Event:
(47) New York Rangers at (48) Florida Panthers: Moneyline
Date/Time:
Play:
New York Rangers -146

GOOD TO 160

We waited to see who the goalies were tonight and we do get Quick for the Rangers. Normally I would want no part of Quick and just maybe bet the game OVER. However, this is going to be a HUGE game for the Rangers. Quick told the media after the morning skate that tonight’s game will be his final NHL game, That is a lot of incentive for the Rangers. We have a couple of things in New York’s favor. One, the Panthers are a decimated group with at last count 14 players on the injured list. Almost every star for the Panthers will not play tonight. So it gives the Rangers a big chance. Two, this is not the last game for Florida at home and that helps NY as well in this spot. Since Quick has been announced it is strange that the line has dropped from 165 about an hour ago to 146 at the time of this writing. Lots to like for the Rangers

Event:
(51) San Jose Sharks at (52) Nashville Predators: Moneyline
Date/Time:
Play:
Nashville Predators -155

The Sharks weren't going to make the playoffs anyway but their recent loss to lowly Vancouver all but ensured that. They're all but mathematically eliminated now. (They'd need to 3-0 their final three games and get a lot of help.) The Predators chances aren't great but they are much better off than San Jose. The Preds are one point behind the Kings for the second wild card in the West with two games remaining. (The Kings have played one fewer game.) Off a gritty 2-1 win over a tough Minnesota team, the Preds will be happy to see the Sharks. Not only are the Sharks struggling but the Preds are a perfect 10-0 the past 10 h2h meetings. Let's go Nashville. *good to -160

Event:
(55) Buffalo Sabres at (56) Chicago Blackhawks: Spread
Date/Time:
Play:
Buffalo Sabres -1.5 (120)

NHL - Buffalo Sabres at Chicago Blackhawks

Game Thoughts: Sabres come in having won 3 straight and wins in their final 2 will lock up the #1 seed in the Atlantic division regardless of the outcomes of Montreal and Tampa Bay's final games. They face a Chicago team with the 2nd worst record in the NHL and losers of 12 of their last 15. Spencer Knight likely gets the start and has lost 7 straight in goal. Sabres with the 4th best road record in the East and in their last 6 road wins they've covered the puckline in all 6.

The play is Buffalo Sabres -1.5 +120

(45) Carolina Hurricanes at (46) Philadelphia Flyers: Moneyline
Date/Time:
Play:
Carolina Hurricanes -109

Free Pick on Carolina Hurricanes - ML | Good until -125.

Carolina is definitely not playing with its back up against the wall. But, the Hurricanes are still a top team in the NHL even when it's not playing its best. Philadelphia holds the advantage on both Columbus & Washington, leading with a game in hand. But, things can get a bit iffy with a loss tonight. The Flyers haven't beaten Carolina since 2023 and the Hurricanes are still playing really well despite resting their players. I like the better team here.

NHL Predictions Tonight, NHL Betting Picks Today

WagerTalk offers NHL picks on a regular basis - premium NHL picks are offered in great volume every day, but you will also find NHL Picks Free for today and for tonight's NHL games.  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. 

Free NHL Futures Betting Picks

Don't let the NHL offseason stop you - it doesn't stop our NHL betting experts! You will find NHL futures predictions, along with a compilation of the best sportsbook NHL futures odds out there - to help you maximize your potential return!
