Today's NHL Hockey Picks:

Game: Atlanta at Washington (7:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Game Total UNDER 6.5 +100 (risk 3 to win 3)

The Capitals have one thing left to shore-up before they make their bid for the Stanley Cup, and that is behind the net and on the defensive end. The Caps after allowing 37 goals in 11 games, have tightened things up and have allowed just 8 in their last four or 2 per contest. The Thrashers after playing lots of high-scoring games for most of the season, have shifted gears and eight of their last nine have played UNDER. The nine games have seen none top the 6-goal mark except one that was decided in overtime. The Caps have played five of their last six vs. a team with a losing record to the UNDER, and I look for this one to stay UNDER the total.

Game: Anaheim at St. Louis (8:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: 4 units on St. Louis -200 (moneyline) (risk 4 to win 2)

The Blues were a better road team than home team for much of the season, but things are falling back in place as they have won eight of their last 10 on home ice, including five straight. Anaheim has gotten it done at home, but has not done well on the road all season, standing in at 12-25 in their last 37 on the road. They have also struggled playing with zero days of rest where they are just 4-14 in their last 18 games. The Blues have bounced back after a lackluster defensive effort as they are 11-2 in their last 13 after allowing 5 goals or more. I like S. Louis in this one.

Results: 1-1
