NHL Picks

We have got two picks today:

Carolina Hurricanes @ Florida Panthers

Fifth meeting between the clubs and each of them have two wins in four games. In the last meeting on Jan 3rd, Florida Panthers had won 4-3 in Carolina. Canes had beaten the Panthers with the same score back in December in Florida.

Panthers lost on home ice on Wednesday night when they faced the Thrashers. Despite outshooting their opponents 35-31, powerplay failed for the Panthers on two chances which could have made the difference in a 3-2 defeat. 

Powerplay has been a huge problem for the Panthers this season. They are the worst powerplay team in the league at 9.3%

Canes are coming off a loss in New York against the Rangers. They have two losses in last five games. 

Carolina will have to play without Tlusty, Jokinen and Pitkanen as these players have been injured.->Read more »

Two premium NHL picks tonight:

Calgary Flames @ Vancouver Canucks

Canucks have been amazing lately. They are 25-8-5 overall and 13-3-2 at home this season. In addition, they have gone 9-0-1 in their last 10 games. They beat San Jose Sharks 4-3 at HP Pavillion on Monday night after beating the Avalanche and Dallas Stars in a three game road trip.

Flames had won four in a row themselves but they had a disappointing and very surprising 5-2 home loss against the NY Islanders on Monday. They had 43 shots on goal but it didn't help them in the end.

This will be the second meeting between the clubs this season. Canucks destroyed the Flames 7-2 in December at Pengrowth Saddledome. 

When we look at the games between them in Vancouver in recent seasons, we see that the Canucks have dominated the Flames going 7-3 in last 10 games. They had 7-3 and 3-1 wins last season at home against the Flames.->Read more »
