NHL Picks March 7: Kings and Bruins Featured Game

As the NHL season gets closer to the post-season, every game becomes more important in the playoff seedings. There are some key games for March 7 with the Bruins hosting the Kings headlining the action.

Los Angeles Kings versus Boston Bruins

The Kings enter 5th in the Western Conference and the Bruins are 7th in the Eastern Conference. Boston has a +24 to +21 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Score Predictor likes the Bruins by a 4-3 score with 49 percent confidence. Both teams have been trending in games “over” the line. Boston has been more stable, at +18 to +10 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. Go with Boston at home by a goal in a game going “over” the line.

Florida Panthers versus Buffalo Sabres

The Panthers come in 2nd in the Eastern Conference and the Sabres are 2nd from the bottom. Florida is “average” versus “dead up” and +26 to +1 on the Power Ranking Indicator. The Score Predictor sees Florida winning by a goal with 58 percent confidence. Notice that both teams have been consistently performing according to their favorite/underdog status, as indicated by the Team Volatility Oscillator. Over the last 12 games, the teams have been involved in games over the line 10 times. Look for Florida to win by two goals in a game “over” the line.

Colorado Avalanche versus New York Islanders

Colorado has the best record in the NHL and heads to New York to face the Islanders, who are in the bottom half of the Eastern Conference. Colorado is “average” and +25 on the Power Ranking Indicator, while the Islanders are “ice cold down” and +14, respectively. Both teams have been trending in games going “over” the line and the Score Predictor likes Colorado by a 4-3 score with 40 percent confidence. I don’t see much of a chance for New York, despite playing at home. Colorado will win by a few goals in high-scoring game.

Edmonton Oilers versus Calgary Flames

The Oilers are 7th in the Western Conference and the Flames are 2nd in the conference. Calgary has a +27 to +19 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and “average” versus “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Both teams have been involved in games “over” the line in four of their last six games. The Flames are a little more stable at +11 to +9 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. The Score Predictor likes the Flames by a 5-4 score with 58 percent confidence. This could be the highest-scoring game of the day with the Flames edging the Oilers, perhaps in overtime.
