Last night I went 2 for 3, which is a pretty good night for me considering some of my results of late. The Blues did as I thought they would and covered the spread against the Devils to get their revenge on home ice. They didn’t give up a goal either, which was in stark contrast to the 7 they gave up in Jersey. Tonight there are only three games on the schedule.
Season record: 36-62 for -29.03 units.
New York Rangers @ New York Islanders
The second game at Yankee Stadium pits the Rangers against the Islanders. The Rangers were able to dummy the Devils 7-3 in this same stadium on the weekend and many people will think this gives them the edge heading into tonight’s game. That said, they played in the afternoon and this game is at night, which will give the game an entirely different feel. As with most outdoor games I think tonight will basically be a crap shoot, which is why I like the Islanders as the dogs in this one.
Play: Islanders +130 (5Dimes)
Chicago Blackhawks @ Vancouver Canucks
The Blackhawks just can’t seem to get it together. They’ve now lost 4 games in a row, and their last two losses were against the Flames and Jets, two of the bottom feeders in the Western Conference. Tonight is their second of a back-to-back and it’s against a solid Canucks team that is currently in a battle for a playoff spot. The Canucks are coming off an equally embarrassing loss against the Oilers a couple nights ago, but they haven’t been playing poorly and they have had an extra nights rest. I like the Canucks.
Play: Canucks +106 (5Dimes)
