Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
New York Rangers ML over the St. Louis Blues (-105)
With Igor Shesterkin in the net for the New York Rangers, they have a great chance to win every night. He’s currently the favorite to win goaltender of the year, posting a 25-6-3 record with a 1.95 GAA and .941 SVP. Shesterkin is also getting buzz for winning this year’s MVP award. He has been carrying the Rangers, who have struggled offensively at times this season. This is the perfect bounce-back spot for the Rangers. They’ve lost their last 2 games and have fallen to 3rd place in the Metropolitan Division.
New York’s opponent, the St. Louis Blues, is on a 4-game winning streak and this feels like a letdown spot for them. The Rangers as an underdog provide great value, These teams haven’t played each other in 2 years, so there is an element of the unknown. But considering the Rangers are underdogs, and Shesterkin is confirmed to start, bettors should take New York on the money line and expect a bounce-back here tonight.

Buffalo Sabres +1.5 over the Toronto Maple Leafs (+145)
The Toronto Maple Leafs will likely win this game, but it’s no secret how the Leafs like to play down to their opponent. At +145 for the Sabres to keep this a one-goal game, bettors are getting incredible value. In their last meeting earlier this season, the Leafs almost blew a 3-1 lead, before scoring the winning goal with just 12 seconds left. The final score was 5-4 for Toronto. Expect a similar game here tonight, as the Leafs have struggled recently at holding their leads and have won just 5 of their last 10 games. Additionally, the Leafs have the 31st-ranked save percentage since January 1. Their goaltenders have struggled tremendously. If Petr Mrazek has a mediocre night for Toronto, the Leafs may be playing catch-up offensively. Take the Sabres +1.5, they’ll likely keep this as a one-goal game.

Nashville Predators -1.5 over the Seattle Kraken (+140)
The Seattle Kraken have lost 7 games in a row. The newest franchise in the league has struggled mightily at times this season, and tonight, they’ll be going up against one of the best goaltenders in the league and a playoff-hungry Nashville team. Juuse Saros is expected to start in the net for the Predators. He’s posting a 2.46 GAA and 0.923 SVP. He’s been one of the top goaltenders this season, and he should excel tonight.
The Kraken seriously struggle to score goals, only averaging 2.53 per game, which is the 5th-worst in the league. These 2 teams played each other in January, and the Predators won 4-2, covering the spread. The Predators are also battling for a playoff spot. These are must-win games for them if they expect to make the postseason. Take the Predators to win by -1.5 tonight.
