Boston at Toronto (NHL Network)
These teams are well acquainted with each other as they played four times last season and they met the previous season in a great playoff series that the Bruins ended up winning. The teams split their four meetings last year with each team going 1-1 at home. Three of the four games went over the total. It has been a little bit of a road team series with the Bruins winning 7 of the last 10 in Toronto. Four of the last five in Toronto have gone over.
NHL Picks

More Saturday NHL Picks
- Buffalo at San Jose – The Sharks rarely lose at home and the Sabres are simply not at the same level yet as San Jose. We’ll take the home team.
- New York Rangers at Montreal – The Rangers are definitely capable of winning this one on the road but the Canadiens have started the season on fire. We’ll pass.
- New Jersey at Ottawa – The Devils are a live underdog in this one so we’ll take New Jersey to win this one on the road.
- Detroit at Philadelphia – The Flyers continue to play poorly as they simply can’t keep the puck out of their own net. We’ll go with the Red Wings to win this one.
- Dallas at New York Islanders – This could be the game of the night as both teams are playing well and scoring a lot of goals. We’ll go over the total.
- Tampa Bay at Minnesota – We’ll go under the total with the Lightning and Wild.
- Pittsburgh at Nashville – The Penguins should have too much offense for the Predators so we’ll take the road team.
- Chicago at St. Louis – The matchups between these two are always intense. We’ll go under the total.
- Florida at Arizona – These two teams struggle to score goals so we’ll take the under.
- Washington at Calgary – We’ll go over the total in this late game.
