NHL Betting Odds and Predictions on Opening Night

The NHL has two opening night games on ESPN tonight. The league started on Friday with Nashville Predators playing San Jose Sharks. All season long we will highlight betting odds and predictions for each night.

The road to the Stanley Cup playoffs starts tonight. The first game is a rematch of the Eastern Conference Final from last year.

The Rangers are favored in this game, but the margin is close on the moneyline. The Lightning are fresh off a defeat in the Stanley Cup Final and have to be hungry to start the season on a good note. With two stellar goaltenders, the only bet I would make would have been the under 5.5 goals scored.

Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings are playing on opening night. The game is a rematch of the Eastern Conference Final from last season. Vegas Golden Knight's Phil Kessel joined the team this summer from Arizona.

The Kings are trying to improve off of last season's success. The Golden Knights have a shaky goalie. FuboTV has live NHL games on ESPN. It is a service that broadcasts live TV over the internet, no cable required.
