    Analysis

    The Canucks have pretty clearly quit now having dropped seven straight and the past four by multiple goals after we cashed in their 6-3 defeat in Montreal on Monday. Winger Kiefer Sherwood (23 points), a top trade candidate, was out injured and will miss at least a week. Should be Kevin Lankinen in net Tuesday, and he has dropped three in a row with a 3.31 GAA. Needs to be a get-right game for playoff-hopeful Ottawa on a four-game skid. The Sens do miss No. 1 netminder Linus Ullmark, who is mysteriously away from the club. But Vancouver is in much worse shape.

    Analysis

    Tampa heads to Pittsburgh for the 2nd of a back to back with a rarity; starting goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy gets the nod after Johanssen started vs the Flyers. The Lightning also lost one of their top scorers Brayden Point on Monday to a knee injury that could sideline him a while. On the other side the Penguins have found their defensive footing registering the best expected goals against across all situations over their last five games. I'm going to expect defense to dominate and a total to only move one way before puck drop.

    Analysis

    Andy Bronkema's Chips have faced several uptempo foes this season and haven't tried to slow the pace on any of them, so no reason to think differently tonight at Oxford vs. unbeaten Miami-O. Travis Steele's RedHawks will certainly be ready to run, as they're top ten-ranked in scoring (92.9 ppg), while ranking first nationally in FG accuracy (53.4%) and 3-point shooting (41.4%)...quite a parlay! With five active double-digit scorers led by 6-8 soph wing Brant Byers (15.1 ppg) and the whole roster capable of shooting 3s, there are lots of ways Miami is hurting the many lesser opponents it has faced. Ranking 304th in scoring defense at 78.7 ppg, CMU seems an unlikely candidate to slow down the Miami machine. Play CMU-Miami-Ohio Over.

    Analysis

    KenPom ranks Toledo 21 spots higher entering this MAC matchups on a "Blue Out" Night. The Rockets are led by the backcourt trio of Sonny Wilson (16.9 ppg), Leroy Blyden (15.1 ppg), and Kyler Vanderjagt (12.8 ppg) along with the frontcourt duo of Sean Craig (12.8 ppg) and Austin Parks (10.8 ppg). Craig ranks second in the MAC with a team-high 8.1 RPG. Toledo is tied for first with 13.5 offensive rebounds per game in league play. It has won nine straight in this series and seven in a row at Savage Arena vs. the Bobcats.

    Analysis

    The Badgers have won nine straight meetings and 18 of the past 20. They just won at Michigan, a monumental achievement. But now they have to quickly re-focus for a huge rivalry game at improving Minnesota. The Gophers, who are 9-1 at home, had their five-game win streak snapped in an OT loss to USC. But I like Niko Medved's team, which had an extra day of rest, to possibly pull the upset -- as long as Minnesota avoids serious foul trouble. The Gophers lead the nation in assist rate and allow the third-fewest points (66.1) in the Big Ten.
