It’s a big night in the NHL with some big games with playoff implications. The Red Wings play a big game against the Habs, while the Devils are basically in must win territory as they host the Coyotes. We are getting down to the final two weeks of the NHL season, with a lot of things still up in the air.
Season Record-: 49-95 for -45.03 units.
New York Islanders @ Tampa Bay Lightning
The Islanders keep doing alright and putting up wins without Tavares. They’ve been good on the road all year with a 17-17-1 record. I like them to win this game over an overrated Lightning team. The odds are absolutely ridiculous so you have to take the Isles here.
Play: Islanders 3.10 (5Dimes)
Buffalo Sabres @ Nashville Predators
The Sabres are simply horrible. They have a 1-9-0 record over the last 10. They are just really bad. The Preds should win this game. I’m surprised that the Lightning are bigger favourites than the Preds in these two games. Nashville probably still has a little bit of hope for the playoffs, but they have to win every game from here on in. This one should keep their hope alive.
Play: Predators 1.50 (5Dimes)
Vancouver Canucks @ Colorado Avalanche
Everyone kind of wrote off the Canucks when they were shopping Kesler at the deadline. It seemed like the team had given up on making the playoffs this year. Well just wait a minute. Sedin is back from injury and this team has won 3 in a row and now sits just 4 points back of the Coyotes for the last Wild Card spot in the West. I think they may be starting to believe again. I like them to use this belief and beat the Avs tonight in Colorado. It is the second night in a row for the Canucks, but a win here will put them right in the thick of the Western playoff race so I expect a big game.
Play: Canucks 2.56 (5Dimes)
