Rating: 2 Units Capitals clinched their third straight Metropolitan Division title with Sunday's 3-1 victory at Pittsburgh. Washington has won 10 of its last 12 games and reached 100 points (101) for the fourth consecutive season after Philipp Grubauer turned aside 36 shots in the win over the Penguins. Captain Alex Ovechkin leads the Capitals in points (83) and tops the league with 45 goals but has been limited to one tally over his last six games as he seeks his seventh Maurice Richard Trophy and eighth career 50-goal season. |

04-02-18 | Jets -180 v. Senators | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Winnipeg Jets continue to add to their franchise-record point total and look to keep the momentum going when they visit the struggling Ottawa Senators on Monday. The Jets have won seven of their last eight games to push their total to 106 points, seven behind Central Division leader Nashville with four games remaining - all against teams that won’t be in the playoffs. The Jets have earned points in 26 of their 39 road games (18-13-8) as they prepare to take on the Senators, who are near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings after getting within a goal of the Stanley Cup Final last season. Ottawa has scored a total of 14 goals while dropping seven of its last eight contests after suffering a 2-0 loss at Detroit on Saturday and plays its final home game of the season Monday. |

04-01-18 | Capitals v. Penguins -110 | 3-1 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Less than 24 hours after setting a franchise record by qualifying for the playoffs for the 12th straight season, the Pittsburgh Penguins attempt to climb within one point of the top spot in the Metropolitan Division when they host the first-place Washington Capitals today. Pittsburgh, which made the postseason 11 consecutive times from 1991-2001, punched its ticket for this year's tournament with Saturday's 5-2 home triumph over Montreal. Phil Kessel and Riley Sheahan each recorded a goal and an assist for the two-time defending Stanley Cup-champion Penguins, who are 29-8-2 at home - including a 6-0-1 mark in their last seven - and have only three games remaining. Kessel is second on the team with a career-high 87 points - eight behind leader Evgeni Malkin, who notched a pair of assists against the Canadiens. |
|||||||
04-01-18 | Devils -148 v. Canadiens | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New Jersey Devils attempt to tighten their hold on a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference when they visit the Montreal Canadiens today. New Jersey completed a 3-0-1 homestand with Saturday's 4-3 triumph over the New York Islanders, which moved it five points ahead of Florida for the second wild card and pulled it within one of Philadelphia for the first spot with four games remaining. Taylor Hall continued his torrid pace Saturday as he scored twice to increase his career-high totals to 36 goals and 88 points while helping the Devils climb within three points of Columbus for third place in the Metropolitan Division. The 26-year-old left wing has collected five tallies and seven assists during his seven-game point streak and is one power-play goal away from matching the career high of 13 he set in 2011-12 with Edmonton. The Canadiens are kicking off a two-game homestand before ending the season with a pair of contests on the road. Montreal dropped a 5-2 decision at Pittsburgh on Saturday, marking its third loss to the Penguins in 17 days. |
|||||||
04-01-18 | Predators +145 v. Lightning | 4-1 | Win | 145 | 7 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lightning, who need one point to set the franchise record for a season, trail Atlantic-leading Boston by one while playing one more game, and the Predators won’t be in a good mood after suffering a 7-4 home loss against NHL-worst Buffalo on Saturday. Nashville allowed four power-play goals in the second period and lost for just the third time in regulation over its last 21 games (16-3-2) to see its lead in the Central Division shrink to five points with four contests to go. Second-leading scorer Filip Forsberg (58 points) sat out Saturday’s game for body maintenance and Eeli Tolvanen made his NHL debut, logging 13 minutes, 34 seconds of ice time without recording a shot. The Predators are 6-0-2 in the last eight meetings. |
|||||||
03-31-18 | Sharks v. Golden Knights -123 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Vegas Golden Knights likely won't catch Nashville for the top spot in the Western Conference, but they can secure the Pacific Division title when they face the San Jose Sharks today in their final home game of the regular season. The expansion Golden Knights will clinch the division crown with a regulation victory as they lead the Sharks by seven points with four games remaining. Vegas, which trails the Predators by six points for first in the West, improved to 2-1-0 on its four-game home stand by edging St. Louis 4-3 in overtime Friday. Jonathan Marchessault, who leads the team with a career-best 75 points, completed his first two-goal performance of the season 22 seconds into the extra session as the Golden Knights improved to 4-1-2 over their last seven contests. San Jose had its nine-game point streak (8-0-1) snapped Thursday as it dropped a 5-3 decision at Nashville to fall to 1-1-1 on its four-game road trip. The Sharks are all but locked into second place in the Pacific as they own a four-point lead over Los Angeles, which has only three games left on its schedule. |
|||||||
03-31-18 | Wild -116 v. Stars | 1-4 | Loss | -116 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild look to extend their point streak to eight games by completing a home-and-home sweep of the reeling Dallas Stars today at American Airlines Center. Minnesota, which owns a 4-0-3 mark in its last seven contests, has positioned itself well for a sixth straight postseason appearance while Dallas' playoff aspirations are fading fast in the midst of a 1-7-2 run. While Minnesota continues to record points, Dallas finds itself spiraling in the wrong direction with just four games remaining on its slate. |
|||||||
03-31-18 | Rangers v. Hurricanes -190 | 2-1 | Loss | -190 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Carolina Hurricanes seek their fifth victory in six games and attempt to stave off playoff elimination for another day when they host the New York Rangers. The Hurricanes knocked off Metropolitan Division-leading Washington 4-1 on Friday to keep alive their faint postseason chances but will need four victories and a lot of help to accomplish their goal. Sebastian Aho gives Carolina plenty of hope for the future as the speedy forward scored his career-best 28th goal in Friday’s win for his 13th point in 11 contests and team-leading 64th of the season. The Hurricanes are eight points behind New Jersey for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference and have played one more game, while the Rangers have gone 1-4-2 in their last seven contests, getting eliminated from playoff consideration en route to that mark. New York took an early lead on Friday but watched Tampa Bay score five times in the third period to suffer a 7-3 defeat. The Rangers, who finished with a 21-16-4 record at home, play their final four games on the road, where they have struggled to a 12-20-5 mark. |
|||||||
03-31-18 | Panthers v. Bruins -170 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 2 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Marchand has posted three goals and six assists in the last four games to push his team-leading total to 84 points - one short of his career best last season. Marchand’s linemate David Pastrnak scored for the fourth consecutive game Thursday and is two away from matching his career high of 34 goals in 2016-17 while owning a career-best 76 points. Defensemen Zdeno Chara (upper-body) and Charlie McAvoy (knee) are both skating and could return to the lineup soon while forward David Backes (laceration) was back Thursday after missing five games. |
|||||||
03-30-18 | Blues +108 v. Golden Knights | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units NHL Second Star of the Week Jake Allen has turned aside 95 of 100 shots in his last four games and boasts an 8-1-0 mark in his last nine starts. Brayden Schenn has six points in his last six games (one goal, five assists) and set up a goal in each encounter versus Vegas this season. Captain Alex Pietrangelo scored in a 3-2 setback to the Golden Knights on Oct. 21 and has 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in his last nine games overall. St. Louis has allowed an NHL-low 25 goals during its 8-2-1 mark in March. |
|||||||
03-30-18 | Hurricanes v. Capitals -177 | 4-1 | Loss | -177 | 2 h 41 m | Show | |

