Bet: Roman Josi Over 0.5 points (-160)
The Red Wings are in a tight race for the Playoffs and will get a tough challenge against the Predators who are red hot with a 14-0-2 record over their last 16 games.
Nashville has been rolling through teams with the highest goals per game average at 4.25 and the lowest goals allowed on average with 1.81 during their hot streak.
Detroit has hit more speed bumps since mid-February with a 9-8-0 record with their defense struggling as they’ve allowed the 11th-most goals on average at 3.47 over their last 17 games. The Predators have also beaten the Red Wings in seven of their last nine matchups.
It should be a back-and-forth game with the Predators looking to keep their lead in the first Wild Card spot and follow the lead of their captain Roman Josi. The Swiss defenseman has been red hot during the team’s winning streak with seven goals and 22 points over the 16 games.
He’s at a great value to get a point while at home against a struggling Red Wings team. He should be a solid parlay add to anything you had in mind.
Bet: John Tavares Over 0.5 points (-140)
The Leafs host the Oilers, who they’ve beat in seven of their last ten matchups. It’ll be an interesting matchup between stars Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid as they are both tight in the race for the Hart trophy with Matthews hunting down the 70-goal mark while McDavid looks aims to be just the fourth player all-time to get 100 assists in a season.
The pair have had historic seasons and will be a treat for the country to watch on one of the sports biggest stages with Hockey Night in Canada. It’s hard to bet on either of them however, as the two have odds too high to justify betting on them but we can look at their teammates like Leafs captain John Tavares.
The Toronto native has caught fire as of late with six goals and a point per game average over their last 11 plus he has a great history in this matchup with five goals and 13 points in his last 12 games against Edmonton.
These two normally play exciting games with six or more goals in 11 of their last 15 matchups and should serve for an exciting game that hockey fans will surely enjoy and should profit off of thanks to Tavares.
Bet: Panthers Rangers Over 5.5 goals (-140)
The Panthers have been mediocre in March with a 5-4-0 record over their last nine games with their offense falling to 18th with a 2.89 goals per game average tied with the Golden Knights but behind teams like the Blackhawks, Flames and Coyotes who are all out of the Playoffs.
It’ll be a tough test going against the Blueshirts who haven’t missed a step with a 16-4-1 record and the the third-fewest goals allowed with 48 since the All-Star break.
The Panthers are first in fewest goals allowed during that span with 41 goals and has used their defense as their strong suit, which should make for an exciting battle between two of the league’s top backends.
I think we should see a surpisingly offensive game as the Rangers are an elite offensive team with the ninth-best home offense at 3.39 goals per game, while the Panthers are sixth-best in road scoring this season with a 3.31 goals per game.
These two have also combined for six or more goals in 18 straight matchups dating back to 2016 when the Panthers won 3-2 on the road at MSG.
