Jon's Picks

Money Line Pick
VGS Golden Knights Win(-130)

The Calgary Flames will be welcoming the Vegas Golden Knights to the Saddledome on Saturday night. The Golden Knights will be without two of their key players on Saturday as Jack Eichel and Shea Theodore are dealing with lower body injuries. Without Eichel in the lineup up front, other key players such as Mitch Marner and Mark Stone will need to step up. In the past in his time in Toronto, we have seen Marner step his game up when Auston Matthews was absent from the lineup, so it is well within his capabilities. They should have a fairly easy time shutting down the Flames offensively, as they are fourth-worst in that category in the NHL. They average only 2.54 goals per game. Their defensive play isn’t quite strong enough to make up for this as they average just under 3 goals against per game.

With the playoff race being as tight as it at the top of the Pacific Division, a veteran team like the Golden Knights will have a game like this against a much weaker team circled on the calendar as a must win. Even without Eichel and Theodore in the lineup, I trust them to get it done. Give me the Golden Knights on the money line in this one.

Golden Knights vs. Flames prediction: Golden Knights ML (-130) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

TB Lightning Win(-115)

The Carolina Hurricanes will be travelling north from south Florida to Tampa Bay, to take on the Lightning on Saturday night. The Lightning are coming into this game riding a three-game losing streak, while the Hurricanes played Friday night and gave up a 3-0 lead over the Panthers to lose in overtime. This will be a battle between two very solid teams that are good both offensively and defensively. The Lightning are in the middle of a very tight race in the Atlantic Division and every point matters for them. They should be getting Nikita Kucherov back in the lineup who was out Thursday due to an illness, and Brandon Hagel is a game-time call. The Hurricanes will be without a key member of their offensive production, as Seth Jarvis suffered and injury Friday night and is expected to miss some time.

The Lightning have the advantage in goal no matter who the Hurricanes start. Andrei Vasilevskiy has been great this season with a 2.30 GAA and .917 SVP. I think the Lightning will have a strong showing on home ice, so let’s take them on the money line.

TOR Maple Leafs Win(-110)

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be in Nashville on Saturday night to take on the Predators in what is a very important game for the Leafs. After their 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Washington Capitals on Thursday, there were some pointed comments from head coach Craig Berube towards the leadership group of this team. Despite sitting only six points out of the top spot in the Atlantic Division, is seems like a change is forthcoming if the Leafs do not turn things around. Going up against a weaker opponent in the Predators, this game feels like a must win.

Nashville is one of the worst defensive teams in the NHL, as it averages 3.49 goals against per game, which is second-worst in the league. The Leafs will need to expose this as they are not great defensively themselves, but they are the better offensive team. The Leafs average 3.18 goals per game compared to the 2.76 goals per game that the Predators average. I expect to see some desperate hockey out of the Leafs tonight after their brutal performance on Thursday. Give me the Leafs on the money line in this one.
