NHL Saturday

Buffalo @ San Jose -1.5 (-135)

Buffalo has failed to score any goals in 3 of their last 6 games.  To say they have a lack of offensive production is a massive understatement.  The Sharks are tough for good NHL teams to beat at home.  A team like Buffalo doesn't stand a chance.

Boston @ Toronto OVER 5.5 (EVEN)

Boston has a big hole to fill on the defensive side of the puck with Chara out.  The Bruins offense has been on point the past few games.  The absence of Chara leads me to the over in this game.  

Dallas (+110) @ NY Islanders

I'm just not sold on this Islanders team yet.  Dallas is a good physical team that will take away the time and space of the the Islanders skilled forwards.  Jamie Benn is having one of the best starts to a season in his career along with Tyler Seguin.  Dallas rolls on the road and leaves us wondering who the Islanders are.

Tampa (+145) @ Minnesota

This is Tampa's second game in two days but it could work to their advantage.  Last night they went off on offense for the first time in a while.  They have some momentum heading into tonight and I think they will roll on the road. 

Florida @ Arizona (-145)

This is a tough pick since both of these teams aren't very good right now.  My pick is zona because they're at home. Watch for future hall of famer Ekman-Larsson to lock it down on the defensive side for the Yotes.
