Ottawa vs. Boston

Ron's Comment: There comes a point where players are embarrassed to be part of an organization and I'm pretty sure some of the players of the Senators are getting close to the tipping point. When you have players starting to bite other players, you are setting your team to have a divided dressing room and I'm pretty sure this Senators team is divided. Just what the doctor ordered for the Bruins to snap their 2 game losing streak, a date with the Sens. When OTTAWA team played as a Road team - Vs Northeast opponent - Coming off 2 overs; The Sens are 3-8 SU in this role since '01. When ANY NHL Team Played as Home team as a Favorite - Before a conference game - With 1 day off - playing on Thursday - Coming off vs Western Conference opponent - Coming off a 2 game losing streak; The Home Fave (Bruins) are 11-4-1 SU in this spot since �97.

Prediction: Boston 5 Ottawa 2

Minnesota vs. Philadelphia

Ron's Comment: Tough spot for the Flyers, they are playing their first home game off a long 6 game road trip and now must face the hottest goalie in the circuit, as Backstrom is coming off back to back shutouts. When MINNESOTA played as any home/road team - During Last 3 Years - With 3 Under or Less - Won Last Game by 1 Goals or More - With SU Record of 4 Win 3 Lost in L7G; The Wild are 11-5 SU in this cycle the L3Y.

Prediction: Minnesota 3 Philadelphia 2

Atlanta vs. New Jersey

Ron's Comment: New Jersey is coming off a 3-2 lost to the Canes and at this point and time in the season, good teams like the devils don't lose home games to teams like Atlanta. When ATLANTA Played as road team as a Underdog - During Last 2 Years - Lost Last Game by 2 Goals or Less; The Thrashers are 5-17 SU in this situation the L2Y.

Prediction: New Jersey 5 Atlanta 3

Toronto vs. Montreal

Ron's Comment: Great spot for the Leafs, as they are coming off a bad 4-2 lost to the Panthers at home and the Habs are coming off a 6-3 win last night to the Rangers and we know consistency is not in Montreal's deck of cards. When MONTREAL team Played as Home team as a Underdog - After a non division game - Coming off a 2 game winning streak; The Habs are 4-7 SU in this spot.

Prediction: Toronto 5 Montreal 3

Carolina vs. Florida

Ron's Comment: The Panthers are coming off a 4 game road trip and are in a good letdown spot, as they played hard on Tuesday to beat the Leafs for teammate Bryan McCabe, so look for the Panthers to be flat in this one. When FLORIDA played as home team as a Favorite - During Last 4 Years - Won Last Game by 2 Goals; The Panthers are 2-5 SU in this spot the L4Y.

Prediction: Carolina 3 Florida 1

Dallas vs. Detroit

Ron's Comment: Let's face it, Detroit is nothing but a hockey machine and Turco is 3-10-5 SU vs. the Red Wings in his career during regular season play. When DETROIT played as a home team - During Last 4 Years - Won Last Game by 3 Goals or Less; The Red Wings are 68-25-1 SU in this spot the L4Y.

Prediction: Detroit 3 Dallas 2

Pittsburgh vs. Nashville

Ron's Comment: Until the Penguins start putting up back to back wins together, they are too risky to back at this time and point of the season. When NASHVILLE Played as a Favorite - During Last 4 Years - With SU Record of 0 Win 3 Lost in L3G; The Predators are 12-3 SU in this cycle the L4Y.

Prediction: Nashville 3 Pittsburgh 2

Chicago vs. Colorado

Ron's Comment: Tough to go against this youthful team and with Khabibulin between the pipes tonight, makes it even tougher to bet against Chicago. My concern is the old famous letdown spot, as they won 6-0 in their last game, so let's hope they don't come out flat here tonight vs. Raycroft whose 0-2 SU vs. the Hawks. When CHICAGO Played as road team as a Favorite - During Current Season - Won Last Game by 6 Goals or Less; The Blackhawks are 5-0 SU in their next game this season.

Prediction: Chicago 4 Colorado 2

NY Islanders vs. Calgary

Ron's Comment: The Flames are coming off a great 5-2 win over the San Jose Sharks and here's a great spot for the Islanders to fly under the radar and steal a win in Alberta. Plus, DiPietro is 2-0 lifetime vs. Calgary, so he's mentally ready to face Iggy and company. When ANY NHL Team Played as Road team as a Underdog - With 2 days off - Last 4 years - During the month of January - Coming off vs. Northwest division opponent; The Road Dog is 14-9 SU in this spot.

Prediction: NY Islanders 3 Calgary 0

Tampa Bay vs. Phoenix

Ron's Comment: The Coyotes were embarrassed 6-0 in their last game vs. Chicago and unfortunately for Tampa Bay, they are their first opponent. Bryzkalov is 8-3 SU vs. the Lightning bolts. When ANY NHL Team Played as Home team as a Favorite - playing on Thursday - Last 4 years - With 1 day off - Allowed 6 or more goals AGAINST in their last game; The Home Fave is 12-3-1 SU in this spot L4Y.

Prediction: Phoenix 5 Tampa Bay 2

Anaheim vs. LA Kings

Ron's Comment: Here's a Law of Average play on the Kings, as the Ducks won game 1 of this back to back series. Plus, line is a bit fishy, so let's take the home team here tonight. When LOS ANGELES team played as a home team - playing on Thursday - With 1 day off - Allowed 3 goals AGAINST in their last game; The Kings are 13-4-1 SU in this spot.

Prediction: LA Kings 3 Anaheim 2
