Free Nhl Predictions - April 16, 2008
We finished 4-1 yesterday for +3.8 units. Last night's win boosted us to +8.1 units over the last two weeks. Two more picks tonight.
Today's NHL Hockey Picks:
Game: Pittsburgh at Ottawa (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Pittsburgh -160 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 1.9)
The Senators are hurt. They aren't playing well and then Pens are young and a offensive powerhouse. Pittsburgh leads the series 3-0 and has out-played Ottawa in every game. This trend will continue tonight in Ottawa as the Pen's will close out the series in dominating fashion 4-0. Ottawa is 1-7 in its last eight games. The Senators goal tending has been suspect as of late also. Injuries, poor goal tending and sloppy play all lead up to a Pen's win. Take Pittsburgh tonight for the sweep.
Game: New Jersey at New York (7:00 PM Eastern)Pick: 3 units on New York -150 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 2)
Sean Avery has been a thorn in the side of the Devils. His tactics in front of goalie Broduer were annoying to say the least. The NHL implemented a new rule because of the face guarding tactics Avery used. Although a big issue in the NHL and this series, the bigger issue is Avery's series-leading three goals. The Rangers have looked dominating at times against the Devils. The Rangers are 9-2 in their last 11 games when playing New Jersey. That trend continues tonight for the Rangers as they are good at home and we expect another win for a commanding series lead.
