NHL Picks March 6: Washington versus Los Angeles Headline Action

The NHL season has reached the home stretch and teams are still vying for playoff positions. There are six games scheduled for Monday, March 6 with the Kings hosting the Capitals as the featured game.

Edmonton Oilers versus Buffalo Sabres

Both teams come into play 4th in their respective divisions. Buffalo is “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +11 on the Power Ranks Indicator, while Edmonton is also “average” and +8. The teams have been trending in games “over” the line and the Score Predictor likes Buffalo by a 4-3 score with 43 percent confidence. The Sabres won the first games between the teams this season, 4-2 on the road. Note that the Oilers are -2 on the Team Volatility Oscillator, showing poor stability. I like Buffalo at home in a game “over” the line.

Calgary Flames versus Dallas Stars

Dallas comes in first in the Central Division and Calgary is 5th in the Pacific Division. Calgary is “ice cold down” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +10 on the Power Ranks Indicator. Dallas is “ice cold up” after winning two straight and is +23 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The Score Predictor likes Dallas by a 4-3 score with 55 percent confidence. Dallas won the first game between the teams this season, 6-5. Both teams are trending in games “over” the line. I like Dallas to win by two goals in a game “over” the line.

Ottawa Senators versus Chicago Blackhawks

Ottawa is 5th in the Atlantic Division and Chicago is last in the Central Division. The Senators are “burning hot” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +14 to +2 on the Power Ranks Indicator. Chicago won the first game between the teams this season in overtime on the road. The Score Predictor has Chicago by a 4-3 score with 66 percent confidence. The teams have been trending in games “over” the line in each of the last seven games. The Volatility Oscillator indicates that both teams are consistent with regard to their favorite/underdog status. Go with Ottawa in a game “over” the line.

The Kings enter 2nd in the Pacific Division and are favorites in this one with odds of 1.59 to 2.584. They are “average” versus “ice cold up” on the Team Strength Oscillator and +26 to +17 on the Power Ranks Indicator. The teams have been involved in games “over” the line in nine of the last 12 combined, and the Score Predictor likes Los Angeles, 4-1, with 62 percent confidence. Washington won the first game between the teams this season as a home favorite. I like the Kings to even the score, but will pass on the over/under bet.
