Today's NHL Hockey Picks:
Game: Chicago at Detroit (12:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Game Total UNDER 5.5 -115 (risk 3 to win 2.6)
Detroit secured another President's Trophy on Thursday gets one more tune up for the playoffs here. This is a disciplined team that won't take the day off. We think they will actually play hard here given that Chicago is the only team in the Western Conference that has a winning record against the Red Wings this season. Over their last five games, Detroit is scoring just 2.2 goals per game but their defense has remained good. On the season, they allow 2.3 goals per game and with their motivation, we think they will have succes shutting down Chicago. The Red Wings are 13-4 UNDER at home the past three seasons revening a 2+ goal loss. They are 24-12 UNDER revenging a road loss over that span. The Blackhawks are 9-2 UNDER in their last eleven games this season vs. good offensive opponents (those getting 30+ shots on goal per game).
Game: Pittsburgh at Philadelphia (3:00 PM Eastern)Pick: 4 units on Game Total OVER 6 +100 (risk 4 to win 4)
Pittsburgh withstood the loss of Sidney Crosby and Mar-Andre Fleury this year and still stand to secure the top seed in the East if they can beat Philadelphia here. They've won four of their last five. On the season their road games have averaged 5.7 goals per game while Philly's home games have averaged 6 per game. Pittsburgh is 5-1 OVER in their last six as a favorite of -100 to -150. Philly is 6-1 OVER in their last seven as a dog. The Penguins are also 11-4 OVER in their last fifteen vs. winning teams. We like this one to go OVER.
Results: 1-1
