Colorado Avalanche vs. Montreal Canadiens

Matchup Preview
Colorado comes into this game having gone 2-3 over their previous five NHL games and sits eighth in the Western Conference. The Avalanche have the 23rd-best ATS record in the NHL this season while opponents Montreal have the 4th-best ATS record. Montreal has also been a profitable endeavor having produced +3.8 units of profit on the moneyline compared to Colorado’s -2.1u.
However, this doesn’t tell the whole picture as Colorado is fighting for the playoffs while Montreal is sitting 14th in the Eastern Conference having gone 3-7 over their last 10 NHL games including their current 0-4 winless streak.

- Rafael Harvey Pinard (Montreal Canadiens) – Under 1.5 Shots (+140) at Bet365
- Nathan MacKinnon (Colorado Avalanche) – Anytime Goalscorer (+105) at Bet365
- Cale Makar (Colorado Avalanche) – Over 0.5 Assists at (-130) at FanDuel
Best Player Prop Pick
Our favorite value bet of the three above has got to be Nathan MacKinnon to score anytime at +105 odds with Bet365. Firstly the Montreal Canadiens allow the sixth most amount of shots per game and allow 3.55 goals against per game.
On top of that, MacKinnon has been on fire lately scoring a goal in 14 of his previous 17 games, which is insane. Odds-wise alone 14 goals in 17 games is calculated as -450. There is value to be had here so let’s take it, we would bet this down to as low as -120.
NHL Pick: Nathan MacKinnon Anytime Goalscorer (+105) at Bet365
Dallas Stars vs. Seattle Kraken
Monday, March 13, 2023 – 10:00 PM EDT at Climate Pledge Arena
Matchup Preview
Both the Stars and Kraken face each other for the second time in three days in this very arena where the Dallas Stars came away as 4-3 overtime winners thanks to Miro Heiskanen’s goal on Saturday night.
The Kraken will be hoping they can pick up a home victory now to keep peace with the Stars as they now trail them by four points in the Western Conference. Although it could be difficult as the Stars have the third-best away form in the Conference while Seattle is 1-4 in their previous five home games.

Best Player Prop Pick
A low-scoring affair is predicted by our computer, and with this in mind, we stayed away from the goalscoring market as we couldn’t find any strong odds, however, we do like the +125 available on Joe Pavelski to get his 43rd assist of the season.
Pavelski has scored an assist in 5 of his previous 7 games and has had his best game-to-assist ratio against Pacific Division teams this season averaging an assist every 1.4 games.
NHL Pick: Joe Pavelski Over 0.5 Assists (+125) at Bet365
