NHL goal in the first 10 minutes Odds & Picks: february 28
Only two NHL matchups tonight, here is how to bet on for a goal in the first 10 minutes for them.
columbus blue jackets vs new york rangers goal in the first 9m 59s of period - YES (-165)
Columbus has scored in the opening period in its last three straight meetings, two of which were in the first 10 minutes. But, on the flip side, the Blue Jackets have allowed the second-most first period goals with 209. The odds are in our favor that either Columbus will let one in or net one itself.
st. louis blues vs edmonton oilers goal in the first 9m 59s of period - YES (-155)
Edmonton has coughed up an early goal in four of its last five. Yes, the Blues are pretty average across the board by averaging 2.93 GPG (ranked 24th) and allowing 3.12 GPG (ranked 15th). However, they cracked the code a little over a week ago when they potted six past Stuart Skinner.

The first goal in that first meeting with the Oilers clocked in 13 seconds after the 10-minute mark. But, clearly St. Louis knows the gameplan to get around Edmonton. And hey, it's not far-fetched to think the Oiler's snipers could get on the board early, too.
