Chicago Blackhawks vs Columbus Blue Jackets
Wednesday, November 22, 2023 – 07:00 PM ET at Nationwide Arena
Betting Trends
- Chicago are 7-2 in their last 9 games against Columbus.
- Columbus are 0-9 in their last 9 games.
- Columbus are 1-5 in their last 6 games at home.
Chicago Value For Money
Taking a look at both teams, they’re about as bad as each other, with the Blue Jackets having a 4-15 record while the Blackhawks have had a 5-11 record to start. The Blackhawks are only on a 4-game losing streak, while the Blue Jackets are 0-9 in their previous nine.
This game could go either way, so give us the team with the better betting odds, and the first round draft pick in Connor Bedard, who leads the team with 15 points and thus far looks to be the real deal.
The Pick
This is not a guaranteed win for either team, and one would argue the visiting Chicago Blackhawks have a very reasonable chance to win this matchup. We value their odds to be in around +105 or thereabouts, so to get as much as +125 with Bet365 is a strong set of odds and value for money in our opinion.
Bedard can be bet at +350 to score over 1.5 points in this matchup, this is also a bet that we like in this game.
NHL Pick: Chicago Blackhawks ML (+125) at Bet365
Boston Bruins vs. Florida Panthers
Wednesday, November 22, 2023 – 07:00 PM ET at Amerant Bank Arena
Betting Trends
- David Pastrnak has scored 2+ points in 4 of his previous 5 games.
- Pastrnak has scored the most points per game this season in the NHL, averaging 1.7 per game.
- Pastrnak has scored 3 points in 3 of his previous five games.
David Pastrnak (Boston Bruins)
Who can argue against taking David Pastrnak’s points total to go over at plus money (despite being on the road and facing a strong defensive team)? Pastrnak has proven he can undo almost any defense, as he has scored at least one point in 82% of his games played thus far this season.
The 27-year-old Czech player has been on fire this season and we are more than happy to take his points total to go over yet again tonight, for what would be the 5th time in six games.
The Pick
He has scored 3/1/3/3/2 points in his previous five games and has already faced the Panthers once this season, registering one assist on the day. Pastrnak has also managed to score 11 points in his previous 11 games against the Florida Panthers.
The Florida Panthers have only allowed 2.7 goals per game this season and only allowed 2 per game in their previous three outings, but we believe Pastrnak can get at them tonight and would happily bet this down to +110.
NHL Pick: David Pastrnak Over 1.5 Points (+125) at Bet365
Philadelphia Flyers vs. New York Islanders
Wednesday, November 22, 2023 – 07:30 PM ET at UBS Arena
Betting Trends
- Philadelphia are 5-0 in their last 5 games.
- Philadelphia are 4-1 in their last 5 games against an opponent in the Metropolitan Division.
- NY Islanders are 1-7 in their last 8 games.
NY Islanders Can’t Be Trusted
The New York Islanders are bad right now, despite starting the season in a somewhat positive fashion, and with a 6-6-5 record, we must remember they have only won once in their previous seven games.
Meanwhile, opponents Philadelphia have been on fire in recent games, as they are currently on a 5-0 winning streak, scoring 22 goals, and allowing 11.
The Islanders are proving to be much worse than we initially thought, and their recent games have proven to be so, we can’t trust this team to win at -130, despite being on home ice.
The Pick
Even our computer is predicting a narrow win for the Flyers with a 2-2 predicted score, and the Flyers to possibly take it in overtime. We are more than happy to take the road team at +130 on the moneyline.
We must remember their opponents are on a bad run of form right now, winning their last game after regulation last time out proved to be their first win in seven outings.
NHL Pick: Philadelphia Flyers ML (+130) at Bet365
