All Star Weekend was a lot of fun, especially for me living here in Ottawa, but I am happy to get back to picking winners and see the last third of the season play out. Heading into the break I didn’t have the greatest last day going 1-3 with a shootout loss and a couple of one goal losses with my teams dominating the action. This will hopefully all even out in the end and I hope to put together a nice streak here heading out of the break. My season record to date is (93-100) for -4.00 units.
New York Islanders @ Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes are at home to the Islanders tonight and Carolina has been a decent team at home this season and before the break they were playing some solid hockey. Kevin Poulin is in net for the Islanders and he is 0-2 this season. Expect the ‘Canes to take this one at home.

Detroit Red Wings @ Calgary Flames
The Red Wings have had trouble on the road all season and this fact was on full display with their 7-2 loss in Montreal heading into the All Star break. The Flames have been solid at home all season (13-7-2) and at +135 odds the smart money is on the Flames. Especially considering the Red Wings are actually a losing team on the road this season.

New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils
The Devils had no representation at the All Star game, but this may not be a bad thing heading into this game against the Rangers. The Devils will be completely fresh, while the Rangers had several players at the festivities. Biron has had a tremendous year and he is in goal for the Rangers tonight, but I still like the Devils at home in this one, especially as underdogs.
