Sports Picks & Predictions

4-Unit Play. No. 22. Take Winnipeg over Edmonton (Saturday at 7pm) Doc is on a solid 5-1-1 run for +$1625. As per your selection on Winnipeg, we believe they are in a great spot to extend their winning streak to three games as they come off an impressive win vs Toronto. NOw they return home to take on an Oilers team that has gone just 3-3 over their last sixg ames including a 5-0 loss last Saturday (their last game) to Calgary. The Oilers were supposed to play the Canucks last night, but that got postponed and so they travel to Winnipeg for a tilt with the Jets. We don't see the Oilers defense containing a Jets team that is scoring at will right now and we see the Jets goaltending advantage being the edge that gets them the two points.

4-Unit Play. No. 50. Take Tampa Bay over Florida (Thursday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Tampa Bay, this is a good bounce-back spot for them as they were thrashed on Tuesday by Nashville 7-2. In that game, the Lightning barely generated any chances and got some poor goaltending as they gave up 7 on 22 shots. A championship-caliber team knows that's unacceptable and they will be prepared to bounce back in a big way tonight as they take on an in-state rival. The Panthers are playing their fifth straight road game having lost three of the last four. The Panthers were lucky to come away with a win against Dallas, and we see this number being shaded down because of the result. Look for Tampa to come out and dominate this game from start to finish.

4-Unit Play. No.30. Take Dallas +100 over Florida (Tuesday at 8:30pm)

Great 5* winner last night with Chicago. We are on a 6-3 run for +1700 and we expect to keep the winning ways going tonight. NOTE** Be sure to grab Doc's 7* Soccer Play (3pm) as he's on a 3-0 run for +$1500. As per your selection on Dallas, we believe this is a great spot for them to grab back-to-back wins against a struggling Florida team right now. Dallas has won two of their last three games and defensively they've been solid as we've come to expect from this Stars team. We expect them to be able to contain this Florida team that's scored just three goals during their three-game losing streak. We've followed the Panthers enough to know how streaky they are as a team and when things are not going well, which they aren't right now, it usually lasts an extended period of time. Dallas has the goaltending edge and we see them grabbing another two points in this contest.

5-Unit Play. Take Chicago over Columbus (Monday at 7pm)

Great 7* winner last night on the ice as Washington destroyed Boston. Let's continue the momentum here today. Also, be sure to grab Doc's 7* Soccer as he's on a great run of form on the pitch! As per your selection on Chicago, we believe they are the better team and with a Columbus just finished trading their captain, you can all but stick a fork in them this season as they are way out of the playoff race and essentially have conceded the season. Chicago is just four points out of the fourth spot and needs this game in the worst way. They've just beaten Columbus on Saturday after falling behind 2-0 after three minutes of play. Look for a more focused effort from the Blackhawks as they grab another win against a poor Columbus team.

7-Unit Play. No. 85. Take Washington over Boston (Sunday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Washington, this is a great spot for them to pick up another win against a struggling Bruins team. Washington has won three of its last five games and one of those losses came against these very Bruins, so you know the Caps will want to exact some revenge in this contest. Washington is coming off a 4-3 win against Buffalo and will have had a day to rest up and get ready for this one. As for Boston, they are giving up a bunch of goals of late and are coming off a 3-2 loss to Philly just last night. I don't see how they can manage this quick turnaround especially against a CAps team that is among the best teams in the leagues in terms of offensive production. Look for Washington to dominate this game from start to finish.

4-Unit Play. No.62. Take St. Louis -105 over Minnesota (Saturday at 8pm)

As per your selection on the Blues, why not go back to the well with them here tonight as they come off a 9-1 win against Minnesota last night. The Blues were the far better team and they were hungrier for every single loose puck. They have been playing some solid hockey of late, and Minnesota has been giving up a to of goals in losing two of their last three games. It's typically tough for a team to beat a team twice in as many nights, but the Blues are the more complete team and they need to start making up some ground on the teams above them in the standings.

4-Unit Play. No.32. Take New York Islanders over New York Rangers (Friday at 7pm) As per your selection on the Islanders to win another game tonight, we believe they are the better and more complete team and will use their home-ice advantage to their benefit. The Islanders have won four straight games including last night against Philly. They have held their opponents to two or fewer goals in three of those wins and with the Rangers not faring too well offensively (games against non-philly teams), the Islanders should have no trouble limiting the Rangers here tonight.

4-Unit Play. No. 24. Take Buffalo over New Jersey (Thursday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Buffalo, I do believe this is a great spot for them to grab a third straight win and a second win in a row vs the Devils. The Sabres are not a very good team, there is no question about that, but in the last two games they've shown me some inspired hockey and that's enough for me to take them here tonight against a struggling Devils squad. Not to mention, the Devils just traded two of their best players, so the lineup is going to be thin and not very NHL-like. The problem with the Devils is that they can't keep the puck out of the back of the net and we see the Sabres capitalizing on that here tonight.

5-Unit Play. No. 09. Take Arizona over Los Angeles (Wednesday at 10pm)

As per your selection on Arizona, we have no issues backing them for the third time in four nights as they take on an LA team that is struggling right now. Arizona has played exceptional hockey of late, winning seven of their last nine games. They are getting scoring up and down the lineup and the goaltending is back to what we've grown to expect from a defensive minded team. The Kings have lost six of their last seven games and the scoring has dried up, scoring just four goals in their three game losing streak. Take Arizona tonight as they are the better team and we expect them to collect another two points.

7-Unit Play. No. 68. Take Chicago over Dallas (Tuesday at 8pm)

As per your selection on Chicago, sometimes when a team has another team's number, you just need to ride the wave. Chicago has beaten the Stars in three of four games so far this season and we see them adding to that total here on home ice. Chicago is off a loss in which they were shutout vs Nashville, but we know they have a much better offense than that, as they average nearly 2.75 goals per game, which is far better than what the Stars average. Chicago is also one of the least penalized teams in the league, and that will negate the Star's sixth-ranked power play in this one. Dallas has suffered defeat in four of their last six games and is simply not playing good hockey right now. This will be their fifth road game in eight days and we see fatigue setting in late in this one. Take Chicago at this great price and let's cash a big play tonight.

4-Unit Play. No. 37. Take Arizona over Anaheim (Sunday at 9pm) As per your selection on Arizona, we believe this is a great spot for them to grab another win against a bad Anaheim team. The Coyotes have been playing some good hockey of late, and if you exclude the 9-3 loss at the hands of Colorado on Mar 31, the Ducks have won four of their last five games. They are scoring goals and keeping the puck out of their net. The same can't be said for the Ducks. They are 3-9 in their last 11 games and simply can't stop anyone from scoring as they are 28th overall in goals allowed at over 3.29 per game. Arizona is the better team here and we'll play them at this price.

