think it was Wesley who wanted this. I signed up for a free week of picks so I will post em for a week, see how he does. This is C&P straight from the e-mail
Wednesday 1-2 (-1.66 unit)
Week to Date 9-7 (+4.68 units)
Current RUN 44-24 (+25.14 Units)
4**** Vancouver Canucks (-168) over Phoenix Coyotes The teams are meeting for only the second time this season, and the Coyotes are visiting GM Place for the first time this season. The Canucks will continue to try to bank points at home as they prepare for their 14 game Olympic induced road trip. The combo of Sedin and Burrows has proven to be advantageous as Burrow has 10 goals and 18 points in 22 games. The Coyotes will be without Martin Havlat and Scottie Upshall, which is two big hits for them. At 17-6-0, the Canucks have more home victories than any team other than Chicago. At the GM Place versus the Coyotes, Vancouver is 12-2-1 in their last 15 meetings and 17-4-1 with two ties since moving from Winnipeg to the Desert. (phoenix)
Take VANCOUVER.
3*** Nashville Predators (-172) over Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes will be without center Eric Staal tonight as they try for their third consecutive road win. They also will be without Erik Cole, Chad LaRose, Scott Walker, Joe Corvo, and possibly Sergei Samsonov. Cam Ward is the most likely starter for the Canes and is 6-14-5 with 3.03 GAA on the season and 0-2-0 with 3.02 GAA against the Predators. The Canes are 1-4-0 all-time at Nashville and the Preds have won 2 in a row and three of the last four in the series. Look for a strong outing from the Preds against injury plagued Carolina.
Take NASHVILLE
2** Detroit Red Wings (+115) over Los Angeles Kings
This is the second of four meetings this season as Detroit won the first matchup, 5-2. The Red Wings have held the upper hand over LA recently, winning five in a row overall against the Kings and four straight at Staples Center. Detroit has only lost twice in its last 21 contests against the Kings. Todd Bertuzzi has four points and is a plus-3 in his last five games for the Wings. Zetterberg and Cleary are aiming for their returns tonight. Detroit is second in the Western Conference with an average of 33.3 shots per game. Detroit looks to continue its domination of the Kings tonight.
Take DETROIT.
2** Montreal Canadiens (-140) over Florida Panthers
A tight matchup tonight occurs between two teams that are doing the same exact thing but differently. The Canadiens are 7-3-1 in games away from home in their last 11 as the Panthers are doing great at home and poorly on the road, as they have dropped the last 8 of 11. Canadiens will be looking to start Jaroslav Halak as he is 5-1-0 with 2.15 GAA in his last six starts overall and is 3-0-0 with a 3.25 GAA in three career games against the Panthers. The Canadiens also have the league’s top power-play unit in which they convert 25.0% in the man advantage and will look to take huge advantage of the Panthers low ranked penalty kill. (bottom third of NHL, 79.0%) Look for Stephen Weiss to step up and score in this game as Montreal has won six of seven meetings with Florida.
Take MONTREAL.
1* Edmonton Oilers (-130) over Columbus Blue Jackets
The worst two teams of the Western Conference head to war tonight as the Oilers look to extend the Jackets record road skid to 14 games. The teams have split the season series 1 a piece. Both clubs have just one win since December 10. There is not much to say other than poor performances all around. The Edmonton Oilers seem to be the more productive of the two and have been taking advantage of scoring opportunities unlike Columbus.
Take EDMONTON.