The Capitals have won five of the past six meetings against the Hurricanes |
|||||||
03-30-18 | Lightning -151 v. Rangers | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Tampa Bay defenseman Victor Hedman registered a goal and an assist in Thursday’s setback while J.T. Miller netted his eighth tally in 14 games since being acquired from the Rangers in a blockbuster deal at the trade deadline. The Lightning are 5-5-1 in the second game of back-to-back sets in 2017-18 after winning their last two and attempt to capture the season series against the Rangers, who will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2009-10. New York has lost five of its last six (1-3-2) after coughing up a lead with 1:05 remaining in the third period and losing 3-2 in overtime at Washington on Wednesday. |
|||||||
03-25-18 | Ducks v. Oilers +125 | 5-4 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Edmonton is seeking its fourth consecutive victory after edging the Kings 3-2 on Saturday in the opener of a three-game homestand. Captain Connor McDavid scored a pair of goals in the triumph, giving him an NHL-best 96 points - one ahead of Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov - as he seeks his second straight Art Ross Trophy. McDavid has been piping hot, registering two goals in each of his last two games and seven points over his last three contests while collecting 15 tallies and as many assists in his last 18 matches. Adam Larsson recorded an assist on McDavid's first goal Saturday, giving him 100 points in his career. The 25-year-old Swedish defenseman, who was selected fourth overall by New Jersey in the 2011 draft, has registered three of his 12 points on the season over his last five contests. |
|||||||
03-25-18 | Predators v. Jets -124 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Winnipeg Jets have not totally given up on the top spot in the Central Division, and their final run at the title must start at home today with a victory over the first-place Nashville Predators. The Jets have won four in a row to stay within striking distance of the Predators, reaching 100 points for the first time in franchise history with Friday's 3-2 overtime victory over Anaheim at home. The Jets have won two straight in overtime and are 8-2-1 this month.Nashville had its 15-game point streak halted by Toronto on Thursday and suffered a 4-1 loss at Minnesota two nights later as it kicked off a quick two-game road trip. The Predators were limited to 20 shots by the Wild and received their lone goal from Ryan Johansen in the first period. |
|||||||
03-24-18 | Capitals -175 v. Canadiens | 6-4 | Win | 100 | 18 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Capitals look to continue their surge and solidify their position at the top of the Metropolitan Division when they visit the struggling Montreal Canadiens today. The Capitals have won six of their last seven after Thursday’s 1-0 victory at Detroit and lead rival Pittsburgh by three points with eight games remaining as they attempt to win a third straight division title. Former Hart and Vezina Trophy winner Carey Price, who made 34 saves Wednesday in his first start in nearly a month due to a concussion, could be back in net but is 6-12-4 lifetime against Washington. |
|||||||
03-24-18 | Sabres v. Rangers -162 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jesper Fast is riding a career-high seven-game point streak after recording two goals and an assist against the Flyers. The 26-year-old Swede has collected three tallies and six assists during his run, putting him within five points of 100 for his career. Mika Zibanejad also has been red-hot as he enters Saturday with a four-game goal-scoring streak during which he has registered six tallies - including his team-leading 26th on Thursday - and a six-game run on which he has collected 10 points. Buffalo concluded a 1-4-1 homestand Friday with a 3-0 setback against Montreal - its second shutout loss in three contests. |
|||||||
03-24-18 | Blues v. Blue Jackets -160 | 2-1 | Loss | -160 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Columbus Blue Jackets are on the second-best overall run in franchise history and look to match their longest home winning streak when they host the St. Louis Blues today. Columbus has ridden a string of 10 consecutive victories to third place in the Metropolitan Division and can move past Pittsburgh for second with a ninth straight win at home, which would tie the club mark set from Nov. 29, 2016-Jan. 3, 2017. The Blue Jackets, who are coming off a 4-0 home triumph over Florida on Thursday, have not lost since March 2 at Anaheim and haven't fallen at Nationwide Arena since suffering a 5-2 setback against the Penguins on Feb. 18. On the road, St. Louis has been pretty mediocre, before Wednesday's OT win over the Bruins (at home), they were only 3-7 SU this year when on a win streak of three or more games. |
|||||||
03-24-18 | Flames v. Sharks -165 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 15 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sharks solidified their hold on second place in the Pacific by knocking off division-leading Vegas 2-1 in overtime on Thursday night. San Jose has won four in a row in the series, including a 7-4 victory in Calgary on March 16 that kicked off the Flames' current four-game slide. Injury-riddled Calgary was blanked for the second time during the skid in Wednesday's 4-0 home loss to Anaheim and is eight points out of the second wild-card slot with seven games remaining. |
|||||||
03-23-18 | Bruins +107 v. Stars | 3-2 | Win | 107 | 6 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units A miserable road trip has put a major dent into the postseason hopes of the Dallas Stars, who are hoping to get back on track when they open a three-game homestand against the Boston Bruins on Friday night. The Stars failed to win on their six-game trek and earned only two points (0-4-2) to slide into 10th place in the Western Conference. The Bruins are trying to chase down first-place Tampa Bay in the Atlantic Division but have lost two in a row since they clinched a playoff berth after Wednesday's 2-1 overtime setback in St. Louis. Bruins G Tuukka Rask is 5-2-1 with a 2.34 goals-against average versus Dallas. |
|||||||
03-23-18 | Ducks v. Jets -130 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Opposing the red-hot Gibson in net will be the Jets' Connor Hellebuyck, who is having quite a season (37-11-9, 2.34 GPG & .925 SP). In addition, the Jets are tied for the most home wins in the NHL with Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay at 27-8-1, where the Jets average 3.64 GPG. Take the Jets. |
|||||||
03-22-18 | Lightning -183 v. Islanders | 7-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy turned aside 27 shots Tuesday to break Ben Bishop’s franchise record with his 41st victory, and owns a .952 save percentage in six career appearances against the Islanders. Right wing Nikita Kucherov scored his team-leading 37th goal Tuesday and leads the league with a career-best 94 points - 12 of them coming in his last eight contests. Right wing Ryan Callahan (four goals, 15 points) suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday’s victory and will not make the road trip that ends in New Jersey on Saturday. |
|||||||
03-22-18 | Coyotes +180 v. Hurricanes | 5-6 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Hurricanes' latest setback was their fourth straight at home, a 7-3 loss to Edmonton on Tuesday. Sebastian Aho recorded his club-high 26th goal and an assist in the defeat to extend his point streak to six games and pull even for the team lead in points (59) with fellow Finn Teuvo Teravainen, who also tallied. Arizona is seeking its third consecutive victory as it continues a six-game road trip that began with Wednesday's 4-1 triumph in Buffalo. Clayton Keller set up a pair of goals for the Coyotes to give him 35 assists and 55 points, breaking the club records for a rookie respectively set by Max Domi in 2015-16 and Peter Mueller in 2007-08. |
|||||||
03-21-18 | Ducks -106 v. Flames | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rickard Rakell and the Anaheim Ducks are in the midst of a strong 10-game stretch, with the former recording 14 points (nine goals, five assists) to help the latter notch a second three-game winning streak of the month. Rakell looks to keep the Ducks ascending in the standings as they open a four-game Canadian trek with a tilt versus the Calgary Flames. The 24-year-old Swede scored and set up a goal in Sunday's 4-2 victory versus New Jersey to help Anaheim maintain its hold on the second wild card in the Western Conference. Rakell doused the Flames with a power-play tally in a 2-1 win on Dec. 29 to help even the season series at one victory apiece before Micheal Ferland scored and set up a goal in Calgary's 3-2 win over Anaheim at the Scotiabank Saddledome on Jan. 6. Ferland has five points (one goal, four assists) in his past six games overall for the Flames, who lost their third straight with a 5-2 setback to Arizona on Monday to reside six points outside of the playoff picture with eight games remaining. |
|||||||
03-20-18 | Avalanche -113 v. Blackhawks | 5-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Colorado Avalanche's remarkable turnaround from a 48-point 2016-17 season can largely be traced to one player as they visit the Chicago Blackhawks on today. Nathan MacKinnon could be considered the favorite to win the Hart Trophy after a 12-game point streak has yielded 13 goals and 11 assists, and - more importantly - helped Colorado move into wild-card position in the Western Conference with 10 contests remaining. MacKinnon scored twice in Sunday's 5-1 victory over Detroit, giving him 38 this season as the Avalanche have won four of five and are 7-1-3 in their last 11 games. |
|||||||
03-20-18 | Panthers -127 v. Senators | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Florida Panthers are doing their best to climb into a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and continue their quest today, when they visit the Ottawa Senators. Florida has earned points in 11 of its last 13 games (10-2-1) but sits three behind New Jersey for the second wild card, although it has two games in hand. Roberto Luongo made 28 saves in Monday's 2-0 win at Montreal to help the Panthers record their third shutout in six contests while Aleksander Barkov scored his 26th goal to end his six-game drought and increase his team-leading point total to 71. |
|||||||
03-20-18 | Flyers -153 v. Red Wings | 4-5 | Loss | -153 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers have applied the breaks on a disastrous stretch while the Detroit Red Wings effectively have skidded out of control. With former Red Wing Petr Mrazek in tow, the Flyers have answered a woeful 1-6-1 stretch with back-to-back victories heading into today's road tilt against a Detroit squad that been outscored 41-19 during its 10-game win less skid (0-9-1). |
|||||||
03-20-18 | Penguins -180 v. Islanders | 1-4 | Loss | -180 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Matt Murray could be in line to make his return from a nine-game absence today when the Pittsburgh Penguins visit the Barclays Center bidding for a season sweep of the New York Islanders. The two-time Stanley Cup-winning goaltender participated in his second consecutive practice on Monday after sustaining a concussion on Feb. 26. Murray, posted a 9-1-1 mark in 11 games prior to the injury. Pittsburgh has recorded a 5-3-1 mark in Murray's absence to reside within two points of first-place Washington in the Metropolitan Division. New York has dropped three straight and is 1-7-4 in its last 12 to plummet into the cellar of the Metro. |

