Minnesota Wild at New Jersey Devils odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Tuesday’s Minnesota Wild at New Jersey Devils sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Minnesota Wild (9-11-4) drive through the Lincoln Tunnel from Manhattan to face the New Jersey Devils (8-10-4) at Prudential Center Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Wild-Devils odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Wild at Devils: Projected starting goalies

Kaapo Kahkonen vs. MacKenzie Blackwood

Kahkonen is making his NHL debut against the Devils. The 23-year old goaltender played 10 games for the AHL’s Iowa Wild and compiled a 2.47 goals against average and .908 save percentage.

Blackwood is looking to rebound from a bad home outing against the Boston Bruins and getting pulled against the Pittsburgh Penguins (four goals allowed in 42-plus minutes) Friday. The New Jersey starter is now 7-6-3 on the season with a 3.07 goals against average and .898 save percentage.

Prediction

Devils 4, Wild 2

Moneyline (ML)

The DEVILS (-154) got a couple much needed nights of rest and host a Minnesota team having lost 3-2 against the New York Rangers Monday. The Wild blew a one-goal lead late in the third period then lost quickly in overtime. New Jersey facing a goalie making his NHL debut has driven the line more in the Devils’ favor.

A $10 bet with New Jersey results in a $6.49 profit with an outright win for the Devils.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Risking a tiny wager on the DEVILS (-1.5, +180) is the play. Minnesota is just 3-9-2 as an underdog. There is danger here but New Jersey has a rare opportunity against a vulnerable opponent.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-139) is a reasonable play Tuesday. The last three meetings in this series have all connected on the Over.

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $7.19 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.

Minnesota Wild at New York Rangers odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Monday’s Minnesota Wild at New York Rangers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Minnesota Wild (9-11-3) travel to New York City to face the New York Rangers (10-9-2) at Madison Square Garden Monday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Wild-Rangers odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Wild at Rangers: Projected starting goalies

Alex Stalock vs. Henrik Lundqvist

Stalock has a 5-3-1 record for Minnesota with a 2.79 goals against average and .908 save percentage. After two very good wins, Stalock allowed five goals to the Boston Bruins Saturday.

Lundqvist has a 5-5-1 record with a 3.37 GAA and .909 save percentage. He allowed four-plus goals in four of his previous five starts.

Wild at Rangers: Odds, picks, and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 1:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Rangers 4, Wild 3

Moneyline (ML)

The RANGERS (+100) are offering plus money at home. Minnesota (-120) is one of the league’s worst teams on the road with a record of just 4-10-2. Even with the Rangers’ team defense the way it is, New York should be able to score enough goals to outlast the Wild.

A $10 bet with New York results in a $10 profit with an outright win for the Rangers.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Rangers are second in the league against the spread with a 13-8 mark and they are 8-4 at home. Minnesota has just enough of an offense to keep things close and that causes a good bit of hesitation. The +230 odds for the Wild to win by two or more goals is enticing, but we’ll AVOID this play as we expect the Rangers to win outright.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+125) is worth a tiny wager. It is not a strong bet by any means but this is a Rangers team that can allow four or five goals at home while scoring at the same rate. Needless to say, this game has no in-between. It is either a 2-1 dud or a 4-3 type of contest. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $12.50 profit with a total of seven or more goals scored.

New York Islanders at Anaheim Ducks odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Monday’s Islanders at Ducks NHL matchup with NHL betting odds, picks and best bets

The New York Islanders (16-3-2) travel to Southern California to face the Anaheim Ducks (10-11-3) at Honda Center on Monday at 10 p.m. ET. We analyze the Islanders-Ducks odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Islanders at Ducks: Projected starting goalies

Thomas Greiss vs. John Gibson

Greiss has a 9-1 record for New York with a 2.07 goals against average and .934 save percentage. The Islanders goaltender has won eight straight starts, allowing 16 goals in that span.

Gibson was given the night off on Saturday in place of Ryan Miller. The Anaheim starter has a 7-10-1 record with a 3.02 GAA and .908 SV%, and he has given up 4+ goals in four of his last five starts. The one he did not was a 37-save win against St. Louis.

Islanders at Ducks: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 12:25 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Islanders 3, Ducks 2

Moneyline (ML)

The ISLANDERS (-125) are rolling along with a 17-game point streak and Anaheim has lost three straight contests. New York played well despite losing in overtime in San Jose on Saturday and Anaheim should at the least allow some shots and goals. With the Islanders’ normal defensive structure, they should win outright.

