The second night back in the NHL is also a big one with a lot of teams playing their second game in two nights. Last night I went 1 for 3 and the season record to date now sits at (94-102) for -5 units. Let’s turn this around tonight!
New York Rangers @ Buffalo Sabres
New York played a solid game last night in New Jersey before giving up a late goal that tied the game and losing in a shootout. The Rangers will be ready to go in this game and Lundqvist is back in net after Biron played last night. Buffalo also played last night, winning in Montreal, 3-1. I expect the Rangers to not be happy with their performance last night and they will be ready to go tonight to get the taste of defeat out of their mouths. The Sabres are still a team that is struggling and their win over a weak Habs team shouldn’t imply that they are turning their season around.

Washington Capitals @ Florida Panthers
The Caps lost a tight battle with the Lightning last night and now travel to Sunrise to take on the Florida Panthers. The Panthers have not played in over a week and for this reason I do not believe that the Caps will be more fatigued than the Panthers are rusty. These two teams are battling hard for the top spot in the southeast division so this is a very important game and I expect the best team to dig deep and pull out a win. The best team is the Washington Capitals, even without star forward Alex Ovechkin. In fact I think the Caps could be an even better team without him.

If you made these selections as ProLine picks the odds would have been -153 for the Capitals and -181 for the Rangers, plus these plays would have lost if the team won in a shootout! Never bet on ProLine if you hope to make money betting on the NHL.
