I’m a little late with the picks today after the Super Bowl festivities last night. I was on the 49ers, so I lost that pick, but both of my NHL plays for the day came through so I’m happy about that. There are only a few games in the NHL tonight with the majority being late Western Conference games so you still have quite a bit of time to place your bets.
Season Record To Date: 22-15 for +7.83 units.
Vancouver Canucks @ Edmonton Oilers
The Canucks are finally starting to play like they should, which is as one of the best teams in the Western Conference and the top team in the Northwest. They are coming off a big shootout win over their rival Blackhawks on Saturday night and will now be travelling to face the Oilers for the second time this season. The Oilers got the better of the ‘Nucks in the first meeting, winning in a shootout. But since then the Canucks have shook off some rust and will be the better team on the ice tonight. Luongo gets another start for the Oilers, as he has been solid to start the season and I expect more of the same tonight. I’m close to taking the puckline in this one, but the Oilers also have some firepower so I’m sticking with a money line play.
