I had a busy weekend so I wasn’t able to get any picks up for a few days, but I’m back now ready to continue last weeks streak.
Season Record To Date: 48-52 for -3.49 units.
Ottawa Senators @ Tampa Bay Lightning
The Senators have lost four in a row and have a bad record on the road this year (6-10-3) but they have been playing well and generating chances. The Lightning sit second last in the Conference and are basically out of the playoff race. The Sens need to put a win together and I think they will against this team that the made the deadline deal with. The Sens should know how to score on Ben Bishop, so I expect at least a few goals from them and maybe one from Conacher against his old team.
Play: Senators +116 (5Dimes.eu)
Pittsburgh Penguins @ Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes are just horrible. They have lost 5 in a row in regulation and only won 1 of their last 13 games to plummet out of the playoff race in the East. It should be no problem for the top team in the East to beat them even if it is on the road.
Play: Penguins -163 (5Dimes.eu)
Washington Capitals @ Montreal Canadiens
The Caps and Ovechkin are on a tear having won 4 in a row and 8 of their last 10. Ovechkin has also quietly laid claim to the most goals in the league alongside Stamkos. This could be a battle between two teams who are playing very well, but at these odds you have to take the hot Caps.
Play: Capitals +140 (SportsInteraction.com)
Buffalo Sabres @ Winnipeg Jets
The Sabres have also started somewhat of a playoff push having won 3 in a row. They are only 4 points out of the playoffs and this is a huge game against the Jets who are also fighting for their playoff lives. I like the Sabres though as the Jets were in quite the downward spiral before a big win at home against the Flyers on Saturday. At these odds though you have to like the Sabres to keep their playoff push going.
