These picks are big gambles....taking road teams that I perceive to need the wins badly...but all are playing against quality opposition. Going for the moneyline value here:
Ottawa +105 (over Toronto)
Colorado +150 (over Detroit)
Montreal +155 (over Boston)
Like I said...risky business given the opposition. But Ottawa is going to want to send a message to Toronto AND continue the momentum they gained in their 4-0 win the other night to take them into the playoffs strong. Colorado badly needs to get it going, and Forsberg is due to drop a big game on someone. Montreal, having lost their past 2 games after a phenomenal run, knows it needs just 1 point to secure a playoff spot and will want to stop their skid before it becomes a slump.
