There are 6 games on tap this Monday evening and I like plays for two of them. My season record currently sits at (131-142-1) for -5.79 units.
New Jersey Devils @ New York Rangers
The Devils head to New York tonight to play a Rangers team that has been looking very average of late. The Rangers have lost their last 2 games and 5 of their last 7, which includes a 4-1 loss in New Jersey. The Devils on the other hand have been solidifying their playoff position in the East, but they did lose their last game, albeit to a very strong Penguins club. The Devils have been good on the road this season though so they should be able to match the Rangers intensity in front of their home crowd. I could see this one going either way very easily so I like the +125 odds on the Devils.

Vancouver Canucks @ Minnesota Wild
The Canucks won their last game, a tight one over the Blue Jackets, but they only won 3 games on their recent 7 game home stand. Perhaps taking to the road to play who I consider the worst team in the NHL at this point in the season is a good thing. The Canucks haven’t really been having trouble scoring goals and playing an offensively challenged team like the Wild should allow them to easily win this game, likely by several goals. I really like the Canucks puckline in this one (they must win by 2 or more goals for this bet to pay out).
