Big night here with a lot of playoff implications. There are plenty of matinees today with 5 games being played with start times between 1pm and 4pm EST so it looks like a full hockey kind of day for those of you who aren’t into the big March Madness games going on today.
Tampa Bay Lightning @ Pittsburgh Penguins
The Lightning have been on first since getting rid of Martin St. Louis surprisingly. They’ve won 5 games in a row and have really cemented themselves as a playoff team in the East. The Pens are coming off a lost to the Red Wings in overtime and haven’t looked their best lately. The Lightning could jump on this and take another two points.
Play: Lightning 2.50 (5Dimes)
New York Rangers @ New Jersey Devils
Jagr said after the Devils last win that every game for them is like a game 7 if they hope to make the playoffs. This game against their rival Rangers is huge and New York is still fighting for a spot in the playoffs as well. This will be a fun one to watch and I think Jagr will pull the game out for the Devils and keep the hope alive in Jersey.

Calgary Flames @ Edmonton Oilers
The Western Conference bottom feeders from Alberta play tonight in what is always at least an entertaining match up. These two teams don’t like each other and even though this game is meaningless I expect big efforts from both sides. The Flames played last night in a shootout against the Preds and I think this will tip the favour in the Oilers direction for tonights game.
Play: Oilers 1.714 (5Dimes)
