Straight to the results tonight. Wow, yet another perfect night. I caught a few lucky breaks. Washington beating the Blackhawks in overtime kept me afloat. The Kings let the Stars tie the game 2-2 with less than a minute to go nearly cost me a victory until they scored in the same last minute to win 3-2. Phew. Penguins over the Oilers and Sabres over the Senators were fairly easy picks. The Coyotes huge win over the Ducks wasn't as impressive as it looked. Bryzgalov of the Coyotes faced a barrage of shots from the Ducks to beat his former team. I owe a lot to him for the flawless night. Here are the outcomes for Sunday.

None. Perfect night. No slandering myself for now.

Blackhawks at Capitals : Easily the toughest game to determine of the night just from looking through the schedule yesterday. I went with the Capitals who are on an amazing run over the Hawks who have sputtered the last few games. That part paid off. Both teams are dangerous though and I wouldn't have been surprised to see that I chose incorrectly. The game looked like it was a good one. It took overtime for the Capitals to send the Hawks packing.
=Easiest Pick of the Night=
Oilers at Penguins : Edmonton has faced three difficult teams in a row (Washington, Philadelphia, and Detroit) and lost each game. I saw no change coming when they visited Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh handed Edmonton their fourth straight loss as Edmonton remains at the bottom of the NHL with Ottawa. Pittsburgh has key injuries but Edmonton is weaker and also suffering from injured players. Pittsburgh can compensate with far superior depth and therefore making this an easy choice.

Another Monday with only a small offering of games. Despite the quantity, there is good quality for Monday. The Lightning's latest woes makes the game in Toronto a tough one. A determined Toronto squad could beat Tampa if they aren't careful. The Sharks visit Chicago for the most evenly matched game of the evening. Two teams that are only separated by four points in the Western Conference standings. The final game on the slate is Minnesota visiting the Canucks. I think Vancouver will hammer the Wild pretty badly, but you never know. Minnesota could pull off an upset. Plenty of good hockey and some tough games to determine. Here's what I'm picking for Monday.
3/14/2011 - Monday
Lightning at Maple Leafs ==> Lightning
Sharks at Blackhawks ==> Sharks
Wild at Canucks ==> Canucks
Night!
