Do we dare here with the Rangers, who have shown some real life (finally!) In the past two weeks?
It’s too late to get involved in a playoffs push, but with no pressure, Mike Sullivan has finally been able to start pressing the right buttons, never more so than Sunday’s 8-1 romp past the Caps featuring a hat-trick from Will Cuylie. Also, the defense has been very good lately, allowing just eight goals across the past six games, five of those being NY wins, and Igor Shesterkin flashing vintage form in goal, stopping 90 of 96 shots (.938 saves) his past four starts.
As for the playoff-bound Sabres, it was a big win on Monday over Tampa Bay, but ever-so-slightly, Buffalo has looked a bit low on petrol after four months of almost non-stop winning, dropping 5 of its last 8. Moreover, Alex Lyon (expected in the nets tonight) is having his troubles lately in goal, pulled after six minutes in Saturday’s 5-2 loss to the Caps, with no wins in his last three starts, and just .772 saves (not good!) in those efforts. We use the Rangers +130 and don’t expect the price to move much, but we’d keep NY as a play down to +120 at MSG tonight. Play Rangers on Money Line

GOOD TO 7
This game is another not going to overthink it. However we did lose the Montreal in regulation after they no showed for the first two periods. All this big stress hockey games maybe getting to the club late. Nevertheless, we will play this OVER 6 1/2 at the time of this writing in this one. It will be 7 come gametime just as it was on March 17Th and we bet it OVER the 7 and still won. These teams have played 3 times this season and all OVERs. SJ is desperate for wins and we believe the only way they beat this Oilers club is with Offense. Edmonton is on a back to back so that helps the OVER here. When Edmonton hits the road they seem to play much worse defensively. They allowed 6 goals in Salt Lake City last night and we believe both teams will score tonight. We see a up and down competitive game.

[FREE PICK] on Washington Capitals - ML | Good until -160.
With so many teams still battling it out in the Eastern Conference, it's pretty much over for the Capitals if they don't win this game. Yes, it's going to be extremely difficult to win these last four games. But, the least that they can do is try. Toronto has been giving up a ton of goals lately, including seven last time out against the LA Kings. I think that Ovechkin will put his team on his back and will his team to at least put them in the conversation.

NHL Moneyline Expert Picks Free of Charge
Certainly the most common and popular type of NHL bet is simply taking the moneyline. In other words, you simply select the winner of any NHL game. If your pick wins, you win your bet. Simplicity embodied.
Free Over/Under & Totals NHL Picks
Similar to soccer, where the over/under is almost always 2.5, and occasionally 3.5, NHL games rarely deviate from an over/under of 5.5. goals. This makes over/under picking pretty straightforward. It you see an expert NHL pick from Wagertalk that has crunched the stats and sees a goal explosion imminent, no doubt that pick will select the over. Conversely, a defensive matchup in the making makes it likely that the expert NHL pick will be on the under.
Winning an NHL over/under bet is easy. You just choose whether or not the teams combined will score more than 5.5. goals or fewer than 5.5 goals. If you are correct, you win your bet.
Free Expert Puck Line Predictions
An exciting NHL bet is picking the puck line. This is really just betting against the spread, but hockey gets a cooler name: THE PUCK LINE. Sounds great, does it not? For more information on betting the puck line, visit our puck line explanation article. In short, though, you are simply getting better odds than you would on a moneyline bet, because sportsbook allow you to choose from multiple puck lines, you can bet on a larger puck line for a greater return.
WagerTalk expert puck line picks are completely free and a common pick type you will see here.
