Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
New York Rangers -1.5 over the Columbus Blue Jackets (+120)
The Blue Jackets will be playing in the tail end of a back-to-back tonight. Last night they were shut out 6-0 and seemed to have no fight left. With how well the Rangers are playing, this could turn into an easy puck line cover for them. The Jackets have now lost three in a row and are 3-7-0 in their last 10 games. It’s hard to imagine they can rebound tonight and keep it close. The Rangers have been one of the best teams in the league from top to bottom. Their offensive skill, defensive core, and goaltending have been stellar all season long and for them, tonight is just another game to grab two points in the standings. They’re on a two game winning streak and are 7-3-0 in their last 10 games. Igor Shesterkin is expected to start in the net for the Rangers, which is a great sign for bettors. He’s only lost four games in regulation this season, posting a 2.07 GAA and .937 SVP. He is easily the favorite to win goaltender of the year right now. In their most recent meeting the Rangers defeated the Jackets 5-3. Don’t overthink this one; take the Rangers on the puck line.

Anaheim Ducks -1.5 over the Montreal Canadiens (+170)
The Montreal Canadiens are in a nose dive right now to get the No. 1 overall pick. In 41 games they have generated only eight total wins. It’s been an absolute disaster of a season and they haven’t shown any signs of turning it around. The Ducks on the other hand have been one of the biggest surprises in the league and have really emerged as a competitive team after an injection of youth into their lineup. The Ducks are currently sitting in second place in the Pacific Division and are looking for a win after their loss in a shootout last night. Prior to last night’s loss to the Leafs, the Ducks were on a two game win streak, in both games managing to cover the spread. Both of these victories came against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Boston Bruins…. The Ducks are a very solid team; they have proven it this week after covering the alternate puck line as an underdog — twice. Against Montreal tonight, covering the spread should be an easy task. Earlier in the season the Ducks defeated the Habs 4-2, there’s no reason they can’t do that again. Take them on the puck line tonight.

Nashville Predators vs Edmonton Oilers over 6 goals (-120)
Both the Predators and the Oilers have highly skilled offensive teams, and their games tend to hit the over. Since their return to play, Nashville’s games have had six or more goals in 10 of 14 games. Their offense has been playing extremely well and some nights they are prone to defensive lapses. As for the Oilers, since returning to play, six of their nine games played have had six or more goals. With McDavid and Draisaitl on the team, the overs are in play every single night. On the defensive ends of the things, Edmonton just doesn’t have solid goaltending and it’s caught up to them recently. In their last 10 games they have given up just under four goals per game and are averaging a .873 SVP.
The last meeting between these teams saw a total of seven goals as the Oilers defeated the Preds 5-2. With how desperate the Oilers have been playing, and how well Nashville has been playing, expect this one to be a bit closer but just as high scoring. Take over 6 goals.
