Free NHL Picks: Rangers at Blackhawks Odds
by George Monroy - 1/7/2014
The Chicago Blackhawks may have lost two of their first three games of 2014, but the team remains the favorite to win this season's Stanley Cup title. Chicago dropped a game to the streaking New York Islanders last week and was bested during shootouts by San Jose Sharks on Sunday. However, the Blackhawks still sit atop the Central Division and are probably the most talented team in the league. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Hurricanes at Sabres Odds
by George Monroy - 1/6/2014
The Carolina Hurricanes are quietly on a tear after winning their last four games and creeping back into the playoff race in the Eastern Conference. Carolina is currently tied for the ninth spot in the standings and is one point behind the eighth and final playoff position in the East. The team's recent surge in play has come from solid defense and goaltending mixed with a couple of well-time goals on offense. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Stars at Islanders Odds
by George Monroy - 1/6/2014
The improving New York Islanders split the first two games of a three-game homestand and will be looking to end the stretch on a positive note with a win over the Dallas Stars on Monday night. New York heads out on a six-game road trip starting Tuesday that will not end until a Jan. 18 matchup against the Philadelphia Flyers. The team has played much better hockey over the last two weeks, but it is still sitting firmly near the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Devils at Sabres Odds
by George Monroy - 1/3/2014
The Buffalo Sabres are still on pace to barely crack the 50-point mark and earn the lowest NHL points total in the last 10 years. Buffalo has 26 points in the standings at the halfway mark of the season-the team played its 41st game on Thursday. However, the Sabres could have been in a much worse situation if not for a mini-surge that saw the squad play .500 hockey over an eight-game stretch. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Oilers at Coyotes Odds
by George Monroy - 12/30/2013
The Phoenix Coyotes are on a three-game losing streak that includes a loss to the lowly Buffalo Sabres-the worst team in the NHL. Phoenix is hoping to redeem itself when it plays the equally-as-bad and worst team in the West, the Edmonton Oilers, on New Year's Eve. The Coyotes have fallen to the eight spot in the conference after being in the top six for most of the early part of the NHL season. The team cannot afford to have losing months, especially when they play in a deep Western Conference Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Flyers at Canucks Odds
by George Monroy - 12/30/2013
The Philadelphia Flyers have finally caught up to the rest of the Eastern Conference after starting the season with only four wins during the first 16 games of the year. Philadelphia is currently in a three-way tie for the final playoff spot in the conference and has won five of its last seven games. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Kings at Predators Odds
by George Monroy - 12/27/2013
The Los Angeles Kings are about to cap off the year with a three-game road trip that will feature a showdown with the defending Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks on Monday. But first the team will take a trip to Nashville to play the slumping Predators on Saturday night in what should be a winnable game for a Kings squad that has won nine of its last 11 games during the month of December. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Avalanche at Blackhawks Odds
by George Monroy - 12/26/2013
The Western Conference has seen a revolving door at the top of the standings. Everyday it seems like there is a new team on a hot streak and surging to the top of the heap. At this moment the Anaheim Ducks have won nine in a row and lead the conference by a point, but the San Jose Sharks, St. Louis Blues, Colorado Avalanche and Los Angeles Kings all held the top spot in the West at one point or another this year. The only constant has been Chicago Blackhawks. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Bruins at Predators Odds
by George Monroy - 12/23/2013
The Atlantic Division-leading Boston Bruins have one road game left before they take a much-deserved holiday break. The team recently split home-and-road meetings with the Buffalo Sabres, but is still sitting on 50 points in the standings and only trails the Pittsburgh Penguins for the Eastern Conference lead. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Blues at Oilers Odds
by George Monroy - 12/20/2013
The St. Louis Blues will be closing out the year with four of their next five games on the road. However, that road-heavy schedule is nothing for St. Louis to be worried about because the team is healthy, already has 50 points through 34 games this season, and has a lot to be excited about heading into 2014. St. Louis is tied for the second-best Stanley Cup title odds with the Chicago Blackhawks, according to Sportsbook.ag, and only trails the Pittsburgh Penguins as the favorite to win it all. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Islanders at Rangers Odds
by George Monroy - 12/19/2013
