Thanks to the approaching Winter Olympics, NHL teams are laboring through a condensed schedule this month that sees them play 15-plus games. That means we get many nights like tonight, when 22 teams are in action.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/handicappers\/\"><strong>HOCKEY BETTING TONIGHT?

The Pens have been dominant at Mellon Arena, sporting a 12-5-1 record, but the Devils are even better on the road, going 12-2-1 this season.<\/p>\n<p>The sizzling Pens have five straight victories. While Evgeni Malkin hasn\u2019t been his dominant self, he\u2019s opened up space for Sidney Crosby, who is enjoying his best goal-scoring season as a pro based on his pace. Another major reason for Pittsburgh\u2019s hot streak is Marc-Andre Fleury, who has a 2.00 goals against average this month.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s one big problem, however; not only are the Devils 2-0 against Pittsburgh this season, they won both those games in Pittsburgh (by a combined score of 8-2). Mellon Arena doesn\u2019t scare Jacques Lemaire\u2019s boys. Naturally, they\u2019re scoring a bit less than they did last year, but Lemaire has them playing the same stingy hockey they did under him in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Martin Brodeur has turned back the clock and the Devils, who haven\u2019t lost a road game in exactly one month, should triumph again.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #FFFFFF;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bodogaffiliate.com\/resources\/ca-banners\/sportsbook\/square\/250x250\/250x250h-sportsbook.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Sports Betting at the Sportsbook\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick: Devils +120<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Boston Bruins @ Ottawa Senators<\/h3>\n<p>Tonight, 7:35 p.m. ET<br \/>\nSportsbook odds: Bruins +105, Senators -125<\/p>\n<p>Say what you want about the Senators\u2019 mental toughness but they\u2019re a good hockey team whenever they play in their comfy Scotiabank Place. They\u2019re 13-4-3 there and have won three straight at home. They\u2019re adjusting to life without Jason Spezza but it\u2019s not like the real Jason Spezza showed up for the 2009-10 season anyway. Mike Fisher\u2019s breakout continues as his 15 goals in 33 games have already eclipsed his 2008-09 total of 13.<\/p>\n<p>The Bruins are 2-0 against the Sens this season but Ottawa may be catching them at the right time. The Bruins have lost four straight, including three to teams below them in the standings. They\u2019re also playing their third game in four nights after losing in Chicago on Friday and in Toronto on Saturday. They\u2019re starting to sag, primarily because they\u2019re struggling to score. No Bruin averages a point per game this season, not even Marc Savard, and hockey betting sharps are starting to wonder if Phil Kessel, not Savard, was the offensive catalyst of Boston\u2019s first line last year after all.<\/p>\n<p>You can safely bet under the total in this matchup as the Bruins are one of hockey\u2019s best defensive teams and the Senators aren\u2019t an offensive juggernaut. But go for the hometown Sens in the end, as the Bruins lack confidence and can\u2019t buy a goal right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick: Senators -125<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.bettingpartners.com\/_TcMlrmSOeQxhg6WO2I1rgWNd7ZgqdRLk\/1\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CLICK HERE TO CHECK OUT BODOG.COM&#8217;S NHL HOCKEY BETTING LINES FOR TONIGHTS MATCHUPS!!!!<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<em><strong> <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight 22 NHL teams are in action.
