Red Wings at Ducks: Projected starting goalies

Jimmy Howard vs. John Gibson

Howard has posted a 2-8 record so far with a 3.99 goals against average and .887 save percentage. He has won three straight starts while allowing just six goals on his last 84 shots faced.

Gibson expects to get the nod Tuesday despite allowing six goals to the Edmonton Oilers Sunday night. He is 6-8 with a 2.80 GAA and .915 SV%. Gibson gets less than 2.5 goals per game of support which is in the bottom five of the league among starters.

Red Wings 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 Tuesday at 7:55 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Ducks 3, Red Wings 2

Moneyline (ML)

The DUCKS (-154) are a bit more rested here as Detroit is on a West Coast road trip. Detroit has won two straight while Anaheim has dropped consecutive games at home. This has brought down the moneyline a bit and may continue to do so during the day.

A $10.00 bet with Anaheim results in a $6.49 profit with an outright win for the Ducks.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The spread is a bet to AVOID as the Ducks have been spotty at home of late. Also, Anaheim has won three of the last four matchups but needed empty-net goals in two of them to provide the extra cushion. These teams just tend to play lower-scoring contests.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 5.5 (+105) is a modest, small play. Both teams could score three-plus goals or this could be a 2-1 outcome. There is a good amount of variance here.

The last four meetings have seen the Under connect thrice.

Penguins-Rangers odds: NY Rangers slight dogs at MSG

Previewing Tuesday’s Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis and picks.

The Pittsburgh Penguins (10-6-1) travel to Manhattan to face the New York Rangers (7-6-2) at Madison Square Garden Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. ET. We analyze the Penguins-Rangers odds and lines while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Penguins at Rangers: Projected starting goalies

Matt Murray vs. Alexandar Georgiev

Murray has a 9-3-1 record so far with a 2.35 goals against average and .916 save percentage. He has won consecutive starts beyond regulation while stopping 49 of his last 54 shots faced.

Georgiev is confirmed to be in net after Henrik Lundqvist played Sunday. Georgiev is 3-3-1 with a 2.87 GAA and .913 save percentage. He seeks to bounce back tonight after getting shelled for six goals on 40 shots at home against the Ottawa Senators last Monday.

Penguins 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 Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Rangers 4, Penguins 3

Moneyline (ML)

The RANGERS (-106) are without C Mika Zibanejad (head) but Pittsburgh will be without C Sidney Crosby (lower body) for the next few games. That certainly levels the ice some. Also, New York not starting Lundqvist may be a benefit as Georgiev wants to show his last start was a fluke.

A $10 bet on New York results in a $9.43 profit with an outright win.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Typically, when there is a very close moneyline, the spread is very divergent. If Pittsburgh was not the slightly favored team, there would be more enticement. However, that is not the case. AVOID.

Over/Under (O/U)

The OVER 6.5 (+120) is worth a tiny bet Tuesday night as both teams will yield some goals. Pittsburgh allows 3.14 goals per game on the road while New York allows 3.6 per contest at home. The Rangers could lure the Penguins into a more high-event game than they bargained for.

Panthers-Bruins odds: Boston favored on home ice

Previewing Tuesday’s Florida Panthers at Boston Bruins sports betting odds and lines, with NHL matchup analysis and picks.

The Florida Panthers (8-4-5) meet up with the slumping Boston Bruins (11-3-3) Tuesday at TD Garden for a 7 p.m. ET puck drop. We analyze the Panthers-Bruins odds and lines, while providing NHL betting tips around this matchup.

Panthers at Bruins: Projected starting goalies

Sergei Bobrovsky vs. Tuukka Rask

Bobrovsky is 6-3-4 through 13 starts and 14 games played to start what’s expected to be a long tenure with the Panthers after signing a monster free-agent deal in the offseason. He has a .884 save percentage and 3.39 goals against average.

Rask is 7-2-1 through 10 starts with a .933 SV% and 1.99 GAA. The 32-year-old gave up a total of eight goals over his last two starts while facing 62 shots on goal.

Panthers 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 9:20 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Bruins 3, Panthers 1

Moneyline (ML)

The Bruins come into Tuesday with a 0-2-1 record over their last three games, but still possess a 7-0-2 home record after Sunday’s shootout loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. Their plus-17 goal differential is tops in the Atlantic Division and second in the NHL. The Panthers beat the New York Rangers 6-5 in a shootout Sunday to snap a two-game skid. They’re 5-3-3 straight up on the road with a minus-1 goal differential.

Back the BRUINS (-176) to buck the rare losing streak. They didn’t lose four straight games at any point last season.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Bruins to win in regulation, overtime or a shootout returns a profit of $5.69.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Get better value on the home side by backing the BRUINS to cover the puck line of -1.5 at +150 odds and win by two or more goals. Nine of their 11 wins on the season were by at least a two-goal margin.

Both teams have been very successful against the spread, with Boston going 7-2 on home ice and 10-7 overall. The Panthers are 10-7 overall and 7-4 on the road. Still, take the value with the same $10 wager returning a profit of $15 with a multi-goal Bruins win.

Over/Under (O/U)

Take the UNDER 6.5 (-154). These are two of the better goaltenders in the league stuck in minor slumps. The smart play is expecting them to both get back on track, resulting in fewer than seven total goals Tuesday.