New York fans may wish that Friday's in-state rivalry game between the Islanders and Rangers meant something a little more than a matchup between two slumping teams. The Islanders have the second-fewest points in the entire NHL and are in the middle of a brutal slump that has seen only one victory in 14 games. Even worse, the team has not won in regulation since Nov. 12, which was nearly six weeks ago. If there were any silver lining for the Islanders it would be that they have at least been competitive over their last two matchups and sent both games into overtime. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Flames at Red Wings Odds
by George Monroy - 12/18/2013
When the Detroit Red Wings get into a slump, they really get into a slump. The team is currently in the middle of a six-game losing streak to go along with the four- and seven-game losing streaks it already owns through 36 games this season. Detroit's roster has been crippled by injury over the last month as the team is currently missing many of its key players. The Red Wings' center and team captain Henrik Zetterberg has not played in over two weeks due to a herniated disk in his back. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Penguins at Rangers Odds
by George Monroy - 12/17/2013
The Pittsburgh Penguins are simply chugging along through the season, racking up wins and setting themselves up for the playoffs. The team has the most points in the Eastern Conference and has already built a huge gap between its closest division competitor, the Washington Capitals. Sidney Crosby and the Penguins lead the Metropolitan by 10 points and are not planning on relinquishing that lead any time soon. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Jets at Sabres Odds
by George Monroy - 12/16/2013
The Buffalo Sabres are bad-but when I state "bad," what I really mean is historically bad. The team is on pace to earn the fewest points during a season in over 13 years, and it might not even crack the 40-point mark if things do not get better. Buffalo's management has probably already given up on the year and may be looking toward next season, but for the players and coaching staff, things are simply getting embarrassing. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Canadiens at Islanders Odds
by George Monroy - 12/13/2013
The Montreal Canadiens are right in the Atlantic Division race despite losing back-to-back games against the Los Angeles Kings and Philadelphia Flyers. The Canadiens went on a stretch where they won eight of nine games and rocketed up the Eastern Conference Playoff standings and still firmly sit in the third spot. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Blue Jackets at Rangers Odds
by George Monroy - 12/11/2013
The New York Rangers may be letting a golden opportunity to move up in the Eastern Conference Playoff standings slip through their fingers. The team started off a nine-straight home game stretch by getting blown out in its first three matchups, and it has won only one game during its last five attempts. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Kings at Maple Leafs Odds
by George Monroy - 12/10/2013
The Los Angeles Kings may be in a bit of an offensive slump over the last month of the season, but the team isn't worried because its outstanding defensive play and goaltending has made up of for any scoring deficiencies as of late. Los Angeles is allowing opponents to score only two goals per game and has not given up more than two goals in regulation since a 4-3 loss to the Nashville Predators during the beginning of November. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Sabres at Canadiens Odds
by George Monroy - 12/6/2013
The Montreal Canadiens are on a monster winning streak that has propelled the team into the top of the Atlantic Division and second in the Eastern Conference playoff standings. Montreal has won four straight games but is in the middle of a nine-wins-in-11-tries stretch that has established the team as one of the best in the NHL. The Canadiens have not allowed opponents to score more than three goals in a single game since early November and have not been beaten in regulation during their last nine outings. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Red Wings at Devils Odds
by George Monroy - 12/5/2013
Just as the Detroit Red Wings were finally starting to become accustomed to Eastern Conference and their new Atlantic Division opponents, injuries may send the team into another extended losing streak. After the offseason realignment that sent Detroit from West to East, the team struggled to find its footing in an unfamiliar conference. Detroit lost four games in a row during the month of October and had a seven-game losing in the middle of November. Read More >>
Free NHL Picks: Senators at Lightning Odds
by George Monroy - 12/4/2013
The Tampa Bay Lightning are in their first slump of the season and as recently as two weeks ago had not lost consecutive games. Unfortunately, the team had to run the gauntlet of a brutal Western Conference road trip and came out of the other end with four straight losses. Tampa Bay has since lost four of its last six matchups and is on a two-game skid entering its first home game of the month against the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night. Read More >>
