- Kraken vs. Golden Knights: Golden Knights in Regulation (+100) at Bet365
With another monster NHL slate ahead of us, we have been able to zone in on our selections much quicker using our OddsTrader’s computer picks.
We are targeting two games on today’s card. With 2 of our 4 teams being involved in a back-to-back situation, we think you can gather which teams we are targeting tonight.
Washington Capitals vs. Boston Bruins
Tuesday, April 11, 2023 – 07:00 PM EDT at TD Garden
Washington on Back-to-Back
The Washington Capitals finally won last night. They claimed just their 4th win in their previous 15 games.
The Capitals have fallen outside the playoff race a long time ago and they are not going to be very motivated playing the most dominant team in the league in the second of a back-to-back situation.
Bruins Keep Winning
Despite the Bruins having wrapped up the division and conference a long time ago, one would think they would take their foot off the pedal, but no. This team just keeps on winning.
Boston has now gone 13-2 in their previous 15 games as well as having gone 12-3 in their previous 15 home games. They have been the most profitable team this season by a long shot having produced +19 units of profit on the moneyline.
The Pick
Washington beat Boston 2-1 the last time these teams faced off at the TD Garden. It’s almost unconceivable to believe the Bruins would lose twice in a row on home ice to this current Washington team. Boston come into this game well rested and have boasted a very impressive 33-4-3 home record.
Our computer is predicting a 4-1 victory for the home team tonight, which we are in much agreement about. We are taking the Bruins to cover the spread on home ice here at -128.
Washington are just 5-15 in their previous 20 road games and have failed to cover the spread in 8 of their previous 10 losses.
NHL Pick: Bruins -1.5 (-128) at BetMGM
Seattle Kraken vs. Vegas Golden Knights
Tuesday, April 11, 2023 – 10:00 PM EDT at T-Mobile Arena
Seattle on 5-0 Winning Streak
The Seattle Kraken were in a race to the playoffs up until a few days ago where they finally secured their playoffs with a 7-3 victory over Chicago, but since then, this team has not slowed down, beating Arizona 4-1 on the road, and bringing their winning streak to 5-0.
With that said, they are on a back-to-back situation here and tonight will mark their 3rd game in five nights, whilst this will be just the Vegas Golden Knights 2nd game in five nights.
Golden Knights Can Wrap up Conference
The Golden Knights have been stumbling towards the finish line. Despite having held the lead at the top of the Western Conference for a few weeks now, they currently lead 2nd placed Edmonton by 2 points, having gone to overtime in 3 of their previous 5 games and winning just two of them.
As much as they are struggling to the finish of the season, a home game against a team who have secured the playoffs for the first time in history, having played an extra game and on a back-to-back will put a big smile on their faces.
The Pick
Both these teams only have two games left in this regular season, and that’s both against each other in a mini two-game series. The Golden Knights only need to win one of those two to secure the Western Conference. They will hope to do it tonight on home ice as opposed to leaving it up to lady luck on the final day of the season on the road to Seattle.
Our computer predicts the Golden Knights to win 3-2. We believe it could be more like 5-2. Take the Golden Knights in regulation at some nice plus money.