A $10 bet with New York results in an $8 profit with an outright win for the Islanders.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Islanders have played in seven straight one-goal games while Anaheim has lost seven of eight. Here is the problem. Can one trust the Islanders to win by two or more goals? The numbers say no. Anaheim at +1.5 is -278 which is just too high. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 5.5 (-121) is a nice, small play on Monday night given the last five meetings have seen the under connect four times. Yes, both teams are just above .500 when it comes to the over but the under here is more likely given each team’s style. Anaheim would prefer to play things a bit slower, which is New York’s style.

Buffalo Sabres at Tampa Bay Lightning odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Tampa Bay versus Buffalo Monday night with odds, bets, and picks.

The Buffalo Sabres (11-9-3) travel across Florida to face the Tampa Bay Lightning (11-7-2) at Amalie Arena Monday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Sabres-Lightning odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Buffalo Sabres at Tampa Bay Lightning: Projected starting goalies

Carter Hutton vs. Andrei Vasilevskiy

Hutton has a 6-4-2 record for Buffalo with a 2.73 goals against average and .909 save percentage. Hutton has not played since November 17th where he gave up four goals on 27 shots versus the Chicago Blackhawks.

Vasilevskiy is the likely starter in net for Tampa Bay tonight at home against Buffalo. He has an 8-6 record with a 2.88 goals-against average and .908 save percentage. The Russian goalie has split his last two starts, stopping 67 of 71 shots.

Buffalo Sabres at Tampa Bay Lightning: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 10:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Lightning 5, Sabres 2

Moneyline (ML)

The LIGHTNING (-223) line has backed off a bit but is still a bit high to take Monday night. Buffalo is the reason why bettors are trying to capitalize on value. The Sabres are not the rested team and Tampa Bay has already won the two previous matchups (one at home where they tallied five goals).

A $10 bet with Tampa Bay results in a $4.48 profit with an outright win for the Lightning.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Unlike the moneyline, the real value (and a little risk) is in the ATS. Tampa Bay is a +125 here to win by two or more goals. The last Lightning home game against the Sabres was a two-goal margin of victory for Tampa Bay. Three of the previous five meetings have also gone this way.

A $10 bet with a Tampa Bay cover results in a $12.50 return.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+120) is a good play here with Tampa Bay the top-scoring team in the league once again (3.7 goals per contest) and Buffalo can put some goals up as well (five last night in Florida). Tampa might score five by themselves tonight.

Placing a $10 bet on the over will give a bettor a $12.00 profit with a total of seven or more goals scored.

New York Islanders at San Jose Sharks odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s New York Islanders at San Jose Sharks sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The New York Islanders (16-3-1) travel cross country to face the San Jose Sharks (11-11-1) at SAP Center Saturday at 10:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Islanders-Sharks odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Islanders at Sharks: Projected starting goalies

Semyon Varlamov vs. Martin Jones

Varlamov has a 7-2-1 record with a 2.70 goals against average and .912 save percentage. He looks to rebound after giving up a whopping 12 goals in his previous three starts.

Jones has a 8-8-1 record with a 3.34 GAA and .885 SV%. He has won four of his last five starts but has given up three or more goals in four straight outings. Jones has seen one 30-plus shot game over the previous five starts.

Islanders at Sharks: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 10:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Sharks 4, Islanders 2

Moneyline (ML)

The SHARKS (-110) are almost dead even on the moneyline at home despite winning six of their last seven games. Yes, the goaltending is less than optimal but San Jose is more than capable of outscoring its goaltender.

The Sharks should be able to take advantage of an Islanders team on the first leg of their West Coast trip.

A $10 bet with San Jose results in a $9.09 profit with an outright win for the Sharks.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

A fast start is vital for the Sharks here. This one is tough but lean to San Jose (-1.5, +215) for the heavy value.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-134) is dangling a carrot and we are taking this hook, line, and sinker. Yes, it carries some inherent risk, but San Jose could score four or more by themselves if Varlamov starts. They have a familiarity with him from his days with the Colorado Avalanche.

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a decent $7.46 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.

Detroit Red Wings at New Jersey Devils odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Saturday’s Detroit Red Wings at New Jersey Devils sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Detroit Red Wings (7-14-3) travel to Newark to face the New Jersey Devils (7-10-4) at Prudential Center Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Red Wings-Devils odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Red Wings at Devils: Projected starting goalies

Jimmy Howard vs. Louis Domingue

Howard has a 2-9-1 record for Detroit with a 3.98 goals against average and .883 save percentage. Detroit’s goaltending has the worst goals saved above average in the league.

