NHL Pick: Calgary Flames (-125) - Monday March 30th 2009 9:35p
The San Jose Sharks have earned home ice advantage through out the upcoming NHL play offs. So tonight against their hosts the Calgary Flames, a semi motivated effort would not come as a complete surprise ,especially considering the amount of nagging injuries the team has been suffering through. With star Patrick Marleau(37 G),limping and expected to miss this tilt, Im betting on the Sharks current sub par road run ( 4-7-3 L/14) including 3 straight losses to be extended vs a Flames side that is a bankroll expanding 25-9-4 on home ice this season. Final notes & Key Trends: Flames are 8-2 L/10 at home in this series. Flames goalie Miikka Kiprusoff is 6-2-0 with a 2.63 goals-against average and one shutout in his last eight games vs the Sharks.

NHL Pick: Dallas Stars (100) - Monday March 30th 2009 10:05p
The slumping Dallas Stars have lost six straight games, but they are still in playoff contention and that motivation should be good enough for them to get well vs. the lowly Phoenix Coyotes. The Stars are on the verge of an epic choke, as they were seventh in the Western Conference when this slump began. They have now dropped to eleventh, eight points behind the St. Louis Blues for the eighth and final playoff spot. If Dallas is serious about its post-season aspiration, the Stars simply must beat teams that they should beat from here on out, and the Coyotes seem ripe for the picking. Phoenix has virtually nothing to play for here, as they are 14 points out of a playoff spot with seven games to play, and the Coyotes have lost 20 of their last 27 games overall. Also, the road team is 6-2 in the last eight head-to-head meetings between these teams, and aside from their faint playoff hopes, the Stars are also seeking double revenge after losing the last two meetings with Phoenix by an identical 1-0 score, with one loss coming in a shootout. Look for Dallas to avoid getting shut out for a third straight time by the Coyotes, and for the Stars to emerge victorious here. NHL Free Pick: Stars +100 - Courtesy of LT Profits
