by |

20 teams hit the ice for tonight’s 10-game NHL slate, and we have a few intriguing matchups on tap. The Wild take on the Ranges in a cross-conference clash, the Devils go toe-to-toe with the Hurricanes as the top two teams in the Metropolitan and the Stars square off against the Islanders on Long Island. 

I’ll break down my three best bets in the NHL tonight. And here’s a closer look at Canucks vs. Penguins.

Canucks vs. Penguins: NHL Best Bets Odds, Picks & Predictions (Tuesday)

The Canucks began their five-game east coast road trip with a 7-4 loss to the Jets on Sunday. They’ll look to rebound tonight against a struggling Penguins team that’s just 1-4-2 over their last seven games. Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m. ET from PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pa.

Both of these teams are playing poorly as of late, as Vancouver is also just 1-4-0 over their last five games. During the five-game span, the Canucks have been outscored 22-14. However, no one should be surprised that the Canucks are giving up 4.4 goals per game over any random sample of games. Their defense and goaltending have been a major issue all season, as Vancouver is the 31st-ranked team defensively (3.74 opposing gpg).

I like for the Penguins to get back on track tonight against this unstable Canucks side. Being at home and playing a shaky defensive team, I think that this is a great opportunity for Pittsburgh to find its groove again. Let’s back the Penguins on the puck line in this spot.

Bet: Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5 (+130)
