Looks like Spencer Knight is making his debut for the Blackhawks tonight, Kings are on a slide. This is a nice spot to catch a home dog (though risky) and juicy, I'm going to take a stab at it +223 ML. The Blackhawks finally got off the schneid with a nice win against a hot Ducks team, they'll be bringing that confidence back home with them.

I'm also wondering why the Lightning aren't getting any love tonight, they have an 8 gm winning streak and are the hottest team in the league right now with the hottest goalie in the league, yet they're +136 ML against the Panthers who just found out Tkachuk is out until the playoffs... Seth Jones makes his debut, that's a nice addition but I don't think it warrants the disrespectful line in this game. Give me the Lightning tonight as a dog and the hotter team.

Also keep your sights on Ottawa +127 ML, they come in with a win and have to turn it around to get into the playoff wildcard mix. Washington is on a losing streak and haven't been able to get much offense going, their defense has been lousy as well. Logan Thompson been leaky at best and Ullmark is reverting back to his pre-injury play. Brady Tkachuk is finding his form after being out from 4 Nations, I like the Sens to make this a highly contested game. The series sits at 1-1 with Caps winning the first matchup and Sens winning in OT. Caps are 4-3-3 the last 10 against the Sens, flip a coin here but I'm going with the Sens to gain some ground in the wildcard hunt trailing the Wings.
