It was quite the crazy night of hockey last night with a lot of close and fun games.
The Habs got back on the winning track with a great battling performance against the Rangers. Sens got a gritty win on the road in New Jersey and the Jets/Leafs had a blast out there with the Leafs winning 5-4 in overtime.
The later games were also good with Flames/Preds just crazy. What a 2nd period that was for Nashville only to lose the game. Amazing. The Preds are such a disappointment this season and there’s been so many games where they’ve dropped leads it’s crazy.
The Blackhawks got a big win against the Wild. Dubnyk pulled off 34 saves but still got beat multiple times as the Hawks won 5-3.
Onto tonight and just 3 games. We’ve got picks in two of them.
Bruins vs Ducks Betting Tips:
Since the coaching change the Bruins have been on fire. They come into this one on a 4 game winning streak and are one of only 4 teams to come off the bye week with a win.
The Ducks have been fairly inconsistent this season although Gibson has been damn solid. In saying that Rask on the road has been very good with a 15-6-4 record and a .922 save percentage.
If Rask is in net we’ll take the Bruins to continue their win streak because they just look the more consistent team. Bruins to win incl OT/SO.

Capitals vs Flyers Betting Tips:
The Capitals come into this one off the back of two losses. They lost to the Red Wings in a shootout coming off the bye week and they then lost to the Rangers. Those were two tough games. We’re banking on the Capitals to turn things around here with a win over Philly. They want to keep that distance between them and the Pens. We saw the way they schooled Philly back in January and are banking on a similar performance.

For the Oilers/Panthers game we were tempted by the Over 5.5. However the Panthers seem to play to their opponents in terms of goalscoring – and we couldn’t rely on the Oilers to score too much.
