Top NHL picks January 11: Bet Sharks to go over team total vs. Kings

There are four NHL games on Wednesday. There are three bets we're looking to make.

The Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers are playing low-event hockey. Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks should continue their scoring ways against the Toronto Maple Leafs and Los Angeles Kings.

Washington and Philadelphia are playing a game. Washington is allowing the 10th-fewest expected goals per 60 over the last two weeks. Philadelphia is fifth in team save percentage and 20th in expected goal per game (2.96). Washington has cashed unders at the eighth-highest rate (55.8%) in the NHL this season.

Predators are one of the better offensive teams in the league recently. Preds place fourth in expected goals per 60 and seventh in high-danger chances per60. Predators have topped the total in six consecutive games.

Sharks are a disaster defensively, but their offence continues to shine. San Jose leads the league in expected goals per 60 (3.82) over the last two weeks. Kings have allowed three or more goals in four of their last six games.
