TB (-1) 2.4/3
I made this play before looking at goalies confirmed. Not really sure why Bishop is not starting. None the less the play is booked. Bolts are on a 3 game winning streak and I dont see it ending tonight (barring a Nabokov meltdown). With Mason going down and Flyers starting Zepp, it did boost some confidence in this play even with Nabokov starting. Zepp was victorious in his debut against Winnipeg but still allowed 3 goals and finished with a .890 SV%. Tampa has played extremely well against Philly taking the last 6 games and 13 of the last 16. Not liking the -140 juice on the road so Im playing the -1 line tonight. Looking for Stamkos and Johnson to embarrass Zepp on home ice early.
TOR 2/3.24
Kings have lost 5 of their last 6 games. Adding to the slump, they will be without Tyler Toffoli and Tanner Pearson in this matchup. They are currently winless on a long 7 game homestand (0-1-2) with Quick not showing his home ice dominance. Jones looks to get the start tonight. Im relying on Bernier to cover the crease on the opposing end as the Leafs look to extend their 3 game winning streak at Staples. They edged the Kings 4-3 a month ago on home ice. Phil Kessel has been having trouble finding the back of the net lately, but im looking for him and his team leading 43 pts to have a breakout game tonight.
