Free Nhl Picks - March 19, 2008
2-1 last night. Tonight we have a couple of picks...
Today's NHL Hockey Picks:
Game: New York Rangers at New Jersey (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 3 units on New York Rangers +120 (moneyline) (risk 3 to win 3.6)
The Devils play great defense (2.3 goals per game allowed) but vs. division foes it climbs to 2.6. Their offense has struggled vs. division opponents too, averaging just 2.4 goals per game. They have notched 4 goals in each of their last two games but prior to that they went a eight game stretch getting more than 2 goals just once. They now have to face a very good defense that is playing great. The Rangers allow 2.5 goals per game this season but over their last five games, it's averaged just 2.0 and in 23 division games, they allow a very stingy 1.9 per game! That's the reason they are 16-7 in those games. The Rangers have won 9 of their last 11 games vs. winning teams and we like them here.
Game: Washington at Chicago (8:30 PM Eastern)Pick: 3 units on Game Total OVER 5.5 -115 (risk 3 to win 2.6)
The Capitals give up 3.0 goals per game on the road this season. The Blackhawks allow 2.6 at home but over their last five that has gone out the window as they are averaging 3.8 per game allowed. Washington is 21-11 OVER this season when playing a losing opponent. Chicago is 11-3 OVER this season when playing on two days rest. They are 22-12 OVER off a home loss under Denis Savard including 12-4 this season.
Results: 1-1
