There are only 4 games scheduled for this evening in the NHL. Our game takes us out west to the Salt Lake City home of the Utah Hockey Club. The UHC is hosting the dreaded and feared reigning Stanley Cup Champion Florida PANTHERS. Utah has floundered on home ice. They are 5-7-4 on Delta Center ice. The UHC has only won 1 of their last 7 games. Florida has also not been playing well as of late but should still win this evening in Salt Lake.
Today’s PICK — Florida PANTHERS -135 — WIN
There are 10 games slated for this evening in the NHL. One of those games includes a Hurricane delayed game in Tampa Bay. Our game tonight takes us to PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. The PENGUINS are hosting the Columbus BLUE JACKETS. Talk about a Jeckyl and Hyde team? Columbus is that team. They are 13-5-2 at home and 4-12-3 on the road. The JACKETS have never had any luck when playing in Pittsburgh. This is a game the PENS should dominate.
Today’s PICK — Pittsburgh PENGUINS -140 — LOSS
There are only 4 games slated for today in the NHL. With so few games, it is difficult to find that needle in the haystack. Our game tonight takes us to the beautiful city of Montreal. The CANADIENS are welcoming in the Vancouver CANUCKS. Yes folks, east meets west this evening. Typically, the CANUCKS have had their way with the CANADIENS and certainly the NUCKS have been dominant on the road this season. The HABS have played well as of late and are capable of surprising at this moment in time.
Today’s PICK — Montreal CANADIENS +110 — WIN
There are 5 games scheduled for today. Our game today takes us to the Boston home of the BRUINS. The New York ISLANDERS are in town to challenge the BRUINS. Boston has beaten the ISLANDERS in at least 4 straight games at TD Garden in Beantown. After losing their last 3 games on the road the BRUINS must be happy to be back on home ice. Tonight, Boston is coming to play.
Today’s PICK — Boston BRUINS -115 — LOSS
Today there are 13 games on the docket. Tonight, the Calgary FLAMES host the Nashville PREDATORS. The Scotiabank Saddledome will be rocking this evening in the great white north. Somehow the PREDS were able to pull things together to shutout the CANUCKS last night. Nashville has only been able to win 4 games on the road this season and it doesn't get any easier tonight vs the FLAMES.
Today’s PICK — Calgary FLAMES -110 — LOSS
There are 5 games on tap this evening. A couple of the games are simply too close to call. Our game tonight takes us to Enterprise Center in St. Louis, MO. The BLUES are welcoming in the Ottawa SENATORS. Over the years the SENATORS have not had much luck playing the BLUES. Tonight, is Ottawa's 8th straight road game because of the World Junior Championships. They are road weary and tired.
Today’s PICK — St. Louis BLUES -115 — WIN
There are 12 BIG games slated for today in the NHL. Our game tonight takes us to southern Florida and the city of Miami. The Florida PANTHERS are hosting the Carolina HURRICANES at Amerant Bank Arena. Florida is Carolina's cryptonite. The CANES have beaten the PANTHERS in 3 of their last 10 head-to-head. Rarely have those wins come in Miami. Carolina has had their troubles on the road where they have won only 1 of their last 5. Leaning Florida in tonight’s clash.
Today’s PICK — Florida PANTHERS -125 — LOSS
Happy New YEAR! There is only 1 game scheduled for today in the NHL. As we start the year, we are truly in the 2nd season. Our game today takes us to the Los Angeles home of the KINGS - Crypto.com Arena. When these 2 teams meet, they are usually low scoring games. East meet West here with the KINGS owning their ice at home and the DEVILS playing well on the road. New Jersey has lost 3 roadies in a row and that gives the KINGS the edge this afternoon.
Today’s PICK — Los Angeles KINGS -105 — WIN
There is a nearly full slate of games throughout the day. Thirteen games are on tap in the NHL this New Year’s Eve. Hopefully all of the teams will be focused on their games. Our game tonight takes us to Calgary, Alberta where the FLAMES are welcoming the fellow western Canadian team - Vancouver CANUCKS. Vancouver has been great on the road but have lost their last 2 roadies. Calgary has won their last 2 games, but not against good competition. I like the CANUCKS tonight in Calgary.