Domingue made five saves in the final 18 minutes of Friday’s night 4-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins in his debut for the Devils.

Red Wings at Devils: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Devils 4, Red Wings 3

Moneyline (ML)

The DEVILS (-154) played Friday night and more goals should be expected in this game as a result. Detroit’s 71% success rate on the penalty kill helps New Jersey immensely.

A $10 bet with New Jersey results in a $6.49 profit with an outright win for the Devils.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Devils are 7-14 against the spread which is dead last in the entire NHL. The Red Wings have just enough offense to keep New Jersey from connecting on the spread (-1.5, +170). AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-154) is a good play given the fact these are two of the worst teams in the league when it comes to goals allowed. Detroit is dead last with 3.75 and New Jersey is next to last at 3.57 goals yielded per contest. New Jersey’s penalty kill is 27th at home so Detroit may have added chances to pad the goal total. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a $6.49 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.

New Jersey Devils at Pittsburgh Penguins odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Friday’s New Jersey Devils at Pittsburgh Penguins sports betting odds and lines, with NHL betting picks, tips and best bets.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (11-7-4) entertain the division rival New Jersey Devils (7-9-4) at PPG Paints Arena Friday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Devils-Penguins odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Devils at Penguins: Projected starting goalies

MacKenzie Blackwood vs. Tristan Jarry

Blackwood is expected to start again for the Devils. He is 7-5-3 with a 2.95 goals against average and .899 save percentage. Blackwood took the home loss Tuesday against Boston after allowing five goals on just 28 shots.

Jarry is projected to get the start Friday in New Jersey. He has a 2-3 record for Pittsburgh with a 1.98 GAA and .938 SV%. Jarry has looked great in his backup role and came up clutch against Toronto last week while turning away 32 of 33 shots in a win.

Devils at Penguins: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 7:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Penguins 3, Devils 2

Moneyline (ML)

The PENGUINS (-189) are dealing with far more injuries than the Devils. They are without C Sidney Crosby, D Kris Letang, plus F Nick Bjugstad — just to name a few of the injured. Despite this, they nearly beat the New York Islanders Thursday night. It is anyone’s guess as to how New Jersey comes out after their poor performance at home against the Boston Bruins.

It will be a back and forth contest but Pittsburgh ultimately wins this one late.

A $10 bet with Pittsburgh results in a $5.29 profit with an outright win for the Penguins.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Devils are 7-13 against the spread which is dead last in the entire NHL. Their style of play typically is the culprit. Also, the Penguins are so banged up that expecting them to win by two or more goals is a lot to ask for. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 5.5 (+125) is a bit of a risky play but considering the two teams combined for just three goals last week in their first meeting, it’s the right move. Usually, New Jersey hits the Over in Pittsburgh but with both sides a bit down offensively, it is worth a shot. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a decent $12.50 profit with a total of five or fewer goals scored.

Sabres-Bruins odds, picks and best bets

Previewing Thursday’s Buffalo Sabres at Boston Bruins betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The Boston Bruins (13-3-5) entertain the slumping Buffalo Sabres (10-8-3) at TD Garden Thursday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Sabres-Bruins odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Sabres at Bruins: Projected starting goalies

Carter Hutton vs. Tuukka Rask 

Hutton is 6-4-2 with a 2.73 goals against average and .909 save percentage. He will try to rebound from three straight poor performance where he yielded 14 goals on just 96 shots.

Rask is confirmed to get the start. He has a 9-2-2 record for Boston with a 2.06 GAA and .930 SV%. Rask enjoyed an efficient performance against the New Jersey Devils as he stopped 25 of 26 shots.

Sabres at Bruins: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 10:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Bruins 4, Sabres 2

Moneyline (ML)

The BRUINS (-239) are enduring with the Torey Krug injury but the real concern is still Patrice Bergeron. Bergeron has a core issue keeping his playing status uncertain. It did not impact Boston at all against New Jersey Tuesday as it routed the Devils 5-1 in Newark.

The Bruins are our play on the moneyline, as they have the third-best record in the league.

