Expert NHL Picks Today
Here are my top NHL picks today:
| Matchup | Pick | Odds | Confidence Level | Sportsbook |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Philadelphia vs. Minnesota | Over 6.0 | -110 | 7/10 | |
| Edmonton vs. Dallas | Dallas ML | -125 | 6/10 | |
| Colorado vs, Seattle | Seattle +1.5 | -135 | 8/10 |
Philadelphia Flyers / Minnesota Wild Over 6.0 (-110)
Two of the NHL’s top over teams go head-to-head in this matchup. Combined, these teams have gone 73-50-6 to the over this season. The Minnesota Wild have the third-highest number of games going over the total, while the Philadelphia Flyers own the 10th-best over record in the league.
Five of the last 10 meetings between these teams have seen six or more goals scored. Minnesota has also seen a high number of its games go over the total recently, with 70% of its last 10 games producing seven or more goals.
We like tonight’s 6.0 total, especially considering the Flyers have seen six or more goals scored in just two of their last 10 games. We are willing to lay the -110 NHL betting odds for this game to go over the 6.0 line, as the possibility of a push works in our favor.
We are predicting, at the very least, a 4-2 win for the Minnesota Wild. Let’s hope for that extra goal to cash the over.
Dallas Stars ML (-125)
This is an intriguing matchup tonight between the Dallas Stars and the Edmonton Oilers.
The Stars are on home ice and enter this NHL game as favorites. Dallas is priced at -125 on the moneyline, a number we are willing to lay. In our opinion, the Stars are bettable down to -135, with a predicted 4–3 victory.
Dallas enters this matchup with the third-best record in the NHL at 40-22. The traveling Oilers are ranked 18th overall with a 32-33 record. The Stars are red-hot heading into this game, having gone 9-1 in their last 10 outings. Their only loss during that stretch was a shootout defeat against the top-ranked Colorado Avalanche.
The Oilers are 4-6 in their last 10 games, and this should be another victory for the Stars.
Seattle Kraken +1.5 (-135)
We like the Seattle Kraken to cover the +1.5 puck line on home ice at -135 NHL betting odds. Although the Kraken face the Colorado Avalanche, Seattle is the second-best team against the spread in the NHL this season, going 40-23 overall and 22-11 on home ice.
Colorado is 30-33 against the spread this season and 15-16 when playing on the road. We like the Kraken to stay within one goal of the Avalanche tonight. Seattle will be looking for a response after losing its previous three home games, while Colorado has failed to win by two or more goals in its last three matchups.
We like the Kraken to cover the spread on home ice tonight.