4-Unit Play. Take San Jose over Los Angeles (Saturday at 10pm)

We were on the wrong side yesterday and SJ really impressed me. We'll go with them here today as they seem to have the Kings number so far this season. This is a system play and we'll gladly take plus money on it.

3-Unit Play. Take Vegas over Minnesota (Saturday at 9pm)

As per your selection on Vegas, they lost to Minnesota 3-2 in a shootout last game and that extended their losing streak to a whopping two games. Vegas doesn't really lose more than a couple in a row very often, so we expect a focused group here tonight and we expect them to grab a win on home ice, where they've dominated all season long.

7-Unit Play. No.68. Take Los Angeles over San Jose (Friday at 10pm)

As per your selection on Los Angeles, we believe this is a great spot for them to pick up a win and extend their winning streak. The Kings have been playing some good hockey of late but have a double revenge spot here against a Sharks team that beat them in B2B games on March 22 and 24. The Kings are coming off a good win against Vegas and should be able to carry the momentum from that win into this game. The Sharks are not a very good road team as they rank below .500 on the road and their defensive play is questionable as they rank 28th in Goals allowed per game at 3.37 and they take the third most penalties in the league. LA should be able to capitalize on those two advantages and we expect to cash this ticket.

5-Unit Play. No. 56. Take Nashville +105 over Dallas (Thursday at 8pm)

As per your selection on Nashville, we are going to back them again for all the same reasons we did in the first game two nights ago. Nashville is playing great hockey at the moment and they are a solid home bet. Dallas is on a three-game losing streak and has fallen apart defensively of late. We expect Nashville to come out and grab another win against Dallas on home ice.

4-Unit Play. No.28. Take Nashville over Dallas (Tuesday at 8pm) As per your selection on Nashville, we believe this is a great spot for them to grab another win and push their winning streak to six games. The Preds are starting to play some great hockey and it's been buoyed by some excellent defense and goaltending. They've given up 2, 1, 1, and 0 goals over their last four games. Now they fave a Dallas team that isn't doing much offensively of late and that's lost two straight. Nashville is always a great bet at home and getting them at this price is a steal.

4-Unit Play. No.50. Take Chicago -115 over Nashville (Saturday at 8pm)

As per your selection on Chicago, we believe this is a great spot for them to extend their winning streak to three games as they come off two impressive wins over a good Florida team. Chicago also comes into this game with revenge having lost to the Preds back in January twice - once in a shootout and once in overtime. The Blackhawks have much better offensive numbers and we believe their offense will carry them to a win here tonight. As for Nashville, sure, they've won three straight bu two of those games were against a terrible Detroit team. This game will also be their 9th road game in 11 games with the 10th in 12 coming tomorrow night. This is a fatgiued team and we see them fading late in this one.

8 Unit Play. Take #308958 Richmond Spiders over Elon Phoenix (4p.m., Saturday, March 27 NBC Sports Washington) We have faded the Phoenix the last two weeks and easily won both games and now we look to complete the trifecta on Saturday. These two teams met two weeks ago in Elon and Richmond won that game 38-14. The selection just comes down to the fact the Phoenix are using their third or fourth string quarterback. Neither one is any good and expect the Spiders to stock the box and force them to beat them through the air, something they have not been capable of doing in 2021. Elon is getting beat up and they are 1-4 on the season with 3 of those losses coming by at least 21 points. Richmond will dominate this game for 60 minutes and win by 20+ points.

4-Unit Play. Take New York Rangers -115 over Philadelphia (Thursday at 7pm)

As per your selection on the Rangers, this is a great spot for them to get another win against a Flyers team that is a mess right now. The Rangers have won two straight and are coming off two days of rest so they should be ready to play in this one. The Flyers have lost three straight and the defense is kind of M.I.A, and we think the Rangers offensive momentum can carry them to a victory in this one.

4-Unit Play. No. 58. Take Philadelphia -160 over New Jersey (Tuesday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Philadelphia, this is a very important game for the Flyers as they come in off two losses and need to stop the bleeding before they fall to far out of the playoff race. The Flyers are the better team here and we believe the offense will be too much for the Devils to overcome. The Devils are just 6-24 in their last 30 Tuesday games and 3-11 in their last 14 as an underdog. The Flyers are 5-1 in their last 6 on Tuesday and 5-1 in their last six against the Devils.

4-Unit Play. Take Vegas -140 over St.Louis (Monday at 10pm)

As per your selection on Vegas, they are the better team in this matchup and come into this game off a loss and having their five game winning streak snapped. That loss should be enough motivation for them to get back in the win column against a Blues team they beat twice 10 days ago.

2-Unit Play. No.24. Take Anaheim +110 over Arizona (Saturday at 8pm)

We are doing things a little differently on Saturday. Each one of these plays is a system play we love where the teams are historically in a position of success. Let's try and cash all four of these plays and have a big Saturday on the frozen pond.

4-Unit Play. No.68. Take Toronto -160 over Calgary (Friday at 7pm)

As per your selection on the Leafs, we believe this is a great spot for them to come forth with a big performance and grab a much-needed win. The Leafs have played brutal over the last handful of games and with four rest days in between this game and their loss on Sunday, the team will be rested, and practice time will have helped their cause to fix some issues. The Flames' new coach bubble burst on Wednesday with a 7-3 loss to Edmonton. We don't expect them to bounce-back from that one, especially against a Leafs team that is far more talented than them. Take the Leafs here for a big win.

4-Unit Play. No.62. Take Colorado over Minnesota (Thursday at 9pm) As per your selection on Colorado, we believe this is a great spot for them to extend their winning streak to five games while at the same time end the wild current five-game winning streak. The Avs are finally fully healthy and they are among the best teams in the league in getting pucks on goal and scoring on their chances. defensively, the Avs are also no slouch as they rank inside the top 5 in goals against, shots alow and penalty kill percentage. They come off a game where they scored 8 goals and we see that momentum carrying over into tonight's game against the Wild.

