Ice picks: Saturday's best NHL bets
The Anaheim Ducks may have lost star center [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but his loss hasn’t slowed the ducks at all. Anaheim has won three straight and six of seven. One of the biggest reasons for the hot streak is the sensational play of goaltender Jonas Hiller.
The first time All-Star had gone six straight games without surrendering more than two goals before allowing four tallies in a wild 7-4 win over St. Louis [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. He has a 2.43 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage this season.
The Coyotes look to be returning to their defensive ways as well following a 5-1 win over Toronto. Netminder Ilya Bryzgalov made 28 saves and looks to be rounding into form after a recent battle with the flu.
The under has gone 5-1 in the last six head-to-head meetings between these clubs and there is no reason why that trend shouldn’t continue.
Pick: Under
Tampa Bay [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] Lightning at Carolina Hurricanes (-125, 5.5)
The Tampa Bay Lightning may be one of the biggest surprises in the NHL this season. The Bolts are the Southeast division leaders and just two points back of Philadelphia for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.
Tampa Bay has won five of its last seven games, but not in the way one would think. The Lightning have been doing it with defense, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] allowing just three goals in the five wins (although an unsightly 14 goals were scored in the two losses) and scoring 12. That is a sharp contrast from the team which earlier in the season was suspect defensively but would just outscore its opponents.
The Lightning’s scoring slowdown can be linked directly to the slump of superstar Steven Stamkos, who has just one assist in his last six games.
Carolina had a three-game road trip snapped by Buffalo on Thursday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but the Canes have been all about offense as of late. Carolina has yielded [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] 14 goals the last four games and their currently-porous defense could be the perfect opportunity for Stamkos and the offense to wake up.
Tampa Bay is 1-8 in its last nine games in Carolina, but that victory came the last time the Lightning were at the RBC Center. Tampa Bay has won four of the last six head-to-head meetings and has also won five straight within the division. Add in the chance that Stamkos gets back on track and Carolina will be in for a tough night.
