There are only 9 games in the NHL today which is relatively light for a Saturday.
We were unable to get this post out before the Hawks/Canes got underway so today’s post will break down the 8 night games, one of which will be played outdoors in Regina, Saskatchewan (technically a home game for Winnipeg).
Thursday was another good night for us as we went 2-1 on picks to bring our current run to 9-2 over our last 11 plays.
Good luck with whatever you play!
