NHL picks today, hockey odds, betting lines, schedule: Top expert reveals best bets, predictions, parlay for Friday, April 14

The 2022-23 NHL regular season is down to its final day and final two games. In a Western Conference matchup, the defending Stanley Cup champion Colorado Avalanche hit the road to take on the Nashville Predators with the Central Division title on the line. The Avs are listed at -225 on the moneyline (risk $225 to win $100), with Nashville coming in at +185. With a win, the Avalanche leap ahead of the Dallas Stars and win the division. In the other game of the night, the Buffalo Sabres (-170) take on the Columbus Blue Jackets (+143). Both teams have been eliminated from postseason contention.

We can tell you that one of Kaylor's top NHL picks for Friday is the Colorado Avalanche to beat the Nashville Predators -225 odds (risk $225 to win $100). "This game comes down to the Avalanche having something to play for, with the Central Division title there for the taking. Colorado has battled injuries all season and found a way to contend, and I believe they'll get the job done in Nashville on Friday night."
