Top 3 NHL Betting Odds, Picks & Predictions: Friday (12/30)
There is a small four-game NHL slate on Friday. I give you my three best bets for Friday's NHL schedule.
Edmonton Oilers host Seattle Kraken in Pacific Division game on Friday (12/30). Seattle have lost seven of their last 10 games. Seattle's Martin Jones has a poor save percentage and a 3.51 goals against average against Edmonton. Edmonton's Stuart Skinner has been playing well this season. Edmonton has the best offensive tandem in hockey between Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
Nashville Predators are playing against Anaheim Ducks. Nashville won the first meeting between the two teams this year with a 2-1 overtime victory. The Predators have lost eight of their last 10 games. They have a better record than Anaheim in almost every statistical category. Juuse Saros is expected to start for Nashville. John Gibson is the other goalie for Anaheim. He has struggled in his 23 starts this season.
Pittsburgh Penguins host New Jersey Devils in a Metropolitan Division clash. The Devils are 1-7-1 over their last nine games. Pittsburgh is third in the division, but their defense is in disarray. Jeff Petry is on injured reserve, while Chad Ruhwedel and Kris Letang are day-to-day.
