I gave the wrong date in my last post, but the picks still went exactly to plan with me going 3-0 on the night including 2 big dogs. The season record is starting to look very good and that has a lot to do with me being on fire with my picks over the past month. Remember I was at about -10 not that long ago.
Season Record To Date: 61-56 for +6.81 units
New York Islanders @ Winnipeg Jets
The Islanders and Jets meet up in what is probably the most important game of either teams season. The Jets have won 5 in a row, but still haven’t got back into the playoff picture in the East, while the Islanders have also been on fire winning 5 of their last 6 games, with the only loss coming in OT to the Rangers. I like the Jets in this one though just because they are at home where they have been very strong lately. I’m surprised they aren’t favourites for this reason, but both teams have been on a tear and one will have to lose tonight.

Washington Capitals @ Montreal Canadiens
The Caps huge 8 game winning streak came to a halt in Ottawa on Thursday and now the team is only 2 points ahead of the Jets for the Southeast Division lead. It’s crazy how good the bubble teams in the East are playing and I expect the Caps to dig deep and find a way to beat the Habs in Montreal tonight. Montreal did win their last game at home against Tampa Bay, but that is a poor team and before that the Habs were having trouble keeping the puck out of their net. I expect Ovechkin to put up a goal or two tonight and get his team into the playoffs.
