Last night didn’t go as planned as the Canucks couldn’t even score a goal against the lowly Minnesota Wild and the Devils lost a hard fought battle with the rangers that saw a line brawl break out off the opening faceoff. Tonight there are plenty of games to choose from once again and I’ve found two plays that I feel confident about. The season record now sits at (131-144-1) for -7.79 units
Calgary Flames @ Colorado Avalanche
The Flames who have been playing well of late head into Colorado to play an equally hot Avs team in an extremely important game with playoff implications. The Flames have lost their last two games, which happen to have been to the two lowest ranked teams in the league. They have also not been good on the road this season (14-16-7). The Avs on the other hand are coming off a big road win over the Rangers and have won 4 of their last 5, with the only loss coming in a shootout in New Jersey. Colorado has been playing their best hockey of the season and I expect them to continue with another win tonight. Also look for Landeskog to continue to cement his place as the obvious choice for rookie of the year.

San Jose Sharks @ Los Angeles Kings
The Sharks lost a tough one last night in Anaheim, but they get right back at it tonight in LA. The Sharks picked up two quick wins with Martin Havlat back in the lineup, but faltered last night even though Havlat again picked up two points. The Kings have finally shown they can score and have won 4 straight to move into an absolute deadlock with the Sharks in 9th in the West, but each team has two games in hand on the Avs and one on the Coyotes while being only 1 point back of both teams. I expect a bounce back performance from the Sharks tonight and although they haven’t been great on the road this season and this is their second game in as many nights, in these must win type of games I have to give the edge to the better team. And if both teams play to their potential the Sharks should win tonight.
