Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Boston Bruins -1.5 over the Anaheim Ducks (+100)
The Anaheim Ducks have lost their last 4 road games in a row. The Bruins are poised to extend their winning streak to 3 games tonight. In their last 10 games, the Bruins have gone 8-2-0, with the only losses coming against the Minnesota Wild and Carolina Hurricanes, 2 of the best teams in the league. Meanwhile, the Ducks have gone 3-7-0 in their last 10 games and have started to significantly tail off compared to how they played earlier this season. For the first time in a long time, the Bruins nearly have a fully healthy lineup, with the exception of a few bottom line forwards and Matt Grzelcyk, a sturdy defenseman. The Ducks currently have 7 players out with injury, including their leading scorer Troy Terry and 2 of their best defensemen, Cam Fowler and Josh Manson. This game feels like a total mismatch and the Bruins should cover the spread.
Since splitting up the first line of Bergeron, Pastrnak, and Marchand, the Bruins have been dominant and proven they have an extremely deep roster. If they can continue to produce on separate lines tonight, they should easily walk away with the victory. Take them on the puck line tonight.

New York Rangers -1.5 over Los Angeles Kings (+155)
The Rangers have been playing some of the best hockey in the league over the last month. They’ve found themselves in first place in the Metropolitan Division. The Kings on the other hand have been respectable, but nowhere near the status of the Rangers. Additionally, this is an instance where the Kings are at a clear disadvantage. They’ll be playing a tail end of a back to back on the road, and they’re the weaker team. The Rangers have a home record of 12-3-2, so it’s hard to imagine they lose this one. Igor Shesterkin is expected to be the starter for the Rangers tonight. He’s the leading candidate for the Vezina Trophy this year as the league’s best goaltender. He’s posting a record of 19-4-2 and has a GAA of 2.07 and SVP of .936. With the Rangers’ dynamic offense in front of him, he should help the team cover the spread. Take the Rangers on the puck line tonight and expect them to get their 5th straight home win.

St. Louis Blues ML over Calgary Flames (+135)
Oddsmakers may be undervaluing the Blues because they are playing the tail end of a back to back on the road. However, the Blues have quietly been one of the best teams in the league this season while the Flames have started to falter. The Blues are a much better team, and the back to back shouldn’t affect them here. In the Blues’ last 10 games, they’ve gone 8-2-0 and have won 3 in a row. Calgary on the other hand has gone just 3-6-1 and is fresh off of a loss. These teams are trending in opposite directions and it’s interesting to see St. Louis as heavy underdogs. The Blues are averaging the 5th-most goals per game while holding their opponents to the 6th-lowest goals per game.
If this game turns into a special teams battle, the Blues easily have the upper hand. Their power-play is the 2nd-best in the league operating at 29.4%, and their penalty kill is operating at 85.3%, which is the 4th-best in the league. The Blues are absolutely the better team, and seeing them at +135 should have bettors excited. Take them on the money line tonight.
