Tampa Bay Lightning +130
Toronto Maple Leafs -145
Tampa Bay is currently 0-5 on the road and similarly, the Toronto Maple Leafs are 0-5 at home this season. Tonight is going to be the first win for somebody in one of those categories. The Leafs play has been improving over their last few games, but they are still having trouble finishing teams off……..they still only have 1 win this season. The Lightning on the other hand are on the decline, coming off 2 losses. I feel that this game could go either way, and with a completely 50/50 game, I have to choose the underdog, which surprisingly enough is the Tampa Bay Lightning.
I bet the Tampa Bay Lightning at +130.
New York Rangers -115
Vancouver Canucks -105
Gaborik is back, which makes the Rangers very dangerous. They are 9-4 with Gaborik in the line-up, but their road record this season is 3-4. Compare this with the Canucks home record of 6-2 and you will see why I am leaning toward the Canucks tonight. Raycroft has been playing well, even recording a shutout in his last start, and I’m hoping he and the Canucks can shut down Gaborik, Prospal, Kotalik and Del Zotto.
I bet the Vancouver Canucks at -105.
