Red Wings vs. Avalanche Prediction: Wednesday, March 25th

The Red Wings head into tonight continuing their western conference road trip and will be playing back-to-back nights as well after beating the Utah Hockey Club to win just their first game in 6 attempts. I’m not seeing them building off that momentum though as they head into the Rocky Mountains to take on the Avalanche, a team that has been scalding hot in March!

The Avalanche have won 8 of their last 10 games and it’s come on the back of the offense that’s scored 40 total goals during this stretch, the 2nd most in the NHL. Separately they are also riding a 9-game winning streak on home ice where they’ve covered the spread of 1.5 goals in 8 of them. 

This makes the Avs Puck Line firmly in play tonight especially seeing as the Red Wings have massive defensive issues and their goaltending with Cam Talbot has been pedestrian at best with his 3.02 GAA and .898 SV%. 

This game has blowout written all over it and I intend to fully back the Avs at home for my NHL best bets today in tonight’s cross conference matchup. 

 

 

 

Penguins vs. Lightning Prediction: Wednesday, March 25th

The month of March has consisted of me betting Penguins games and betting them to hit the over. That strategy has been major dividends as the Pittsburgh offense has come back to life while their blue line and goaltending continues to be an issue. 

In the last 5 games the Penguins have seen their games go over in every single game and the combined goal total sits at a whopping 40 goals! 

Hard to see that slowing down against a Lightning team that scored 32 goals over the past 10 games and averages 3.62 goals per game at home this season. 

The one hang up could be a gem from Andrei Vasilevskiy if he starts in net for the Lightning with a 2.36 GAA in the month of March but given the game flow I expect the Penguins need just a couple of goals to push the total over as the Lightning should be good for 4-5 in the net tonight. 

The line of 6 is a friendly one on the total as well, so our NHL best bets today will smash that number and root for lots of goals!
