The Rangers came through a couple nights ago, defeating the Capitals as big underdogs to give us a positive return for the night. Tonight we’ve found another couple
New Jersey Devils @ Detroit Red Wings
The Devils have been playing very well of late. Unfortunately for them it’s too little too late, but that being said the oddsmakers have not taken this turnaround into account just yet, which is why the Devils are big dogs tonight against the Red Wings even though they have won 4 straight and are (6-0-1) in their last 7. Detroit on the other hand has only won 2 of their last 6 games. The goaltending matchup will be Brodeur vs Howard and I can see this game going either way. For this reason take the good line on the Devils continuing their winning ways of late.
My Pick: New Jersey Devils +165 (Bookmaker.com)
St. Louis Blues @ Calgary Flames
The Blues head into Calgary tonight to face a Flames team that has won 3 straight and put themselves into the playoff race in the Western Conference. The Flames are only 4 points out, while the Blues are 5 points out, making this a huge game for both teams heading into the All-Star break. The Blues have been struggling lately winning only 2 of their last 10 games and they will need to turn this around if they are going to hold on to any hope heading down the stretch. The Blues are (7-11-4) on the road this season, while the Flames are (13-9-1). After looking at each teams play of late and their road vs home records I would have expected the Flames to be bigger favourites than -135. Smart money is on the Flames tonight.
My Pick: Calgary Flames -135 (Bookmaker.com)
