at home. Ryan Miller is the confirmed starter tonight and he has been shaky of late. This should be a tight game that the Sens could pull out with a good payout.

Detroit Red Wings @ Pittsburgh Penguins
The Penguins have been great at home this season (8-2-2) and the Red Wings have been suspect on the road (6-7-0). The Red Wings have been playing some of their best hockey of the year which is why they are the favourites in this one, but the fact that Crosby is out likely also is playing a role with the bookmakers. The fact is however that the Penguins have been just as good with or without Crosby this year. For this reason I’m taking the solid payout on a Penguins team that is hard to beat at home.

New Jersey Devils @ Florida Panthers
The Devils have been good on the road this season (9-8-0) and the Panthers haven’t been overly great at home (6-2-4). The Devils are a good team and the Panthers have been playing over their heads so far this season. I like a play on the Devils here because it’s solid value.
