NHL Picks: Islanders, Flames, Blues

0:00On March 30th, NHL's hitting the final stretch with five games on tap tonight, March 30th, I'm zeroing in on a solid home favorite and two low scoring showdowns for the best value. That means New York Islanders, minus 125 over the penguins, Flanes versus Avalanche, under six and a half at minus 100, 35, and Blues versus Sharks, under five and a half plus 110. Islanders and penguins are battling for second in the Metro division, both on the playoff bubble. Pittsburgh's dropped three of their last four, banged up without Crosby and Malcolm recently, even if they're practicing now. Isles are rolling with three wins and four, and a strong 21 wins, 12 losses, two ties at home. Meanwhile, Colorado's heavy favorites against Calgary, but their scoring is cooled off lately, just 22 goals in eight games. Flanes are spoiling games left and right, five wins, no losses, one tie, while holding foes to three goals or fewer each time. Blues are another sport of the

1:01crew, winning four straight and allowing just three goals total in that run, actually three or fewer in eight straight. Sharks can't buy a goal, sputtering through a six game skid before a slim three to win. These picks line up with hot trends on defense and form, so if you're playing the board, lock them in before line shift, stay sharp out there. That's the story for today.
