Picking the NHL winners for Saturday, February 28th, 2015.
My magical post all-star run came to a screeching halt last weekend as I went 3 for 6. It was a tough evening for NHL bettors, heck even the Leafs won… But tonight is an opportunity to start another hot streak. The past month has been really rough for many teams as star players have been dropping like flies. Patrick Kane, Tyler Seguin, and Blake Wheeler are a few of the big names that have been sidelined with injuries. My record currently stands at 23 – 7 which is not too shabby, however, I think 29 – 7 sounds better… so let’s #GETTHATMONEY.
Record: 23 – 7
Buffalo @ Florida (3pm ET)
The Florida Panthers come into this game having lost their last four games. However, they haven’t played the easiest opponents as three of those games were against the Pens and Blackhawks (twice). The Panthers also acquired a living legend in the great Jaromir Jagr a few days ago. I like the move for Florida as Jagr will add much needed stability to the lineup. The Sabres have won two straight including a 6 – 3 offensive explosion versus the Canucks on Thursday. The Panthers can’t afford to drop points here as they currently trail the Bruins for the last wild card spot. A matchup with the Sabres should end their current losing streak and get them back on track. Roberto Luongo will be elated not to see the likes of Jonathan Toews or Sidney Crosby in this one… Chris Stewart, now that’s much better.
Key Stat: Sabres are 1 – 6 in the last seven meetings.
Pick: Florida – Home Team Win – H
Detroit @ Nashville (3pm ET)
The Red Wings end their current six game road trip in Nashville this afternoon. Detroit has played extremely well on this trip going 3-1-1 thus far. A major reason for their success is the play of the magic man AKA Pavel Datsyuk. Magic man has eight points on this current road trip and the Predators will look to give him a heavy dose of Shea Weber. Nashville has been on somewhat of a mini-slump as they have lost three of their last five games including a rare home loss to the Wild on Thursday. However, the Predators are still a remarkable 26-4-1 at home and fatigue maybe a factor here as the Red Wings haven’t been home at the Joe in a while. Give me the Predators in this one as I can’t imagine them dropping two straight at home.
Key Stat: Home team is 6 – 2 in the last eight meetings.
Pick: Nashville – Home Team Win – H
