Game: Washington Capitals at Atlanta Thrashers
Oct 5 2007 7:35PM
Prediction: Washington Capitals
Reason: Tonight's game will be the season opener for both team's. Washington has one of the game's best players in Alex Ovechkin and in the offseason they surrounded him with better players especially Nylander. Last year's stats don't reflect this year's team. It will be interesting to see Lehtonen starts off the season after being pulled in last year's Stanle Cup Playoffs. The Capitals have won 3 of the last 4 meetings between the clubs. The Capitals have also won 2 of their last 3 trips to Atlanta.

1 Unit, Take Columbus Over 5.5, We are getting a very good line here with the total tonight since both of these teams are very good offensively. The O/U is 21-6 for Anaheim after 3 or more consecutive unders the last 3 seasons and 3 of 4 games in this series played at Columbus have gone over the posted total the last 3 seasons. I have this game total hitting 7 tonight so grab the value as I know these teams very well.

Game: New York Islanders at Buffalo (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Buffalo -173
Buffalo dissapointed in a huge way in last year's postseason. They roared through the regular season only to lose in the Eastern Conference finals. In the offseason, they lost some key offensive members of last year's team to free agency including Chris Drury and Daniel Briere. But, the defense is still intact. The Islanders also suffered some big losses including All-Star Jason Blake. New York has lost six of their last seven meetings here in Buffalo while Buffalo has won 48 of their last 70 home games. The past three seasons, Buffalo has started very strong (54-23 in first half of season) and we look for them to do so again, winning their opener.
