Atlanta Thrashers at Carolina Hurricanes
The Hurricanes are leading their division but the Thrashers are only 3-points back with two games in hand. The Thrashers are 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. Eastern Conference opponents. Atlanta is 12-5 in their last 17 games vs. Division opponents. The Hurricanes dealt Stillman a couple of weeks ago and then Brind'amour went down and both will hurt Carolina's playoff chances. This will be their 3rd game in 4 night and in their last 5 games played in this scenario they are 1-4. The Thrashers are 5-0 in their last 5 trips to Carolina. Atlanta has won 4 of the last 6 meetings overall.
Taking Atlanta (+1.5)!
Good luck!

Boston Bruins at Florida Panthers
This is a big game for both teams but its arguably bigger for the Panthers. That's because if the season finished today, Boston would be in the playoffs while Florida would not be. The Panthers should be happy to be back at home as they haven't played here very often this month. In fact, they've played seven road games in February but just three at home. They won two of those three home games, most recently a 4-2 win over the Capitals.
The teams have split two games this season but the Panthers took the most recent, winning 6-3 on 02/09. Bruins goalie Tim Thomas got shelled in that game, falling to 1-5-1 with an ugly 4.86 goals-against average in seven career games against the Panthers. Naturally, the Bruins would love to avenge that defeat. However, it should be mentioned that over the past three seasons, they're just 39-76 (-31.4) when facing a team which defeated them in the previous meeting. The Bruins won their most recent game, 3-2 vs. Carolina. They very nearly suffered a major collapse along the way though, as they squandered a 2-goal lead in the final 63 seconds of the third period, before eventually winning in overtime. Note that the Bruins haven't won two games in a row this entire month.
Including last week's win over the Capitals, the Panthers are 10-4 their last 14 home games played in the month of February. They're also 7-1 the last eight meetings overall in this series.
Taking Florida!
Good luck!
