 NHL Tonight
Toronto at Boston (-139, 5 1/2)
Toronto has been outscored 27-10 in its last six road games and only won three times in its last 14 games overall.
The Leafs have lost four straight and eight of 10 to the Bruins. They have been outscored 11-5 in three meetings this season, and the most lopsided of those defeats came in their only trip to Boston - 5-2 on Nov. 15.
Pick: Bruins -139
Edmonton at Washington (-136, 5 1/2)
Washington is without Michael Nylander, whose 37 points were second only to Alexander Ovechkin, who has 34 goals and 21 assists.
The Capitals are playing the fourth game of a five-game stretch at home, where it is 8-4-1 since losing seven of its first nine.
Edmonton had been playing strong defense, allowing a total of five goals during a four-game winning streak before losing 3-1 to Los Angeles at home on Tuesday night.
Pick: Under
Anaheim at Nashville (+107, 5)
Anaheim is 10-2-2 since Scott Niedermayer returned after contemplating retirement.
While Niedermayer has received most of the credit, several other players have also made key contributions lately for the defending champions.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere is 8-1-1 with two shutouts and a 1.69 goals-against average in his last 10 starts. All-Star center Ryan Getzlaf had a goal and an assist Tuesday, and has five goals and 10 assists during a career-best 11-game point streak.
Right wing Todd Bertuzzi appears to have regained his scoring touch, tallying three goals and five assists during a four-game point streak.
The Ducks are 2-1-0 this season against the Predators, losing 4-2 at Nashville on Dec. 8. Anaheim is 7-2-1 in the past 10 meetings.
Pick: Ducks -117
Columbus at Phoenix (-126, 5)
The Blue Jackets look to avoid a season high-tying third straight road loss as they kick off a five-game trip on Thursday night with a matchup against the Phoenix Coyotes, who seek their fifth consecutive home win.
Columbus has lost three in a row on the road twice this season, and its six victories away from home are the fewest in the Western Conference.
Ilya Bryzgalov made 21 saves Tuesday for Phoenix en route to winning his third straight home start. Since joining Phoenix in November off waivers from Anaheim, Bryzgalov is 6-3-1 with a 1.87 goals-against average at home.
Pick: Coyotes -126
