The Sabres play wasn’t looking good after the second period in Montreal with Buffalo down 2-0, but the Sabres were able to manage 2 goals in the third and win in a shootout. Tonight there are several games on tap and I have found 3 plays that I like. It’s been a while since I’ve made this many plays, but it seems like the cold streak has snapped and we are back to our winning ways. The season to date record now sits at (42-32) for +11.40 units.
New York Rangers @ New York Islanders
The Rangers are on a tear winning their last 6 games, while the Islanders have dropped their last 3 and 9 of their last 10. That being said the Islanders have been alright at home this season (4-3-1) but 3 of those wins came in their 4 game home stand to begin the season. The Rangers are (4-2-2) on the road, but they have won their last 2 games on the road and 2 of their 4 road losses came in Sweden to start the season. The Rangers are a superior team than the Islanders and they should be bigger favourites in this one.

Detroit Red Wings @ St. Louis Blues
The Red Wings have been extremely streaky this season. They began the season winning 5 in a row, then lost 6 in a row and are now on a 4 game winning streak. That being said each win of the most recent streak came at home and the Red Wings now travel to St Louis. They have gone (2-3-0) on the road this season. The Blues have been playing great hockey of late and are (5-1-1) at home this season.

Ottawa Senators @ Calgary Flames
The Sens are another streaky team. They had a 4 game losing streak, which they follwed up with a 6 game winning streak and a 5 game losing streak. They broke the most recent streak in Toronto and now look to continue on a new winning streak in Calgary. Ottawa has gone (3-5-0) on the road this season, which isn’t horrible, while the Flames are (3-4-1) at home for a similar record. The Flames are a weak team this year and I can see this game going either way so the smart money is on the Sens.

I used some of these picks in my new NHL PRO LINE betting page, which explains to Canadians why they should not bet through the government run sports lottery.
