I wasn’t able to get a post up yesterday on a busy Thursday night in the NHL, but my pick from Wednesday did go as planned so the season record now sits at (90-92) for +1.64 units. There are four games in the NHL tonight, before a huge Saturday that has 14 games set to take place.
Montreal Canadiens @ Pittsburgh Penguins
The Habs are basically out of the playoff race at the moment and although they haven’t been playing horrible hockey the Penguins have been playing extremely well winning their last four games with Malkin dominating the opposition. The Pens have outscored their opponents 16-6 in the last 4 games (I included a shootout win as a goal). The Pens aren’t massive favourites tonight because they are playing their second of back to back games, but the Habs have confirmed Budaj in net tonight, which should help the Penguins chances.

Washington Capitals @ Carolina Hurricanes
The Caps have finally been playing solid hockey winning 7 of their last 10 games and shooting to their rightful spot at the top of the southeast division. Tonight they face one of the worst teams in the league, but because of their below average road record the Caps find themselves in a pick’em game with the Hurricanes. I expect the Capitals to win this game with ease and continue to play good hockey. Who knows maybe Ovechkin will even find the score sheet.