Cam Atkinson scored 2:55 into the extra session, giving him four goals over his last three games and points in nine of his last 12 contests. |
|||||||
03-19-18 | Kings v. Wild -134 | 4-3 | Loss | -134 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Two teams battling for third place in their respective divisions face off today as the Minnesota Wild host the Los Angeles Kings. Minnesota, which is three points ahead of Colorado in the Central, is coming off road victories over Vegas and Arizona on Friday and Saturday, respectively. Devan Dubnyk made 30 saves en route to his 200th career win while Eric Staal netted his team-leading 38th tally to move closer to his third 40-goal season and first since 2008-09 while with Carolina. Los Angeles, which trails Anaheim by two points for third in the Pacific, is kicking off a four-game road trip after playing just one of its previous eight contests this month away from home. The Kings came up empty at Staples Center on Saturday as they were blanked 3-0 by New Jersey |
|||||||
03-19-18 | Panthers -139 v. Canadiens | 2-0 | Win | 100 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Florida Panthers gained some ground in the Eastern Conference playoff race during a 12-game stay in the Sunshine State by going 9-2-1, but they wrap up the month by spending most of their time on the road. Florida begins a string that features seven of its next eight contests away from home today, when it visits the struggling Montreal Canadiens. The Canadiens, who are playing out the string of a disappointing, injury-plagued season, have recorded just one victory in their last eight games (1-5-2) after suffering a 4-0 loss at Toronto on Saturday. Montreal is 29th in the league in scoring (2.5 goals) and has been shut out by Florida in each of the last two meetings between the Atlantic Division rivals. |
|||||||
03-18-18 | Stars v. Jets -150 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units While the Jets held a seven-point lead over Minnesota for in the race for second and third in the Central entering Saturday, the Stars are in the middle of a crowded race for a Western Conference wild-card spot. Dallas is struggling at the worst possible time, going winless in its past four games following Friday’s 3-2 overtime loss at Ottawa. The Jets have won all three meetings with Dallas this season, outscoring the Stars 14-6 as Scheifele boasts six goals, Laine four and F Blake Wheeler owns eight assists. |
|||||||
03-18-18 | Capitals -102 v. Flyers | 3-6 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Capitals sit atop the Metropolitan Division thanks to a four-game winning streak and hope to keep it going when they visit the Philadelphia Flyers today. Washington finds itself two points ahead of Pittsburgh after scoring 13 goals during a home-and-home sweep of the New York Islanders. Nicklas Backstrom, who netted a tally and set up another in Friday's 6-3 victory, is riding a four-game point streak during which he has collected three goals and four assists. The Capitals will need another strong offensive performance from Backstrom as Evgeny Kuznetsov did not make the trip to Philadelphia due to an upper-body injury. |
|||||||
03-18-18 | Red Wings v. Avalanche -175 | 1-5 | Win | 100 | 4 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Avalanche had won three in a row and earned points in nine straight games (6-0-3) before dropping a 4-2 home decision to NHL-best Nashville on Friday. It marked only the second regulation defeat in 17 home games (14-2-1) for Colorado, which is tied on points with Dallas and Anaheim but has a game in hand on both teams. The same doesn't hold true for the Red Wings, who are staggering to the finish line and enter Sunday's match up with a nine-game losing streak (0-8-1) - the franchise's longest skid since February 1986. |
|||||||
03-17-18 | Sharks -185 v. Canucks | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The San Jose Sharks continue their quest for first place in the Pacific Division as they conclude their three-game road trip today against the struggling Vancouver Canucks. San Jose pulled within eight points of division-leading Vegas - and moved three ahead of third-place Los Angeles - on Friday as it extended its winning streak to three games with a 7-4 triumph in Calgary. Evander Kane registered his first career hat trick in the victory, scoring four times after recording one goal in his first seven contests after being acquired from Buffalo at the trade deadline. Vancouver is making a pit stop at home in between three- and four-game road trips as it looks to halt a five-game overall losing streak during which it has scored a total of three goals. The Canucks failed to score during their just-completed three-game trek and have recorded one victory over their last nine contests (1-6-2). Vancouver is in danger of falling into the Western Conference basement as it sits two points ahead of Arizona and also hopes to stay ahead of league-worst Buffalo, which it leads by three points. |
|||||||
03-17-18 | Rangers +185 v. Blues | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Losses in 10 of their last 13 contests (3-8-2) have sent the struggling St. Louis Blues to the outside of the Western Conference playoff picture. The Blues look to put a halt to the skid and complete a two-game season sweep of the New York Rangers on Saturday when the clubs meet at Scottrade Center. The Blues' 25th-ranked offense and 30th-ranked power play aren't helping the cause and will face a Rangers club that is 5-2-2 in its last nine. Alexandar Georgiev posted his third straight win following a 37-save performance in Thursday's 4-3 versus Pittsburgh, highlighted by stopping Evgeni Malkin on a penalty shot with 10 seconds remaining in regulation. |

