One of our two underdog picks came through last night giving us a modest +0.20 night to build on this evening. A full schedule in the NHL tonight with plenty of important games that will affect playoff positioning.
Ottawa Senators @ Florida Panthers
In a battle of the last place teams in the East nobody has anything to play for. That being said the Senators have been playing fairly well of late, while the Panthers have recently dropped to the bottom of the East and should not be expected to win many more games. Anderson is starting for the Senators tonight, while Clemmensen gets the nod for the Panthers. This goalie battle tremendously favours the Senators and in a game where both teams have nothing to play for a lot can come down to which ‘tender comes ready to play. The Senators should have a slight edge in this one and combining this with the fact they are the underdogs according to the bookmakers makes a bet on the Sens very sharp this evening.
My Pick: Ottawa Senators +115
Nashville Predators @ Colorado Avalanche
Nashville lost their last game and one loss in the tough Western Conference can make a team very worried. The Preds are only 5 points up on the 9th place Stars and have played 2 extra games. This makes bouncing back tonight vital for the team in their playoff push. Lucky for Nashville they are up against the struggling Avalanche. The Avs have only won 3 of their last 26 games and two of those wins were in shootouts over the struggling Oilers and Blue Jackets. The Avalanche are starting Brian Elliott tonight and he has not looked any sharper after being traded from Colorado to Ottawa earlier in the season. This should be an easy win for the Predators.
My Pick: Nashville Predators -165
