Game: Pittsburgh at Buffalo (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Buffalo +100 (risk 2 to win 2)
Tonight Buffalo could take the title as the league’s best team, trailing only Detroit. Tonight they have a chance to take that lead with a win they will be one point up on Detroit. In addition, a Buffalo win tonight could clinch the Eastern Conference title for the Sabres. Buffalo is 4-2 SU over its last six games. Buffalo had a tough loss against Montreal on Saturday 4-3. Buffalo was in this game the whole time and missed several late third period chances to tie the game. Buffalo's road record of 23-11-4 (50 pts) is first in the East, and one point behind San Jose for the best road mark in the NHL. Take Buffalo over Pittsburgh on the road.
Game: Carolina at Tampa Bay (7:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Tampa Bay -133 (risk 2 to win 1.5)
Tampa Bay has won back-to-back games. Tampa Bay is 9-3 SU over its last 12 games when playing at home against Carolina. Prior to Carolina's win on Saturday they have lost three straight including a road loss to the lowly Flyers. Carolina is fighting for a playoff spot but Tampa is a superior team. Perhaps the best pure goal scorer in the league plays for Tampa Bay in Vincent Lecavalier. Lacavlier leads the league with 51 goals this season.
Game: Colorado at Calgary (9:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Calgary -162 (risk 3 to win 1.9)
Colorado had its hope of a playoff chances killed by Calgary on Saturday night. Colorado won a must-win game at home beating the Wild 2-1, keeping the Av’s playoff hopes alive. Late Saturday night Calgary put a stop those hopes beating Vancouver 3-2. That put Calgary up seven points with just four games remaining. Colorado's playoff hopes have gone down the drain. Mathematically, they are still in the race but mentally they are not. Calgary will put an end to any hopes the Av's have left tonight. Calgary is 6-1 SU in its last seven games when playing at home against Colorado and things won't change much here. Colorado is a proud team but Calgary is just too good at home. Take Calgary over Colorado.
