Los Angeles KINGS vs Vancouver CANUCKS

Tonight all of the Eastern clubs finish off the regular season schedule. We have 9 games slated for this evening as we prepare for the upcoming Stanley Cup Playoffs. Our game tonight takes us up to beautiful British Columbia. The Vancouver CANUCKS are hosting the playoff bound Los Angeles KINGS. Tonight the KINGS could lock down the top wild card slot and avoid the AVALANCHE in the first round. Vancouver has somehow won their last 2 games but is on their way to the league's worst record and the top shot at securing the #1 pick.

Today’s PICK — Los Angeles KINGS -160

Colorado AVALANCHE vs Edmonton OILERS

There are 10 games on tap this evening as we wind down the regular season. At this time of year, it is difficult to predict who will play and who is motivated to win with nothing at stake. our game tonight has the Colorado AVALANCHE visiting the Edmonton OILERS. Edmonton is locked into the playoffs, but their seeding is still up in the air. They are one of 3 teams tied with 90 points. Colorado has the best record in the league and may rest some players tonight in Edmonton.

Today’s PICK — Edmonton OILERS EVEN $$$ — LOSS

Pittsburgh PENGUINS vs Washington CAPITALS

As we enter the final week of the season, we have 6 games slated for today. Our game takes us to Capital One Arena in our nation’s capital. The CAPITALS are hosting their long-time rival Pittsburgh PENGUINS. The competition between Sydney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin is likely coming to an end. It is possible that #8 retires after the season's final game. Today is likely their last game against each other. Last night the CAPS beat the PENS in Pittsburgh.

Today’s PICK — Washington / Pittsburgh OVER 6.5 — LOSS

Vegas GOLDEN KNIGHTS vs Colorado AVALANCHE

There is nearly a full slate of games throughout the NHL today. Thirty teams (15 games) are on tap. Our game takes us to Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. the Avalanche are welcoming in the dreaded and feared Vegas Golden KNGHTS. It was January 2023 the last time Vegas won in Denver. The AVS have the top record in the NHL and could possibly play the VGK in the playoffs. The AVS rarely lose in the rarefied air of the Mile High City.

Today’s PICK — Colorado AVALANCHE -135 — LOSS

Tampa Bay LIGHTNING vs Montreal CANADIENS

There are 14 BIG games going off this evening in the NHL. The playoff noose is getting tighter and tighter. The Montreal CANADIENS are welcoming in the Tampa Bay LIGHTNING into Bell Centre tonight. Montreal and Tampa Bay are tied at 102 points. Both teams have 4 games left to play. The LIGHTNING have won 4 of their last 5 IN Montreal. The HABS have won 9 of their last 10 games. Tampa's play on this trip has not been good.

Washington CAPITALS vs Toronto MAPLE LEAFS

Tonight, there are only 3 games on tap. One of the games will see a desperate San Jose SHARKS team take on the Edmonton OILERS in a barn burner. Our game this evening takes us to Toronto where the LEAFS are hosting the Washington CAPITALS. Toronto has been eliminated. Washington is on the cusp of elimination. The LEAFS are coming off a roadie where they lost 3 of the 4 games. Washington is coming off a back-breaking loss to the RANGERS. Life is not good for the CAPS. Scoring and not winning, will be the name of the game this evening.

Today’s PICK — Washington / Toronto OVER 6.5 — LOSS

Edmonton OILERS vs Utah MAMMOTH

There are 11 games going off this evening. Many of them have playoff ramifications. For many of the teams now is the time to step up their play. Our game takes us to the Delta Center home of the Utah MAMMOTH. Utah is hosting Connor McDavid and his Edmonton OILERS this evening. Utah has played well this season and will likely be a playoff participant. With a win the MAMMOTH could pull ahead of the OILERS in the Pacific. Unfortunately, the MAMMOTH have never beaten the OILERS since they moved to Salt Lake.

Today’s PICK — Edmonton OILERS -125 — LOSS

Tampa Bay LIGHTNING vs Buffalo SABRES

Tonight, we are entering final 11 days of the regular season. In these final 11 days the 1st round of the playoffs will be determined. Many teams are still desperate to get into the party. Our game may have a role in deciding the winner of the Atlantic Division. The Buffalo SABRES are hosting the Tampa Bay LIGHTNING ths evening at KeyBank Arena in Buffalo. Tampa Bay has had their playoff spot locked down for some time. Buffalo is also locked into the playoffs. They are currently 2 points behind Tampa Bay. Believe it or not the SABRES are competing in the playoff for the 1st time in 15 years. Buffalo rolls.

Today’s PICK — Buffalo SABRES -102 — WIN

Carolina HURRICANES vs Ottawa SENATORS

HAPPY Easter! Today we have 7 contests being played in the NHL. Our game today has playoff implications. The Carolina HURRICANES are headed up to Ottawa to take on the SENATORS. Home or away the HURRICANES have mostly had their way with the SENATORS. When it matters most the SENS have been unable to get the job done. They hold the last wildcard spot but have been flailing losing 4 of their last 5 games.

