Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
St. Louis Blues ML (+125) over the Washington Capitals
The St. Louis Blues have now lost 3 games in a row and are in desperate need of a bounce-back game, and we think they do it tonight. The last time these two met, the Blues won 5-1. They are one of the best teams in the Western Conference and have just had bad puck luck over their last 3 games. Each of their recent losses have been separated by just one goal, with one of the games going to a shootout and another going to overtime.
The Blues are competitive every game, and tonight the money line provides great value for bettors. The Blues are averaging the 5th-most goals per game and have the 2nd-best power play in the league. With a win tonight, the Blues can jump from 4th place in their division to 2nd place. This game means much more to the Blues tonight, so expect them to bring a lot of energy to this one.

Philadelphia Flyers ML (+120) over the Detroit Red Wings
The Philadelphia Flyers are no longer playing for the playoffs this season. After trading away their captain, their remaining games are going to come down to pride. They’re coming off an impressive 2-1 victory and are looking to string together a 2-game win streak. They’re going up against the youthful Detroit Red Wings tonight and the Flyers will be looking for some revenge after a 4-2 loss in their last meeting.
With no expectations to make the playoffs, and now captain-less, the Flyers are able to play loose and be creative. Additionally, with the trade deadline over, players won’t be gripping their stick extra tight and can focus on improving individually and putting together wins for the team. The Red Wings are 2-7-1 in their last 10 games, making them very beatable tonight. The Flyers have averaged a .917 SVP over the last 10 games. If they can get another solid night of goaltending, they should walk away with another victory. Take them on the money line.

Edmonton Oilers ML (+105) over the Dallas Stars
The Edmonton Oilers’ win streak might have come to an end, but last night they showed that winning 5 in a row wasn’t a fluke. They took the Colorado Avalanche, the best team in the league, to overtime last night in a 3-2 loss. While they are playing in the tail-end of a back-to-back, that shouldn’t affect the Oilers tonight too much. They’re going up against the Dallas Stars who struggle to produce much offense, and don’t have the line-matching to go up against Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.
Over their last 10 games, the Oilers are averaging 3.8 goals per game and posting a combined .914 SVP. Their offense has started to click again, and their goaltending has had a resurgence. Mikko Koskinen will be getting the start tonight for the Oilers, and he’s gone 11-1-2 in his last 13 games. He’s been very impressive and one of the main reasons the Oilers have managed to crawl back into solid playoff positioning. Take the Oilers on the money line tonight.
