Not a good start to the break with both of my picks last night falling through by 1 goal each. Tonight there are plenty of games to choose from, so lets hope I get a couple winners.
Season record: 38-77 for -37.60 units.
Washington Capitals @ Florida Panthers
I like the Panthers in this one. The Caps simply don’t have a great team this year and they’ve only won 10 of 28 games on the road so far this season. The Panthers should be able to use their home ice advantage to get back in the win column after the break.
Play: Panthers 2.01 (5Dimes)
Detroit Red Wings @ Ottawa Senators
The Red Wings won a hard fought overtime battle in Montreal last night and now they are right back at it against the Sens. This is a huge game for the Sens who have to catch Detroit in the standings. The loss of Zetterberg should continue to hurt the Red Wings offensively and they won’t be able to keep Ottawa from scoring at least 3 tonight.
Play: Senators 1.77 (5Dimes)
Tampa Bay Lightning @ Nashville Predators
The Preds have a decent 14-12-4 record at home and they will be able to defeat a Tampa Bay team that could be distracted by all of the press around the Martin St. Louis trade request.
Play: Predators 1.93 (5Dimes)
LA Kings @ Calgary Flames
The Kings won two games before the break to stop their losing streak, but they need to stay in the win column for a little longer to make the playoffs. Against one of the worst teams in the league is a great time to pick up another win and I expect Los Angeles to head into Calgary with some urgency in their game.
Play: Kings 1.77 (5Dimes)
