Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
Pittsburgh Penguins ML over the Boston Bruins (+110)
The All Star break couldn’t have come at a better time for the Pittsburgh Penguins. They are currently on a four game losing streak, but tonight provides them with an excellent chance to turn things around and some very solid odds. Before dropping four games in a row, the Penguins were playing as one of the best teams in the league and were on a six game win streak. In their four losses, three of them came in overtime and all of the losses were by just one goal. These aren’t game’s they’ve been getting blown out in, they’ve been extremely competitive and will provide the Bruins with solid competition tonight. After some much needed rest, expect the Penguins to rebound tonight.
The Bruins are starting Jeremy Swayman in the net. This will be his first appearance in more than a month and that could really hinder his game. Dating back to December 1st, Swayman has totaled a 2-2-2 record. He wasn’t playing the best hockey and playing against the Penguins when he’s cold could prove to be a disaster for the Bruins. Take the Penguins on the money line here.

Carolina Hurricanes -1.5 over the Ottawa Senators (+105)
Both of these teams are playing in the tail end of a back to back tonight. After an OT loss to the Maple Leafs, the Hurricanes will hope to bounce back, we say they do it. The Hurricanes have been one of, if not the best teams in the entire league this season and they’re going up against the Senators who are sitting with the fourth worst record in the NHL. These are two polar opposite teams and Carolina should win handily. On the road, the Hurricanes are 15-5-2 while the Senators are 8-11-1 on home ice.
Carolina is currently averaging the fifth most goals per game, the third best faceoff percentage, and they are allowing the fewest goals against per game. This is the most well rounded team in the league and they should have a major bounce back game tonight. Take them on the puck line, don’t overthink this one.

Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers over 6.5 goals (-105)
Both of these teams have a stacked offensive lineup and are averaging well over three goals per game. Additionally, neither of these teams have had a great year defensively, and both teams have seen their goaltenders struggle. Mike Smith is expected to start for the Oilers and he’s currently allowing 3.76 goals per game, while Robin Lehner is expected to start for the Knights and he’s allowing 2.76 goals per game. Neither are having a career year and with both teams scoring what seems to be more than three goals every night, this one is bound to hit the over.
McDavid has a new look for the first line on the Oilers. With the addition of Evander Kane, the Oilers have looked more competitive and goals are starting to come a little easier. In the last three games since Kane arrived, the Oilers have recorded 14 goals. Kane currently has two goals in three games. Both teams have proven to be high scoring teams, and haven’t had the best defensive play. Take over 6.5 goals tonight.
