    Default Doc's NHL 3-17-09

    4 unit play. #10 Take Florida -110 (7:05 Eastern NHL Center Ice) The Capitols come into Florida after a 5-1 loss last night to a surging Atlanta team. Goalie Jose Theodure was pulled but looks like he will get the start tonight. Off of yesterday injury report Sergei Fedorov has the flu and now today defenseman Mike Green is listed with the Flu, I think it runs a little deeper then those two guys’. The Cap's before last nights loss were winners of three straight but before that were losers of four straight and after last night loss are losers of five of the last eight with some bad losses in there. I think the Cap's have some issues right now one of them being confidence in their goaltending and tonight get a rested Florida team where every point is so important after blowing a two goal lead vs. the Lighting. Florida for the most part is healthy and I think at minus ten cents is a bargain and they pick off a reeling Washington team at home tonight

    2 unit play. #22 Take Phoenix +170 over San Jose (10:05 Eastern NHL Center Ice) The Coyotes returned home on march 14 for a 2-0 shutout loss to Nashville for a bunch on new Coyotes home debut after a five game road trip in seven day's. That was a tough spot for them and it showed in only putting eight shots on goal for the first two periods. It was another good game by Phoenix goalie Ilya Bryzgalov who stopped 31 of 32 shots. Tonight the Sharks come to town after getting their star goalie Nabokov back who was outstanding in beating Anaheim. This Sharks team is still dealing with a lot of injuries and hasn't played consistent in weeks. I think we will get a good effort from the home doggy that is offering great value.

    2 unit play. #18 Take over 5 ½ in St. Louis @ Edmonton (10:05 Eastern NHL Center Ice) Pretty much a playoff in Edmonton tonight with these teams separated by one point. This is their 4th meeting this year with two staying under, both goalies have been work horses for their clubs. The Blues have been scoring and own the 8th best power play in the league, while Edmonton has struggle on both special teams lately. Unlike most playoff type games that are played tight I don't see this game shaping up like that, I think this will be open type hockey with a good pace. I do think the team that takes advantage of their power play chances will come out on top here. I think the odds maker has the number right at 5.5 but think there should be some money attached this over, gives us some value in what I think will be a high scoring game.
