It’s almost playoff time folks, and with so few games to go in the regular season there are some playoff matches that are being set in stone. One of those matches involves the Pittsburgh Penguins who will most likely face their Pennsylvania rivals in the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round of the playoffs, and if Sunday afternoon’s fight-filled game was any indication, it should be a dandy. But for tonight’s game, the Penguins will travel to Boston to do battle with another Eastern Conference powerhouse.

In the East, it was the New York Rangers downing the Winnipeg Jets to put the Jets playoff hopes on the ropes, and in the West it was the Avalanche and Flames missing out on a couple of very important points, leaving their playoff aspirations on life support. Also, as predicted, it was the Kings who dealt the blow to the Flames, getting a 19-save shutout performance from their number one goaltender and MVP Jonathan Quick in the process. Although there will be playoff implications every night from here on into the end of the regular season, tonight’s pick involves a game where playoff aspirations won’t be the center of attention. NHL Pick for March 29th Tampa Bay Lightning @ New Jersey Devils The Tampa Bay Lightning will look [Read More...]

There are only a handful of games left for each team across the NHL, and for some, there are aspirations of many more before they break out the golf clubs for the summer. The playoff races are unbelievable right now, especially in the West, with several teams switching spots every night on a point-by-point basis. Tonight, we are going to dive right into this Western Conference playoff race and feature a couple of teams who need tonight’s points very badly. NHL Pick for March 28th Los Angeles Kings @ Calgary Flames The Los Angeles Kings will enter their game in Calgary tonight just one point ahead of the 11th place Flames, and one point behind the 8th place Coyotes for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
