NHL Betting Tips December 18th

Sens LogoI haven’t got picks up since the 12th, when I went 1 for 3.  The season record now sits at 25-46 for -24.36 units.  There are two games in the NHL tonight and I have plays for both of them.

Ottawa Senators @ New Jersey Devils

The Sens had a solid performance at home against the tough St. Louis Blues on Monday night.  They will look to build on that tonight in New Jersey in another big game.  Robin Lehner gets the nod again for the Sens and he has been excellent this season.  I like the Senators to try to string two wins together for the first time in a month in Jersey tonight.

Play: Senators 2.15 (5Dimes)

Pittsburgh Penguins @ New York Rangers

The Penguins are riddled with injuries and suspensions right now, but they have still been finding ways to win games.  I expect more of the same tonight with them at Madison Square Garden tonight to face a Rangers team that is just 6-9-1 at home this season.  It’s usually Crosby that is hurt when the Penguins have to step up.  This time Crosby is in the lineup so it’s important for him to show that the team can still win when he is healthy and some of their other key pieces are hurt.

Play: Penguins 2.05 (5Dimes)

In other news the NFL playoff picture is starting to shape up with only 2 games left in the regular season.  If you are interested in Super Bowl betting, the time is now to start thinking about what team you will be backing to win the big game.  Right now I’m leaning towards the Patriots with some solid odds.
