Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
St. Louis Blues -1.5 over the Ottawa Senators (+115)
St. Louis’ offense is starting to heat up and they’ve won 6 of their last 10 games. They’re currently averaging 3.6 goals over that stretch and have been getting incredible goaltending from their backup goalie Ville Husso. Husso has helped the Blues cover the spread in six of his last seven games, including his last match which ended in a 5-1 victory for the Blues. The Senators have averaged just 2.69 goals per game, their offense might not be able to catch up.
With all of the injuries on the Senators roster, it’s unlikely that they walk away with a victory here. They’re missing key players, such as forwards Josh Norris and Drake Batherson, but most importantly, they’re number one defenseman, Thomas Chabot. Chabot averages just under 27 minutes per game, the second-most ice time in the league. Without him, the Senators will likely be lost and get caught in bad line matchups with the Blues who have been playing extremely well. Take the Blues on the puck line tonight — their goaltender is a covering machine and the Sens have key losses.

Washington Capitals ML over the Nashville Predators (+120)
At +120, the Capitals provide bettors with incredible value. These two teams match up well against each other, so it’s more of a coin flip, and at +120 it should be an easy decision who to take on the money line. The Capitals are currently on a three-game road winning streak and will be looking to make tonight their 4th in a row. The Predators have lost their last 2 games and have totaled just 4 wins in their last 10 games. Earlier this season they were a team that nobody wanted to play and the Caps might be catching them at the perfect time tonight, especially as underdogs. In their last meeting on December 29, the Capitals won 5-3. Take the Capitals on the money line here.

Edmonton Oilers ML over the LA Kings (+100)
The Oilers are slowly but surely turning their season around after a very dark couple of months. They’ve won 7 of their last 10 games and are coming fresh off of a 3-0 victory. They’re continuing their road trip tonight in California. Usually, a back-to-back on the road could mean trouble, but for Edmonton, they’re leaving from San Jose to Los Angeles and completed that trip last night after their game. They should be well-rested and ready to go for a 10:30 pm ET puck drop tonight.
Special teams could prove to be a major difference in tonight’s game. The Oilers currently have the third-best powerplay while the Kings have the fourth-worst powerplay. With McDavid and Draisaitl starting to heat up again for Edmonton, any powerplay for the Oilers could be a lethal one. Both teams are on a two-game winning streak, but after that emotional shutout last night, the Oilers should be carrying a lot of momentum into tonight. Take them on the money line.