7-Unit Play. No. 25. Take New York Islanders over Washington (Tuesday at 7pm)

As per your selection on the Islanders, we think this is a great spot for them to extend their winning streak to 10 games. The Islanders come into this game rest and during their 9 game winning streak, they have given up 0,1,2,2,2,1,3,2 and 2 goals against. They are living up to the billing of one of the best defensive teams in the league and the offense has just enough talent to score the timely goals. They have a little bit of revenge in this spot as well as the Caps beat them in B2B games back in January, and I don't think the isles forgot about those games. Washington has won five straight but they give up a boatload of goals. Three of those wins they've allowed 4, 3, and 4 goals. I don't believe they will outscore their defensive problems here against a stingy Islanders team.

5-Unit Play. No. 16. Take Calgary over Edmonton (Monday at 9pm).

As per your selection on Calgary, i believe they are in a great spot to extend their winning streak to three games. The team has been playing well since Sutter has come back to coach and they are fighting for every loose puck and fighting to earn their ice time. With their last two wins over the Habs, they've put themselves back in a position to fight for the playoffs and we see that motivation shining through here today. Edmonton has been a Jekyll and Hyde type team and they just had their four-game winning streak snapped against Vancouver but three of those wins came against the terrible Sens. The Flames have revenge in this one as well as they lost last time out 3-2 to Edmonton. Take Calgary here tonight

6-Unit Play. No. 49. Take Vegas -110 over St. Louis (Saturday at 8pm)

As per your selection on Vegas, this is a good spot for them to come away with another win vs St. Louis. They won 5-4 in overtime last night and the score was much closer than the game actually was. Vegas outshot the Blues 40-23 and had many more scoring chances than them. The Blues converted on 2 of three powerplays which kept them in the game. We don't see that happening tonight and we see Vegas skating out to a much easier win. Remember this is a Vegas team that ranks third in goals allowed per game and fourth in shots on goal allowed and sixth in penalty kill. Look for them to get back to that shut-down defensive style tonight and grab two points.

4-Unit Play. No.18. Take Dallas -145 over Chicago (Thursday at 8:30pm)

As per your selection on Dallas, we've seen them come around and play some good hockey of late so we have no issues going to them in this one after we faded them in the first game against Chicago. Dallas' defensive efforts was far too much for Chicago to overcome and we like Dallas to grab another win here tonight. Dallas is in revenge mode after losing two straight to the Blackhawks earlier in the season, so they'll be eager to repay the favor here and get the sweep.

4-Unit Play. No.78. Take Vancouver over Montreal (Wednesday at 10pm) Montreal is not a very good team and I enjoy fading them whenever I can. This is another good spot for Vancouver as an underdog. They've won three straight and have played good hockey in that span. They come in extremely undervalued here and that's because some people still think MTL is a good team which they are most certainly not. The Habs have lost six of their last 8 games and we see that being seven of nine after tonight.

3-Unit Play. Take Chicago over Dallas (Tuesday at 8:30pm)

Another system play we love. Chicago is 5-2 in the last seven meetings vs Dallas and the underdog is 6-2 in the last eight contests in this H2H series. Chicago is also 6-1 vs a team with a losing record and 5-0 after allowing five or more goals. Dallas is 3-13 in their last 16 vs the Central, 1-5 in their last six in the fourth games of a four-in-six situation, and 1-5 as favorites.

3-Unit Play. Take Washington over New Jersey (Tuesday at 7pm)

This is a lot of juice, but it's a system play that we absolutely love. The Capitals are the better team and they are 21-5 over the last 26 meetings vs New Jersey and 7-1 in the last 9 when playing at home. The Caps are also 37-17-7 in their last 55 games coming off a road trip of 7+ days. New Jersey is 1-6 in their last six games as an underdog and 5-23 in their last 28 Tuesday games.

3-Unit Play. No.48. Take Vancouver over Montreal (Monday at 10pm)

As per your selection on Vancouver, we believe this is a great spot for them to grab their second win in a row against an overvalued Habs team. The Canucks played well against the Leafs on Saturday and we see that translating well here. The Habs are still a play against team for me until they show some consistency. This is a great price for Vancouver who is in a double revenge spot.

3-unit play. Take Philadelphia over Washington (Sunday at 7 pm)

As per your selection on Philadelphia, we think this is a great spot for them to bounce back and catch a win. The Flyers are a much better home team than they are on the road and with Washington playing it's fifth and final road game, we see fatigue playing a factor and Washington not playing well. They also come off two emotional games against the Bruins, so the letdown spot is prime. The Flyers are a good team and we see them defending home ice here tonight

4-Unit Play. Take Winnipeg +125 over Montreal (Saturday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Winnipeg, we've cashed three times with them against Montreal and we see a fourth win on the horizon. I don't know what more can be said about the Habs and the disarray they are in right now. The Jets are playing good hockey while Montreal isn't. Let's cash another ticket tonight with the Jets

4-Unit Play. No.66 Take Arizona +120 over Minnesota (Friday at 9pm)

As per your selection on Arizona, we believe this is a great spot for them to grab a second consecutive win. They come off a good 3-2 win over the kings and now battle a Minnesota team that has lost two straight and that is two points ahead of them for the fourth and final playoff spot. We believe Arizona is a more complete team and at this price, we can't pass up the spot.

4-Unit Play. No. 27. Take Winnipeg +125 over Montreal (Thursday at 7pm)

I don't care who the coach is for the Habs or that the goalie coach got fired mid-game last game. The Habs are a disaster right now and shouldn't be this much of a favorite against anyone, let alone a high octane Jets team. Look, you can write all the narratives of a double revenge game, bla bla bla, but you could have said that about the Oilers last night, and they still got blown out. The Jets are a good hockey team. They can score goals with the best of them and against a Habs team that is in disarray, we see them having no issues tonight. The Jets answered the callout by their head coach on Tuesday with a big 5-2 win. We see the momentum carrying over into this one and the Jets skating away with another win vs Montreal.

6-Unit Play. No.13. Take Toronto over Edmonton (Wednesday at 8pm) As per your selection on Toronto, they seem to just have Edmonton's number and we see a three-game sweep as a very high possibility. Even without the services of Austin Matthew's, the Leafs' depth has stepped up in a big way and the Leafs are starting to see a glimpse of what Nylander can do. They are also playing excellent defensive hockey and rank fourth in the league in goals-against per game. The Oilers can't get anything going offensively and the goaltending is terrible. Good price on Toronto here as they look for their fourth straight win.

4-Unit Play. Take New York Rangers over Buffalo (Tuesday at 7pm)

As per your selection on the Rangers to get the better of the Sabres, we feel the Rangers are a more complete team and we think they are in a good spot to bounce back after losing to Boston in their last game. The Rangers split that two-game series and should build off some of the good things we saw. The Sabres are a mess right now and have been shut out in two straight games. They've also lost four of their last five and we don't see a trip to NY solving their issues.

