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.

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.

Wild-Sabres odds: Buffalo holds edge over Minnesota

Previewing Tuesday’s Minnesota Wild at Buffalo Sabres sports betting odds, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The Buffalo Sabres (10-6-2) entertain the Minnesota Wild (5-8-4) at KeyBank Center on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Wild-Sabres odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Wild at Sabres: Projected starting goalies

Alex Stalock vs. Carter Hutton

Stalock has a .911 save percentage and a 2.37 goals against average to support a 3-3-0 record through seven starts and two relief appearances.

Hutton is 6-4-2 with a 2.73 GAA and .909 save percentage. The Buffalo starter has allowed 14 goals on his last 96 shots spanning three games (all losses).

Wild at Sabres: 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 12:30 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Sabres 5, Wild 3

Moneyline (ML)

The SABRES (-115) are dealing with regression as they struggle following a hot start. Their penalty kill is the worst in the league and Minnesota will be able to take advantage.

It will be a wild and crazy contest but Buffalo should be able to pull this game out late.

A $10 bet with Buffalo results in a $8.70 profit with a Sabres’ win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Sabres are 11-9 against the spread while Minnesota is just 8-11. That is enough to pick BUFFALO (-1.5, +230) as a slight lean.

Placing a $10 wager here could result in a $23 profit if Buffalo wins by two or more goals.

(Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-134) is a safe play Tuesday night. That number makes for a more palatable bet as the two teams could easily combine for seven or eight goals. 

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

Ducks-Capitals odds: Washington an easy home favorite

Previewing Monday’s Anaheim Ducks at Washington Capitals sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis, picks and tips.

The Anaheim Ducks (10-9-2) travel to the nation’s capital to face the Washington Capitals (15-3-4) at Capital One Arena Monday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Ducks-Capitals odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Ducks at Capitals: Projected starting goalies

John Gibson vs. Braden Holtby

Gibson has a 7-9 record for Anaheim with a 2.83 goals against average and a .915 save percentage. After losing three straight starts, Gibson turned in a 37-save gem against the St. Louis Blues Saturday.

Holtby has posted a 2.97 goals against average and a .904 save percentage. He has won five consecutive starts and four of them have seen him allow two or fewer goals.

Ducks at Capitals: 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 9:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Capitals 4, Ducks 2

Moneyline (ML)

The CAPITALS (-228) are in a good position against a Ducks team with trouble stringing together road victories. Anaheim has lost six straight road games after a road win.

Monday expects to be a game where Washington should be able to attack Anaheim’s weakened defense (no Josh Manson or Hampus Lindholm) with regularity. The Capitals are our pick here.

A $10 bet on the Capitals results in a $4.39 profit with a Washington win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The CAPITALS have better value on the spread (-1.5, +115) Monday night and are one of the better teams at covering the spread. Their 14-8 record is good for fourth in the NHL. Given how often they are favored in games, it should not come as much of a surprise. It also helps that they average nearly four goals per game at home.

Taking the Capitals to cover at -115 results in an $8.70 profit with a $10 wager.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-139) is a good choice for Monday night. 

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

Sabres-Blackhawks odds: Surging ‘Hawks favored at home

Previewing Sunday’s Buffalo Sabres at Chicago Blackhawks sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis and picks.

The Buffalo Sabres (10-6-3) make a trip to the United Center to take on the surging Chicago Blackhawks (8-7-4) in a Sunday evening (7 p.m. ET) inter-conference battle. We analyze the Sabres-Blackhawks odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Sabres at Blackhawks: Projected starting goalies

Carter Hutton vs. Corey Crawford

Hutton’s story is that of the 2019-20 Sabres and vice-versa: started out hot and has scuffled since. The 34-year-old enters this start after stopping just 59 of 69 shots (.855 SV) over his last two games. Hutton logged a similar line (.881 save percentage) in 105 minutes against Chicago last season.

Crawford has become the 60-40 understudy to newcomer Robin Lehner. His best multi-game stretch, however, is the one he’s been on since Nov. 7. Since that date, the veteran netminder has registered a fine .937 mark in three games.

Sabres at Blackhawks: 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 9:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Chicago 4, Buffalo 3

Moneyline (ML)

Both teams are closing out home-road back-to-backs – Buffalo snapped a six-game losing streak with a 4-2 win over the Ottawa Senators Saturday. The Blackhawks clobbered the Predators 7-2 to earn their third straight high-scoring victory. Chicago has scored 17 goals over its last three contests. Buffalo native Patrick Kane has driven the Chicago surge. The right winger has tallied six goals and six assists over the team’s last five games.

The ‘Hawks have won three in a row at the United Center after struggling in early-season home games. They are 3-0 in the back half of playing two games in as many days. Chicago continues to allow too many shots on goal, but of late the Blackhawks have done better in preventing quality looks from the slot. CHICAGO -139 is a solid play, one with some value even when regressing recent-game performances on both sides.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Pass on the puck line (-1.5, +170). Four of Buffalo’s last five losses have been by one goal.

Over/under (O/U)

A high-priced Over (5.5, -150) makes for a PASS here. The number calls for an Over play but adding in some regression and a longer-view look of these two teams, a price in the -135 to -141 range would add value to the play.

The combined Under for the Sabres and ‘Hawks is 18-19-1.

