Roman Hamrlik isn't happy with Montreal's effort lately.

Ice picks: Tuesday's best NHL bets

Tampa Bay Lightning at Buffalo Sabres (-135, 5.5)   odds provided by logans

Tampa Bay has a score to settle with Buffalo, as these two teams faced each other on Feb. 8 and the host Lightning got hammered 7-4.

They should have a good chance of avenging that loss on Tuesday in Buffalo. Tampa goalie Dwayne Roloson allowed seven goals in just 28 shots in the last meeting, but he is heating up heading into the playoffs. Roloson has allowed a total of four goals in his last three outings (all victories).

The Lightning, not coincidentally, have won five in a row and are coming off a 2-0 shutout of Chicago on Sunday. They clinched a playoff spot after last Thursday’s win over Pittsburgh and have climbed to within four points of Washington in the Southeast Division.

Buffalo is hanging tough in the race, currently seventh in the Eastern Conference with 90 points. The team has alternated wins and losses over its last five, although it has won five of its last seven.

The Sabres could be without top goalie Ryan Miller, who missed Sunday’s win over Carolina and is questionable with an upper body injury. Right wing Mike Grier (knee) and center Jochen Hecht (upper body) are also questionable.

Pick: Lightning

Chicago Blackhawks at Montreal Canadiens (-110, 5.5) odds provided by logans

A recent swoon has taken Montreal from a borderline playoff lock to a team fighting for its postseason life in the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens bounced back on Sunday with a 3-1 victory at New Jersey, but they have still lost four of their last six games.

And nobody is happy about it.

“We just were not ready mentally,” defenseman Roman Hamrlik said after last Wednesday's 6-2 loss at Carolina. “I don't think we competed, and they outworked us tonight.”

A few teammates took offense to that comment, and they are also in an uproar over former Canadien and new media member Georges Laraque saying that head coach Jacques Martin “has lost the room.”

One team that definitely won’t be hitting the panic button in the midst of a heated playoff race is Chicago, which sits in eighth place in the Western Conference, one point ahead of Calgary.

The Blackhawks have dropped three of their last five, but this is a contest in which the experience of winning the Stanley Cup last year could be a major factor.

Pick: Blackhawks

Trying to decide right now on how I am playing them. I have SENS PL+1.5 to NASH ML to VAN ML +220 penciled in right now. But I also have OTT ML so maybe I drop them from the 3 gamer and make it VAN to NASH for more units.

How dare u go against my Flyers DDH & i thought we were tight. lol..Cant agree with u there though buddy.They are getting hammered by every1 here in Philly.Coach Lav benched Leino during 3rd period of Rangers game and came out and said that nobodys job is safe.That they must earn icetime.Last time he called them out like this they went into Pitt and routed them 5-3(Pitt scored meaningless goal with secs left).Im taking them on ML though.Well maybe PL Par 2....lol

Leeky covered most of them but the L5 numbers for both NJ & PIT are crazy good for those of us backing the U 5. Both teams are scoring the same (lame) 1.6 per game and NJ is allowing just 1.8 while PIT is giving up 2 flat.....................................................................Also liking the U 5.5 in the WASH/LAFFS game,just riding the CAPS unders til the end of the year and probably into the post season.

Yesterday I lost the Under in the Rangers for -1.05 units on the night............. Today I am laying off of the Under in the Caps/Leafs since Toronto has gone Over in 5 in a row and the Caps went Over in their last 2 games..............But I am back on the UNDER 5 in the Devils vs Penguins game. The Devils did go Over last Friday, but there are still only 2 Overs in the last 26 games by the Devils. The home-road Unders for each team is also staggering with the Devils going 9-23-7 to the Under on the road and the Penguins at home are 13-25-2 favoring the Under. And then the main thing to know for this Under tonight is that the Devils and Pens have played 5 times this season and all games went UNDER and all games had a combined total of 4 or less goals. Here in the last 3 months they have played 3 times with scores of 2-0, 2-1, and a score of 1-0 just 11 days ago...............................And I agree with Tommy Toronto on the OVER 5.5 in the Blues/Avs. These teams have played each other 3 times this season and all had 7 or more goals. Tommy left out the stats by Halak and he has gone 0-2-0 with a 5.08 G.A.A. and .818 Save% in 2 starts against the Avs this season. Also, the Blues seem to be scoring well in their last 6 games overall with goals of 4, 6, 2, 10, 2 and then 6 in their last game on Sunday.......................I may add 1 more play but right now just these two Totals........UNDER 5 (-130) PENGUINS vs Devils, to win 1 unit....................... OVER 5 (-125) BLUES vs Avalanche, to win 1 unit...................Good Luck to everyone!

Who the hell is in goal for Columbus? Leneveu? With Nash out shouldn't we be jumping on Dallas? Just asking. Thanks.

Van not at home. Oil crew playing for jobs next year, Canuck players just want to get in and out with no injuries. Game could be another no-hitter. Beware.

COL & OVER - the last SIX times the Avs and Blues have met have resiulted in Colorado winning and the total going over. 6-0 is a trend I can't ignore.

After a short hiatus, a few picks. This part of the season is kind of like pre-season. As we head towards the playoffs some teams care and some teams don't. Teams that are out can have more intensity than teams that are in, and I think that over the final week it is prudent to give more weight to the situation than the stats...............The following plays are one unit each.............................Leafs/Caps under 5.5 - 123. Wash still in hunt for conference and Leafs playing out the string with pride and intensity........................Hawks over Habs -108. Again, intensity. Hawks not in yet and Habs seem to have been resting on their laurels.............................Avs/Blues U 5.5 Without Stastny, the Avs have little on offence. More than anything, this bet is an indictment against the scoring ability of Colorado.............................My POD is Vancity PL +154. After being humiliated by the Oilers on HNIC, I look for The Canucks to play a statement game at home that not only exacts revenge, but also speaks to their long term aspirations.................. I may add more units on this game.......GLA

NHL: San Jose vs. Los Angeles
Pick:
Los Angeles
Start:
May 23, 2013 - 10:30 PM
Capper:
Bryan Power
Offered at:
5dimes @ -145 Los Angeles
Analysis:

1* LA Kings (10:35 ET):  This series appears to be destined to go seven games. That's because neither team is able to win at the other's rink. So far this season, there have been eight meetings of these Pacific Division rivals. The home team has won all eight. So with things moving back to Los Angeles for Game 5 Thursday, one would certainly expect the defending Stanley Cup Champs to have the advantage....

In addition to the home ice advantage, a number of key trends also point towards a Kings victory here.  They are a perfect 11-0 at home after playing a road game this season while also going 19-8 the last two years when playing with double revenge.  In addition to dominating San Jose here at Staples Center, the Kings have won 24 of 29 home games this season overall.  Conversely, the Sharks are 1-7 on the road after playing a home game this season.  They have lost 18 of 28 on the road overall this season.

There hasn't been much scoring so far in this series with San Jose totaling just seven goals and Los Angeles at eight.  I think the Sharks will be victimized by a lack of scoring once again here as they barely average over 2 goals per game for the season away from home while the Kings give up less than that on average here at home. Kings go up 3-2 in the series.   1* LA Kings.