A $10 bet with Boston results in a $4.18 profit with a Bruins’ win in regulation, overtime or a shootout.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Boston is only 12-9 against the spread but has won three of its last four meetings with Buffalo. The risk is winning by two or more goals and Boston has failed to accomplish that so tentatively we will AVOID this pick.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-115) is a nice play. Watch for the status of Bergeron again. If pushed, the feeling is the Over hits and Boston even covers the spread. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a decent $8.70 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.

Flyers-Hurricanes odds: Carolina seeks revenge vs. Philly

Previewing Thursday’s Philadelphia Flyers at Carolina Hurricanes sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips

The Carolina Hurricanes (13-7-1) host the Philadelphia Flyers (10-7-4) at PNC Arena in Raleigh at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Hurricanes-Flyers odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup

The Hurricanes are looking for some revenge after being topped 4-1 in Philadelphia Nov. 5.

Flyers at Hurricanes: Projected starting goalies

Carter Hart vs. Petr Mrazek

Hart carries a 6-5-0 record with a 2.72 goals-against average and a .896 save percentage into play, and he looks to bounce back after getting pulled midway through his last appearance in Florida on Tuesday night. Veteran Brian Elliott also has a 2.72 GAA with a .913 SV%, so if he gets the start, there isn’t much of a difference.

Mrazek is money at home, posting a sparkling 7-1-0 record, 2.11 GAA and a .918 save percentage in eight starts at PNC Arena while going just 3-2-1 with a 3.26 GAA and a .893 save percentage in six assignments away from the Triangle.

Flyers at Hurricanes: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 6:50 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Hurricanes 4, Flyers 3

Moneyline (ML)

The HURRICANES (-176) are a tad expensive at this price, but I don’t trust the puck line. This one should be a very physical game with a decent touch of offense, but also plenty of hits and tight checking, too. The Flyers (+145) are a tempting play, but they’re 4-9 in the past 13 trips to Raleigh.

Carolina is also streaking in after sweeping a three-game road trip for the first time in Whalers/Hurricanes franchise history. The ‘Canes will make up for the fact F Erik Haula (knee) being sidelined indefinitely.

On a side note, I’ll be attending this game, and the Hurricanes are 3-1-0 in the four games I’ve been to at PNC Arena this season, so consider yours truly a bit of a good luck charm for the home side.

New to sports betting? A $10 wager on Carolina returns a profit of $5.70 – every $1 wagered profits $0.57 with a Hurricanes win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Again, I don’t trust the Hurricanes (-1.5, +150) laying more than a goal, and the Flyers (+1.5, -182) are just too expensive the other way if you want insurance.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+125) is worth a small-unit play, cashing in 10 of the past 14 meetings.

A $10 wager profits $12.50 if there are seven goals or more. Every $1 wagered profits $1.25 in this scenario.

Bruins-Devils odds: Wounded Boston still a road favorite

Previewing Tuesday’s Boston Bruins at New Jersey Devils sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The Boston Bruins (12-3-5) travel to Newark to face the New Jersey Devils (7-8-4) at Prudential Center Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Bruins-Devils odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Bruins at Devils: Projected starting goalies

Tuukka Rask vs. MacKenzie Blackwood

Rask is confirmed to get the start Tuesday in New Jersey. He has an 8-2-2 record for Boston with a 2.14 goals against average and .927 save percentage. Rask looked excellent against the Toronto Maple Leafs as he stopped 29 of 31 shots during Boston’s 4-2 victory.

Blackwood is likely to start again for the Devils. He is 7-4-3 with a 2.79 GAA and .904 save percentage. Blackwood has won two straight games and has a save percentage of .922 over his last 10 outings.

Bruins at Devils: Odds, picks and betting tips

Odds courtesy of BetMGM; access them at USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 4:15 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Bruins 4, Devils 3

Moneyline (ML)

The BRUINS (-154) are dealing with far more injuries than the Devils. C Patrice Bergeron is not 100% and D Torey Krug is out among a slew of other injuries, and yet, they are still road favorites Tuesday night. New Jersey gives up 3.50 goals per game at home and is 27th at home on the penalty kill.

It will be a high-event and chaotic game but the Bruins are our play on the moneyline.

A $10 bet with Boston results in a $6.49 profit with a Bruins’ win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Devils are 7-12 against the spread which is still among the worst in the entire NHL. Part of the problem is their style of play which makes it hard to see them win by more than one goal. Boston’s injuries make a win by more than a goal difficult, as well. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-134) is a good play. Watch for the status of Bergeron. This may be a bet to avoid if he does not look 100%. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a decent $7.46 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.
