NHL Expert Picks Tonight
Red Wings vs Coyotes
The Game: Detroit Red Wings vs Arizona Coyotes, 9 PM ET
| Team | Puckline | Total | Moneyline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detroit Red Wings | -1.5 (+180) | O6.5 (-110) | -135 |
| Arizona Coyotes | +1.5 (-218) | U6.5 (-110) | +114 |
Pick: O6.5 (-110)
There should be enough goals in this game to have the total go OVER 6.5. Arizona is 8-2 against the OVER in their last 10 games. The opposition has scored 60% of those goals in those ten games with a 30-43 scoring differential.
Detroit has the fifth-best offense in the league with 216 goals on the year. They've also scored 3.4 goals per game in their last 10.
The Red Wings' potent offense might just score at will so we should see the total go OVER.
Wild vs Avalanche
The Game: Minnesota Wild vs Colorado Avalanche, 9 PM ET
| Team | Puckline | Total | Moneyline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minnesota Wild | +1.5 (-135) | O6.5 (-110) | +180 |
| Colorado Avalanche | -1.5 (+110) | U6.5 (-110) | -218 |
Pick: Avalanche -1.5 (+110)
The Avalanche are a wagon at home with only two losses in their last 18 games. They've outscored their opponents by a margin of 41 goals. Insane. Colorado has also covered a -1.5 puckline in 12 of those 18 games.
At +180, the Wild are expected to lose and when Minni loses on the road they've done so by 2+ goals in six straight.
I can't see anything else but an Avs win and covering the puckline.
Jets vs Kraken
The Game: Winnipeg Jets vs Seattle Kraken, 10 PM ET
| Team | Puckline | Total | Moneyline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winnipeg Jets | -1.5 (+195) | O5.5 (-112) | -125 |
| Seattle Kraken | +1.5 (-238) | U5.5 (-108) | +105 |
Pick: Winnipeg Jets ML (-125)
Winnipeg has been good away from home lately with a 4-2SU record. Key to their success is a solid goaltending duo of Connor Hellebuyck and Laurent Brossoit. Whoever gets the start tonight (Brossoit seems likely), will backstop the Jets to a win.
The Kraken has one of the worst shooting percentages in the league at 9.5%. Facing quality goaltending will be their undoing. Hellebuyck is in Vezina form this season and in his last 10, he's carried a 0.916SV% and 2.62GAA. Brossoit has been even better in his last 10 with an outstanding 0.932SV% and 1.99 GAA.
