Play:

Washington Capitals -115

With Saturday's 5-2 victory, the Red Wings snapped the Capitals' six-game home point streak. Now the Capitals get an immediate chance for some payback. Prior to Saturday's loss, the Caps had defeated the Wings in four of the previous five meetings. While he's been in a scoring slump recently, Ovechkin has 14 goals and eight assists (plus 7 rating) in 20 career games at Detroit. Don't be surprised if "The Great 8" gets back on track and leads the revenge-minded visitors to a split of the home-and-home series.

In addition to being the reigning CFB champion AND the reigning NFL champion, Ben Burns ranks #1 all-time at basketball

NHL handicappers at WagerTalk make sure the picks are timely and the information within is accurate - be it related to injuries, rest days, or even travel conditions.

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.
