We see seven NHL games on the betting docket for Tuesday night, including a Jets-Panthers rematch in Winnipeg after the Cats iced the NHL’s hottest team at home on Saturday. Here are handicapping previews for the seven games along with odds, start times, records, trends, and picks and predictions from the Sides, Totals, and Puck Line markets.
Oilers vs Senators Prediction
| Game Time: | 7:00 EST |
| Senators Line: | +112 |
| Oilers Line: | -137 |
| Total: | 6.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+ |
Connor McDavid and the Oilers (9-7-2, 4-5-1 on Road) are playing another Canadian team from the eastern part of the Great White North when they face the Senators (8-8-1, 5-2-1 at Home) in Ottawa. Edmonton lost at Montréal on Saturday in OT and now faces Linus Ullmark and an improved Senators squad. Looking at the last 10 meetings, we see that the Oilers are 7-3 with the Over 3-1 in the last 4 (7.50 gpg). The Oilers vs Senators prediction and pick here is for a high-scoring game with each team scoring at least 3 goals. Pick: Over 6.5
Lightning vs Penguins Prediction
| Game Time: | 7:00 EST |
| Penguins Line: | +108 |
| Lightning Line: | -134 |
| Total: | 6.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+ |
No one has allowed more Goals than the Penguins (80), and Erik Karlsson and Pittsburgh (7-10-3, 4-4-1 at Home) welcome the Lightning (9-6-1, 3-5-0 on Road) to Primanti-town for this Eastern Conference affair. We are bucking the Trends in this Lightning vs Penguins prediction which show Sidney Crosby and the Penguins 7-3 in the last 10 and leaning to Tampa Bay. The Over is 6-2-1 in the last 10 meetings and 5-1-1 at PPG with 34 goals in the last 4 there (8.5 gpg). Pick: Over 6.5
Wild vs Blues Prediction
| Game Time: | 8:00 EST |
| Blues Line: | +148 |
| Wild Line: | -190 |
| Total: | 5.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+, Hulu |
This Central Division showdown between the Wild (11-3-3, 7-1-2 on Road) and Blues (8-10-1, 4-5-0 at Home) seems like a good opportunity to back Filip Gustavson (2.08 GAA) and Minnesota for a number of reasons. First is that tremendous Road record. Second is the fact no one has allowed fewer Goals in the NHL than the Wild (41). Third, are the Trends which show Minnesota has won 3 of the last 5 meetings in the Gateway City. This Wild vs Blues prediction is to back the better team who won’t be intimidated by the Site or the St. Louis crowd. Pick: Wild -190
Panthers vs Jets Prediction
| Game Time: | 8:30 EST |
| Jets Line: | -117 |
| Panthers Line: | -106 |
| Total: | 6.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+ |
These two teams just met on Saturday night in Sunrise, Florida where the Panthers (12-5-1, 6-2-0 on Road handed the Jets (15-3-0, 8-1-0 at Home) their worst loss of the year, 5-0. So is it time for a little revenge? Cole Perfetti and Winnipeg are 6-4 in the last 10 with the Over 6-2-2. This Panthers vs Jets prediction will ignore the Totals Trends and pay closer attention to the fact that the last 2 meetings have both resulted in Shutouts—Saturday’s gem by Sergei Bobrovsky and a 3-0 Jets win last season in Florida with Collin Hellebuyck between the pipes. Not all Panthers vs Jets meetings in sports are between bad teams Pick: Under 6.5
Ducks vs Blackhawks Prediction
| Game Time: | 8:30 EST |
| Blackhawks Line: | -137 |
| Jets Line: | +110 |
| Total: | 5.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+ |
Goaltenders John Gibson, Lukas Dostal and the Ducks (6-8-2, 2-3-2 on Road) are in Chicago to eat some Lou Maltani’s pizza and play the Blackhawks (6-11-1, 2-4-0 at Home) in a matchup of two of the worst six teams in the league. The Trends and metrics here both lend some clues on what to do in this one. Chicago is 7-3 in the last 10 in this series and 4-1 at the United Center while the Under is 7-2-1, hitting 6 of the last 7 and the Blackhawks are an Under team (10-5-1). Toss in the reality that Anaheim is giving up the most Shots Against (35.5 spg) and scoring the Fewest Goals (2.4 gpg), and betting on both the Blackhawks and the Under is this Ducks vs Blackhawks prediction and pick. Picks: Blackhawks -137, Under 5.5
Islanders vs Flames Prediction
| Game Time: | 9:00 EST |
| Flames Line: | -129 |
| Islanders Line: | +106 |
| Total: | 5.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+ |
This inter-conference game between the Islanders (7-7-4, 5-4-3 on Road) and Flames (9-6-3, 6-3-0 at Home) will bank on that American team playing in Canada theory (CLG 6-1 vs American teams at Home) and back Calgary (13-5 Unders) who has gone 7-3 in the last 10 series meetings, winning 6 of the last 8. With the Over 4-1 the last 5 and the Flames such a strong Under side, the conflicting Trends mean avoiding the Totals market so this Islanders vs Flames prediction is to take the Home team who have been strong at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Pick: Flames -129
Rangers vs Canucks Prediction
| Game Time: | 10:00 EST |
| Canucks Line: | +100 |
| Rangers Line: | -125 |
| Total: | 6.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+ |
The Rangers (11-4-1, 6-1-0 on Road, at SEA on Sunday) have been a much better team on the Road than at MSG, but this is also an American team playing in Canada and Vancouver (9-5-3, 3-4-3 at Home) is better than people think (6-3-1 L10). The series Trends reveal that the Broadway Blueshirts have won the last 2 meetings in Vancouver, but with New York so far from Home and playing in a Time Zone 3 hours later than its EST Body Clocks, this one will start at 10 pm in their Circadian Rhythms and end after 1 am. This Rangers vs Canucks prediction is to back Filip Hronek, Quinn Hughes and an underrated Vancouver side at Rogers Arena. Pick: Canucks +100
