We had a positive night last night, but it could have been even better if the Wild were able to win the shootout against the Preds in a game they dominated. Overall we were 1-1 for +0.7 units, which gets me out of the negatives and brings the season record to (73-76) for +0.54 units.
Toronto Maple Leafs @ Carolina Hurricanes
The Leafs have been struggling lately winning only 3 of their last 9 games, while the Hurricanes have won their last 2 home games and have looked good. Their most recent game was a loss to the surging Penguins, while the Leafs just lost to a reeling Panthers team that had been struggling. Toronto has won only 2 of their last 6 away games and the Hurricanes should be the favourite at home tonight, but the oddsmakers have them as slight dogs.

Edmonton Oilers @ Minnesota Wild
Minnesota played last night, and although they outplayed the Preds they ended up losing their 8th in a row. The Wild are quickly losing positions in the Western Conference and they haven’t been dominant against the Oilers this season. Minnesota won 3 of the 5 games these two squads have played this season, but each of these came in a shootout, which shows that Edmonton will stay with the Wild in this game and the winner will likely be decided by only one or two goals. The Oilers will be fresh and should be able to take advantage of a down and out Minnesota team.