6-Unit Play. No.76. Take Winnipeg over Vancouver (Monday at 8pm) As per your selection on Winnipeg to get the better of Vancouver, the Jets are simply the better team and they handled the Canucks in their last two meetings in Vancouver and we see a similar result with the Jets being on home ice tonight. The Jets have won four straight and five of their last six games and are among the best teams in goals per game and goals against per game. The Canucks are a disaster right now and there appears to be no righting the ship any time soon. They've dropped four straight and have been shut out in two of those contests. Look for Winnipeg to dictate this game and come away with another two points.

7-Unit Play. No. 87. Take Washington over New Jersey (Sunday at 3pm)

As per your selection on Washington to get the better of NJ once again, the Capitals are simply the better team and we are getting them at a discounted price today because Craig Anderson is expected to be between the pipes for them today. Even so, the Capitals are still the third highest-scoring team in the league and we believe that can bail them out here if the going gets tough. We don't see that happening though, as the Devils have lost five straight games and are a complete disaster. They have a putrid offense, and a very week defense that allows 32.4 shots per game (29th) and they have the worst penalty kill in the league, killing off just 60 percent. The Caps offensive guys should go to town on this Devils team and push their winning streak to three games.

5-Unit Play. No. 54. Take Winnipeg +115 over Montreal (Saturday at 10pm)

As per your selection on Winnipeg, we cashed with them over MTL on Thursday as they beat the Habs 6-3. They are simply too fast and too skilled for the Habs and that showed up in a big way in that game. Many people were on the Habs because of the coaching change, but the Habs are simply playing bad hockey right now and are confused and are just not getting good goaltending. It's going to take some time for them to regroup and implement new systems and find the confidence they had at the beginning of the year. They've lost four on the trot while Winnipeg has won three and we see them keeping that run going today.

4-Unit Play. No.23/24. Take Over in Boston/New York (Friday at 7pm) Great underdog winner last night with the Jets. Let's keep the momentum rolling. as per your selection on the over in this matchup, both teams come in off losses and we expect them to be eager to get back in the win column. Both teams have combined to go over the number in six of their last eight games and we see another open affair with plenty of chances and goals.

4-Unit Play. Take Winnipeg over Montreal (Thursday at 8pm) As per your selection on Winnipeg, I do not care for the Canadiens enough to believe a new coach is the answer to their problems. They are getting outplayed and they are not getting good enough goaltending from Carey Price. They are a mess right now and a trip to Winnipeg to take on a fast Jets team is not the answer. The Jets have won two straight and have been off since Sunday resting. I see them coming out firing on Thursday and extending their winning streak to three games. They are the better all-around team and the team that is in better form.

3-Unit Play. No. 68. Take St. Louis over Los Angeles (Wednesday at 9:30)

As per your selection on St. Louis, we believe this is a great bounce-back spot for them as they were shutout in their last game vs LA. Despite LA having won five straight games, we think this is the perfect game for their bubble to burst as they are in the middle f a lengthy road trip and they have to travel to Minnesota after this contest. The Kings are doing it with smoke and mirrors as they aren't a very good offensive team, and are just OK defensively. Look for St. Louis to come out pissed off and take it to the Kings right from the opening puck drop.

3-Unit Play. No.59 Take Edmonton over Vancouver (Tuesday at 10pm)

As per your selection on Edmonton, they are playing some great hockey right now and it would be tough to go against them. McDavid and Draisaitl are on a tear right now and have propelled the Oilers to three straight wins and we believe it will be four after tonight. The Oilers have split a pair with the Canucks so far this season but have rounded out to be the better of the two sides. Vancouver comes into this one loser of two straight and nine of their last 11. They can't keep the puck out of the back of their net and we see reasons why Edmonton can't hang another big number on them.

7-Unit Play. NO. 75/76. Take Over in Dallas vs Florida (Monday at 7pm) As per your selection on the over in this game between the Panthers and Stars, this sets up well for a high scoring game as you have a Dallas team that is coming off a lengthy layoff and will be fresh and eager to get on the ice and going in the right direction as they are on a five-game losing streak. The Stars have solid possession numbers and are second in the NHL in creating scoring chances. If they can get the special teams going, they can get on a roll here. As for Florida, you know what we are going to get with them. They are the fifth highest-scoring team in the NHL and second in shots on goal per game and have the sixth-best powerplay. their downfall is their 17th ranked GAA, 21st ranked SOG allowed and 17th ranked PK. The Panthers play some wild games and after getting bogged down by the Red Wings in a 2-1 loss on Saturday, we expect them to come out seeking blood. Great spot for the over in this matchup.

4-Unit Play. No. 89. Take Tampa Bay -130 over Carolina (Saturday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Tampa, this is a great spot for them to bounce back after falling to the Panthers in their latest game. They haven't played since Monday and are one of the defensive teams in the league. The Hurricanes played last night and this will be their third game in four nights and with fatigue set to creep in, the Lightning are the last team you'd want to play without any rest. Take Tampa.

4-Unit Play. No. 12. Take Columbus -130 over Nashville (Saturday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Columbus, we were on them the other night when they shut out Nashville 3-0. We have no issues going back to the well with them here as they are a great home team, and the Preds are atrocious on the road. It wouldn't shock me to see the Jackets keep Nashville to 0 or 1 goals, and Columbus does enough to get the win again.

4-Unit Play. No. 10. Take Washington -150 over New York Rangers (Saturday at 12;30pm)

As per your selection on Washington, they come into this game winners of two straight and we like them to make it three in a row against a bad Rangers squad who will likely be without a couple of key guys tonight. Washington is the more complete team and they are averaging 3.47 goals per game with is T5, while the Rangers are all the way down in 26th at 2.33. Washington's offensive skill should be enough to get them another win.

4-Unit Play. No. 69. Take Edmonton over Calgary (Friday at 9pm) As per your selection on Edmonton, we believe this is a great spot for them to grab a win and continue their solid run of form. The Oilers have won four of their last five games and seven of their last nine with one of those losses coming against these very Flames. Edmonton let that game slip away as they had a 2-1 lead after the first and it was 3-3 a minute 1:18 into the third period before Calgary scored a couple of quick goals. This is a good revenge spot for them against a Flames team that just does not seem to have "it" this year. They are a very lackadaisical team and barring the Oilers laying an egg here, we see the Oilers as a better team and a more complete team, and we see the Oilers grabbing another two points.

