New Jersey vs. Carolina

Ron's Comment: Pretty much an even matchup at this point and time for both teams, as the Canes are starting to turn a corner, but the value is with the Devils. When NEW JERSEY team played as a Road team - playing on Tuesday - Allowed 3 goal AGAINST in their last game; The Devils are 10-1 SU in this role.

Prediction: New Jersey 3 Carolina 2

Philadelphia vs. Washington

Ron's Comment: The Caps are pretty much one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now and Theodore is 8-1 SU at home this season. When WASHINGTON Played as home team as a Favorite - During Last 2 Years - Won Last Game by 1 Goals or More; The Capitals are 22-12 SU in this role the L2Y. Prediction: Washington 4 Philadelphia 2

Minnesota vs. Boston

Ron's Comment: If you want to beat the Boston Bruins at home, you need to exercise some patience and the Wild have the master in Lemaire on a slow game. When MINNESOTA team played as a Road team - Total is 5.5 - Coming off a Road win as a Underdog; The Wild are 9-3 SU in this spot. Prediction: Minnesota 3 Boston 1

Ottawa vs. Buffalo

Ron's Comment: The Sens are on a road trip from hell; but Alex Auld is 5-0 SU lifetime vs. the Sabres. Furthermore, laying -210 on this Sabres team is just too big of a risk for a club who's 5-10 SU in their last 15 games at home vs. these Sens. When BUFFALO team played as Home team as a Favorite - During the month of January - After a division game; The Sabres are 3-8-1 SU in this role since '96. Prediction: Ottawa 4 Buffalo 3

Columbus vs. Detroit

Ron's Comment: Mason will need to stand on his head to steal one in Detroit; my money is on the Red Wings. When ANY NHL Team Played as Home team as a Favorite - Total is 5.5 - Last 5 years - Coming off a 3 game winning streak - Coming off a Road win as a Favorite; The Home Fave is 16-1 SU in this spot the LAST 5 YEARS (L5Y). Prediction: Detroit 4 Columbus 2

Atlanta vs. Pittsburgh

Ron's Comment: Sinking ship in Pittsburgh and I don't see this team rebounding until they start cleaning house! When PITTSBURGH played as any home/road team - During Last 4 Years - With SU Record of 1 Win 6 Lost in L7G; The Penguins are 9-18 SU in this cycle the last 4 years. Prediction: Atlanta 5 Pittsburgh 4

Florida vs. Toronto

Ron's Comment: Bryan McCabe is back in Toronto and I look for his teammates to pick up their game for their veteran defenseman. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if McCabe puts a few dollar signs on the board for extra incentive to win tonight's game. When FLORIDA team Played as Road team as a Underdog - before a division game - Last 3 years; The Panthers are 6-4 SU in this role as a underdog. Prediction: Florida 3 Toronto 1

Prediction: Nashville 3 Colorado 2

Chicago vs. Phoenix

Ron's Comment: Both goalies have never lost against their opponent, but one will have a lost tonight, my money is on the home goalie.
