The Oilers came through for us in a big way scoring 8 unanswered goals to beat the Flames 8-2 last night. The young guys really got going in that one with Hall picking up 5 points and Nugent-Hopkins adding 4. If these young guns can continue to produce down the stretch we could very well see the first playoff series featuring this young and exciting Edmonton Oilers team.
Season Record To Date: 44-50 for -5.79 units.
Philadelphia Flyers @ Toronto Maple Leafs
The Flyers played a strong game at home last night to come from behind and defeat the Canadiens, who have been a strong team all year. They now carry a 3 game winning streak into Toronto and they are playing well. The Leafs haven’t played since last Saturday so it will be interesting to see if they are still firing like they have in their past few games. I like the Flyers as dogs in this one because I think they still believe they can make the playoffs and will dig deep to find the energy to beat the Leafs.

Detroit Red Wings @ Phoenix Coyotes
The Coyotes are in the oddsmakers doghouse right now because of their record over their past 10 games, where they have only won 2. That said the team has won 2 of their last 3 (only loss in OT to a streaking San Jose team) and almost every loss in that past 10 came on the road. They should be able to put together another strong effort against the Red Wings tonight in this pick’em game and keep their playoff hopes slightly alive.

Edmonton Oilers @ Vancouver Canucks
As mentioned before the Oilers scored 8 in a row last night in Calgary and the kids are firing. I don’t think fatigue will be a factor considering how dominating they were last night and the boys will be able to dig deep to try to make the playoffs. The Canucks have lost two in a row and this will be a tough game for them. I like the high flying Oilers as big dogs in this one.
