My one play yesterday ended up losing in a shootout. This seems to be coming a theme, but the good news is my teams at least aren’t getting blown out of the water when I lose, which indicates my beliefs are still accurate and we will win half of those coin flips over the course of the season.
Season Record To Date: 16-10 for +6.90 units.
Pittsburgh Penguins @ New York Rangers
The Penguins lost their last game 4-1 to the Islanders and before that they defeated the Sens in a shootout in a game that could have easily gone the other way. Prior to that they lost two games, so as you can tell they are not on top of their game at the moment. The Rangers seem to be trending the other way having won their last two games and finally looking like the team they were expected to be. I expect a big game from the Rangers at home and if they can shut down Malkin they should be able to win this game.

Washington Capitals @ Toronto Maple Leafs
The Caps and the Leafs each played tough games a couple nights ago. The Caps blew a two goal lead, losing to the Senators, while the Leafs rallied beat the Sabres in overtime. The Caps looked very good in the first half of the Senators game, but then they got away from their aggressive fore check when they got a lead and the Senators took advantage. If they can put that same pressure on the suspect Maple Leafs D they should have solid results. Don’t expect much out of Ovechkin though, he just isn’t much of a threat out there.

Colorado Avalanche @ Calgary Flames
Anytime a team is this big of a dog against the Calgary Flames I will be on them in a heart beat. The Avs did lose in Vancouver last night, but the Flames simply aren’t a very good team and I still give the edge to the Avs just by looking at the lineups. Colorado isn’t much better, don’t get me wrong, but at these odds they are a very sharp play in Calgary.
