The St. Louis Blues march into Western New York tonight to take on the Buffalo Sabres. St. Louis is 8-1-1 over its last 10 and is scoring 4.40 goals per game over that stretch. Jordan Binnington will start in net for the Blues. He brought a Stanley Cup to St. Louis in 2019 but has taken a back seat to Ville Husso this season. Binnington is not in his best form currently with a 3.79 GAA and .881 SV% in his last 5 starts, while also only winning one of those games.
Took a few days off of NHL picks due to the start of the MLB season. Should have baseball picks soon. Back to the NHL!
Carolina Hurricanes @ New York Rangers
Carolina has clinched a playoff spot, New York should clinch theirs in the next few games. Both teams are allowing under 2.7 goals per game over their last 10. Both expected starting goalies are also having Vezina-caliber seasons. Igor Shesterkin is sporting a .935 SV% while Frederik Andersen has an equally impressive .925 SV%. Amazingly they both are allowing only 2.07 GAA on the season. These teams are very evenly matched, separated by 2 points. I think the Rangers get this done in front of their home crowd.

Seattle’s inaugural season has not gone according to plan. The amazing debut season of the Vegas Golden Knights probably spoiled us into thinking any expansion team could do what they did. But alas, the Kraken reside at the depths of the Pacific Division standings, with only Davey Jones and his locker to keep them company. Meanwhile St. Louis is having another solid season. They sit in 3rd place in the Central Division, 4 points clear of the next wild card team. However, one must never rest on one’s laurels, as the Blues are being chased by four quality teams.

Happy Tuesday! We have a big slate of games on the NHL docket today. Let’s begin with a game that will be studied for years to come on how NOT to play defense. On the season Columbus and Philadelphia rank 30th (3.73ga/g) and 27th (3.51ga/g) in goals against per game. Things haven’t improved for them as of late. Over their last 10 games, Columbus is allowing 4.1 ga/g and 34.4 shots against/game. Philly is letting up 4.0 ga/g and 35.3 sa/g over that same period. Wait til you get a load of the numbers the two expected starting goalies are giving up.

Happy Monday folks! Today we will be taking a look at a matchup of two teams going in opposite directions. The Bruins have been DOMINANT over their last 10 games, going 8-2-0 with a +15 goal differential. Meanwhile the Jackets are stuck in a downward spiral. They are suffering through a 6-game losing streak, going 3-5-2 over their last 10 with a -12 GD (ouch). Boston will turn to Linus Ullmark to continue their winning ways, while Columbus will hope Elvis Merzlikins can stop its slide towards the bottom of the standings.
