The Devils took the New York Islanders too lightly last Saturday and got embarrassed 7-3. I doubt they will overlook the Coyotes this evening and expect them to come out hungry at the drop of the puck. When NEW JERSEY played as a home team - During Last 2 Years - Won Last Game by 1 Goals; the Devils are 13-6 SU in this role the L2Y.

Prediction: New Jersey 4 Phoenix 2

Calgary vs. Detroit

The Flames are having a tough "back-9" so to speak of their current road trip, as they won the first 2 games, but have now lost 3 straight. In fact, it won't get any easier this evening, as Hossa is expected back (game time decision) and the Flames are 0-7 SU in their last 7 trips to the Joe! When DETROIT team played as a home team - Last 2 years - Coming off a 2 game Home stand - Coming off a Home win as a Favorite; The Red Wings are 12-1 SU in this role the L2Y. When CALGARY played as an Underdog - During Last 5 Years - Lost Last Game by 1 Goals; The Flames are 8-20 SU in this situation the L5Y

Prediction: Detroit 3 Calgary 2

Pittsburgh vs. Columbus

The Penguins are trying to salvage their season and enter the playoffs through the front door. More importantly, they seem to be buying into the Bylsma system and are 9-1 SU in their last 10 games. When PITTSBURGH played as any home/road team - During Last 3 Years - With SU Record of 3 Win 0 Lost in L3G; The Penguins are 27-18 SU in this spot the L3Y.

Prediction: Pittsburgh 4 Columbus 2
