Today's NHL Hockey Picks:

Game: San Jose at Detroit (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Detroit -130 (moneyline) (risk 2 to win 1.5)

The Detroit Red Wings let game three slip away and are now on the brink of elimination. They trail San Jose three games to none, and this team is too good and has too much pride to mail it in here. I expect a huge effort in this one, while San Jose may put it on cruise control tonight. The Red Wings have played 15 playoffs series in a row without being swept, and stand in at 38-15 as a playoff favorite in their last 53. The Sharks are just 7-20-1 in their last 28 in Detroit, and will be hard pressed to close the door in this one. I'm going with Detroit here.

The Montreal Canadiens have played over their heads in the playoffs and it is beginning to show. In the long term, this team isn't a match for last year's Cup winning Penguins. Montreal scored 8 times in their first two playoffs games for 4 goals per game, but have since scored 18 in their last eight, or just over 2 per game. They are facing a Penguins team that has scored 3+ in six of their nine playoffs games, and also a team that is 5-0 after allowing 2 or less in their last game. The Penguins also boast a 28-8 mark in their last 36 as a playoffs favorite. The Canadiens are now 4-18 in their last 22 conference semi-final games. This one goes to Pittsburgh.

Results: 1-1
