NHL Predictions January 20

We’re coming off a 4 for 4 night on Tuesday and look to continue these winning ways tonight with two more plays.  It’s a busy night in the NHL, but it was hard to find many sharp lines because the bookmakers seemed to be spot on for the majority of games.

Anaheim Ducks @ Toronto Maple Leafs

The Ducks have been playing great hockey lately, winning their last two and 8 of their last 10.  They head into Toronto to play a Maple Leafs team that just came off a 7-0 thrashing at the hands of the New York Rangers.  This game could provide redemption for the Maple Leafs and a win could put that embarrassing loss behind them, but I expect Anaheim to be too much and the fatigue of back to back games to set in and the Ducks to pull out a close on.  Surprisingly the Ducks are the slight underdogs, but they should win this game more often than not.

Phoenix Coyotes @ Los Angeles Kings

The Coyotes have been a very streaky team this season and have lost their last two heading into LA.  That being said they’re 6-2-2 in their last 10, compared with the Kings who are 2-8-0.  Los Angeles is slowly watching their playoff hopes slip away and a loss tonight would put them even further out of contention.  Quick gets the nod in goal for the Kings, but he has lost 7 of his last 8 games and is not on top of his game like he was back before Christmas.  This should be a close game, but the Coyotes have just as good a chance to pull out the victory as the slumping Kings.
