Chicago Blackhawks over Detroit Red Wings 1st 60 Minutes ONLY: Howard will get his 1st start in goal for Det since Dec 20th when he went down with an injury. Det were sellers at the deadline and will miss the playoffs for the first time in 25 years. Chic had a 7 game win streak snapped at home last night losing to Ana 1-0. It was hardly a poor performance after being off 4 days. The dominated the game outshot Ana 43-26 and ran into a hot Bernier. Playing on zero days rest has not been an issue for Chic going 9-2-1 on the year.

Calgary Flames over Detroit Red Wings 1st 60 Minutes ONLY: Not prepared to get off this Cal train yet. Even at this price at home we get value. Cal is in full playoff push 5 wins in a row 10-2-1 in their last 13. Det is not used to being in this situation. They were sellers at the trade deadline and the playoffs are not likely. They traded their #2 scorer in Vanek. The road trip continues tomm in Edm. Cal can ill afford to take this team lightly and with the NYI on tap in 2 days there is no look ahead just win tonight.

Calgary Flames over Los Angeles Kings 1st 60 Minutes ONLY: We successfully played on as a gog Cal in their last game of the 5 game road trip in Car. Cal has won 4 in a row and went 4-0-1 on said trip. Usually a team returning from a road trip you do not play on but given the current form of Cal the improved play of Elliot and being able to spot less than home ice adv we get excellent value. Lak played last night in Minn lost in OT 5-4 after blowing a 3rd period lead. This will be La 4th game in 6 nights. Lak are 3-7 in their last 10 and 5-5-1 on zero days’ rest.

Calgary Flames over Carolina Hurricanes 1st 60 Minutes ONLY: Cal has underachieved all season mostly due to inconsistent goaltending but they have started their playoff drive battle with LA. Cal is 3-0-1 in their current road trip and will play the final game this aft. Car will be playing the role of spoiler. They are 1-5 in their last 6. Hainsey has been traded and more veterans will be on the way out before the deadline. They are also giving Lack and extended look in goal. His 884 save % says it all. Getting a take back with him in net Cal in good form gets us excellent value.

Chicago Blackhawks over Minnesota Wild 1st 60 Minutes ONLY: This play is not a fade against Minn. They are having an excellent season Dubnyk is playing great. However to be able to get this take back substantially more than home ice with Chic is excellent value. This is a big game as far as the regular season is concerned. Chic has been involved with many and will not be fazed one bit. It is not like Chic is not in good form they are. We will lose this game more than 50% of the time but at this number we still get great value.

Chicago Blackhawks over Buffalo Sabres 1st 60 Minutes ONLY: Chic came off their bye yesterday at home and lost to Edm 3-1. Considering the bye they were not bad but will be even sharper tonight. Prior to the bye Chic had won 5 in a row. On zero days rest they are 7-2-1. Buff has won 3 in a row after winning yest a home against Stl 3-2. This has Buff stock higher than it should be. Buff will play its’ 4th game in 6 nights. They are 4-5-1 on zero days’ rest. Buff takes a big step up in class against Chic who will be focused off their loss Sat.

Minnesota Wild over Nashville Predators 1st 60 Minutes ONLY: Not often we will spot this price on a hockey game but it is warranted for this match-up. Nash comes off its’ bye week. Teams coming off this vacation are 2-10 this year. WE also get a substantial adv with home ice and in net. Nash has Colu on tap tomm. Minn has the #1 ranked home PP and will go up against the 19th ranked road PK of Nash. Nash is 8-10 going up against top 10 teams.

Chicago Blackhawks over Winnipeg Jets 1st 60 Minutes ONLY: Chic is clearly the better team that does not mean they will win a one game event but it does give us value at this price. Secondly Winn surprisingly has won all 4 games this year between the 2. Winn will get Chic best effort it will be reminded to Chic where this series is at. It is very very difficult for a weaker team to sweep a series against a better team. Lastly Winn is 4-14 against top 10 teams this year.

Los Angeles Kings over Tampa Bay Lightning 1st 60 Minutes ONLY: Lak are coming off a 5-0 loss to Wash and that partially has this line lower than it should be. Lak outshot Wash that game 38-20 and have outshot their last 8 opponents. Tb is 3-7 in their last 10 they are not in good form. I have this game at 1.18 giving us excellent value.
