Tuesday's suggestions

After an awful start to the week, we're calling it the New Year's Eve crap out, we recovered and minimized the damage for the week - one bad pick (Tampa Bay) and a few questionable officiating calls left us at - $260 for the week. The total for the year is still pretty ugly (-$2,150) but we'll keep chipping away at it.

For those of you checking in for tonight's suggestions.

New Jersey over Buffalo - the Sabres are in a tailspin right now and things aren't going to be any easier for them tonight against a rested Martin Brodeur and the Devils. Brodeur has won 8 of his last 9 home starts against the Sabres, you know what we say about bucking the trend. Lay $100 on New Jersey - $155.

Calgary over Phoenix - the Coyotes have been a surprisingly good road team - but they are up against the red-hot Flames, led by Maeple Leafs Jarome Iginla and Kristian Huselius. Lay $100 on the Flames - $165.

Detroit over Colorado - the Avs are hurting without Joe Sakic and Ryan Smyth, that won't help their cause as they travel to Detroit to face the Wings. What you need to know: the Wings are almost unbeatable at home, while the Avs are very beatable on the road. Lay $100 on the Wings - $220.

Nashville over LA Kings - the Preds got steamrolled last night by the Ducks, but they'll rebound against the Kings who have been brutal at home of late. Lay $100 on Nashville even.

Montreal over Chicago - the Blackhawks are a mess right now, with six regulars out of the lineup - factor in their poor special teams and you have a recipe for a beatdown against the Habs. Lay $100 on the Habs - $180.

That's it for today gang - good luck if you play them.
