Picking the winners for the NHL games on Saturday, March 14, 2015.
What a disastrous month it has been. My record has gone from godlike to above average and my fantasy teams are beginning to collapse. Hopefully I can get hot down the stretch when it matters most. More importantly, hopefully I can have a good day today and #GETTHATMONEY.
Record: 29 – 13
Detroit @ Philadelphia (1pm ET)
The Flyers are on the outside looking in as they currently trail the Bruins by 10 points for the final wild card spot. Add in the fact that they also have two games in hand on the Bees and you got yourself a MUST WIN game. Philly has played poorly over the past few weeks as they are currently on a four game losing streak. Their playoff chances are all but dead but you got to believe that they’re going to play with desperation in this one. On the other hand, the Red Wings currently hold a playoff spot and have played rather inconsistently as of late. Part of the reason for their inconsistency is the shaky play of Jimmy Howard who has had a 3.14 GAA over his last four games. I think the Flyers will show up for this one as they are the more desperate of the two teams. Additionally, Steve Mason has been playing well as of late whereas the same cannot be said about Howard. The big boys wills shine in this one… take the Flyers.
Key Stat: Red Wings are 0-7 in the last seven meetings in Philadelphia.
Pick: Philadelphia – Home Team Win – H
Drama in shark land? The San Jose Sharks currently sit out of the playoffs, albeit by a measly three points. They take on the Chicago Blackhawks this late afternoon in what should be a tantalizing matchup. The Blackhawks have really tightened up the back end since Patrick Kane went down with season ending injury. Chicago has only allowed three goals over their last three games. Furthermore, Corey Crawford has played very well over his last five games allowing only five goals. The Sharks have won four of their last five games as they look to sneak into the post-season. Antti Niemi has been red hot for the Sharks as he has stopped 74 of the last 75 shots sent his way. This game could very well go to OT. But I like the Sharks here. Hopefully Joe Thornton will shut his GM up with a solid performance… in a big game for once.
Key Stat: Blackhawks are 1-6 in the last seven meetings in San Jose.
Pick: San Jose – Home Team Win – H