03-17-18 | Canadiens v. Maple Leafs -200 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Despite the absence of star forward Auston Matthews, who has been sidelined for the past eight games, the Maple Leafs have won three in a row and are 14 points clear of Florida for third place in the Atlantic Division. Toronto has been spectacular at the Air Canada Centre, winning a franchise-record 11 consecutive home games since the All-Star break. While the Maple Leafs are all but assured of the playoffs, the Canadiens trail their Original Six rival by a whopping 27 points in the division. Playing without injured captain Max Pacioretty, Montreal has lost six of its last seven after coughing up an early two-goal lead in Thursday's 5-3 home loss to Pittsburgh. |
|||||||
03-17-18 | Oilers v. Panthers -155 | 4-2 | Loss | -155 | 3 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Florida Panthers are making a spirited late-season run at a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, buoyed by their stellar play on their home ice. The Panthers' recent success at BB&T Center will be tested on Saturday against their next opponent as they seek their first home win over the Edmonton Oilers in more than 15 years. Florida cooled off the Boston Bruins 3-0 on Thursday night to improve to 9-1-1 in its last 11 overall and win for the ninth time in its last 10 at home. The Panthers are just three points behind New Jersey with two games in hand for the final playoff slot but play seven of the next eight on the road following today's clash. |

03-16-18 | Wild v. Golden Knights -148 | 4-2 | Loss | -148 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden Knights come in second in the Western Conference, while the Wild are currently fourth. Minnesota has the upper hand recently, winning the last two meetings. They have a slim +26 to +24 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” status thanks to seven wins in the last ten games. Vegas has won their last three after a mediocre 3-3-1 record over their previous seven. Although the Wild have been playing quite well, Vegas is tough at home and the Wild are under .500 on the road. I see a single goal win for the Golden Knights. |

03-16-18 | Red Wings v. Ducks -229 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Detroit is out of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, while the Ducks are battling for a final spot in the Western Conference. Detroit won the previous meeting between the two teams as a home underdog on February 13. However, they are only +3 versus +18 on the Power Ranking Indicator. Further demonstrating their futility, Detroit has lost their last seven and are “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator. It’s very unlikely that Detroit will come away with a win in this one. A strong bet is the Ducks in this one. |

03-16-18 | Predators -135 v. Avalanche | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Avalanche have been solid, going 5-1-4 over the last ten, but the Predators are on a roll, 9-0-1 in their last ten. Not surprisingly, the Predators hold a +30 to +14 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Furthermore, they are “burning hot” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and have won the last three meetings. Colorado is 24-8-2 at home, but Nashville is tied for fifth in Team Volatility and will likely be a road favorite. Nashville should come away with a one or two goal win in this one. |

03-16-18 | Sharks +120 v. Flames | 7-4 | Win | 120 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units
Five points separate the Sharks and the Flames in the Pacific Division. San Jose has won the last two meetings and have a +23 to +17 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Neither team has been hot lately, both hovering around .500 over their last ten. This is noted by their “average” versus “average up” status on the Team Strength Oscillator. Calgary has been significantly better on the road than at home and the Sharks are above .500 on the road. Look for the Sharks to take their third straight from the Flames. |

03-16-18 | Stars -140 v. Senators | 2-3 | Loss | -140 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ottawa is out of the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, while the Stars are in the middle of the pack in the Central Division. The Senators won the first meeting between the teams by a 3-2 score as a road underdog. Dallas is +21 on the Power Ranking Indicator with an “average” status, while the Ottawa is 0 and “ice cold down”. They are also tenth in Team Volatility and as a home underdog, doesn’t bode well. Look for Dallas to even the season series |

03-16-18 | Islanders v. Capitals -210 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In a match up of teams on the opposite sides of the standings, the Capitals are first in the Metropolitan and the Islanders are next to last. Washington holds a commanding +20 to +4 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and “average down” versus “dead” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The teams have split the series so far, both winning as home favorites. That trend will continue with a home win for Washington in this one. |

03-15-18 | Capitals -137 v. Islanders | 7-3 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating; 2 Units The Washington Capitals are not going to win a third consecutive Presidents' Trophy but they are in a tug-of-war with two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh for first place in the Metropolitan Division. The Capitals will look to win three in a row for the first time in two months when they visit the New York Islanders tonight. New York spiraled out of playoff contention with an eight-game losing streak (0-4-4). |

03-15-18 | Blue Jackets +110 v. Flyers | 5-3 | Win | 110 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sergei Bobrovsky posted his eighth win in 12 decisions after turning aside 38 shots in Monday's 5-2 triumph over Montreal, and the two-time Vezina Trophy winner has dominated his former team to the tune of posting a 9-3-1 career mark with two shutouts. The Flyers defeated Bobrovsky in a pair of meetings in February, but have slumped to a 1-5-1 mark in March. Petr Mrazek made 19 saves to highlight his Philadelphia debut in a 2-1 victory over the Blue Jackets on Feb. 22, but has yielded 22 goals for an .878 save percentage in his last six outings. |

03-13-18 | Oilers +148 v. Flames | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flames need to locate their offense as the club has mustered just 15 goals during its last seven contests (2-4-1) to drop on the wrong side of the postseason picture in the Western Conference. While Johnny Gaudreau is riding a four-game point streak (one goal, five assists), Edmonton captain Connor McDavid increased his run to seven (six goals, seven assists) by scoring two goals and setting up another as the team collected its third straight win with a 4-1 triumph over Minnesota on Saturday. The reigning Hart Trophy recipient torched the Flames with a hat trick on opening night before setting up a goal in each of the other two encounters, capped by scoring in the third round of the shootout in the Oilers' 4-3 win on Jan. 25. |

03-11-18 | Islanders v. Flames -170 | 5-2 | Loss | -170 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames registered five of six possible points on their recent road trip and look to gain more ground in the playoff race when they start a three-game homestand against the struggling New York Islanders today. The Flames earned a point in Pittsburgh before knocking off Buffalo along with Ottawa to end the trip and sit two points out of the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. The Flames play eight of their last 13 games at home and take on an Islanders’ squad that has lost eight consecutive games (0-4-4). New York sits nine points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference after losing the first two contests on its four-game trip in overtime and falling 2-1 in a shootout Thursday at Edmonton. |

03-11-18 | Bruins -152 v. Blackhawks | 1-3 | Loss | -152 | 2 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brad Marchand recorded two assists in the win to give him 11 of his team-leading 69 points in the last five games and is expected to avoid league discipline after striking Chicago's Anthony Duclair in the head during a collision. The Bruins scored four times on the power play in the victory and will look for similar production in the rematch with the Blackhawks, who have dropped five of their last seven games and coughed up leads in the past two. Chicago, which is almost certain to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2007-08, has surrendered 27 goals over its last six contests. Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews scored his 19th goal Saturday, giving him three tallies to go along with three assists in his last five games. |

03-10-18 | Penguins -106 v. Maple Leafs | 2-5 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs hope to avoid a fifth consecutive loss when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins today. Toronto fell to 0-2-2 over its last four games with Monday's 5-3 setback in Buffalo but is riding a nine-game home winning streak. Leo Komarov ended his 12-game drought by scoring a pair of goals in the loss by the Maple Leafs, who sit comfortably in third place in the Atlantic Division - 12 points ahead of Florida and seven behind Boston. Pittsburgh, which owns a one-point lead over Washington for first place in the Metropolitan, is riding a three-game winning streak after rolling to a 5-2 victory in Philadelphia on Wednesday. |

