 NHL Puck Picks
Nashville Predators at Chicago Blackhawks (-140, 5 1/2)
The Blackhawks haven't posted four straight wins yet this season and face a Predators squad looking to tie their season high of three straight wins.
Right winger Martin Havlat had three assists in Chicago's 5-2 win over Nashville last Wednesday but suffered a pulled groin in the same game and is listed as questionable for tonight's rematch. If Chicago's going to extend their streak, they'll look to rookie standouts Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane who have a combined 21 goals and 40 assists. Patrick Sharp leads the Blackhawks in scoring with 18 goals and leads the league in short-handed goals with six. Sharp has four goals in Chicago's three-game streak.
Pick: Blackhawks -140
San Jose Sharks at Los Angeles Kings (+140, 5 1/2)
Tonight's visit to Los Angeles may prove to be a belated Christmas gift for the Sharks who need a win to avoid posting their longest losing streak of the season.
San Jose lost three straight home games before a three-day holiday break. The Sharks have had more success on the road, however, going 12-3-2 compared to a 6-9-3 home record.
The Kings won the teams' two most recent meetings, both in San Jose, but the Sharks have a 6-4 edge in their last 10 meetings overall.
Joe Thornton has failed to find the scoreboard in three of San Jose's last four games, but he has two goals and three assists in four games against Los Angeles this year. Still, the Sharks should have enough to overpower the 12-23-2 Kings.
Pick: Sharks -150
Line move: Ottawa Senators at Buffalo Sabres (-107, 6)
The line on the Ottawa Senators moved from +107 to -103 in a few hours Wednesday morning.
Pick: Sens -103
