The Predators scored early and often last night to build up a quick 3 goal lead in the first period and they never looked back. That win brings my season record up to (88-90) for +2.34 units. Tonight is a big night in the NHL with 11 games on tap, so let’s make us some money betting on the NHL tonight!
Edmonton Oilers @ Columbus Blue Jackets
Here we have a battle of two of the worst teams in the league. The Oilers have won 2 in their last 10, while the Blue Jackets have won 3 in their last 10. Both teams are out of the playoff picture and don’t have the talent to make a push in the second half of the season. Columbus hasn’t played since Saturday and this extra day of rest over the Oilers could play a factor tonight as the teams head towards the All Star break. The Oilers have gone 6-16-1 on the road this season, while the Blue Jackets record of 7-12-3 at home isn’t much better. The Oilers are still without their top offensive player in Jordan Eberle though and they have had trouble scoring goals with only 4 goals for in their last 4 games. This will be the difference with the Blue Jackets able to put a couple extra pucks in the net tonight.

New York Islanders @ Washington Capitals
The Islanders played last night and lost at home to the Predators. Tonight they travel to Washington to take on a Capitals team that has won 3 in a row and is in a battle for a playoff spot in the East. The Caps have won their last 7 home games and have a 17-5-1 record at home this season. I don’t expect the lowly Islanders to break the Caps home winning streak tonight.

Detroit Red Wings @ Dallas Stars
The Red Wings destroyed the Sabres in Detroit last night and today they travel to Dallas to take on the Stars who are also playing their second game in two nights. The Red Wings have been unbelievable at home this season, but their road record of 11-13-0 is not up to par with their talent. The Stars have been strong at home with a 13-8-1 record and although Dallas has not been playing their best hockey of the season I think the home ice advantage against the Red Wings is enough to garner a bet at the +145 odds.