03-10-18 | Blues v. Kings -151 | 7-2 | Loss | -151 | 5 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Kings have won seven of their last 10 to remain in the mix with their California rivals in the congested Pacific Division. The Kings look to continue their ascent while handing the slumping St. Louis Blues yet another setback today when the Western Conference foes meet at Staples Center. St. Louis sat six points ahead of Los Angeles on Feb. 11 before its offense went limp during a disastrous 1-7-2 stretch, with the team mustering two goals or fewer on eight occasions. |

03-10-18 | Capitals v. Sharks -135 | 2-0 | Loss | -135 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Capitals will try to avoid a winless jaunt through the state of California when they conclude a three-game road trip with a visit to the San Jose Sharks today afternoon. The Capitals managed just one goal in losses to Anaheim and Los Angeles to fall one point behind Pittsburgh for first place in the Metropolitan Division. Washington also was swept in the same three-game trek a year ago and has dropped its last seven games (0-6-1) in California. San Jose blanked St. Louis 2-0 on Thursday to improve to 3-1-0 on the six-game home stand as it continues to jockey with Anaheim for second place in the Pacific Division. |

Rating: 2 Units Where Colorado has been better is at home as its 23-8-2 record at the Pepsi Center is among the league's best, and it is 13-1-1 in its last 15 there since a 3-1 loss to Arizona on Dec. 27. The Coyotes are coming off a 2-1 victory at Vancouver on Wednesday and are 9-2-2 over its last 13 games, but remain last in the NHL with 53 points. The teams split the first two of three meetings this season as Carl Soderberg scored twice in Colorado's 6-2 victory in Arizona on Dec. 23 - his first of three two-goal games this season with the last coming Thursday. |

03-10-18 | Jets +101 v. Flyers | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers have both raised expectations and anxiety levels with pronounced winning and winless streaks this season. Following a red-hot 10-0-1 run to end February with an 0-4-1 start to March, the Flyers continue their stretch against formidable foes this afternoon when they host the surging Winnipeg Jets at Wells Fargo Center. While Philadelphia has yet to taste victory this month, Winnipeg has won all four of its contests in March and improved to 3-0-0 on its season-high six-game road trip with a 3-2 triumph over New Jersey. NHL Second Star of the Week Patrik Laine scored his eight goal in four contests to extend his point streak to 10 games (14 goals, six assists) for the Jets, who are 9-2-0 in their last 11 overall and 7-0-1 in their last eight on the road. |

Rating: 2 Units Eric Staal is enjoying the fruits of a torrid stretch and the Minnesota Wild are doing the same with wins in seven of their last nine to ascend into third place in the Central Division. Staal and the Wild look to remain white-hot when they visit the Pacific Northwest bidding to salvage the finale of their three-game season series versus the Vancouver Canucks. |

03-09-18 | Flames -150 v. Senators | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames hope to put together a winning streak following an 0-3-1 slide and move closer to a playoff berth in the Western Conference when they conclude their three-game road trip today against the Ottawa Senators. Calgary halted its skid with Wednesday's 5-1 triumph in Buffalo and is involved in a tight battle for the second wild-card spot, as well as second and third place in the Pacific Division. Sean Monahan was one of four members of the Flames to record a goal and an assist against the Sabres, ending his four-game point drought, and is one tally shy of matching the career high of 31 he set in 2014-15. Ottawa squandered a pair of one-goal leads Thursday and went on to suffer a 4-3 loss to Buffalo in a shootout. The Senators are just two points ahead of the Sabres, who occupy the basement in the Eastern Conference, but have two games in hand. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Capitals v. Kings -131 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 24 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington is in a battle on top of the Metropolitan Division, while the Kings are hovering in the middle of the Pacific Division. Los Angeles took the first meeting between the teams as a road underdog. The teams are nearly even on the Power Ranking Indicator, but the Kings have been better lately, “burning hot” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Going strictly with the trend, I pick the Kings battle to a win, perhaps in overtime. |

03-08-18 | Blues v. Sharks -145 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The this Western Conference battle, the Blues are near the bottom in the Central Division, while the Sharks are second in the Pacific Division. San Jose won the last meeting as a road underdog and have a +26 to +13 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. The Blues are just 2-6-2 over the last ten, giving them a “dead up” status. St. Louis is also fifth in Team Volatility and as the road underdog, further strengthens the argument to go with the Sharks. Look for San Jose to take this one by two or more goals. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Hurricanes v. Blackhawks -120 | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 22 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Neither teams look to be making the post season and currently playing mediocre, at best. Chicago won the last meeting as a road underdog, but the Hurricanes have a +14 to +8 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. A similar advantage is seen on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Hurricanes are hovering around .500 on the road, as are the Black Hawks at home. Simply because they are at home, I will go with the Black Hawks in a one goal game. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Golden Knights -138 v. Red Wings | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 21 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Vegas has a comfortable lead in the Pacific Division, while the Red Wings are struggling to get to .500. Detroit took the last meeting by a 6-3 score as a road underdog. Both teams are “ice cold down”, but Vegas has a huge +23 to +3 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Although the Red Wings are at home, there is little indication that they will be able to take down the Knights for the second time. Look for Vegas to kick it into gear heading towards the playoffs. |

03-07-18 | Penguins -105 v. Flyers | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Evgeni Malkin, who leads the Penguins with 37 goals and 82 points, scored a goal and set up two others on Monday as Pittsburgh skated to its eighth win in 11 outings with a 4-3 overtime triumph versus Calgary. The 2012 Hart Trophy recipient has recorded 43 points (22 goals, 21 assists) in his last 24 games to remain hot on the heels of Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov for the scoring lead. The Penguins' torrid stretch has them one point ahead of Philadelphia, which has answered a 10-0-1 run to end February by being outscored 14-8 en route to posting an 0-2-1 mark in March. |

03-07-18 | Flames v. Sabres +127 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames have remained in the postseason chase mainly on the strength of their superb play away from home, but that success has diminished over the past two weeks and so has the team's playoff chances. Calgary looks to end a four-game losing streak (0-3-1) when it resumes a three-game road trip at the Buffalo Sabres tonight. Calgary has dropped three straight away from home to tumble into fifth place in the Pacific Division and 11th in the Western Conference with 15 games remaining. The Sabres are mired in last place in the East but have won three of their last four, knocking off the top three teams in the Atlantic Division in that span |

03-06-18 | Hurricanes v. Wild -153 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The 37-22-8 Minnesota Wild (81 points) are locked in a battle for third place in the Central Division, with the Dallas Stars (80 points), as they get set to welcome the 29-26-11 Carolina Hurricanes to the Excel Energy Center. The Wild bounced back from ugly road losses at Arizona (5-3) and Colorado (7-1) with a 4-1 home victory over the Red Wings and with a home mark of 23-5-6, have lost a league-low five times in regulation on home ice. Carolina is kicking off a three-game road trip Tuesday and was denied a third consecutive victory when it fell to visiting Winnipeg 3-2 on Sunday. That loss caused them to fall two points behind Columbus for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference (Hurricanes have 69 points and the Blue Jackets have 71). Minnesota's home record gives them the edge . |

03-06-18 | Stars v. Predators -165 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Nashville Predators have been steamrolling through their schedule of late and look to keep moving forward when they begin a four-game home stand today against the Central Division-rival Dallas Stars. Nashville is hoping to set a franchise record with its ninth straight victory and move ahead of Tampa Bay, which it trails by one point in the race for the Presidents' Trophy with a game in hand. The Predators, who have won eight in a row for the first time since Oct. 5-25, 2005, concluded a four-game road trip Sunday with a 4-3 overtime triumph at Colorado in which Filip Forsberg scored 1:07 into the extra session. |

