NHL Picks: Today’s Top Hockey Sports Predictions, Wagers

NHL Picks: Today’s Top NHL Sports Predictions We’ve been slacking a little bit if you look only at our NHL Picks page. I had a bar application due, we had to put together our MLB Picks Podcast, and I was camping last week with limited internet. As a result, we have only given you a few picks this week. Tonight, I rectify some of that by posting the entire slate of games from my forum. We’ve been on quite a run, up more than $1,000 with $100 units.

Today, a bunch of games fit the system. I’ve laid out the ...

NHL Picks: New York Islanders at Tampa Bay Lightning

NHL Picks: New York Islanders at Tampa Bay Lightning It’s always dangerous to bet against potential playoff teams like this. That said, the New York Islanders have been a mess without their goaltender and are not the same team. They’ve been sputtering of late, and they take to the road against one of the top teams in the NHL when they face the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Lightning have been rolling along lately. This elite offense should have fun with the New York Islanders’ lack of defensive depth and goaltending woes. I do not trust Thomas Greiss, or any other ...

NHL Picks: Edmonton Oilers at San Jose Sharks

NHL Picks: Edmonton Oilers at San Jose Sharks The Edmonton Oilers are an explosive young team with a lot of holes. The defense is porous, the goaltending is suspect, and the offense is inconsistent. That said, the young talent on the Oilers’ top two lines can compete with just about anyone. The Oilers are dangerous at times, but ultimately they fit the system when they play top NHL teams like the San Jose Sharks.

The San Jose Sharks are a great team at home. The Shark Tank is one of the most intimidating arenas in hockey. They have goaltending and ...

NHL Picks: New York Rangers at Anaheim Ducks

NHL Picks: New York Rangers at Anaheim Ducks The New York Rangers have been incredibly inconsistent this season. For long stretches the Rangers appear to be one of the best teams in hockey. At other times, like right now, they cannot get out of their own way. Against one of the hottest teams in the NHL, the New York Rangers have their work cut out for them with the Anaheim Ducks.

The Anaheim Ducks are in a little bit of a slump here, losing three of four. That said, they were on a bad stretch of the schedule and rebounded nicely ...

NHL Picks: Carolina Hurricanes at Washington Capitals

NHL Picks: Carolina Hurricanes at Washington Capitals The Washington Capitals are coming back from a long road trip out west that visibly wore them down. After a couple of porous games and blowout losses, the Caps returned home and had a couple days of rest. I think they will be recharged and talent will show through against a very mediocre Carolina Hurricanes team with nothing to play for but a draft seed.

This is something of a rivalry game for divisional foes, but the Washington Capitals have been the much better team this year. The Canes do not match up ...

NHL Picks: Buffalo Sabres at Montreal Canadiens

NHL Picks: Buffalo Sabres at Montreal Canadiens The Buffalo Sabres have been better lately. Simply put, they are not the pushover that they were in the beginning of the season. That said, neither are the Montreal Canadiens, but probably not for the better. Still, the Habs have been winning games lately and look like the team we thought they would be when Carey Price was healthy.

I trust the Montreal Canadiens again. The Habs have lost a bunch of games lately, but they were very competitive out west and lost those games to great teams during a tough stretch of ...

NHL Picks: Nashville predators at Winnipeg Jets

NHL Picks: Nashville Predators at Winnipeg Jets The Nashville Predators are one of the streakiest teams in hockey. They are again on a fantastic run, anchored in excellent goaltending in defense but finally scoring enough to be a viable Cup contender. 19 goals in their last four games and 25 in their last six show that this team can score in bunches. Lucky for them, the Winnipeg Jets give up goals in bunches.

Moreover, the Winnipeg Jets are also a streaky team. The Jets just dealt their best player to a playoff contender and are in rebuilding mode. Winnipeg gives ...

Free NHL Picks Contest: Philadelphia Flyers at Florida Panthers

NHL Picks Contest: Philadelphia Flyers at Florida Panthers

Saturday, March 12th

Well, I’ve got a two game lead so I took to the public to let you guys choose the game that I would beat you all with. After three submissions, I picked the game that was the furthest out to let everyone have a chance to put their picks in. The result is the Philadelphia Flyers at the Florida Panthers being what I hope will be the decisive selection.

The Florida Panthers have been slumping lately and are staggering down the stretch, while the Philadelphia Flyers find ...

NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens at LA Kings

NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens at LA Kings Consider of all our logic and reasoning from last night’s win against the Montreal Canadiens, add a back to back, and substitute a team that has won four of five instead of nine in a row. It looks like an awfully similar equation, and I like the LA Kings to beat the Habs tonight.

The Canadiens are playing better, as evidenced by the overtime battle they just had on the road with one of the best teams in hockey. Now, however, they will insert a backup goalie for the man who kept them ...

NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens at Anaheim Ducks Preview

NHL Picks: Montreal Canadiens at Anaheim Ducks Recently, the Montreal Canadiens have stopped being laughably terrible. They have started to win games again and are no longer on a skid from the upper echelon of the league to the deepest depths of despair. Without Carey Price, the Habs simply haven’t been competitive until recently. With him, they would likely be one of the top seeds in the Eastern Conference.

The Anaheim Ducks stumbled mightily in the beginning of the season. They, unlike the Montreal Canadiens, had no real reason for their terrible start. Anaheim was a team that I predicted ...
