I am not having a good last few plays here at NHL Betting Tips, with both the Hurricanes and Jets losing on home ice last night. There are a couple good games tonight so hopefully we will have a bounce back night before the weekend.
Season Record To Date: 34-45 for -11.26 units.
Calgary Flames @ Columbus Blue Jackets
The Blue Jackets have been one of the best teams in the league over the past month. They are 7-0-3 in their last 10 games and have begun to make a push for the playoffs in the West. As I write this they are only two points behind the Sharks for the final playoff spot in the Conference. They can’t afford a slip up tonight against a weak Flames team. I’ve been fading the Flames all season because they are awful. They have only won 3 of 13 games on the road this season and I don’t expect them to add another win to that column tonight.

Pittsburgh Penguins @ New York Islanders
The Islanders faded against the Habs last night, giving up 3 goals in the third period to lose 5-2. Now in a back-to-back game situation they play the Penguins who have won 10 straight. It’s not an ideal situation for the Islanders, and to make matters worse they have won only 5 of 17 home games this year. The Pens on the other hand are 12-4-0 on the road and look almost unbeatable over this stretch of wins. They should keep it going tonight with a relatively easy win over the Isles.