03-06-18 | Jets -155 v. Rangers | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is a revenge spot for Winnipeg as they took a rare home loss at the hands of the Rangers last month. They've had success here in MSG though, winning 19 of 32 visits since coming back into the league as the Atlanta Thrashers. The Jets are simply better in every facet of the game compared to NY. They are one of only two teams (Boston) to rank in the top five in both goals scored and allowed. The Rangers are just 4-7-1 their L12 home games w/ Henrik Lundqvist allowing 20 goals his L5 starts here. |

03-04-18 | Jets v. Hurricanes +104 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Today's contest features two teams squarely in playoff races, as the Hurricanes began Saturday holding onto the final Eastern Conference wild-card spot, albeit tied in points with Columbus and one point ahead of Florida. The Hurricanes have won back-to-back games, beating New Jersey 3-1 on Friday as Cam Ward made 25 saves one night after he stopped 21 shots in a victory at Philadelphia. The Jets sent G Steve Mason (concussion) to Manitoba of the AHL on a conditioning assignment Saturday, and he may rejoin Winnipeg at some point during the road trip. |

03-04-18 | Blackhawks v. Ducks -167 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rickard Rakell and defenseman Cam Fowler each recorded a goal and an assist against the Blue Jackets as the Ducks improved to 5-0-2 in their last seven at home. The 24-year-old Rakell, who leads the team with a career-high 53 points, has posted back-to-back multi-point performances and three in his last five contests. Chicago, which had lost seven straight away from home (0-6-1), is wrapping up a four-game road trip during which it is 1-2-0 after topping the Kings 5-3 on Saturday. Captain Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane registered a goal and two assists apiece as the Blackhawks overcame a 3-1 deficit in the third period to pull within 12 points of Anaheim for the second wild-card spot. |

03-03-18 | Rangers +171 v. Oilers | 3-2 | Win | 171 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oilers, who will miss the playoffs for the 11th time in 12 seasons, began their home stand with Thursday's 4-2 loss to Nashville in which captain Connor McDavid recorded a goal and an assist to increase his team-leading total to 77 points. New York is looking to finish perfect on its three-game swing through Western Canada after posting victories in Vancouver and Calgary. Newly acquired center Ryan Spooner recorded a goal and an assist Friday as the Rangers recorded a 3-1 triumph over the Flames. Henrik Lundqvist registered 50-save performances in each of the two wins for New York, which is only five points out of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference despite having a fire sale prior to last Monday's trade deadline. |

03-03-18 | Blackhawks v. Kings -168 | 5-3 | Loss | -168 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Kings aim to extend their winning streak to four games overall and complete a regular-season sweep of the Chicago Blackhawks today when the clubs meet at the Staples Center. Jonathan Quick turned aside 51 of 53 shots to help the Kings collect a pair of 3-1 wins over the Blackhawks, and the goaltender has permitted two goals or fewer in six of his last seven appearances. Jeff Carter has returned from a 55-game absence due to a lacerated ankle tendon with a flourish, extending his goal-scoring streak to three contests as Los Angeles overcame an early two-goal deficit to post a 5-2 victory over Columbus on Thursday. The Blackhawks didn't appear ready in Thursday's 7-2 shellacking by the Sharks, extending their road losing skid to seven straight heading into the third contest of their four-game trek today. |

02-25-18 | Sharks v. Wild -148 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild have been a better team since the calendar turned to 2018 and look to continue their surge toward securing a playoff spot in the Western Conference when the San Jose Sharks pay a visit Sunday. The Wild have won three straight after Friday’s workmanlike 4-1 victory at the New York Rangers and own points in 18 of 22 games (14-4-4) since Jan. 1. The Wild edged ahead of Dallas for third in the Central Division Friday and the Sharks have dropped two in a row to sit in second place by just one point in the Pacific. San Jose was outscored 10-2 in the last two contests after winning five of the previous six and must get it’s offense going again, especially a power play that is 0-for-19 in an eight-game span. The Wild has won the last four meetings, including a 4-3 overtime triumph Dec. 10 with two goals and an assist from Staal. |

02-25-18 | Blues v. Predators -145 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues gained at least a point in 23 of their first 31 games this season and are suddenly fighting for their lives in the playoff race as they visit the red-hot Nashville Predators this afternoon. The Blues have dropped five straight contests (0-4-1) while managing only seven goals in the stretch after suffering a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Winnipeg at home Friday. The Blues are one point behind Anaheim for the second wild card in the Western Conference and 11 in back of Central Division leaders Winnipeg and Nashville, which comes in riding a three-game winning streak and boasting an 8-2-2 record in February. The Predators have posted 15 goals during their win streak, capped by a rousing 7-1 victory over San Jose on Thursday at home, where they are 21-7-3. |

02-24-18 | Ducks -158 v. Coyotes | 0-2 | Loss | -158 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Anaheim Ducks are starting to realize the potential that many believed would make them a Stanley Cup finals contender as they visit the improving Arizona Coyotes today. Anaheim shut out Dallas 2-0 on Wednesday for its season-high fourth straight victory, moving into third place in the Pacific Division with backup goaltender Ryan Miller a big reason for the uprising. The Ducks won the first two of four meetings this season - both in Anaheim - 5-4 in the season opener for both teams Oct. 5 and 5-2 on Dec. 31, giving them seven wins in the last eight encounters. While Arizona is 3-9-5 versus the Pacific. |

02-24-18 | Lightning -147 v. Canadiens | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning continue to post victories while showing weaknesses and hope for a better 60-minute performance tonight when they visit the Montreal Canadiens for an Atlantic Division battle. The Lightning have been outshot 73-43 in the first two legs of a three-game road trip, but came away with a 4-2 win at Washington on Tuesday and survived a rally to post a 4-3 triumph at Ottawa on Thursday. The Lightning have won three of four and lead the Atlantic Division by three points over Boston, which has three games in hand, and look to avenge a 2-1 shootout loss at Montreal on Jan. 4 when they registered 45 shots and allowed 38. The Canadiens snapped a six-game losing streak (0-4-2) with a 3-1 victory over the depleted New York Rangers on Thursday and are closer to the bottom of the Eastern Conference than a playoff position. |

Rating: 2 Units The Panthers sit five points out of the second wild-card spot in the East while Pittsburgh moved into first place in the Metropolitan Division on Friday after getting two goals from Phil Kessel in a 6-1 victory at Carolina. The Penguins have scored 29 goals during their season-high six-game winning streak, have earned at least one point in eight straight (7-0-1), are 11-1-1 in their last 12 and added another offensive weapon in a trade on Friday. Pittsburgh acquired center Derick Brassard from Ottawa in a three-team deal that makes the team very strong down the middle as it gears up for the playoffs. |

02-24-18 | Flyers -131 v. Senators | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers inserted recent trade acquisition Petr Mrazek into the lineup and didn't miss a beat, extending their winning and point streaks to four and 10 games (8-0-2), respectively. The Flyers take their show on the road for a matinee tilt today at Canadian Tire Centre against the Ottawa Senators, who have dropped three in a row. Wearing an all-white mask with his new team's logos, Mrazek put forth a colorful performance in his debut by turning aside 19 of 20 shots in Thursday's 2-1 triumph over Columbus. The 26-year-old Czech has shackled the Senators in six career meetings while with Detroit, posting a 4-0-2 mark while stopping 185 of 197 shots. |

