There are 5 games tonight, with many teams finishing up their pre-Olympics schedule. Of the 5 games I’m taking 2 favourites tonight.
Season record: 38-74 for -35.15 units.
Florida Panthers @ Carolina Hurricanes
The Panthers played last night at home and lost a 3-1 game to the Detroit Red Wings. The Panthers are not in the playoff picture and have now lost 4 of their last 5 games. The Panthers will also be playing their second of a back to back and their 3rd game in 4 nights. The Hurricanes on the other hand have been playing some pretty good hockey. They did lose to the Jets a couple nights ago, but the Jets were surging and it was a tight game that could have gone either way. Before that the Hurricanes had won 5 of the previous 6. I like the ‘Canes to win this game at home and to put themselves in a decent spot to return from the Olympics and battle it out for a playoff spot.
Play: Hurricanes 1.552 (5Dimes)
New York Rangers @ Pittsburgh Penguins
The Rangers lost at home last night to the Edmonton Oilers by a score of 2-1. The Penguins are not a team you want to play as the second of a back to back. New York has been playing good and they actually won their previous 4 games, but the Penguins can put the puck in the back of the net and will do so at home tomorrow. The Pens won 5-1 in Buffalo a couple nights ago and should be fresh for this game. Take the Penguins to win against their division rivals here.
Play: Penguins 1.621 (5Dimes)
