Took yesterday off after a tough Wednesday that saw both my picks lose. There are still 5 big games in the NHL tonight though so plenty to choose from.
Season record: 32-59 for -30.30 units.
Montreal Canadiens @ Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings are coming off a huge win over the Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks. They have dropped out of the playoffs and haven’t been playing their best hockey of late. That said the big win over Chicago might start a fire under them, as they know this is a crucial time in the season if they want to make the playoffs. The Canadiens have been sliding lately as well, losing 4 of their last 6 with their 2 wins coming in overtime. I like the Red Wings to win tonight and close the gap in the Atlantic Division.
Play: Red Wings 1.952 (5Dimes)
Nashville Predators @ Calgary Flames
The Flames beat the Coyotes the other night, which resulted in a loss for me. They couldn’t possibly win 2 in a row right? I have absolutely no faith in the Flames this season and even though the Preds played last night in Vancouver they should be up for this one. After winning against the Canucks the Preds are now 8 points back of the Wild for the last playoff spot in the West. The Predators must know that these Western Canada games against the Flames and Oilers (the two worst teams in the Conference) are almost must wins. Playoff teams cannot give up points to the bottom teams in the league and this is a great opportunity for Nashville to gain some ground.
Play: Predators 1.952 (5Dimes)
