Having dispensed with their short-lived losing streak, the Carolina Hurricanes will turn their attention to Saturday's game against the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins. The defense that betrayed them by allowing 19 goals in their four straight losses was the catalyst in a 6-2 victory Thursday over the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets. Brett Pesce scored…

Teams throughout the NHL are starting to make a push to the playoffs. The Nashville Predators welcome the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night, and both of these teams have struggled of late. Buffalo is 20-18-2 and comes into this game, having lost three straight games, and all of those losses have come on their home ice. The Nashville Predators have…

The Minnesota Wild and the New York Islanders will look to stop the bleeding when they collide at UBS Arena on Thursday night, with the first puck drop scheduled for 7:37 p.m. ET. But something's gotta give. The Wild are riding a three-game losing streak and coming off a heartbreaking shootout loss to the New York Rangers at Maidson Square Garden…

David Pastrnak continues to pile up the goals for the Boston Bruins, who will host the Seattle Kraken Thursday in a battle of two of the league's highest-scoring teams. Pastrnak notched his 13th career hat trick Sunday in the Bruins' 7-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks, giving him 30 or more goals for the sixth time in his career. Six other players in…

The pandemic forced a lot of leagues to be creative, and the NHL was able to make a unique situation for the Montreal Canadiens two years ago. Playing in an all-Canadian division to help work with travel restrictions, Montreal finished in fourth place and defied NHL futures odds by making a run to the Stanley Cup Final before being dropped by…

Two of the hottest teams in the NHL will square off for the second and final time during the regular season. Since the start of December, the Rangers are tied for the fourth-best points percentage of.750, with the Stars eighth at.684. Both teams have connected on more than 25% of their power-play chances during that time. The Stars are 6-3-1 over…

There is no rest for the San Jose Sharks as they visit the Los Angeles Kings just a day after playing the Arizona Coyotes. The Sharks are thus underdogs on the NHL betting lines as the Kings look to make it four straight wins against them. However, San Jose could hold value, as this team has had success playing in L.A. in recent years. Let's check…

An unstoppable monster by the name of the Seattle Kraken meets its match with the deadly Buffalo Sabres. The visitors have won five straight and are unbeaten (4-0-0) in their current (mostly) East Coast road trip. The Sabres have won eight of their last 10, including their last three home games. The NHL odds are too tight for a good reason. Let's…

The Florida Panthers and Colorado Avalanche are the last two Presidents' Trophy winners and had the two best records last season. But right now, the two are skidding. We can blame injuries, problematic goaltending, or faltering offenses. Maybe it's all of them. Currently, the NHL odds favor the home team, but given how both teams have looked, are…

Two teams on opposite ends of the spectrum will meet up Monday when the Montreal Canadiens play host to the Seattle Kraken in an inter-conference game. Since Dec. 19, the Kraken have scored the most goals per game (4.50) in the NHL, while the Canadiens have allowed the most (4.67) over the same span. Defenseman Vince Dunn has nine points since Dec.…

NHL Central Division rivals are set to clash Tuesday night, when the Nashville Predators host the Dallas Stars. We still have a long way to go in the season, homestanding Nashville needs to start closing the gap in the standings. Dallas has won three of its last five, 20-9-6 and atop the division, seemingly a solid threat in the West. Nashville is…

Entering the UBS Arena, the Pittsburgh Penguins have not lost to a team other than Toronto and Carolina since Nov. 12. Pittsburgh is 13-3-2 and+17 in their last 17 games thanks mainly to a ridiculously good penalty kill: only three goals allowed in 52 attempts. They are favored on the NHL betting lines, though the Islanders have had a thing for…

The Tampa Bay Lightning and Detroit Red Wings last met on December 6, with Detroit picking up a somewhat shocking 4-2 win at Amalie Arena as+217 underdogs. These clubs have gone in opposite directions since then, with TB winning five of their last six and Detroit dropping six straight games. Oddsmakers like the Lightning for a mini-revenge, setting…

Expect plenty of scoring, at least for the Dallas Stars, when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets. The prolific Stars are favored on the NHL betting lines thanks to some lackluster defending from Columbus. Dallas is finishing its five-game road trip while the Blue Jackets are back at home following a disastrous three-game road swing of their…

The Washington Capitals face the Toronto Maple Leafs as slight underdogs on the NHL lines on Saturday. Coming back to the Capital One Arena is an old friend: goaltender Ilya Samsonov. He played 89 games for Washington before signing with Toronto in the offseason. Samsonov already beat Washington earlier this season and his old team looks to even it…

The Chicago Blackhawks visit the Minnesota Wild on Friday night following their home loss to the Pacific Division-leading Vegas Golden Knights. The loss for the Blackhawks was their fifth straight, while the Wild have won three in a row. Chicago's lone goal scorer in Thursday's setback was Taylor Raddysh. It was his ninth of the season and 13th…

