Hockey Night In Canada: NHL betting preview
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Toronto Maple Leafs at Detroit Red Wings (-185, 5.5)

Points have become precious for the Maple Leafs, who are making things interesting down the stretch as they battle for the No. 8 seed in the East. The Red Wings don’t have those concerns, but should be eager to snap a late-season losing streak.

Maple March

Despite trading away names like Tomas Kaberle and Kris Versteeg, the Maple Leafs orchestrated an impressive March. They will take a 7-5 mark into this Original Six matchup and have won three in a row.

Goaltender James Reimer has been the difference. He’s won all three on this current streak and hasn’t allowed more than three goals in any of those games.

Detroit will be a different beast, but the confidence has to be high and that starts from the net out.

Rough run against royalty

The Red Wings are saddled with a surprising three-game skid and what has to be alarming, especially this late in the year, is that they’re losing to clubs that could give them trouble in the playoffs.

On Wednesday, they lost to Vancouver, 2-1. On Monday, they lost to Pittsburgh, 5-4, in overtime. They even lost to upstart Nashville, 3-1, Saturday night.

But when you’re the Red Wings, you do not panic. And really, there’s no need to. Coach Mike Babcock’s group is still in first place in the Central Division and if the season ended Thursday night, the Red Wings would be the No. 2 seed in the West.

Osgood not good

How many terrific postseason runs have been keyed by goaltender Chris Osgood? Enough to know that being without him might be a problem moving forward.

Osgood has a lingering groin injury and just this week, Detroit put him on long-term injured reserve. The playoffs are not out of the question for him and Osgood, at this point of his career, is simply insurance for Jimmy Howard.

That said, it’d sure be nice to have that veteran presence on the bench at crunch time. Minor-leaguer Joey MacDonald isn’t going to strike fear in opponents, should he be called on to replace Howard.

History

The Red Wings registered a 5-1 win over the Maple Leafs on Nov. 5, 2009. But don’t look much into that game. Osgood and Jonas Gustavsson were in net for it.



Calgary Flames at Edmonton Oilers (+160, 5.5)

Edmonton continues to make CBC work extra hard to make these nightcaps appealing. The Oilers have been a mess in March, but there is some value in watching the Flames, who are in a mad dash for the No. 8 seed in the West.

Sad streak

Edmonton was wiped off the board, 4-0, versus St. Louis Thursday, and so the bad beat goes on in March. The Oilers will carry an 0-6-2 skid into this game and they haven’t scored more than two goals in the last eight outings.

Jordan Eberle beat Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne at 9:38 of the second period on a power play Tuesday. It’s been Edmonton’s only goal this week, as it has been outscored in two losses, 7-1, to Nashville and St. Louis.

A Flame out?

Perhaps seeing a team that’s been worse than they’ve been the last few days might just inspire Calgary in front of the national audience. After all, a terrific second-half run is in jeopardy, as the Flames flutter through March.

Calgary’s 6-3 loss at San Jose Wednesday was the Flames’ third in a row, though they squeezed a point out of the first two. But that’s not going to cut it in the Western Conference playoff race, especially when you’ve lost six out of seven overall.

Not so Taylor made

There are plenty of reasons for Edmonton’s late stumble. But you have to think the absence of Taylor Hall has played a major part.

After injuring his ankle and being shut down for the year after his first NHL fight, a less-than-memorable scrap with Columbus’ Derek Dorsett, the Oilers are just 1-8.

History

The Oilers might be the perfect tonic for the Flames, who are already 3-1 against them this season. On New Year’s Day, Calgary notched a 2-1 victory. There’s an even split in the totals category, with two overs and unders.

Ice picks: Saturday's best NHL bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Jersey Devils at Buffalo Sabres (-125, 5)

After a terrific run, the New Jersey Devils’ margin for error is down to just about zero. They lost for the third time in four games on Tuesday, falling 4-1 to the Bruins.

The Devils came out of the gate quickly and outshot Boston 16-7 in the first period, but they took four penalties in the second session and Boston turned the tide.

"Tonight was a tight game, and we did a couple of uncharacteristic things and got out of our game a little bit, but we still feel confident in our game,” Brian Rolston told reporters after the loss. “We're still one of the best, if not the best team the second half as far as our stats, and we have to feel that way and feel confident about that."

That sounds all well and good but the truth is New Jersey may have just run out of steam. Buffalo has a lot on the line here too and has already checked into playoff mode.

Pick: Sabres


Dallas Stars at Nashville Predators (-150, 5)

On paper Nashville’s 5-4 win over a surging Anaheim Ducks team looks pretty good – Sergei Kostitsyn scored twice and four other Predators picked up two points while Pekka Rinne made 34 saves in the team’s fifth straight win.

But coach Barry Trotz doesn’t want to hear any more about statistics. He ripped his team for trying to force the puck to Kostitsyn to get him the hat trick with Anaheim’s net empty and wasn’t happy about Nashville’s play in its own end either.

"To expose (Rinne) like that, that's not what we do. That's not a team thing," Trotz said. "We exposed him, not only to risking us two points in the game, but we exposed one of the top goaltenders to have to make some real acrobatic saves when he probably didn't have to."

When Trotz gets riled up, this team responds. This is a huge game for Dallas as well but the club’s recent injuries are exposing its lack of depth.

Pick: Predators