Today’s PICK — Vancouver CANUCKS -105 — LOSS
We have a very quiet evening tonight in the NHL. There are only 3 games slated this evening. Our game tonight takes us to the Pacific Northwest and Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle. Seattle will have to be on their best behavior this evening @ home. The road warrior UTAH Hockey Club is in the house. They are terrible at Delta Center, but on the road very good. On the other hand, the KRAKEN have lost 3 of their last 4 home games.
Today’s PICK — UTAH Hockey Club -135 — LOSS
Today we have an unusually busy day in the NHL. There are 9 games on the docket. The Washington CAPITALS have been good to the Pick this season. After yesterday’s win, we return to the CAPS one again as they head over to the Moror City. Washington won yesterday in Toronto and Alexander Ovechkin scored in his return to action. Today is Todd McLellan's 2nd game as head coach for the WINGS. The CAPS have been a machine on the road and should take down Detroit today at the Dough-Joe.
Today’s PICK — Washington CAPITALS -140 — LOSS
Throughout the day we have 11 games slated to be played. Our game tonight takes us north of the border to the Toronto home of the MAPLE LEAFS. The Washington CAPITALS are in town to deliver some pain to the LEAFS. All season long the CAPITALS have been a dominant team and today their star Alexander Ovechkin will likely be back on the ice. LEAFS star Auston Matthews will likely be out tonight. The difference in this game will likely be the presence of the Russian.
Today’s PICK — Washington CAPITALS -110 — WIN
As we restart the season after the Christmas break, we look forward to seeing some good hockey down the stretch in the coming months. Tonight, we have 8 games on the docket. Our game tonight takes us to the newest franchise in the league that still does not have a real moniker. Tonight, we head out to the Delta Center home of the Utah Hockey Club (UHC) where they host the visiting Colorado AVALANCHE. Colorado is probably happy to be on the road in Salt Lake City. Utah has had anything but a home ice advantage at Delta Center where they are 5-6-4. Tonight is already the 3rd game of the season between these 2 teams.
Today’s PICK — Colorado AVALANCHE -135 — WIN
See you on Friday! MERRY Christmas!
There are 13 BIG games scheduled for the day, 2 days before Christmas. Our game takes us to the TD Garden home of the Boston BRUINS. The streaking Washington CAPITALS are in town for tonight’s tilt. Tonight, the BRUINS are hosting one of the hottest teams in the league. The CAPS have dropped their last 2 road games but have been dominant on the road. If Boston wins this year, it is usually at home, just not tonight.
Today’s PICK — Washington CAPITALS +110 — LOSS
Today there are 6 games on the docket. Todays, game takes us to Floriday and Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay. The LIGHTNING are welcoming in the Florida PANTHERS. The Florida PANTHERS always seem to be up for playing the LIGHTNING. Florida has won 8 of their last 10 versus Tampa Bay. Both teams have won their last few games, but Florida is clearly better at this point.
Today’s PICK — Florida PANTHERS -115 — WIN
There are 11 games slated throughout the day in the NHL. There are what appear to be obvious choices today as selections, but be CAREFUL, during this holiday season. Tonight, we are headed out to the Las Vegas home of the GOLDEN KNIGHTS. The Seattle KRAKEN are in town for tonight’s tilt. Seattle has lost 3 straight games and have their troubles winning on the road. The VGK carry in a 12-3-0 record into tonight's game on the Strip. Scoring will be scarce this evening at T-Mobile.
Today’s PICK — Vegas GOLDEN KNIGHTS -195 — WIN

At home they're under .500, on the road they're 10-2-2. Vegas has been great on T-Mobile ice. The NUCKS have had the KNIGHT's # on the Strip.
Today’s PICK — Vancouver CANUCKS +143 — LOSS
