Game: Pittsburgh at Florida (7:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Game Total UNDER 6.5 +105 (risk 3 to win 3.2)
Pittsburgh games have been sailing way over the total lately, leading to a high total that is even juiced, pushing towards 7. But there are two teams playing here. Florida games have been low-scoring of late. THey have slowed on offense and improved on defense. In three of their last four games, they have scored 2 or fewer goals. The Panthers are 24-14 UNDER this season vs. weak defensive opponents scoring 2.9+ goals per game. They are also 22-12 UNDER vs. hot offensive teams (3+ goals per game). We'll bank on Florida slowing this one down as they usually do and the game going UNDER.
Game: San Jose at Chicago (8:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on San Jose -161 (risk 3 to win 1.9)
Chicago is struggling and now they face a team that has beaten them four out of the last five times they met. The Blackhawks have dropped four straight and five of six. They are home here but so what? This team has lost eight of their last nine home games! Chicago is also tired. Look for San Jose to roll.
Game: Calgary at Phoenix (9:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Calgary -160 (risk 3 to win 1.9)
Calgary is in desparate need of a road win - something they have not experienced in over a month. They should get it here against the lowly Coyotes who have lost six in a row and nine of their last eleven. Over their last five games, Calgary is averaging 4.2 goals per game while Phoenix is managing just 2.2. Take the Flames here.
Game: Vancouver at Los Angeles (10:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on Los Angeles +1.5 -233 (risk 3 to win 1.3)
Great opportunity to back LA in this game. They are an underdog despite owning this matchup. The Kings have won four of the last five overall in this matchup and they have only lost three times int he last nineteen played here at home vs. the Canucks. They've picked up their defense of late. We'll back them at +1.5 on the puckline given that they haven't lost a game by 2+ goals since last month. Vancouver's been on such a good run that we think they may let down a bit here. LA should keep it close.
