Last night I broke even after the Leafs weren’t able to get a win, but the desparate Red Wings found a way to beat a hot Jonathan Quick and the Kings.
Season Record To Date: 65-58 for +9.11 units.
Ottawa Senators @ Washington Capitals
The Senators have yet to clinch a playoff berth, something the Washington Capitals did a couple days ago with their win over the Jets. A win tonight will put the Sens in the playoffs for the second year in a row and the inclusion of Erik Karlsson on the road trip could give some extra life to the team as well. After a team clinches they sometimes let their foot of the gas for a second, which could be the case tonight for the Caps. Also, the Sens showed they can beat a hot Capitals team when they beat them about a week ago in Ottawa.

New York Islanders @ Philadelphia Flyers
The Islanders also clinched in a shootout loss a couple days ago in Carolina. The Islanders haven’t made the playoffs in many years and they may feel like the job is done now until the playoffs begin. The Flyers have also been playing some solid hockey of late so I like them to take it in this pick’em game.

Montreal Canadiens @ Winnipeg Jets
The Habs have lost 5 of their last 6 and have given up 28 goals in that span. They are not looking great heading into the playoffs. The Jets are in an absolute must win game or they will be eliminated from the playoffs. Even though they will need quite a bit of help I expect them to get their end of the bargain done with a win over the struggling Habs tonight.

Columbus Blue Jackets @ Dallas Stars
These two teams still have belief they can make the playoffs. The Stars play both the Blue Jackets and Red Wings so they have to feel like they some control over their destiny. On the other side of things the Blue Jackets have to feel they have to win out to have a shot at the playoffs. The Blue Jackets have been playing some really solid hockey of late and I think their will to win will be enough to get them the W and keep their playoff hopes alive tonight.