The Colorado Avalanche are missing many of the players who led them to the Stanley Cup. Some headed elsewhere in the offseason while a few star players are on the injured list. Since falling to Boston 4-0 at home, Colorado has points in three straight games even with a makeshift lineup. The Avalanche will be playing a Buffalo team that lead the NHL…

The Pittsburgh Penguins, winners of six straight, look to stay hot on Thursday against the Florida Panthers in Florida. Pittsburgh hasn't lost a game since the end of November, and it took Carolina overtime to eke out a 3-2 win. The Panthers are also coming off a win, but it was their first in the last three games. They must step it up at home to…

Alex Ovechkin reached a major milestone in his last game and can make history again when the Washington Capitals host the Dallas Stars on Thursday night. This will provide a great betting online opportunity. Ovechkin became the third player in NHL history to reach 800 goals with a hat trick in Tuesday's win over Chicago. He needs one goal to tie…

The Seattle Kraken started the year off incredibly hot but the past few games have seen them slow down a bit. They've lost four out of their last five, allowing a total of 19 goals in the four losses. They also haven't scored over two goals in any of those contests. Seattle is hoping to change that against the Carolina Hurricanes. Carolina has just…

The Los Angeles Kings fell again on Tuesday, making it two straight losses for the side and three in their last four. Their effort wasn't a particularly competitive one either as they were stomped 6-0 by the Buffalo Sabres. They've allowed over five goals in each of their last three losses, so it's pretty clear that they are having defensive…

TheDetroit Red Wings started the week having lost three straight games and six out of their last eight. Next up is a matchup against the Minnesota Wild, who havewon six of eight. On paper, this looks like a pretty straightforward matchup for those who bet online - especially since Detroit is in the second half of a back-to-back. Will the Minnesota…

On a night when two of the three NHL games feature all-Canadian matchups, two teams in need of points get together when the Calgary Flames hit the road to face the Vancouver Canucks. When the Canadian rivals meet, a high-scoring affair should favor Vancouver as an average of 7.6 goals have been scored in five games played by the Canucks in December…

The last thing the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators need are more injuries to top offensive players. However, questions abound about who will be in the lineup when the teams meet on Wednesday. Cole Caufield is probable for Montreal while fellow forwards Jonathan Drouin and Brendan Gallagher are expected to be out until later this…

The Philadelphia Flyers started the season out hot with a 5-2-0 record but have come crashing down hard. Their record now sits at 9-13-7 as they've lost 20 out of their last 24 games. Now, they get the Colorado Avalanche, which just ended its own slump with a 3-2 overtime win in St. Louis on Sunday. Can they keep their momentum going and cash on…

The Washington Capitals are starting to find a groove. As they battled injuries, their season didn't start off so well, but they're starting to turn it around. They'll enter Tuesday on a four-game winning streak. On top of that, all four of those wins came against quality opponents. And better yet, their next opponent is one of the weakest in the…

Could fatigue be a factor for the NHL betting odds when the Dallas Stars and New Jersey Devils meet on Tuesday? It has already looked like it's been weighing on the Dallas Stars, who lost a close 2-1 game to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday. That came on the heels of back-to-back overtime wins, so they've played some extra hockey of late. Now they…

The Carolina Hurricanes started hot, cooled off, and are now hot again. That means those who bet online should be paying attention to this streaky team. The Hurricanes started the season 8-2-1 and then bizarrely dropped eight of their next 10 contests. Since then, though, they've picked up wins in five of their last six games with the lone loss…

The Seattle Kraken have been running hot and cold. Their latest 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers ended their three-game losing skid, and was on the heels of winning seven in a row. They now travel to Tampa Bay Tuesday night, drawing a Lightning team that is surging. Tampa Bay has won four out of its last five games, 10 out of their last 13. The…

The Calgary Flames have lost five straight road games but enter Montreal as greater than a 2-1 favorite. The NHL betting lines favor Calgary as the Canadiens have lost four of their last five home games. Montreal has also won four straight against the Flames though this one may come down to which goaltenders get the nod. Let's check the latest NHL…

The New Jersey Devils can tie the NHL record with their 12th straight road victory. The Detroit Red Wings won 12 straight road games from March 1-April 15, 2006. It was matched by the Minnesota Wild from Feb. 8-April 9, 2015. The Rangers are 5-6-4 at home this season with a minus-7 goal differential at home while the Devils have outscored their…

The Boston Bruins will look to turn the page on an ugly loss when it completes a home-and-home Sunday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Bruins didn't bring their usual effort against the Arizona Coyotes, a team theyt had beaten 19 straight times, and paid for it with their second loss in three games. The Coyotes scored the game-winning goal…

The 2022-23 NHL season continues to roll right along, and each matchup is starting to get much more important. The Dallas Stars are hosting the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night, and the home team needs to find a way to bounce back with a win. Ottawa has had a difficult season up to this point, as they have gone just 10-14-1 through their first 25…