3-Unit Play. No. 54. Take Columbus over Nashville (Thursday at 7pm) As per your selection on Columbus, this is a great spot for the team to respond in a positive way after getting thrashed 7-3 by Carolina. In that game, they were actually up 3-2 after the first but couldn't muster anything else for the last 40 minutes. They outshot the Canes and outplayed them for the most part - terrible goaltending was the issue. We expect a bounce-back game tonight on home ice against a Nashville team that is terrible on the road and that has lost four of its last five games. The Jackets have the better roster and will have the goaltending advantage tonight with Merzlikins in net against Saros. Take Columbus as we cash this hockey ticket.

4-Unit Play. No. 44. Take Calgary over Vancouver (Wednesday at 10pm) As per your selection on Calgary, this will be the fourth straight meeting between the two sides and Calgary holds a 2-1 lead courtesy a 4-3 OT win two nights ago. The Flames are the better team all around and with this game coming at home in Calgary, we expect them to come out and dictate the game and earn their second straight win and fifth in six games. Vancouver has taken a bit of a nosedive after a hot start and it's the defensive issues that plague them. Calgary has a ton of firepower up front and we expect that to be the difference here tonight

4-Unit Play. No.21. Take Anaheim -115  over San Jose (Monday at 10:30pm)

As per your selection on Anaheim, they are playing some good hockey of late, and marked off their last game with a 1-0 win over a very good Vegas team. They come into this game against SJ well-rested, as they haven't played since Feb 11 and should be ready to bring it to a Sharks team that is depleted and just not playing good hockey right now. The Sharks have dropped two straight including a 6-2 loss to the Kings and a 3-1 loss to Vegas. They've also been playing every other night since Feb 9, so we see fatigue possibly creeping into their game. Anaheim will definitely have the goaltending advantage in net with Gibson over Jones, so we'll take the Ducks to make it two straight wins.

4-Unit Play. No. 77. Take Calgary -130 over Vancouver (Saturday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Calgary, they are the better team. Plain and simple. The Canucks have fallen off the cliff, going 0-6 and being outscored by a million. The Flames have won three straight and are starting to put it all together. This is a short price and we are all over it.

4-Unit Play. No. 70. Take Toronto -130 over Montreal. (Saturday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Toronto, they don't always play well but they've found ways to get wins and that's all that matters. Their last two games have been well below their standards despite the wins, so with some time to rest and get some practice in, we see them coming out refreshed and with a solid 60-minute performance. The Habs essentially blew their load against the Leafs in their last game and still lost, and then followed up the next day by getting shutout against Edmonton. The Habs are drained and we see them getting blown out in this one.

4-Unit Play. No. 44. Take Chicago over Columbus (Thursday at 8pm)

As per your selection on Chicago, we want to continue to ride the Blackhawks momentum as they've won three straight and have played some excellent defensive hockey in the process. The Hawks have held their opponents to just five total goals in those three games including back to back 1 goal games. The Hawks now take on a Columbus team that's been inconsistent so far this season alternating wins and losses over their last five games. The Jackets always seem to have off-ice issues with Tortorella behind the bench and we see the latest distraction coming back to bite them in the ass. Chicago is a team in good form and we'll take them. here as the home favorite.

3-Unit Play. No. 68. Take New York Rangers -115 over New York Islanders (Monday at 7pm)

As per your selection on the Rangers to beat the Islanders, I think the Rangers are starting to figure some things out from a defensive standpoint as they held the Pens and Caps to just 1 and 2 goals respectively. The goaltending is starting to show up in key spots and the scoring is getting better up and down the lineup. They roll in here on a two gme winning streak and have beaten the Isles already 5-0 this season. The Islanders are a team that just doesn't score many goals as they rank 29th in the league in goals per game. This is a game where the skill of the Rangers should dominate and the Rangers should notch their third win in a row.

3-Unit Play. No.50. Take Calgary -120 over Edmonton (Saturday at 10pm)

As per your selection on Calgary to get the win over Edmonton, the Flames are mired in a 2-game losing streak, but now they return home where they are solid and should be able to ramp up the urgency and intensity against their in province rival. The Oilers have won three straight but two of those games have come against the lowly Sens. This is a step up in class for the Oilers and remember, they are a terrible defensive team, so with the Flames likely throwing everything they got to grab a win, we see the Oilers failing to defend well. Calgary wins this game and the price is perfect.

4-Unit Play. Take Over in Nashville/Florida (Friday at 7pm) Look, this game flew way over the number yesterday as Nashville completed a 6-5 comeback with two goals late in the third period to force OT before winning it outright. These two teams played a very wide-open affair and I see tonight being no different. The Panthers are not going to wow you defensively and the Preds have momentum from yesterday and should be good for another three tonight. The Panthers are still the only team that's unbeaten in regulation and are still averaging nearly four goals per game. We got back up tendies in net for both squads tonight I believe, so this game ends at least with six goals.

5-Unit Play. No.13. Take Dallas -115 over Columbus (Thursday at 7pm) As per your selection on Dallas, we were on them two nights ago when they beat Columbus 6-3 and we are going back to the well with them here today. They are the better offensive team and the much better defensive team and even with Columbus getting Laine in the lineup, we don't see that making much of a difference here tonight. The Stars are just a few months removed from competing in the Cup Finals and with a roster that's intact and just one year more experienced, this team is poised for another good run. Dallas is the better team and we'll take them at this short price again.

5-Unit Play. No. 02. Take Florida -115 over Nashville (Thursday at 7pm) As per your selection on Florida, they are 5-0-1 on the season and are winners of two straight. Any time we can fade Nashville on the road we are going to do it as they are simply not a good team away from home. Floriday is playing some great hockey right now and they rank T5 in goals per game with 3.5, while Nashville has trouble coring, ranking 28th with 2.33. Defensively, the Panthers are stout as well. They give up 2.5 goals per game, which is 7th best while Nashville gives up 3.22 which is 24th and the Preds have the worst-ranked PK in the league and take the fourth-most penalties per game. Florida wins this game with their offense.

4-Unit Play. No.47. Take Pittsburgh over New York (Monday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Pittsburgh, we believe this is a good spot for them to pick up another win against a Rangers side that is just a mess right now. They had the Pens on the rope two nights ago but fell apart late and lost in OT. After that, it's said that a few teammates got into a scuffle in the locker room which led to the release of one of their players. This Rangers team is one that many had high hopes for this season but they've been brutal so far. Now they are distracted and have to take on a Pens team that has won five of their last seven games and have the top best players on the ice wearing their shirts in Crosby and Malkin. Look for the Penguins to step on the Rangers throats in this one and add more misery on Broadway.

