NHL Best Bets Today (Blues Lack of Shooting Will Cost Them Against Bruins)

After a hot couple of weeks, I'm on a cold streak. I've lost 7 of 8 bets in the last 8 NHL games.

The St. Louis Blues are last in 5-on-5 shooting percentage and 26th in CORSI%. The Bruins are one of the best teams in the NHL in almost every area.

Flames/Islanders is a game I'm betting on the over. The Islanders are a defense-first team, but they haven't lived up to their defensive potential this season. Flames were the best defensive team in the Western Conference last season, and they rank 14th in 5-on-5 expected goals against and 8th high-danger scoring chances allowed.

Washington Capitals are +125 underdogs at home against the Oilers. The Oilers are 15th and 16th in 5-on-5 CORSI% and they have a poor defense. Jack Campbell has a .874 save percentage on the season.
