Another huge night for us going 2 for 2 with a couple of small underdogs. Both the Flyers and Coyotes looked in control the whole game and each were able to come out with regulation time wins. So last night we went 2-0 for +2.29 units, which brings the season long tally to (32-21 ) for +12.97 units. This kind of a start to the season is better than anything I could have hoped for an I hope to continue providing everyone with winning NHL picks!
Calgary Flames @ Detroit Red Wings
The Wings are currently on a 5 game losing streak and although they aren’t playing badly they are not finding ways to win games. After a team starts losing games consistently, even when they outplay their opponents (like the Wings did against the Wild their last two games) players start to get anxious and maybe grip their sticks a little tighter. The Red Wings are an experienced team so this shouldn’t affect them as much, but this doubt will surely be creeping into their minds. The Flames aren’t a good team, but they still have the ability to win games. The Flames were on a two game winning streak before giving up 5 early goals to the Canucks in Tuesdays loss. In that game though the Flames outplayed the Canucks in the 2nd and 3rd and will look to carry that momentum into Detroit. The Wings are a better team than the Flames, but with their losing streak and the Flames decent play of late (except for the first period of the Canucks game) the odds are just too good to pass up. I mean how can a team on a 5 game losing streak be by far the biggest favourite of the night?

Vancouver Canucks @ Minnesota Wild
The Wild pulled out two tight games against the Red Wings, but they were outplayed in each and Harding stood on his head. The Canucks have much more firepower than the Wings and they will be able to score goals. Which begs the question will the Wild be able to score as well. I think the answer to that question is no. The Canucks should outplay the Wild and win this game easily. Cory Schneider is also the confirmed starter for the Canucks and I for one think he is better than Luongo.

Nashville Predators @ Phoenix Coyotes
The Predators are a strong away team, travelling to Phoenix to play a Coyotes team that played last night in Colorado. Pekka Rinne has played every game for the Preds so far this season and I don’t expect this to change tonight. The Predators and Coyotes play similar styles and each do it very well, but I think the back-to-back fatigue will have more affect on the Coyotes than playing at home will benefit them.
