Will Rogers Thursday 10* Red Light Special
(NHL) Calgary vs. Boston,
Money Line: -140.00 Boston (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: No need to overthink this one. Boston enters off a satisfying 4-2 win on New Years Day over the Blackhawks in the Winter Classic and I think it'll carry that momentum over here against an exhausted Calgary team which fought from behind and bested the Red Wings in Detroit just last night. From a situational stand point, there's no doubt that this one sets up great for the home side.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Calgary is just 2-6 in its last eight in Boston and only 3-10 in its last 13 road games vs. teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600, while Boston is 14-3 in its last 17 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Note that Bruins goaltender Jaroslav Halak is 8-1 with a 1.98 GAA at home as well. This line could/should easily be a lot larger in my estimation. Play on Boston.
