Today’s Best NHL Bets

All odds via FanDuel Sportsbook

Calgary Flames (-146) vs. Ottawa Senators (+122) | O/U 6.5 (-104/-118)

The Flames were busy in the offseason trying to upgrade their offense, but they’ve seen a drop in their Expected Goals Percentage from last year.

The signing of Jonathan Huberdeau has been a disappointment, and he is projected to have just 54 points this season after grabbing 115 last year with the Panthers.

The signing of Nazem Kadri has been great, with 20 goals, but the best of their offense comes from their returning players Elias Lindholm and Tyler Toffoli, each of whom has over 40 points.

The key storyline for the Senators is their goaltending situation. Cam Talbot is already on injured reserve, and now Anton Forsberg will be out for the foreseeable future after suffering MCL tears in both knees.

Mads Sogaard and Kevin Mandolese will be the guys who take over with Sogaard getting the start. He has played in just three NHL games, and this year in the AHL, he’s 6-9-2 with a .898 save percentage.

We’ll likely see Dan Vladar between the pipes, and he’s won five of his last six allowing 2.66 goals. Pair that with a stellar forward going against an inexperienced goalie, and it will be all Flames.

Pick: Flames 60 min ML (+108)

Florida Panthers (-104) vs. Minnesota Wild (-115) | O/U 6.5 (-108/-112)

The Panthers again possess one of the better offenses in the league with the most goals and second-best in Expected Goal Percentage. All the superstars are contributing recently, with Matthew Tkachuk, Carter Verhaeghe, and Sam Reinhart combining for eight goals and 14 assists in the last five games.

This more than makes up for the regression of Sergei Bobrovsky. He’s just 14-14-2 this season, but he’s been getting offensive support recently, winning three of his last four.

The Wild aren’t going to overpower you on offense, and because of that, they rely on their goaltending.

Unfortunately, Marc Andre Fleury and Filip Gustavsson have not played well recently, and the team has a -12 score differential in the last nine games.

When looking at who has advantages in this game, the offense skews far in the Panthers’ favor. That will be the driving force that helps them pull out a win.

Pick: Panthers ML (-104)

Buffalo Sabres (+126) vs. Los Angeles Kings (-152) | O/U 6.5 (-140/+114)

There was no rust for the Kings after their 10-days off with a 6-0 win against the Penguins.

The offense generated incredible puck movement and gained a lot of high-danger shots, while defensively, they didn’t allow Pittsburgh to set up in their zone.

Pheonix Copley had his first shutout as he continued his stellar season.

The Sabres are in the middle of a three-game losing streak. The typically excellent offense has been stagnant, scoring just five goals in the last three games.

The question is about the health of Tage Thompson. He’s playing with an injury that kept him out of the All-Star game, and a power-play goal is the only point he has in the last three games.

In the last matchup, Buffalo exploded for six goals in the third. That won’t happen again, and although these are two very goal offenses, neither will be explosive tonight.

Pick: Under 6.5 (+114)
