The Capitals will be the home team at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland and it will be the 25th game in the NHL’s Stadium Series.

Let’s look at the game and NHL picks....
It is a matchup of Stanley Cup contenders on Thursday night on NBCSN, as the Pittsburgh Penguins visit the Boston Bruins. The Penguins are two-time defending champions, while the Bruins have the third-best record in the Eastern Conference.

Let’s look at Sunday’s game and NHL picks....
Two teams that had high expectations, but are now looking at rebuilding, meet on Thursday night, as the New York Rangers visit the Montreal Canadiens. The Rangers are in the midst of an extremely disappointing season and it could be that big name players like Rick Nash, Michael Grabner and Ryan McDonagh are traded before next week’s trading deadline.

Let’s look at this Sunday matinee and NHL picks....

It is a story that hasn’t gotten nearly enough attention, as it is inconceivable that an expansion team could lead the league in points....
The Washington Capitals are favored on Wednesday night, as they host the Philadelphia Flyers on NBCSN. The Flyers come out of the All-Star break in a playoff position, as they are tied with New Jersey for the top Wild Card spot, but there are seven teams in the Metropolitan Division separated by just five points and only four of those teams are going to make the playoffs.

NBCSN has a true rivalry game this week, as the Montreal Canadiens visit the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night.
