NHL: Daily Picks & Tidbit

By: Greg Isaac

Wednesday night is a lite one in the NHL with only 3 games on the docket. Lets take a look.

1) Calgary Flames at Ottawa Senators

Predicted Winner: Senators

2) Pittsburgh Penguins at Washington Capitals

Predicted Winner: Capitals

3) Nashville Predators at San Jose Sharks

Predicted Winner: Predators

The Flames are very active on the trade front right now. If they continue to struggle over the next 3-5 games I believe (speculating) you will see a semi-big trade involving them. It’s easier said then done to make trades obviously and normally you don’t see a lot of early season trade activity but for some of these clubs falling behind early the way they have, it seems like chatter has really picked up. Another issue for the Flames has been the play of defenseman Dougie Hamilton. Once Hamilton can get used to the system and pick his game up that will be a huge factor in the club improving its early season woes.
