It was last Thursday that I was able to get a post up, and I went 1 for 3 for -0.5 units. The Flames really blew that night for me, blowing two 3 goal leads and eventually losing in a shootout. If they pull out that game we are up +2.4 units on the night. A pretty big swing for sure!
As many of my regular readers know, I’m currently on the road doing my 60 games in 90 days road trip (read about it at thebandwagoners.com) so I can’t get as many posts up as I generally like. That said I’m still trying to get my picks up for some of the bigger nights in the NHL and this is one of those.
Carolina Hurricanes @ Pittsburgh Penguins
The Hurricanes have the ability to play with the Penguins if they bring their A-game. So far this season they have played some solid defensive hockey and they will need to do the same in Pittsburgh tonight. If this is a low scoring game it could go either way. I just don’t see the Pens as this big of favourites at this point in the season.

Florida Panthers @ Philadelphia Flyers
The Flyers just fired Laviolette after their horrible start to the season. The Flyers have lost their first 3 games and I don’t see why this will stop with a new bench boss. The Panthers are better than they are given credit for this season and I expect them to get about 35 wins this year. This should be one of those.

Phoenix Coyotes @ New York Islanders
I’m actually going to be at this game on my road trip! That said I do think the Islanders will win this game. They have more top end talent than the Coyotes and seem to be coming together as a team once again. I really like Tavares as a game changer and I see the Isles back in the playoffs this year. To get there they have to win these games at home against inferior opponents.

Tampa Bay Lightning @ Buffalo Sabres
The Lightning have the ability to run up the score, but they are a team where you never really know what you’re going to get. The Sabres though are struggling and with Tampa at + odds I have to take Stamkos and St. Louis.
