NHL Bets Today: Odds, predictions and picks for Friday, December 2nd

The best bet on the Kraken had some market resistance and things went south quickly as the Capitals jumped out to an early 2-0 lead. Seattle battled back and tied the game late in the third period and won in overtime. There are just three games scheduled for Friday.

There are no bets on Friday. I track my bets using Betstamp. The bets reveal themselves after the games start. All game lines via DraftKings Sportsbook and BetMGM Sports Book.

Ottawa Senators are playing at New York Rangers. Ottawa lost to the Rangers at home earlier this week. The Senators lost 3-1 in a game in which the backup goalie, Jaroslav Halak, started. This time, the Senators might have to face off against the starter Igor Shesterkin. If the home team wins, their odds will be higher than the current price of -175.

Nashville Predators beat New Jersey in overtime on Thursday. Kevin Lankinen will probably start in goal for Nashville against New York Islanders on Friday. Ilya Sorokin is the backup goalie for the Islanders. New Yorkers are a good bet at the current odds. They have three straight games against Western Conference opponents. If Ilyas Sorokins starts, they should be priced around -168.

Winnipeg Jets are one of the hottest teams in the league. They have lost just four of their last 16 games. Connor Hellebuyck is the team's main reason for success. Patrick Laine is expected to return to the Columbus Blue Jackets' lineup after missing the last seven games and starting goaltender Elvis Merzlikins is also expected back after a hip injury.
