So Cold

Thursday night is full of action, which means I have a lot of picking and choosing to take care of...so pay close attention.

Minnesota @ Montreal - This promises to be a low scoring game, so if you are betting on the over under, unless the line is three...take the under. Montreal wins at home 3-1.

NY Rangers @ NY Islanders - A rematch of the rivalry sees a venue swap as the Rangers travel east to face the Islanders in the Coliseum. The Rangers will hold the back the young guns and pull out a victory 3-2.

Pittsburgh @ Philadelphia - Another rematch. Same result. Pens win in a closer game 4-3.

Dallas @ Atlanta - Atlanta is finally playing at home but Dallas suffered an embarrassing loss to the Carolina breeze last night. This is a difficult game to call and I would be shocked to get it correct. Dallas wins 2-1.

Phoenix @ Columbus - The coyotes manage to stick around and continue to pile up wins. Against the mediocre Jackets they will fall short 6-4.

Tampa Bay @ Detroit - The Wings are tough at home, the Bolts continue to disappoint. But Detroit is not the giants they used to be in Hockeytown. Bolts make it close but fall 4-2.

LA @ Calgary - So long as Mikka Kiprusoff starts in net, the Flames will win this game. He has been stellar all year. As I type this I have second thoughts though...eh, ah, ummmm...Flames win 3-1.

Nashville @ Edmonton - The Oilers will struggle at home against the below-the-radar Preds. Nashville 5-3.

Anaheim @ San Jose - A few years ago this would have been a much anticipated game. With both teams underperforming so far, the hype is lost but the quality and excitement remain. San Jose wins 4-3.

There are some great games tonight and will make for an interesting Friday.
