Game: Toronto at Carolina (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Carolina -145 (moneyline)
Since losing to the Hurricanes 4-1 on February 4th, the Maple Leafs have reeled off four straight wins. So they are hot, right? Well it probably won't matter. Carolina has won four of five so they are hot too. And, Toronto is without Matt Frattin and James Reimer. Carolina has won nine of the last twelve in this series. Toronto is just 15-35 the past two seasons when facing good offenses like Carolina's (teams averaging over 29 shots per game on goal). The Leafs are 9-20 dating back to last season revenging a same season loss. Take the home team in this one.

9 PHO / 10 NAS UNDER 5.0 5Dimes
Analysis: I'm playing the Under between the Coyotes & Predators on Thursday. Nashville has put the biscuit in the basket just two times in their last three games. They now face a Phoenix team that ranks in the top-10 in shots-against and in penalty killing. It's going to be tough for Nashville, the league's 30th ranked scoring team at 1.8 goals per game, to find the back of the net more than they normally do, thanks to the matchups on the their offensive end. At the same time, the Predators know they must play defense to win games and rank #1 in the NHL, allowing just 1.8 goals peƒr contest. Pekka Rinne will likely be between the pipes for Nashville. The Finn just "pitched" his second shutout of the season two days ago and owns a sub-2.00 GAA on the season. We'll be on the under whether Rinne is in net or not thanks to a Phoenix attack that has managed to score a total of just 10 goals in their last five games. The Coyotes are on a 4-1 Under run and they're 9-3-2 to the Under in their last 14 road games. The Under is on a 5-0 run when Nashville plays their fourth game in six days. The Predators are on an 18-5-3 Under run overall, and they're 9-0 to the Under in their last nine games against Pacific Division opponents. More of the same. I'm playing the Under on Thursday. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer.
