Why These Picks?
‍
VAN Canucks v CHI Blackhawks: The Blackhawks have lost their last 5 straight games to the Canucks in regulation. Chicago had a great outing against the St. Louis Blues a couple days ago, but Vancouver is an entirely different beast in my opinion. The Blackhawks are on a day’s rest and at home, so I don’t expect them to get shutout by any stretch. I'm tossing a wager on the Over to cash (especially with Kevin Lankinen in net...) and despite Vancouver playing this game on a back to back, they’re fresh off a win over the Dallas Stars. I say they carry that momentum into tonight’s game. I’m on Vancouver and their offense to snag a victory without the need for OT.
‍
SJ Sharks v UTA Mammoth: This set of picks really boils down to a couple of painful truths – one, the Utah Mammoth have been terrible on a Power Play. Regardless of how many penalties I think they may rack up tonight, their ability to convert during a 5 on 4 has been less than “mid”. Two, the Sharks have lost all of their games so far this season, and I fully expect tonight to deliver yet another with Yaroslav Askarov in goal (6.93 GAA). I’ll take the Under to cash, but I’ll also snag the Mammoth to cover the PL.
