It’s another big Saturday in the NHL tonight and I just sent out our exclusive top pick of the night to our newsletter members. Sign up via the form below if you’d like to receive the Saturday exclusive pick from here on out. Tonight I’m placing two wagers, check them out:
Minnesota Wild @ Calgary Flames
The Wild and Flames are two of the bottom feeders in the Western Conference and both really need W’s in order to stay in the playoff race, even this early in the season. The Wild lost to the Senators on Thursday, while the Flames lit up the Toronto Maple Leafs. That being said, the Wild are a better team overall than the Flames and they should win this game at least 50% of the time even though they are on the road. Nicklas Backstrom is back in net and he will be looking to play at his top level to prove to Todd Richards that he is their go to guy in all situation.
My Pick: Minnesota Wild +140 (Bookmaker.com)
Phoenix Coyotes @ New York Islanders
The Coyotes haven’t been playing well of late and the Islanders finally managed to score a win, beating the Ducks at home the other night, but the Islanders are still a very bad team and the Coyotes should have no trouble outplaying and just flat out dominating the Islanders tonight. The Coyotes need a win to get back on track in the West playoff race and the Islanders are the perfect opportunity for this to happen. The Islanders are trying out Nathan Lawson tonight in his first NHL game and we will see if he provides the spark the Islanders need. In my opinion, he can not be the answer for this bad of a team.
