Dallas Stars at San Jose Sharks (-185, 5.na shot, it’s good to have a natural goal scorer back on a line with Joe Thornton and Dany Heatley. Setoguchi has eight goals in 10 games.

Backup goalie Thomas Greiss got a rare start in the Nashville game which means Evgeni Nabokov will be back between the pipes Thursday night.

That’s bad news for a low-scoring Dallas club. Nabokov sports a tidy 2.14 goals against average and a .925 save percentage.

Pick: Under


Montreal Canadiens at Phoenix Coyotes (-140, 5.5)

The Habs and Coyotes are two of the coldest teams in the league. Montreal has just two wins in its last seven games while the Coyotes have lost three of four.

Thankfully for both sides, someone’s got to leave Thursday’s game with two points.

The talk in Montreal is all about the goaltending situation where Jaroslav Halak continues to outperform young star Carey Price. Things got even uglier over the weekend when Halak’s agent posted some critical comments about Price on Twitter.

“It has nothing to do wit me. I just try to control what I say,” Halak told the Montreal Gazette. “I didn’t talk to Carey about it, but he knows it has nothing to do with me.”

The Habs dropped their latest game to the Flames 1-0 and wasted a great performance from Halak in the process. The power play is the big issue for Montreal. Snipers Michael Cammalleri and Brian Gionta have just three power-play makers between them so far this season.

Pick: Under
