Top NHL picks October 13: Bet on Bobrovsky to dominate Islanders

The NHL season kicked off this week. Several NHL teams are making their 2022-23 debuts.

The Florida Panthers begin their Presidents' Trophy defence against the Islanders. Los Angeles Kings are well-rested and should be able to handle Seattle Kraken. Golden Knights are a good bet against New York Rangers.

The Panthers are -835 to make the playoffs and their total points over/under is 103.5. The Islanders have -118 odds to get to the postseason and a 92. 5 points O/U. Last year, the Panthers won the season series against the Islanders. Sergei Bobrovsky has a 1.62 GAA and .946 SV% against New York in five starts since joining the team.

The Kings and Seattle play each other tonight. Seattle is on the back end of a back-to-back and lost in overtime last night against Anaheim. Los Angeles had yesterday off after playing a home game on Tuesday. The hosts hold -195 odds to win.

Golden Knights are playing against the Blackhawks. Chicago lost 5-2 in Colorado on Wednesday. Vegas cleared this line with ease in its opening game.