4-Unit Play. No. 33. Take Columbus -140 over Chicago (Sunday at 7pm)

Apologies for yesterday's 8* dud on Winnipeg. They simply no-showed which is shocking considering they had four days off prior to the game. I will get it back for you. As per your selection on Columbus, we had the Blue Jackets on Friday night when they beat Chicago 2-1. We have no problem going back to the well with the Jackets who are riding a two-game winning streak. The Jackets are sound defensively and with the Blackhawks roster undergoing issues with covid and injuries, we see defense holding suit in this one. Not for Chicago though as they allow 3.22 goals per game which is 23rd out of 31 and 33.6 shots on goal which is 30th overall. The Jackets also have the goaltending advantage with Merzlikins between the pipes against Lankinen. Look for the JAckets to come out and dominate this game and grab another two points.

10-Unit Play. No. 24. Take Winnipeg over Vancouver (Saturday at 10pm).

As per your selection on Winnipeg, this is the perfect spot for them to come out and extend their winning streak to two games. The Jets come into this game winner of four of their last five games and in doing so have looked the part of the offensively gifted team they are supposed to be. They've scored 23 goals during that span and we don't see them having any issues scoring tonight against this Vancouver side. Look, don't get me wrong, what Vancouver did to Ottawa over their last three games was solid. They outscored the Sens 16-3 and won all three games. But the Sens SUCK. Even Winnipeg swept their three-game series against the Sens (two of them being in Ottawa). The Canucks are a good team, but this is a terrible spot for them. This game will be their fourth game in six nights and their seventh game in eleven nights. That'll catch up to them in this spot against a Jets team that is rested and has talked a lot about how they are making the most of their practice time during this stretch. The Jets will win this game.

7-Unit Play. No.61 Take Columbus -125 over Chicago (Friday at 8 pm).

As per your selection on Columbus to grab the win against Chicago, I don't mind them playing B2B nights this early in the season as guys are typically fresher at the beginning of the year. Not to mention, they grabbed six of a possible eight points during a four-game home game and now make the short trip to Chicago to play a Blackhawks squad that isn't very good. Columbus will definitely have the edge in net as the Blackhawks are expected to start Subban between the pipes. Columbus is a good defensive team and the Blackhawks give up far too many goals to stay competitive in games that are close checking and limited chances. The Hawks roster is still depleted as they are missing several key guys and we just believe Columbus is the more complete team and Torts will have his team ready to grab their second win in a row.

6-Unit Play. No.60. Take Vancouver over Ottawa (Thursday at 10pm) How do you not go against Ottawa again? Vancouver has dominated them in the first two meetings of this three-game set. They've outscored the Sens 12-2 and it just hasn't even been close. I understand it's tough to beat the same team over and over again, but until the Sens show me any signs of improvement or life, i'll be fading them as much as possible.

2-Unit Play. No.50. Take Dallas over Detroit (Thursday at 8pm). As per your selection on Dallas, they are the better team and I think they got a bit of a wake-up call in their first game against the Wings, which ended in a 2-1 Stars overtime win. The Red Wings have a brutal roster and through three games the Stars have given up just two goals. We see Dallas dominating this game much like they should and improving to 4-0 on the year.

4-Unit Play. No.33. Take Philadelphia over New Jersey (Thursday at 7pm) As per your selection on the Flyers, they come off a good 5-3 win over these very Devils and we see a similar result happening tonight. The Flyers are the better team on paper and they desperately need to get their NO.1 goalie, Carter Hart a win. He's lost his last three starts and hasn't looked good in the process. Against a Devils team that isn't as gifted offensively, I expect the Flyers to shut the door, limit the chances and have a good defensive game in front of Hart. Flyers win this game for their goalie.

3-Unit Play. No.32. Take Vancouver over Ottawa (Wednesday at 8pm) As per your selection on Vancouver, we were on them two nights ago when they thrashed Ottawa 7-1. We are doubling down on them tonight as they are the better team and simply can't afford to lose to the Senators if they want to keep pace in the North division. The Canucks looked great on Monday and we see a similar result happening tonight, especially with the goaltending edge going in favor of Vancouver.

5-Unit Play. No. 66. Take Vancouver over Ottawa (Monday at 10pm) As per your selection on Vancouver, we need to roll with the better team here and the one that's more desperate. Look, prior to the season starting, everyone was already down on Ottawa thinking they were going to finish last in the North division. They've lost four straight and that's looking like it's coming to fruition. The Canucks - well they were pegged to make the playoffs this year with a solid group of players. So far the results have been underwhelming and they've lost two straight games coming into this one. For some reason, they couldn't quite figure the Habs out, but I believe they'll have an easier time dealing with the Senators. The team spoke in length about how important it was to get a practice in yesterday for the first time in a week, so I expect adjustments to be made and the team to start building some positive momentum moving forward. Vancouver has the edge in net and up and down the lineup, so we'll back them at this price.

6-Unit Play. No. 42. Take Winnipeg -135 over Ottawa (Saturday at 10pm).

As per your selection on Winnipeg, we just cashed a ticket with them the other night as they beat the Sens 4-1. We see a very similar result in tonight's game as Winnipeg is the better of the two teams by far and has more offensive firepower to overwhelm the Senators with. We are getting Hellebuyck in net for the Jets tonight and that instantly gives them the advantage at the backend. The Sens have lost three straight games and we don't see a trip to Winnipeg getting them in the win column. The Sens are a brutal 11-40 in their last 51 as a road underdog while the Jets are 7-0 in their last 7 as a favorite.

5-Unit Play. No. 24. Take Chicago over Detroit (Friday at 8pm) As per your selection on Chicago, sooner or later they are going to have to win a game and we see this as the perfect spot. The Wings don't have any firepower upfront that will trouble the Blackhawks and maybe the Blackhawks can allow fewer than five goals for the first time this season (pathetic I know). The Wings are going to be a bottom feeder team this year despite their early 2-2 record. it's important to note that those four games came at home and this will be their first road game of the season. Give me Chicago at this price.

5-Unit Play. No. 20. Take Toronto over Edmonton (Friday at 7pm) As per your selection on the Leafs, they lost a low-scoring game against the Oilers two nights ago but were undone by some unlucky bounces. They played well for the majority of the game and with the rematch coming so soon, we'll take the Leafs to get the job done on home ice. Remember, we all expected a high-scoring meeting and we got a total of four goals. Look for the teams to open up a bit here tonight and for the Leafs to take advantage of some shoddy Oilers goaltending.