Rating: 2 Units The Pittsburgh Penguins vie for their sixth consecutive victory overall and a split of the season series versus the Carolina Hurricanes today when the Metropolitan Division rivals reconvene at PNC Arena. The Penguins dropped the first two encounters between the clubs before skating to a 3-1 win on Jan. 23 to ignite their current 10-1-1 stretch. Evgeni Malkin has been front and center during Pittsburgh's torrid stretch by recording 21 points (12 goals, nine assists) in the past 11 games overall, including an assist in Sunday's 5-2 romp over Columbus to extend his point streak to four contests. The 2012 Hart Trophy winner leads the team in goals (33) and points (70), although he has been held off the score sheet and registered a minus-2 rating in three encounters versus Carolina this season. The Hurricanes have alternated three-game winning and losing streaks over their last 12 contests, with a pair of losses to New Jersey highlighting their current stumble |

02-23-18 | Wild -160 v. Rangers | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Staal, who leads the team with 54 points, has registered eight goals and nine assists in his last 15 games after netting a late tally in Thursday’s win as Minnesota improved to 5-1-2 in its last eight contests and occupies a playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Wild posted a 3-2 home win last week and exploded for seven goals in a road victory last season against the Rangers, who have dropped five straight and nine of their last 11 after suffering a 3-1 setback at Montreal on Thursday. The Rangers, who are six points out of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, made Michael Grabner a healthy scratch against the Canadiens and announced they traded their leading goal scorer to New Jersey after the game.

Rating: 2 Units Just as the New Jersey Devils appeared poised to fall off the pace in the Metropolitan, they have battled back into contention in the division by ripping off four consecutive victories. Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets are stumbling back in the pack with three straight losses as they prepare to visit the resurgent Devils tonight. New Jersey has alternated streaks over the past month, sandwiching a pair of four-game skids around winning three straight prior to the current four-game run that featured three victories away from home. The Blue Jackets were unable to keep pace with the red-hot Pittsburgh Penguins in a 5-2 home loss Sunday night, their eighth defeat in the last 10 games (2-6-2). |

02-20-18 | Canadiens v. Flyers -164 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 22 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers' offense has erupted for 30 goals during its eight-game point streak (6-0-2), but the franchise's age-old goaltending problem is back at the forefront after injuries to Brian Elliott and Michal Neuvirth. Rookie Alex Lyon likely will receive his third career start today as the Flyers face the Montreal Canadiens to open a two-game home stand. Lyon turned aside 25 of 26 shots in place of an injured Neuvirth in Sunday afternoon's 7-4 victory over the reeling New York Rangers. The 25-year-old Lyon recorded his first career victory for Philadelphia, which reportedly has engaged in talks with Detroit over goaltender Petr Mrazek. While the Flyers have posted a 22-8-3 mark since Dec. 4 to move into third place in the congested Metropolitan Division, Montreal is spiraling down the Atlantic with losses in five straight games overall and 11 of its last 12 away from home to fall to 8-19-1 on the road. |

02-19-18 | Ducks v. Golden Knights -147 | 2-0 | Loss | -147 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The expansion Vegas Golden Knights sit atop the NHL with 82 points and intend to stay there for a while as they look to complete a four-game sweep of the season series against the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Monday. The Golden Knights have won three straight contests after rolling to a 6-3 victory over Montreal on Saturday and own a comfortable lead in the Pacific Division. The Golden Knights have outscored the Ducks 11-6 in the three victories |

02-19-18 | Kings +109 v. Blackhawks | 3-1 | Win | 109 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units LA averages 2.8 GPG and it concedes 2.5. Overall the Kings have been dominant on the penalty kill this season, ranked third overall in staving off 83.4 percent of opposing chances. John Quick made 33 saves in the most recent victory over the Sabres. Chicago averages and concedes 2.9 GPG. The Blackhawks looked pretty good against the Capitals, but I’ll obviously caution in reading too much into one decent performance as it was Chicago’s first win in over a month. Additionally I’ll point out that the Kings are 4-1 in their last five against teams with losing records, while the Blackhawks are just 1-9 in their last ten when playing on one days rest. LA is still in the thick of a playoff berth, while Chicago’s inconsistent season can’t come to an end soon enough for Blackhawks’ fans. |

02-19-18 | Capitals -135 v. Sabres | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 3 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Capitals are 3-3-2 this month after earning points in 10 of their previous 12 contests (8-2-2) as they take on the Sabres, who have dropped their last two games after beating East-leading Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Buffalo was outshot 19-8 in the first period and gave up three goals in the second session to fall behind by four before settling for a 4-2 setback against Los Angeles on Saturday. Buffalo G Robin Lehner is 1-2-2 with an .877 save percentage in his last five starts. |
|||||||
02-19-18 | Wild v. Islanders +115 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Islanders are wrapping up a stretch during which it plays seven of nine at home and have gone 3-2-1 at Barclays Center in that span. New York is coming off back-to-back shutout victories in which its goaltenders starred, as Jaroslav Halak made 50 saves against the New York Rangers on Thursday while Thomas Greiss stopped 45 shots in Carolina the following night. Minnesota concluded a 2-1-2 home stand on Saturday with a 3-2 loss to Anaheim that was decided in the 11th round of the shootout. Jason Zucker scored his 23rd goal of the season in the setback, eclipsing the career high he set last campaign. |
|||||||
02-18-18 | Panthers +180 v. Jets | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets are 5-2-1 on their season-long homestand as they take on the Panthers, who knocked off Calgary 6-3 on Saturday to improve to 7-1-0 in their last eight contests and 3-0-0 with 17 goals on a five-game trip. All-Star center Aleksander Barkov has played a big role in Florida’s run with four goals and 10 points over the past seven contests. James Reimer, who has won his last two starts, is likely to be back in net after Roberto Luongo (30 saves) earned the win Saturday in his first game in more than two months because of a lower-body injury. The Panthers have won four of the last six meetings, including a 6-4 triumph in Sunrise, Fla., on Dec. 7. |

02-18-18 | Penguins +109 v. Blue Jackets | 5-2 | Win | 109 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pittsburgh Penguins continue their quest for first place in the Metropolitan Division today as they seek a fifth consecutive victory when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets. Pittsburgh posted its 11th straight home win on Saturday, a 5-3 triumph over Toronto that extended its point streak to six games (5-0-1) and moved it within one point of division-leading Washington. Evgeni Malkin has been on fire for the Penguins, collecting 12 goals and eight assists over his last 10 games while being kept off the scoresheet just once in that span. The 31-year-old Russian, who is a two-time Art Ross Trophy winner, is among the league scoring leaders and tops Pittsburgh with 69 points. |
|||||||
02-18-18 | Devils +151 v. Hurricanes | 3-2 | Win | 151 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
p>Rating: 2 Units The Carolina Hurricanes attempt to shut down Taylor Hall and avenge a recent loss when they host the Metropolitan Division-rival New Jersey Devils today. Carolina, which is one point back in the race for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference, has dropped two straight games - including Thursday's 5-2 setback at New Jersey. The Hurricanes are in the midst of a stretch during which they play 11 of 12 at home and fell to 5-3-1 at PNC Arena in that span with Friday's 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders. Hall notched an assist in the Devils' 4-3 victory at Tampa Bay on Saturday to extend his point streak to 17 games. The 26-year-old left wing has collected 11 goals and 14 assists during his franchise-record run and leads the team with 61 points. New Jersey has won three in a row following a four-game slide and occupies the first wild-card spot in the East. |

