The Canucks came through for us last night to reiterate the statement that you if you ever see the ‘Nucks as underdogs, take them because they will likely win! The Sabres and Senators weren’t able to pull out wins for us, but tonight I’ve found two more sharp bets that should get us back on the winning track.
New York Islanders @ New Jersey Devils
The Devils have lost three straight while only scoring 1 goal in this span. Ever since they lost to the Senators on March 17th and their playoff hopes started to dwindle the team has gone back to playing early season Devils hockey. They have only won 1 of their last six games and have scored only 5 goals in that span. The Devils just seem to be a deflated team that was playing on pure adrenaline in the hopes of making the playoffs, but now that the realization has set in that the playoffs are not in their future you can expect another lacklustre performance out of them tonight. The Islanders on the other hand have been playing decent hockey for the past couple months and should be up for this game seeing as they haven’t played since Saturday.
My Pick: New York Islanders +140
Anaheim Ducks @ Calgary Flames
This is a huge game for both teams. The Ducks are sitting in 7th in the East, but are only 4 points ahead of the Calgary Flames. The Ducks won their last 2 games and 6 of their last 7 to put themselves in a solid playoff position. Tonight they will need another big game from veteran Selanne and hart trophy candidate Corey Perry to put some pucks in the net and solidify their playoff position. Calgary basically needs to win each of their five remaining games to make the playoffs. They will come ready to play, but the Ducks are a better team and this should show through tonight.
My Pick: Anaheim Ducks +120
