Sunday's NHL Best Bets
(Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook)
Los Angeles Kings (-155) at St. Louis Blues (+130) | O/U 6.5 (-105/-115)
The Kings are going from just having a rough patch and are heading into collapse territory. They are currently 2-8-5 in their last 15. Nothing has been good recently, including the fact that they are averaging only 2.2 goals per game during this 15-game stretch.
The Blues have had an inconsistent team for most of the year, but they just got their season-high fourth straight win. St. Louis has been better with Craig Berube on the bench, as the team is 9-6-1 since he's taken over.
Even with the Kings being the road favorites, it's difficult to back a team that can't score or defend. The Blues could jump over the Kings in the stand with a win and look for that to happen.
Pick: Blues Moneyline (+130)
Columbus Blue Jackets (+180) at Seattle Kraken (-218) | O/U 6.5 (+-110/-130)
Seattle is a solid team that allows under three goals per game and 30 shots. While the defense drives this team, the lack of offense has prevented this team from being a top contender; they score just 2.81 goals per game, and while they have an excellent top line, the depth is thin.
The Blue Jackets don't have any depth, and they don't have anything. No one has 30 points or 15 goals, and both starting goalies allow over three goals per game.
Seattle shouldn’t suffer a home loss being this big of a favorite, but it’s tough to trust them to win on the puck line with that lack of offense. Look to take the under.
Pick: Under 6.5 Total Goals (-130)