4-Unit Play. No. 01. Take Winnipeg over Ottawa (Thursday at 7pm) As per your selection on Winnipeg, they are the better team. They were outplayed greatly in their last game against the Sens (on Tuesday) but still found a way to win 4-3. They will not take this team lightly and with a day to rest in between and not playing on B2B nights with travel, the Jets will be fresh and they'll be eager to come away with an easier two points. We feel as if Ottawa played their best game in that contest and still lost, so we see a bit of a flat spot for them here tonight.

3-Unit Play. No. 80. Take St. Louis -180 over San Jose (Wednesday at 9:05pm)

As per your selection on St. Louis, we were on them the other night when they beat the Sharks 5-4. We see a similar result happening tonight as the Blues pick up another two points. What we do see that will be different is the Blues defensive game. We figure them to have a great bounce-back game defensively as they were one of the best teams in terms of GAA last year and we see them limiting the Sharks to one or fewer goals today. The Blues are the better team and we'll lay the juice in this spot tonight.

6-Unit Play. No. 62. Take New York Rangers over New Jersey Devils (Tuesday at 7pm)

Great 3-0 Monday on the ice as we hit for +$945. Let's continue the great run and add to our season total of +$1,175. As per your selection on the Rangers, they are the better team in this contest and they broke out in a big way in their last game against the Islanders. The Rangers won that game 5-0 and what we like even more is the fact that they outplayed the Islanders for the full 60 minutes. That's a momentum-building win and we expect them to carry that into this contest. Another thing we like is that the Rangers are going right back to Georgiev in net for this contest as he comes off the shutout. I expect another big performance from the offense and I believe first overall draft pick Alexis Lafreniere finds the back of the net in this one. The Home team is 14-5 in the last 19 meetings and the Rangers are 4-1 in the last five vs the Devils at home.

3-Unit Play. No.56. Take Anaheim +115 over Minnesota (Monday at 9 pm)

As per your selection on Anaheim, they have a little bit to build off from their last game as they took Vegas to OT and secured a point. They played much better that game than they did in the first meeting with Vegas, so we see them coming home and performing well. As for the Wild, they beat the Kings twice including a 3-1 comeback in the second game. We see a little bit of a flat spot here for them against a team they may very well take lightly. The Ducks are 17-8 against the Wild in the last 25 meetings.

3-Unit Play. No. 54. Take Calgary -145 over Vancouver (Monday at 9 pm)

As per your selection on Calgary, we had a feeling Markstrom would come out focused wanting to beat his old club. The Flames won that contest 3-0 and we expect more of the same in this game. The Flames are the better defensive team and we just don't trust Holtby in net for Vancouver. Calgary has won 12 of the last 16 games when hosting Vancouver and are 8-2 in their last 10 games as a favorite.

3-Unit Play. No.48. Take St.Louis -180 over San Jose (Monday at 8 pm)

As per your selection on St. Louis, this will be their home opener after splitting a pair against Colorado. The Blues lost the second game 8-0 and we expect a major bounce-back performance from them here today. On paper, the Blues are a much better and more complete team than the Sharks and we see them dominating this game. The Sharks split two games in the desert against Arizona but were lucky to grab a win in the first game. The Sharks are 3-9 in their last 12 while playing on 1 days rest, 1-6 in their last 7 road games. And 1-5 in their last 6 trips to St. Louis.

4-Unit Play. Take #026. Take Nashville -120 over Columbus

Until I see Columbus overcome some of the off-ice issues, I will be fading them. The Jackets managed just one goal against Nashville in the opener and we see more of the same result here. Nashville is going to be an extremely difficult team to play against and at home, we believe they are the better side and will get their second win of the season.

7-Unit Play. #018. Take Edmonton -110 over Montreal (Saturday at 7pm)

Great 5* winner last night with Philly as they easily took care of Pittsburgh. Let's make it B2B winners tonight! As per your selection on Edmonton to get the job done, we liked their bounce-back response in their last game, beating the Canucks 5-2. McDavid notched a hattrick while Draisitle leads the league in points already. These two are going to be a force this season and we see them being too much for a Canadiens team that isn't a speedy time by any means. The Canadians blew a 3-1 lead to the Leafs in their opener and now travel across the country for their second road game of the season. This is a tough spot for the Habs and despite probably starting Carey Price, I believe the Oilers have too much firepower upfront for the Habs to keep up with.

5-Unit Play. Take Philadelphia -110 over Pittsburgh (Friday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Philadelphia, they just beat Pittsburgh 6-3 in the season-opening game, and we like them to replicate that result here today. The Flyers looked quicker, stronger, and the hungrier of the two squads and we see that being the case once again tonight. Pittsburgh's defensive struggles from last season carried over into Game 1 of this new year and with a questionable No.1 goalie in net in Jarry, it feels like they are going to be in the lower half of the league in goals-against average. The Flyers should be able to dictate this game once again and grab a second consecutive win over their in-state rivals.

6-Unit Play. #44. Take Toronto (-135) over Montreal (Wednesday at 7:05pm).

As per your selection on Toronto, we believe they are the better team and we believe it's more critical to them to get off to a winning start to the season. The Leafs finished last year with a majorly disappointing loss to Columbus in the play-in rounds. That has been stewing with the team for the entirety of the shortened offseason, and the Leafs went out and addressed some of their needs to fill out the roster. They've added some depth, some grit, and some back end help with TJ Brodie. Not to mention, the Leafs superstars and point producers are healthy to start the season and we see no reason why they can't come flying out of the gates. The Habs are still going to be a team that relies on Carey Price in net to steal them games and we don't see that plan taking them very far this season. The Leafs have pressure on them to perform well and we'll trust them to grab a season-opening win on their home ice.

4-Unit Play. Take Tampa over Dallas (Friday at 8 pm).

We'll say it louder for the people in the back who may not have heard us the first three times.. Tampa is a better team. The deeper team. The better defensive team and the better offensive team. We saw them skate circles around Dallas in Game 3 and we expect more of the same for Game 4. Tampa knows how close they are to winning the Cup and we don't see them letting their foot off the gas pedal.

5-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over Dallas (Wednesday at 8pm).

It's a little redundant to write the same things each time we take tampa in this series but let me reiterate. Tampa is the better team. The deeper team. The better defensive team. The team with the better offense. Game 1 they were tired from flying across the country and in Game 2 they showed flashes of the team they can be. Game 3, we expect Tampa to dominate from the onset and get the win and go up 2-1 in the series.