02-18-18 | Flyers -126 v. Rangers | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers look to extend their point streak to eight games and continue ascending in the Metropolitan Division this afternoon when they visit the struggling New York Rangers. The Flyers, who suffered through a 10-game losing streak earlier this season, are 5-0-2 in their last seven outings after Sean Couturier’s goal clinched a 2-1 overtime victory at Columbus on Friday. The Rangers are fading out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture with seven defeats in the past nine games overall. New York, which is playing without four of its top seven defensemen due to injuries, fell 6-3 at Ottawa on Saturday afternoon for its third straight loss and sits five points out of the second wild-card spot. Philadelphia G Michal Neuvirth is 3-0-1 with a .946 save percentage since taking over for injured G Brian Elliott (lower-body). |

02-17-18 | Bruins -175 v. Canucks | 1-6 | Loss | -175 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins have been inching closer to the Tampa Bay Lightning for the top point total in the NHL but face a rugged stretch when they open a five-game road trip at the Vancouver Canucks tonight. Playing away from home may not be an issue for the surging Bruins, who have won seven straight on the road as part of a 13-game road point streak. Boston has won 20 of its last 25 overall (20-2-3) to move within three points of the Lightning with three games in hand and is 11-0-2 away from home since its last regulation road loss on Dec. 4 at Nashville. Boston has a chance to pad its 16-5-4 road record against the Canucks, who have dropped six of their last seven and are next-to-last in the Western Conference. Vancouver gave up four first-period goals in a 6-3 loss at Boston on Oct. 19 as Patrice Bergeron made a splashy season debut with a four-point effort in what was an omen of things to come. |

The Capitals halted a two-game skid and extended their point streak to five games (3-0-2) behind superstar Alex Ovechkin, who had a goal and three assists in Thursday's 5-2 win at Minnesota.

02-17-18 | Oilers v. Coyotes +107 | 0-1 | Win | 107 | 2 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The cellar-dwelling Arizona Coyotes seek their first four-game winning streak of the season as they continue their season-high seven-game home stand this afternoon against the Pacific Division-rival Edmonton Oilers. Arizona, which sits in the league basement - three points behind Buffalo, also is riding a point streak that reached five games (4-0-1) with Thursday's 5-2 triumph over Montreal. Brendan Perlini scored twice in a 19-second span early in the second period for his second two-goal performance of the season and is one tally behind team leader Clayton Keller, who opened the scoring in the opener of the home stand with his 17th. Edmonton is only eight points ahead of the Coyotes as it dropped a 4-1 decision at Vegas on Thursday to extend its losing streak to five games, with four of the setbacks coming on the road. |

Rating: 2 Units Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne silenced the St. Louis Blues earlier this season by recording a pair of victories after turning aside 63 of the 64 shots he faced. Rinne aims to keep the Blues under his thumb as the first-place Predators host their Central Division rival for the first time this season when they open a four-game homestand Rinne drew rave reviews from his teammates after helping Nashville improve to 10-1-3 in its last 14 games, making a season-high 47 saves and thwarting all three shootout attempts in Saturday's 3-2 win over Montreal. "He was there all night long, making these post-to-post ,cross-ice saves. |

02-13-18 | Devils v. Flyers -150 | 5-4 | Loss | -150 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units While the Eagles overcame a switch at quarterback to win the Super Bowl, the Flyers seamlessly shuffled goaltenders as Michal Neuvirth turned aside 38 shots in place of the injured Brian Elliott (undisclosed) in Sunday's 4-1 triumph versus Vegas. The Flyers are 20-8-2 on the heels of their 10-game winless streak while the Devils' four-game losing skid dipped their mark to 5-11-3 since Dec. 29.

02-13-18 | Lightning -169 v. Sabres | 3-5 | Loss | -169 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units While Kucherov has posted six goals, eight assists and a plus-13 rating in 16 career games against the Sabres, Tampa Bay will seek a better defensive effort after allowing 15 tallies over their last four contests. The Lightning won the first meeting this season 2-0 on Nov. 28 at Buffalo, which will be without leading scorer Jack Eichel for the second straight game due to an ankle injury that will sideline him for at least a month. Buffalo had won two straight games before suffering a 5-4 loss to Colorado on Sunday and is just 7-16-4 on home ice this season. The Lightning have won the last five meetings, outscoring the Sabres 15-6 during that stretch. |
|||||||
02-11-18 | Bruins -154 v. Devils | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With their overall winning streak now a thing of the past, the Boston Bruins look to continue their road dominance when they visit the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. Boston had its string of overall wins snapped at four with Saturday's 4-2 loss to Buffalo but is riding a six-game road winning streak and is 10-0-2 away from home since falling at Nashville on Dec. 4. Brad Marchand leads the Bruins in scoring (52 points) and carries a six-game point streak during which he has collected three goals and eight assists into Sunday's contest.

02-10-18 | Blackhawks v. Wild -146 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Locked in a battle for the second wild card in the Western Conference, the Wild coughed up a three-goal lead in a 4-3 loss to the Coyotes, although they managed to run their point streak to 11 games (8-0-3). Today's matchup is the opener of a three-game road trip for the Blackhawks, which might not be a bad thing given their head-scratching struggles on home ice. Chicago arrives in Minnesota mired in a four-game losing streak (0-3-1) and having dropped six in a row at home to remain anchored in the Central Division cellar. Chicago has scored first in eight of its last nine games, including all four contests during the current skid, but is 2-5-2 in that span. |

Rating: 2 Units The Anaheim Ducks have recorded at least a point in 14 of their last 20 games (12-6-2) to remain in the mix for second place in the congested Pacific Division. The Ducks look to continue to push forward today when they host the Edmonton Oilers in the latter's first trip to the Honda Center since losing Game 7 of their epic second-round series in last year's playoffs. Anaheim has won six of its last seven at home while Edmonton has dropped five of its last seven on the road. |

02-09-18 | Penguins v. Stars -113 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |

All-Star center Tyler Seguin scored twice in the victory over the Blackhawks and has posted at least one in four straight contests to push his team-leading total to 28 while reaching 50 points.

|||||||
02-09-18 | Blues v. Jets -153 | 5-2 | Loss | -153 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Winnipeg Jets are rolling along with points in eight straight games (6-0-2) and they get a key player back in the lineup tonight when they host the Central Division-rival St. Louis Blues. Center Mark Scheifele, who is still fourth on the team in scoring despite missing the last 16 contests with an upper-body injury, will return to top-line duty as Winnipeg tries to extend its home point streak to 11 games. Scheifele (15 goals, 38 points) has skated on a line with Patrik Laine and Blake Wheeler this week, giving the Jets another offensive weapon on a team that ranked fifth in the league entering Friday at 3.22 goals per game. The Jets have won seven of the last eight meetings. |

02-09-18 | Blue Jackets v. Capitals -134 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Columbus Blue Jackets are mired in a four-game skid and their latest loss, coming at the hands of a division rival, was described by coach John Tortorella as a "kick in the stomach." Columbus gets a chance to avenge that defeat when it hits the road for a rematch against the Metropolitan-leading Washington Capitals tonight. The Blue Jackets dominated the first leg of the home-and-home set with Washington, only to give up the go-ahead goal in the final minute of a 3-2 setback to match their longest losing streak of the season. Blue Jackets G Sergei Bobrovsky has lost five straight to the Capitals, dropping his record against them to 6-9-4 with a 3.07 goals-against average. |