The Detroit Red Wings continue to ride streaks. They enter Thursday's game with the Florida Panthers on a two-game winning streak. Prior to that, they had lost three in a row and, prior to that, they had a four-game winning streak, a four-game losing streak and a three-game winning streak. Meanwhile, the Panthers lost their seventh game out of…

The Nashville Predators have had quite the swing through the Eastern Conference with wins over Metropolitan Division-leading New Jersey as well as the New York Islanders. Now the road trip ends against the reigning Eastern Conference champion Tampa Bay Lightning. Nashville can reach the.500 mark on the road with a win. The Predators are 24th out of…

Columbus will be back on the ice for the fourth time in less than a week when Buffalo comes to town. The Blue Jackets have split the four games on the back end of back to backs. They will be facing a Buffalo team with points in five of its last seven games. Six of Buffalo's last seven games had at least eight combined goals while Columbus while 29…

The Seattle Kraken are coming off a 5-1 loss to the Florida Panthers but that was just their first loss in eight games. They had been one of the hottest teams in the league with a seven-game winning streak before that. On Tuesday, they'll host the Montreal Canadiens, who have hit a rough patch. Those who bet online have seen the Canadiens lose two…

There is a big slate of NHL games set to take place on Monday night, including a big matchup in Canada. The Vancouver Canucks are set to host the Montreal Canadiens, and the home team is looking for some revenge. Montreal comes into this game with a record of 12-11-1 and has lost two of its last three games. The Canadiens have been better than…

The Monday night matchup in the Big Apple features two teams in dire need of some positive results. Since Nov. 23, the Blues have the worst record in the NHL (1-5-0) and the Rangers are 1-4-1. Neither would be the playoffs if they started today. It doesn't help that St. Louis forward Jordan Kyrou is questionable while defensemen Scott Perunovich…

There are some interesting NHL matchups on the schedule on Monday night, including a big game in Philadelphia. The Flyers are set to host the Colorado Avalanche as both teams are looking to get back on track. Colorado comes into this game with 27 points on the year, but that's actually a much lower total than what was expected this season. The…

The best teams in the NHL come face-to-face this Monday night. The Boston Bruins host their old coach, Bruce Cassidy, who has the Vegas Golden Knights back atop the Western Conference. The NHL betting lines favor the Bruins, who put their 14-0-0 home record against Vegas's 11-2-1 road mark. Let's check the latest NHL odds, stats, injury reports,…

The 2022-23 NHL season continues to roll along, and there are a ton of betting online options on Thursday night. The Calgary Flames host the Montreal Canadiens in one of the matchups, and this game could end up being a pretty good battle. Montreal has won three of its last five games, but they are still struggling to really get going. The Canadiens…

Some big NHL games are on the schedule on Wednesday night, including a Western Conference showdown in Minnesota. The Wild will take on the Edmonton Oilers, and both teams are looking for a big win. Edmonton comes into this game having won three straight and is now sitting at 13-10-0 on the year. The Oilers are sitting in fourth place in the Pacific…

It has been a bit of a rocky start to the season for a New York Rangers team that was expected to be among the best teams in the Eastern Conference this season. The Rangers are currently two points out of the final playoff spot in the conference and their struggles in winning close games is one of the issues. The Rangers have won just one of the…

The Chicago Blackhawks have dropped seven games in a row and picked up just one point in those contests as they have been outscored 35-14. Chicago led in only one of those contests. Edmonton is just 3-3 during that same stretch and goals have been hard to come by with 15 in those six games. Facing a team that is allowing 5.2 goals per game during…

We'll see our first matchup of the season between the Vegas Golden Knights and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday when the sides meet in Pittsburgh. Those who bet online have seen Vegas continue to prove that they are one of the best teams in the league after getting a 3-2 shootout victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. Meanwhile, the Penguins…

This is quite the stretch for Tampa Bay with Thursday's game in Philadelphia being the Lightning's third in the last four days, all in different arenas. After edging host Buffalo in overtime, the Lightning lost 3-1 at Boston and now are set for a third straight road game. There is a milestone within reach for Tampa Bay's Steven Stamkos. The No. 1…

The Buffalo Sabres have seemingly been a bit more competitive of late, but it doesn't mean enough to those who bet online. They have won two of four and one of the losses was in overtime, but if you're betting on the team, you're still only 2-2. And before that, the team was riding an eight-game losing streak, so they're definitely hard to trust in…

The Boston Bruins have set an NHL record by opening a season with 12 wins in a row at home and will look to make it a lucky 13. The Tampa Bay Lightning had won seven games in a row at TD Garden before Boston's 3-2 win in March so the run of success at home could be in jeopardy. Things didn't go very well the first time this season when Tampa Bay…

There are few things in professional sports except perhaps the Tampa Bay Lightning being favored against the Buffalo Sabres. Buffalo is approaching 10 years since it has been favored in a game against Tampa Bay as it last took place on April 14, 2013. This will be the 34th straight meeting when the sportsbook lists Tampa Bay as the favorite. The…
