Here are today’s NHL Hockey picks for Saturday, March 6 and it includes a best bet selection from the Toronto vs. Ottawa game which will be live from coast to coast on CBC Hockey Night in Canada.

Ron’s NHL Picks – March 6th

Pittsburgh PK -220 vs. Dallas: The Stars are playing an afternoon game vs. Crosby and the Pens and Fleury is a perfect 3-0 vs. the Stars. Dallas is looking at a tough weekend, because after Crosby today, they have Ovechkin waiting on deck tomorrow.


ATSDatabase.com Stat of the Game: When PITTSBURGH team Played as Home team as a Favorite - Before a conference game - After a conference game - Scored 5 goals FOR in their last game: The Penguins are 17-2-1 SU in this role since 1996.

NY Islanders PK +120 vs. Boston: Look for Roloson to get the nod here vs. the Bruins, he’s 5-1 SU lifetime and the Bruins are off an emotional win over Toronto, so there’s your letdown factor and your look a head factor with the Pens on deck.


ATSDatabase.com Stat of the Game: When BOSTON team played as a Road team - playing on Saturday - Last 4 years - Coming off vs Northeast division opponent; the Bruins are 4-11 SU in this role the L4Y.

Toronto PK +180 vs. Ottawa
The Senators have serious goaltending issues right now and the Leafs always give them a hard time at the Scotiabank place. Plus, this game is like a home game for the Leafs, as half the fans in the building are Leaf fans.


ATSDatabase.com Stat of the Game: When TORONTO team played as a Road team - With 1 day off - Total is 5.5 - Coming off a Road loss as a Underdog; The Leafs are 8-4 SU in this underdog role.

Carolina PK -110 vs. Florida
The Hurricanes are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now and consistency is a big reason why the Panthers are 6 points out of a playoff spot.


ATSDatabase.com Stat of the Game: When CAROLINA team Played as Road team as a Underdog - Vs Conference Opponent - With 1 day off - Coming off 1 under; the Hurricanes are 14-5 SU in this underdog situation.

Tampa Bay PK -140 vs. Atlanta
Nittymaki owns the Thrashers, he’s 16-0 lifetime vs. John Anderson’s team and this is exactly what the Lightning need right now in this game 5 losing streak.

Anaheim PK +120 vs. Phoenix
The Coyotes are coming off a big win over the Avalanche and the Ducks will mostly likely go with Hillier who is 8-1 SU vs. the Coyotes lifetime.


ATSDatabase.com Stat of the Game: When PHOENIX played as Home or Away Team- in the month of March; the Coyotes are 11-24 SU in this spot the last 35 games.

St.Louis PK +110 vs. Colorado
The Blues have got their act together now, they’ve won 5 straight games, they are getting decent goaltending from Mason and the Avs have only scored 1.8 goals for in their last 5 games.


ATSDatabase.com Stat of the Game: When ST LOUIS team Played as Road team as a Underdog - Vs Northwest opponent - After a conference game - Coming off vs Pacific division opponent; the Blues are 9-3-2 SU in this spot.

Montreal PK +165 vs. LA Kings
The Canadiens let one slip away vs. San Jose on Thursday, but they get to redeem themselves vs. the Kings who are a bit over priced in this situation. Price or Halak could get the job done in this spot and it’s a great price. No pun intended!


ATSDatabase.com Stat of the Game: When MONTREAL team played as a Road team - With 1 day off - Total is 5.5 - Coming off a 1 goal loss; The Canadiens are 10-4 SU in this role since 1996.

San Jose PK -260 vs. Columbus
Hard to back a team like the Blue Jackets who are 1-16 lifetime at the Shark tank and the Sharks just have their number. Nabokov is 18-4 SU vs. Columbus.


ATSDatabase.com Stat of the Game: When SAN JOSE team Played as Home team as a Favorite - Last 2 years - With 1 day off - Coming off a 1 game win; the Sharks are 11-0 SU in this spot L2Y.

Washington PK vs. NY Rangers
Still no odds on this game, but with the trades the Caps made at the trade deadline, they are an improved team and I give them the slight nod here vs. an emerging Rangers team.
