NHL Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 1/30

We're coming off a day where the NHL best bets went 2-2, so we'll look to build on that and come away with a winning day. 

We're in for a very high-scoring slate given some of today's matchup, so let's jump in. 

 

 

 

Islanders vs. Flyers Prediction: Thursday, January 30th

The New York Islanders are hot right now with a five-game winning streak and they take that into a matchup versus the Philadelphia Flyers, who are on the second night of a back-to-back. 

Traditionally, the Islanders haven't been known as a high-flying offense, but we've seen them break that mold recently. Since the start of January, the Islanders have generated 64.73 Total Shot Attempts per 60 minutes in five-on-five situations, which is the third-highest in the league. 

They are pushing the pace and it's led by Bo Horvat, who comes in with 32 shots on goal over his last 10 games. With time on the first forward lines and the first power-play unit, Horvat has gone over this 2.5 prop in 9 of the 11 games this month. Both Horvat and the Islanders overall have been solid and that shouldn't be slowing down against the Flyers tonight. 

 

 

 

Blue Jackets vs. Golden Knights Prediction: Thursday, January 30th

The Vegas Golden Knights continue to struggle with consistency in terms of picking up wins, but their players have a level of consistency we can trust. 

Pavel Dorofeyev might not be a household name for all NHL fans, but he has been downright awesome for Vegas this season and a player we can trust. Dorofeyev leads the team with 22 goals, and he has 152 shots on goal, which are the second-most behind only Jack Eichel. 

Dorofeyev comes in with at least 2 shots on goal in 13 of the 14 games in January, putting him in play to hit this prop every night. He has a great matchup against the Columbus Blue Jackets, who have allowed 66.87 Total Shot Attempts per 60 minutes in five-on-five situations, which is the third-most in the league since the start of the month. 

While the team is a bit inconsistent, Dorofeyev is solid right now and we can trust him on a nightly basis.
