4-unit Play Take #15 Vancouver Canucks over Nashville Predators (8:05pm EST) Even though the Nashville Predators have seemingly won hockey games via smoke and mirrors for the last several seasons, I'm not buying into them this year. The Predators have had an excellent record in close games this season and they don't seem to be playing with the same kind of intensity as they have in prior seasons. They've dropped four of their last six games and I wouldn't be surprised if this team goes into a prolonged tailspin during the second half of the season. The Vancouver Canucks meanwhile have been dominant lately going 10-0-3 in their last 13 games and I still don't think that this talented team has peaked yet. Both Vancouver goaltenders have been on top of their respective games as they've been in a healthy competition all season long. The road team is 7-1 in the last eight games in this series, so it's clear that home ice isn't too much of an issue for the Canucks to overcome. In fact, Vancouver is 20-9-2 on the road this season. Take the Canucks against an overrated Predators squad tonight.

10-unit Play Take #4 Pittsburgh Penguins over New York Rangers (7:05pm EST) Big matchup between Atlantic Division rivals as the Pittsburgh Penguins play host to the New York Rangers tonight. However, this game is much bigger for the Penguins than it is for the Rangers. Pittsburgh has been sliding a bit as they've dropped four of seven and now find themselves all the way down to sixth place in the Eastern Conference. In my opinion this is the most talented team in the Eastern Conference and they will get their act together to make sure they finish in the upper half of the conference before the playoffs begin. They've battled a ton of injuries all season, but they've got virtually everybody back now except for Sidney Crosby, who they've learned to play without for the last couple of seasons. The Rangers, on the other hand, have a huge lead atop the Eastern Conference as they have a nine-point margin over the second place team. I don't necessarily think they're just going to coast for the rest of the season, but I do expect them to lose a bit of their edge as it's a long season and they don't have anyone challenging them yet. Pittsburgh is a much better team at home than they are on the road with a 17-8-2 mark at the Consol Energy Center. Pittsburgh is our Game of the Day as they are the better team in my opinion and are playing at home where they've dominated all season long.

4 Unit Play. #718 Take Over in Georgetown @ Seton Hall (7 pm ESPN 3) This should be a very competitive game that goes down to the wire and we do expect some fouling to occur at the end to pad the points for both teams. The Pirates are on pace for an NCAA Tournament berth but will need to shot the ball better than what they did in their last outing at Cincinnati. Georgetown is averaging over 70 points per game and the Hall is not a great defense team so I expect them to easily hit that number tonight. The Hoyas have gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 7 games when they are a road favorite of 6.5 points or less. We will not worry about who wins this low odds game and just collect with the over.

4 Unit Play. #740 Take Over in Virginia @ Virginia Tech (9 pm ESPN U) These two teams played a real yawner in their first meeting of the season, as Virginia went cold late in that game to lose to Virginia Tech in Charlottesville. The Hokies are coming off an overtime victory against Georgia Tech and that put forth a good offensive showing scoring 74 points for the first time this season during ACC play. Virginia is also coming off a nice offensive performance against Maryland when they scored 71 points in route to a blowout victory. Virginia Tech has gone over the posted total in 17 of their last 24 home games. The line is ready to attack since Virginia is consistently an under team and the odds now favor a string of overs for this team.

4 Unit Play. #746 Take Greensboro over Wofford (7 pm) The Spartans have cleanup with this low lines recently and they have lost just two games since January 6th, 2912. The Terriers are in the midst of a brutal road schedule, as this will be their fifth road game in their last six games and I do not believe they will have much left in the tank on Tuesday. The Spartans do top the league in terms of individual scoring, as Trevis Simpson has been the most prolific scorer in the Southern Conference this season. Greensboro is 12-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Wofford is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games overall.
