As we hit the mid-week point, the National Hockey League presents us with a rather quiet two-game slate. The Boston Bruins and the Anaheim Ducks are tonight’s favorites, and none of the four teams in action are playing on consecutive nights.

Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins – It’s an easy choice in goal tonight with Tuukka Rask leading the way in all formats. The Boston Bruins are the only big favorite tonight, and Rask has been sensational in goal of late. The Montreal Canadiens are not only struggling to win hockey games these days (dropping seven of their last nine games), they are also having troubling putting the puck in the net, ranking 29th overall in the National Hockey League in goals per game. It is a no-brainer in net tonight, simply lock and load Rask and move on.
