Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Columbus Blue Jackets ML over the Carolina Hurricanes (+260)
Everything seems to be clicking for the Columbus Blue Jackets at the moment. They’re currently on a four-game winning streak and have won eight of their last 10 games. They’ve defeated some of the best teams in the league during this stretch, including the Maple Leafs and, most recently, the Florida Panthers, who they defeated last night 6-3.
They’re getting offensive contributions throughout their entire lineup, and are getting incredible goaltending from their third-string goaltender, Jean Francois Berube. He’s appeared in just three games this season and he’s 3-0. He has been confirmed as the starting goaltender again tonight, the Blue Jackets head coach, Brad Larsen, is riding the hot hand of his goaltender and so should bettors. Even though they’re going up against a difficult opponent in the Carolina Hurricanes, the Blue Jackets have all the mojo right now and at +260 bettors are getting incredible value. Take them on the money line tonight.

Buffalo Sabres vs St. Louis Blues over 6 goals (-105)
Neither of these teams have had excellent goaltending in their last 10 games. The Blues are posting a .908 SVP while the Sabres are posting a .895 SVP. Additionally, the Blues are averaging the fourth-most goals per game with 3.54 and the Sabres are allowing the fourth-most goals per game with 3.56. These teams haven’t played each other in more than two years, so there is an element of the unknown tonight; we think that favors the over. The unfamiliarity could create some sloppy play, some extra penalties, and more chances for both teams. The Sabres are on a three-game slide, and in three of those games, they’ve allowed four or more goals. Six of the Sabres’ last eight games have had seven or more goals. Both of these teams can put the puck in the back of the net, and they’ve both been struggling defensively. Take over 6.0 goals tonight.

Vegas Golden Knights -1.5 over the Arizona Coyotes (-105)
This Pacific Division matchup points to a Golden Knights win. In their last meeting, the Golden Knights won 7-1, and that was without Jack Eichel. The Coyotes have won just three of their last 10 games and are scoring only 2.3 goals per game during that stretch. This is a mismatch, and the Golden Knights will be looking for their second win in a row. With the newest addition of Eichel, the Golden Knights are a very dangerous team to play against. Additionally, the Coyotes don’t have anyone skilled enough to line match against Eichel.
The Coyotes have admittedly looked better than they looked at the start of the season, but they’ve still struggled tremendously to score goals and shut down the other team. Vegas outweighs them in all offensive, defensive, and goaltending statistics and it would be a huge upset if the Knights didn’t walk away with a win tonight. The Yotes are allowing 3.63 goals per game. Don’t overthink this one, take the Golden Knights on the puck line.
