Season record: 36-64 for -31.03 units.
St. Louis Blues @ Carolina Hurricanes
The Blues are back on track having won their last 3 games after being embarrassed in New Jersey losing 7-1 on January 21st. Tonight they play in Carolina where I expect them to continue to roll with their healthy lineup. The Hurricanes have also played well of late, having won 4 games in a row before that streak coming to an end in the second of back to back games in Montreal on Tuesday. They should be fresh and ready to go tonight, but I still think having Cam Ward out with an injury makes them susceptible to giving up large amounts of goals. I expect the Blues to come into Carolina hard tonight and find the back of the net often.
Play: Blues (-1.5) 3.25 (5Dimes)
New York Islanders @ New York Rangers
The Islanders and Rangers play again after their tight outdoor game battle on Wednesday. The Islanders are just as good a team as the Rangers and I still expect them to find a way to beat their cross town rivals tonight.
Play: Islanders 2.60 (5Dimes)
Washington Capitals @ Detroit Red Wings
The Red Wings are depleted with injuries. Zetterberg may come back, which would help tremendously, but not having Datsyuk, Franzen or Weiss on top of that really hurts this team. The Caps were on a 7 game slide in January, but they won a couple games before losing to Columbus last night. There is still every reason for the Capitals to be up for this game as their 6 consecutive post season appearance streak could be snapped this year.
Play: Capitals 2.30 (SportsInteraction)
