It’s deadline day in the NHL so I’ve been watching the TSN trade centre stream online and it has been a slow day thus far with a few Stanley Cup contenders adding a few small pieces for their playoff run. I took the day off yesterday, but on Saturday I went a poor (1-4) for -3.1 units, which brings the season record to (116-129) for -9.37 units. It’s a fairly busy Monday in the NHL and I have two plays set for tonight.
New Jersey Devils @ New York Rangers
The Devils have been playing good for the entire second half of the season and although they have lost their last 2 games I like their chance tonight in New York. The Rangers have looked like a fairly average team over the past couple weeks and the fact that the Devils have a strong 19-10-1 record on the road makes taking them at +158 a smart bet.

Los Angeles Kings @ Nashville Predators
The Kings were finally able to get a win the other night with a 4-0 victory over the Blackhawks, but tonight they head into Nashville against a Preds team that has shown they are willing to go for the Cup this season. Nashville is 20-7-5 at home this season and the Kings are 12-9-8 on the road. The Kings simply aren’t that good of a team and I don’t expect them to make the playoffs this season. The Predators should win this game at home.
