A good night of hockey action last night with a lot of very tight games.
Blue Jackets got a much needed win over the Devils as they stay in playoff contention. Unfortunately we had them in regulation and they required a shootout victory. The Hurricanes picked up a point and the Penguins two in the tight battle in the Metro.
The Habs got the win we banked on as they keep things tight in the wild card race. Philly play the Capitals tonight and really need the win there.
The West is also tight with the Wild dropping a point while the Avs and Stars picked up the points last night. The Coyotes lost though which will hurt their chances. I said the other day I didn’t think they were a playoff team and alas I think that assessment will be correct.
It’s Wednesday, March 6th 2019 and we’ve got four games on the board.
The Metro is tonight and the Capitals aren’t save yet so they’ll want to bring the goods against a fighting Flyers team. Leafs remain in Western Canada as they take on the Canucks. The Blues look to get out of their rut with a victory over the Ducks knowing there are three teams biting at their heels in the Central. And the Knights look to pick up some points against Pacific leaders the Calgary Flames, although the Coyotes loss last night will be a relief for them.
Flyers vs Capitals Betting Tips:
The Flyers are doing what they can to make the playoffs. Some games they’re creating a host of chances – others they are relying more on clinical finishing. They missed Voracek the other night but didn’t affect things as they still beat the Islanders.
Brian Elliott is putting in the performances to help them although they’re still relying much more on their offense.
Capitals are the Capitals. They’ve looked hungry more often than not lately which is nice to see at least. Their goalscoring abilities are obviously impressive and I think the Flyers will be aware of that – and know that they need to get a few goals and play aggressive this game.

Leafs vs Canucks Betting Tips:
I’m wary of backing the Leafs as they really seem to struggle with motivation this season. However they had a big support in the Flames game and that seemed to spur them on. I’ve got to expect it will be the same tonight in Vancouver.
It should make for a pretty good atmosphere and just what the Canucks need after a torrid time recently.
The most recent games between these two have went under, but if the Leafs keep going after the Flames game I think this should be a good affair with some goals.
