On Tuesday there are 11 games on the NHL schedule including the Maple Leafs in New Jersey and the Lightning in Edmonton for a good inter-conference matchup. Here are your betting previews for the 11 games along with Moneyline and Totals odds, Starting Times, Records, Trends, and Picks from the Sides, Totals, and Puck Line markets.
Maple Leafs vs Devils Prediction
Game Time: | 7:00 EST |
Devils Line: | -120 |
Maple Leafs Line: | +100 |
Total: | 6.5 |
TV: | ESPN+, Hulu |
The Maple Leafs (7-3-0) are in New Jersey to face the Devils (7-3-0) in an Eastern Conference series between two teams playing some good hockey lately. Looking at the last 10 meetings in this series we see that Toronto is 7-3, winning all 5 on the Road in New Jersey (22 GF-9 GA) with the Over 4-1 the last 5. This Maple Leafs vs Devils pick will back the Road team who seems to have the knack of winning games at the Prudential Center. Pick: Maple Leafs +100
Avalanche vs Penguins Prediction
Game Time: | 7:00 EST |
Penguins Line: | +145 |
Avalanche Line: | -175 |
Total: | 6.5 |
TV: | ESPN+ |
Sidney Crosby and the Penguins (6-3-1 L10) welcome the Avalanche (6-4-0) to Pittsburgh for this inter-conference date on Tuesday. The Pens are 6-4 the last 10 meetings and the Total has alternated Overs/Unders the last 8 meetings (OUOUOUOU). The Home team is a powerful 7-3 over that span but this Avalanche vs Penguins pick will take a chance and back Nathan MacKinnon and the Road side. Pick: Avalanche -175
Sharks vs Hurricanes Prediction
Game Time: | 4:00 EST |
Hurricanes Line: | -440 |
Sharks Line: | +340 |
Total: | 6 |
TV: | ESPN+ |
Carolina (4-5-1) has struggled some without starting Goalie Frederik Andersen, but lucky for the Hurricanes, the Sharks (4-5-1) are in town. Looking at the last 10 meetings in this inter-conference series we find that Carolina is 7-3, winning 5 straight (18 GF-9 GA) and has gone a perfect 5-0-0 at Home at the Lenovo Center (19 GF-11 GA). This Sharks vs Hurricanes pick will look to the Puck Line market—which has been set at 2.5 goals—for obvious reasons. Pick: Hurricanes -2.5 +110
Flyers vs Blue Jackets Prediction
Game Time: | 4:00 EST |
Blue Jackets Line: | -110 |
Flyers Line: | -110 |
Total: | 6.5 |
TV: | ESPN+ |
The Flyers (5-3-2) face the Blue Jackets (6-3-1) in a Metropolitan Division game in Columbus. The last 10 games have seen both teams win 5 with the Over 5-4-1 and the Home team 6-4, but 4-2 in the last 6 meetings. This Blue Jackets vs Flyers pick will take Columbus who is glad to be Home after a Canadian Road trip (1-3) where Kent Johnson and his club plays much better (8-3-1). The Blue Jackets beat the Jets in Winnipeg, 4-1. Pick: Blue Jackets -110
Kings vs Islanders Prediction
Game Time: | 7:30 EST |
Islanders Line: | -105 |
Kings Line: | -115 |
Total: | 5.5 |
TV: | ESPN+ |
This Kings vs Islanders pick will look to the Puck Line market with Los Angeles (7-3-0 L10) on a roll (W5) and New York (4-4-2 L10, W2) at Home. In the last 10 series meetings, the Kings have gone 6-4, winning 5 of the last 6 and 2 of the last 3 on Long Island. The Under is 3-1 in the last 4, but let’s stick with the quality Side in this encounter. Pick: Kings -115
Flames vs Predators Prediction
Game Time: | 8:00 EST |
Predators Line: | -162 |
Flames Line: | +136 |
Total: | 5.5 |
TV: | ESPN+ |
