Montreal Canadiens -1.5
Thu Feb 7 ’08 7:05p
The Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs prepare to renew their rivalry tonight, in the Molson Center. The Habs have won 3 straight in this series, and look like a good pick again tonight, against a Leafs team that has lost 26 of their 35 road games. Play on Montreal -1.5 puckline

Los Angeles Kings @ Detroit Red Wings u5.5 (115)
Thu Feb 7 ’08 7:35p
The Detroit Red Wings have the best record in the NHL, thanks to a defense that also leads the NHL allowing just 2.02 goals per game, and we look for that unit to key this Under vs. the Los Angeles Kings tonight.

The Under is now 6-1-2 in the last nine Detroit games overall, with the push coming in overtime in a 3-2 win at Minnesota on Tuesday. Dominik Hasek was in goal that game, but Chris Osgood is expected to get the call tonight. Osgood is an amazing 22-3-2 with a fantastic 1.84 GAA and a .927 save percentage. Moreover, he has been brilliant in his two starts vs. the Kings this season, allowing a grand total of one goal.

Now the Kings have been play better lately, but they are still averaging just 2.80 goals per game for the season, a figure that drops all the way down to 2.35 on the road. Throw in the fact that they have not scored more than two goals in any of their last four meetings with the Wings, and they should have trouble finding the net against Osgood tonight.

Since we don’t think that Detroit will go Over in this game by themselves, we look for a safe Under here.
