NHL Expert Picks Tonight: March 15, 2024

Ducks vs Jets
The Game: Anaheim Ducks vs Winnipeg Jets, 8 PM ET

TeamPucklineTotalMoneyline
Anaheim Ducks+1.5 (+120)O5.5 (-122)+310
Winnipeg Jets-1.5 (-142)U5.5 (+102)-395

Pick: Ducks +1.5 (+120)

Look, I know the Ducks stink, but the Jets aren't much better at covering the puckline when they're the heavy favorites. At -395, the Jets have an 80% implied odds of winning tonight. 

So you'd think the Jets would overwhelm their stinky opponents. But that's not the case for Winnipeg this year. They're 3-9 against a -1.5 puckline when -200 favs or lower. 

I'm taking the Ducks to keep the score close here.

Kings vs Blackhawks
The Game: Los Angeles Kings vs Chicago Blackhawks, 8:30 PM ET

TeamPucklineTotalMoneyline
Los Angeles Kings-1.5 (-105)O5.5 (-122)-265
Chicago Blackhawks+1.5 (-115)U5.5 (+102)+215

Pick: U5.5 (+102)

The Kings have seen the total go UNDER 11 times in their last 15 games. On the season, they're 39-23-3 against the UNDER (60%).

And look, these two teams are in the bottom half of the league for offense on the season. It's even worse over the past month and a half. Since Feb 1st, the Kings are 27th for goals per game at 2.65 while Chicago is 31st at 2.50. 

The Kings, who will control this game don't score much. And the team they face is even worse at creating offense. This game goes UNDER for sure.