The host Predators (2-5-3 L10) are in a major slide (L7) and face a Flames (5-3-2 L10) side far from home but playing better than Nashville. In the last 10 meetings, Calgary has gone 4-6 but has won 3 of the last 4 meetings (14 GF-9 GA) on the frozen water. This Flames vs Predators pick will look to the Totals market after realizing the Under is 4-1-2 in the last 7 meetings. Pick: Under 5.5
Bruins vs Jets Prediction
Game Time: | 8:00 EST |
Jets Line: | -148 |
Bruins Line: | +124 |
Total: | 5.5 |
TV: | ESPN+ |
The Under is 5-1-1 in the last 7 meetings in this Bruins-Jets series which has seen Boston (7-3-0 L10) go an impressive 7-3 in the last 10 meetings vs Winnipeg (4-6-0), winning 7 of the last 8 and 3 of the last 4 in Winnipeg. This Bruins vs Jets pick treads lightly with Winnipeg likely in a foul mood and the B’s happy, and looks to the Totals market and another low-scoring outcome up at the Canada Life Centre. Pick: Under 5.5
Lightning vs Oilers Prediction
Game Time: | 9:00 EST |
Oilers Line: | -155 |
Lightning Line: | +130 |
Total: | 6.5 |
TV: | ESPN+ |
One of the best games of the night sees Connor McDavid and the defending Western Conference champion Oilers (6-3-1) hosting the Lightning (6-3-1) with both playing well. And it’s about time. The last 10 series meetings have seen Andrei Vasilevskiy and Tampa Bay go 7-3, winning 2 straight (13 GF-8 GA) in high-scoring affairs averaging over 10 gpg. With the Over having won 3 in a row, let’s back that Trend in this Lightning vs Oilers pick. Pick: Over 6.5
Wild vs Utah Hockey Club Prediction
Game Time: | 9:30 EST |
Utah Hockey Club Line: | +105 |
Wild Line: | -125 |
Total: | 5.5 |
TV: | ESPN+. Disney+, Hulu |
This Central Division matchup sees the first-place Wild (7-2-1 L10) in the Beehive State to trade elbows with the generically named Utah Hockey Club (4-5-1 L10). Looking at Minnesota’s last 10 games we see that it is 5-1 in the last 6 (16 GF-11 GA), allowing just 1, 2 (OT), 2 (OT), 2, and 0 goals over that span. With Minnesota losing its last game, Utah finds itself hosting the wrong team at the wrong time and this Wild vs Utah Hockey Club pick will lean to the Road team who are tied for having the best Record (40 points) withe the Capitals and the Jets in the NHL. Pick: Wild -125
Blues vs Canucks Prediction
Game Time: | 10:00 EST |
Canucks Line: | -198 |
Blues Line: | +164 |
Total: | 6 |
TV: | ESPN+ |
Vancouver (5-4-1) welcomes St. Louis (5-4-1) to Ogopogoville for a Western Conference meeting on Tuesday night. The Blues have held the upper hand in this series of late (7-3 L10), winning 3 of the last 4 and 4 of the last 5 in Vancouver, but it’s always hard to handicap and trust St. Louis, so this Blues vs Canucks pick will lean to the Road team because Vancouver has been much better on the Road (10-2-1) than at Home (4-6-3) for some strange reason and the Trends support the Road Underdog Pick: Blues +164
Panthers vs Kraken Prediction
Game Time: | 10:00 EST |
Kraken Line: | +145 |
Panthers Line: | -175 |
Total: | 6 |
TV: | ESPN+ |
This inter-conference matchup should be a fun watch and a close game with Florida a long way from the Sunshine State and playing in a Time Zone (PST) three hours later than their EST Body Clocks, meaning that this one will end around 1 am Florida time. A glimpse at the last 10 series meetings shows the Black Cats (5-4-1 L10, 8-4-1 on Road) are 2-4 vs the Kraken in their 6 lifetime meetings—these sea monsters are still new—with 2 Unders in the last 2 meetings (4, 5 goals). This Panthers vs Kraken pick will look for another low-scoring skate at Climate Pledge Arena. Pick: Under 6
