Florida PANTHERS vs Buffalo SABRES /  by Gregory Carter

Throughout the day there are 13 games going off. Because of hurricane Milton the Carolina / Tampa Bay game has been postponed. Our game tonight takes us to western New York and KeyBank Center in Buffalo. The SABRES are hosting the Florida PANTHERS. Even though it is the beginning of a new season, Buffalo is returning to form as they continue to lose. In 3 games the SLABS have only scored 3 goals on their way to 3 losses. Tonight, it gets worse as they host the champion, Florida PANTHERS. The line here is a little bit odd, still I have to run with it…

Today’s PICK — Florida PANTHERS -135 — LOSS

St. Louis BLUES vs Vegas GOLDEN KNIGHTS /  by Gregory Carter

We have a relatively light evening the NHL. There are only 4 games on the docket tonight. St. Louis is rampaging through the West and are visiting Vegas this evening. St. Louis is playing their 3rd game in 4 nights and are coming off of 2 come-from-behind wins. Tonight, their game gets real as fatigue slaps them collectively in the face. Vegas rolls at the "fortress".

Today’s PICK — Vegas GOLDEN KNIGHTS -205 — WIN

Toronto MAPLE LEAFS vs New Jersey DEVILS /  by Gregory Carter

There are 9 BIG games this evening in the NHL. Some of them quite compelling. Our game tonight takes us to Prudential Center in New Jersey. The Toronto MAPLE LEAFS are in town to take on the undefeated New Jersey DEVILS. The LEAFS got blanked last night in Montreal 1-0. That is hard to imagine with all of their firepower. The DEVILS won their 1st 2 games in Sweden but face a Toronto team that usually wins at the "Rock" in Jersey. The LEAFS get back on the winning track this evening.

Today’s PICK — Toronto MAPLE LEAFS +118 — WIN

New York RANGERS vs Pittsburgh PENGUINS /  by Gregory Carter

Tonight, we have 5 games on tap throughout the NHL. Our game this evening takes us to the “Steel City” - Pittsburgh, PA. The PENS will be welcoming in the New York RANGERS in what should be a spirited tilt. Last year these 2 teams both won in each other’s barn. The RANGERS won both of their contests in Pittsburgh last season. New York has to be one of the favorites in the east. Youth, scoring and goaltending all point to a successful season.

Today’s PICK — New York RANGERS -115 — WIN

Boston BRUINS vs Florida PANTHERS /  by Gregory Carter

With the exception of the games we had in Sweden last weekend, the 2024 / 2025 season kicks off this afternoon in Seattle. Our game tonight takes us to Miami, Florida. The World Champion PANTHERS are welcoming in the dreaded, and often feared, Boston BRUINS. With goalie Jeremy Swayman happily back in the fold for the BRUINS, Florida will have their hands full. The PANTHERS start the season on top of the heap after winning the CUP last year. Their ceremony will delay the start of the game. The BRUINS will probably not enjoy the delay as they raise their banner to the rafters.

Today’s PICK — Boston BRUINS +122 — LOSS