Today’s PICK — Carolina HURRICANES -125 — LOSS

Buffalo SABRES vs Washington CAPITALS

We have a nearly full slate of games today throughout the NHL. Our game takes us to the nations’ capital of Washington, DC. The CAPITALS are hosting the dreaded and feared Buffalo SABRES. In this head-to-head series the home team usually wins the game. But that is not taking into consideration the SABRES improvement this season. The CAPS have to win tonight to maintain their playoff chances. But they may not have what it takes to beat the SABRES.

Today’s PICK — Buffalo SABRES -118 — LOSS

Philadelphia FLYERS vs New York ISLANDERS

There are only 2 games on tap this evening. Both games could have an impact on the standings. Our game tonight takes us to UBS Arena on Long Island. The ISLANDERS are hosting the Philadelphia FLYERS. Philadelphia is only 3 points behind the ISLANDERS. Last night they were dumped by the RED WINGS in Philadelphia. The ISLES have been off for 3 days and will be fresh tonight on the island. The ISLES will be highly motivated.

Today’s PICK — New York ISLANDERS -145 — LOSS

Detroit RED WINGS vs Philadelphia FLYERS

There is nearly a full slate of games on tap this evening as we head down the final stretch of the season. Our game tonight takes us to the “City of Brotherly Love” - Philadelphia. The FLYERS are hosting the Detroit RED WINGS in this evening’s tilt. Philadelphia and Detroit are locked together at 86 points. Something has got to give. The FLYERS have won 5 straight games versus the RED WINGS in Philly. The WINGS have only won 1 of their last 5 games. I like the FLYERS tonight.

Today’s PICK — Philadelphia FLYERS -110 — LOSS

Anaheim DUCKS vs San Jose SHARKS

There are only 3 games on tap this evening in the NHL. Out game takes us to the northern California home of the San Jose SHARKS. It is SO CAL versus NO CAL tonight at S-A-P Center. With a win tonight it could well lead to the first appearance of the San Jose’s return to the playoffs in 6 years. Tonight is the 3rd game of season series between these 2 rivals. Anaheim is on top of the Pacific but clearly needs tonight's game. San Jose is a couple of points behind the pack for a wildcard spot. SJ can beat these guys but have to play 60 minutes.

Today’s PICK — San Jose SHARKS -105 — WIN

Boston is in a fairly solid wildcard slot. Dallas has already qualified for the playoffs. Dallas has been taking it easy as of late and has been coasting. Boston is still taking the playoff race seriously and will be motivated 2Nite at TD Garden.

Today’s PICK — Boston BRUINS +105 — WIN

Minnesota WILD vs Boston BRUINS

We have a nearly full slate of games going off today throughout the NHL. Thirty of the 32 teams are hitting the ice today. Our game takes us to TD Garden in Boston for the matchup between the BRUINS and the Minnesota WILD. It has been 2 weeks since Minnesota won 2 straight games. The WILD are locked into the playoffs and have been coasting. Boston's return to playoff hockey is still up in the air. A win today for the BRUINS needs to happen.

Today’s PICK — Boston BRUINS +105 — WIN

Chicago BLACKHAWKS vs New York RANGERS

Tonight, there are only 2 games on tap and neither one of them is worth speculating on. Both games have the possibility of an upset. These games are almost at the point of a coin flip. Still, we endeavor to find that needle in the haystack! Our game takes us to the New York City home of the RANGERS fir a game between 2 storied franchises. If Chicago has any success against New York, it is usually at Madison Square Garden. The RANGERS have only won 9 games this season on home ice. NY has dropped 6 straight and has not responded to adversity very well this season (obviously). The HAWKS win.

Today’s PICK — Chicago BLACKHAWKS +145 — LOSS

Anaheim DUCKS vs Calgary FLAMES

Tonight, there are 13 games on tap. Our game takes us north of the border to Calgary, Alberta. The FLAMES are hosting an Anaheim DUCK team that is fully engaged in the playoff race. Anaheim is nowhere near the same team when they play on the road. Calgary, if they win, it is usually at Scotiabank Saddledome. The FLAMES have won 5 in a row on home ice. Nothing like being a spoiler…

Today’s PICK — Calgary FLAMES +115 — LOSS

New York RANGERS vs Toronto MAPLE LEAFS

There are only 2 games on tap this evening. One of the games sees the Buffalo SABRES racing toward the top of the standings (no you are not hallucinating) and the other has the Toronto MAPLE LEAFS hosting the New York RANGERS. Our game takes us to Toronto. The only way the RANGERS have seen any kind of success has been on the road. Typically, the RANGERS have trouble in Toronto. After winning 4 straight, NY has now lost 5 in a row. The LEAFS last won 2 straight February 3rd. Every dog finds a bone. Go NY!

Today’s PICK — New York RANGERS -120 — LOSS