4-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over Dallas (Monday at 8pm) We have to take a shot again with the Lightning who came out a bit flat with their Game 1 efforts against the Stars. We don't see that being the case in Game 2 as the Lightning know this is essentially a must-win game as teams that go down 0-2 in the Cup Finals are just 5-45 all time to end up winning the Cup. That's not the odds Tampa wants to face so we expect them to put forth a much better effort in this one. Dallas, for what it's worth, has played well throughout the playoffs, but the random scoring from guys nobody's heard of is eventually going to dry up. We'll bank on the Lightning's best players shining through today.

4-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over New York (Tuesday at 8pm) As per your selection on Tampa, we got it all wrong in Game 4 as Tampa easily skated out to a 4-1 victory. We expect much of the same in Game 5, as we saw the Isles will broken by the Lightning in that last game and Tampa will know how vital it is to finish the series here and grab just as much rest heading into the finals as the Stars will have since they won last night. Tampa has been kind to us this postseason, so let's roll with them to get the job done tonight.

4-Unit Play. Take Dallas over Vegas (Monday at 8pm)

As per your selection on Dallas, we believe they are a team destined to make the finals as they have been playing some great team hockey over the entire series and we just believe that Vegas simply can't find a way past Khudobin in net who has been nothing short of outstanding this series. Let's roll with Dallas tonight as they close the series and advance to the Finals.

4-Unit Play. Take New York Islanders +125 over Tampa Bay (Sunday at 3pm).

As per your selection n NYI, similar to when we backed Dallas last night, we believe NYI can use the momentum it's gained in the Game 3 win and propel themselves to a Game 4 victory and even the series at 2-2. NYI has shown it's not going to back down or deviate from their game plan and we like the fact that they can score goals in bunches and the fact that they are starting to frustrate the Lightning. Let's roll with the Islanders today!

4-Unit Play. Take Dallas over Vegas (Saturday at 8 pm)

Let us take a shot with the Stars to win back-to-back games in the series. They played extremely well in the last game and should be able to use that momentum gained to capture a 3-1 series lead and put Vegas on the brink of elimination. Vegas still has a goaltending issue and we see that causing a distraction for the team which Dallas should be able to take advantage of. Great price on the Stars, so we'll take a shot with them here in this spot.

4-Unit Play. Take Vegas over Dallas (Thursday at 8pm)

As per your selection on Vegas, we saw the real Knights team show up in Game 2 and play great hockey and even the series up at 1-1. We don't expect them to take their foot off the gas pedal in this one and we believe Vegas gets their second win in a row behind strong goaltending by Lehner and a relentless attack. Dallas may have have snuck away with Game 1, but have been badly outplayed for about 4.5 out of 6 periods so far this series. Take Vegas and lets cash another hockey ticket!

4-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over New York (Wednesday at 8pm)

As per your selection on Tampa, it's really tough to go against them in Game 2 after their dominant display in Game 1. They were better and faster than the Isles and we don't see that changing within 48 hours. The Lightning are close enough to the Finals that they can taste it and we don't see any lack in effort or concentration creeping into their locker room today despite the blowout win in Game 1. Tampa is the better team and we'll take them here to go up 2-0 in the series.

4-Unit Play. Take Vegas  over Dallas (Tuesday at 8:10pm)

As per your selection on Vegas, sooner or later they are going to have to start scoring goals in order for them to win some hockey games. We believe they got their clunker out of the way in Game 1 and will be much sharper in this contest and grab the win. Look, game 1 was as sloppy as you could get and Dallas could only muster one goal on 25 shots. They were badly outplayed in the third, outshot 13-2 and we believe that'll have a carryover effect into Game 2. Take Vegas as they even the series at 1-1.

4-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over New York Islanders (Monday at 8pm)

As per your selection on Tampa Bay, we'll keep this selection short and sweet. Tampa is the fresher of the two teams and will likely be ready to go and get this series off a winning note, both for their mental and physical well-being. The Isles have been a solid team so far this postseason, but we don't see how they stack up against a Tampa squad that can score goals at will. Tampa knows they'll need to play their best hockey to get to the Finals and we believe they'll be ready to go for Game 1.

4-Unit Play. Take New York Islanders over Philadelphia (Thursday at 7pm)

We are on the Islanders today again in hopes they close out the series vs the Flyers. The Isles have been the better team throughout the series and we don't believe Philly has what it takes to win this game and force a Game 7.

4-Unit Play. Take Colorado over Dallas (Wednesday at 8pm)

As per your selection on Colorado to win this game and force a Game 7, we believe that the Avs finally woke up and you saw that in their dominating 6-3 win on Monday. The Avs are clearly the better team with more scoring and better depth and we believe that'll come to the forefront once again in Game 6. Dallas is extremely inconsistent and we can't see them winning this game tonight.

7-Unit Play. Take New York Islanders over Philadelphia Flyers (Tuesday at 7 pm)

As per your selection on the Islanders, no sense writing up a million words when the series was over after the last game. The Islanders are the better team and Philly just looks disinterested and like they'd rather be anywhere else. The Islanders will win this game and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

7-Unit Play. Take Tampa Bay over Boston (Monday at 7pm)

As per your selection on Tampa Bay to win this game and close out the series, they've been the better team over the last three games by far and we just don't see a way back for Boston considering they are having trouble scoring and staying out of the penalty box. Once again, Tampa has the better overall team and better goaltender of the two teams and it's showing as Tampa is inching closer to trying to get over the sting of last season's playoff disappointment. Tampa will want to win this game tonight and end the series as opposed to giving Boston new life and a second chance at staving off elimination in a potential Game 6.

4-Unit Play. Take New York Islanders over Philadelphia Flyers (Sunday at 8 pm) We were on the Flyers last night, but I am convinced that no matter what they do they just will not win. More so, the Islanders are like cockroaches in a sense that they just do not die regardless of how poorly they play they seem to keep coming back to win. I am on board the Islanders tonight and I think they push Philly to the brink of elimination. The Flyers coach called out his big guns after yesterday's loss, but I do not see them responding. Take the Islanders tonight.

4-Unit Play. Take Philadelphia +100 over New York Islanders (Saturday @ 7pm)

As per your selection on Philadelphia, we believe the OT win followed by some rest will actually do the Flyers well as they can regroup and get back to doing what they do best. Philly finally got contributions from up and down the lineup in Game 2 and we expect their depth scoring to come to the forefront in this one and help out the cause. The Islanders did well to come back in that OT game but all that extended energy and juice used to only lose in OT will likely be a hindrance in Game 3. Let's roll with the Flyers here tonight.