Flames-Golden Knights odds: Vegas favored to end losing streak

Previewing Sunday’s Calgary Flames at Vegas Golden Knights sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis and picks

The Calgary Flames (10-9-3) travel to Sin City to face the division-rival Vegas Golden Knights (9-9-3) at T-Mobile Arena Sunday at 7 p.m. ET.

We analyze the Flames-Golden Knights odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Flames at Golden Knights: Projected starting goalies

Cam Talbot vs. Marc-Andre Fleury

Talbot is expected to get the start. He has a 1-4 record for Calgary with a 2.69 goals against average and a .907 save percentage. Talbot lost to the Dallas Stars on Wednesday stopping 29 of 31 shots in the quality start.

Fleury is all but confirmed to start for Vegas since backup Malcolm Subban played Saturday in a 4-3 loss at the Los Angeles Kings. He is 9-5-1 with a 2.68 GAA and a .914 save percentage. Fleury has been roughed up of late as he gave up four goals in Washington and then five goals at home to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Flames at Golden Knights: 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 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Golden Knights 4, Flames 3

Moneyline (ML)

The GOLDEN KNIGHTS (-139) are dealing with their first real adversity of the season as they have lost five straight games including Saturday to the lowly Kings. Calgary was not much better in a Saturday 3-0 loss to the Arizona Coyotes where they were shut down and body slammed.

Sunday could be a very sloppy game, but take the Golden Knights on the moneyline.

A $10 bet with the Golden Knights results in a $7.19 profit with a Vegas win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Flames (+1.5, -239) are bad enough with a 9-13 mark ATS, but then there are the Golden Knights (-1.5, +190). Vegas comes in with the league-worst record ATS at 7-14. It would be smart to do the right thing here and AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-143) is a safe play. That 5.5 number just makes for an easier bet with a little less profit. This is not one to think too deeply about. 

Placing a $10 bet here will give a bettor a decent $6.99 profit with a total of six or more goals scored.

Maple Leafs-Penguins odds: Pittsburgh favored at home

Previewing the Toronto Maple Leafs at Pittsburgh Penguins sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis and picks.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (10-7-2) entertain the Toronto Maple Leafs (9-8-4) at PPG Paints Arena Saturday at 7 p.m. ET. We analyze the Maple Leafs-Penguins odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Maple Leafs at Penguins: Projected starting goalies

Kasimir Kaskisuo vs. Tristan Jarry

Kaskisuo is confirmed to get the start Saturday in Pittsburgh. This is his NHL debut for Toronto. He has a 6-1-1 record for Toronto with a 2.13 goals against average and .928 save percentage for the Toronto Marlies of the AHL.

Jarry is expected to start for the Penguins. He is 1-3 with a 2.26 GAA and .929 SV%. Jarry took the loss (two goals on 14 shots) in his last appearance after Matt Murray got a quick hook in Boston. He has three quality starts in four outings.

Maple Leafs 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 10:15 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Penguins 3, Maple Leafs 2

Moneyline (ML)

The PENGUINS (-115) are dealing with new line combinations due to injuries but defensively are playing better at home where they yield just 2.2 goals per game. Toronto may benefit from a little more defense being played which should keep them in this game.

It will be a somewhat slower-paced game at times because both teams played last night but Pittsburgh should squeeze out a win.

A $10 bet with Pittsburgh results in an $8.70 profit with a Penguins’ win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Both teams are notoriously bad against the spread this year. Toronto is 8-13 and Pittsburgh is 7-12. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 6.5 (-139) is a reasonable play Saturday night. That 6.5 number is rather high given both teams were in high-event games Friday. Pittsburgh pushed play particularly hard in the third period and was nearly rewarded (over 30 shot attempts alone). The result should mean five or six goals combined perhaps.

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

Islanders-Flyers odds: Philly plays host in pick’em vs. NY Islanders

Previewing Saturday’s New York Islanders vs. Philadelphia Flyers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis and picks.

The New York Islanders (13-3-1) travel to the city of brotherly love to face the Philadelphia Flyers (10-6-3) at Wells Fargo Center Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Islanders-Flyers odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips and picks around this matchup.

Islanders at Flyers: Projected starting goalies

Thomas Greiss vs. Brian Elliott

Greiss is projected to start. He has posted a 7-1-3 record with a 1.88 goals against average and .942 save percentage. He has won six straight starts while allowing 10 goals on his last 192 shots faced (.948 save percentage).

Elliott is 4-2-1 with a 2.88 GAA and .909 save percentage. He has been a bit inconsistent with one win and an overtime loss, and was pulled in his last three starts.

Islanders at Flyers: 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 9:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Islanders 4, Flyers 2

Moneyline (ML)

NEW YORK (-110) is nearly even money and rested. The Flyers have played extra time in five of their last six games and it may catch up to them here on the back end of a back-to-back.

A $10 bet with New York results in a $9.09 profit with an outright victory.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The spread is one to AVOID as this expects to be a close one throughout. New York’s -304 is cost-prohibitive given the moneyline. The profit is elsewhere Saturday night.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 5.5 (-129) is a modest, small play given the unknown of how Philadelphia looks in this game.

These two rivals have scored 21 goals combined in their last three meetings. Take the Over.
