Daily NHL betting guide: January 28
Daily Faceoff will help you become an improved bettor during the 2021-22 NHL season. Each day we will look at each game, the odds of each team winning and the betting tools.
Daily NHL betting guide: January 28. All bets are 1 unit wagers. I will update this post throughout the day to point out big injury news, lineup changes, and backup goalies starting.
Nathan MacKinnon is out for at least three games with a facial fracture and concussion. Jonathan Toews is also out with concussion, so Colorado Avalanche will be without their top center. Colorado is among the top teams in the NHL, while Chicago is in bottom-10.
New York Rangers are playing Minnesota Wild on Friday. They are small home favorites at +131. They have a few injuries up front, including Kaapo Kakko and Filip Chytil. Adam Fox was placed on injured reserve this afternoon.
Arizona Coyotes are only worth considering when Karel Vejmelka gets the start. Scott Wedgewood is starting tonight.
Colorado Avalanche have won eight straight games and covered the spread in four of them. They play Chicago Blackhawks tonight. I'm taking the Bruins' Puck Line against Arizona.
Bryan Rust has seven assists in his last 10 games. He has four assists against Detroit Red Wings in last five games and seven in seven of his previous 10. The Penguins struggled to score last night. Detroit has struggled recently, with 19 goals against in their last four games, so Rust should have a chance to grab an apple tonight.
