We have a matchup today between two of the best defensive teams in the NHL, combining for only 5.4 goals per game. Despite the NY Rangers having a respectable offense, which scores 3.35 goals per game, their opponents Washington are the second lowest scorers in the league, scoring only 2.4 per game.
The Capitals have seen under five game goals in each of their previous five NHL outings.
We are loving the odds on the under 6.0 goal line in this NHL matchup at -125 NHL betting odds, if this game ends on six goals we will receive a push. The Capitals are 26-5 to the under 6.5 goals line this season.
Back the under 6 goals line in this matchup, even our OddsTrader computer is predicting a 3-2 home victory.
NHL Pick: Under 6 Goals (-125) at Bet365

The battle of Florida takes place tonight, and there’s only one point separating the Panthers and the Lightning, although just one point separates Florida in 5th position in the east and Tampa Bay in 8th position, the Panthers have the added advantage of having played two games less than their state rivals.
We are backing Tampa Bay’s Brayden Point to get back on the scoreboard tonight following his goalless game last time out during a 2-1 victory over the Washington Capitals.
Point has proved to struggle on home ice compared to the road, having scored just five times on home ice compared to 11 on the road, but this is a rivalry game and the Lightning will be eager to win given their disadvantage in the games played department.
Point has had a very strong record against the Panthers in recent games, having now scored 8 goals in his previous 8 games. We like the value at +150 for Point to get on the scoreboard here, even if it is against a rivalry, we would bet this down to as low as +135.
NHL Pick: Brayden Point Anytime Goalscorer (+150) at Bet365

This is one post-Christmas game we are very much looking forward to betting the over in. Both the Minnesota Wild and Detroit Red Wings have seen an overall over record sitting at 37-27 this season.
Minnesota has seen the 6th most amount of games go over the total in the Western Conference, while the Red Wings have seen the 2nd most go over the total in the Eastern Conference.
Interestingly, both teams have seen their previous five games go under/over/over/over and under the total. Tonight we are hoping the total over gets back on the trend as we are backing the over 6.0 goals line for -120 NHL betting odds.
We like the fact we will receive a push here if the game only ends on six goals, as we expect this game should be capable of producing six goals at the very least. The Red Wings are without two of their regular goaltenders for this meeting and it could prove to help us with the over.
NHL Pick: Over 6.0 Goals (-120) at Bet365
