This is a free play on VGK.
I like the Knights as pretty close to a pickem at home against Carolina. For me this is all about the spot. Carolina is playing out West on a long road trip, and they are still undefeated on the season. The bubble has got to burst, and this is the toughest team they will have faced. They beat the Kings on Saturday, and they have the Avs on deck. Vegas is undefeated in regulation, and their power play is firing on all cylinders (2nd best in the NHL).

After Saturday Vegas has now played 5 out of their 6 games to the over in the first period this season. We had the Calgary/ Vegas over for the 1 ST period so we go with if it is not broke adage. Carolina comes to Vegas as a goal scoring machine averaging over 4 1 /2 goals a game. Vegas being at home they always want to start fast. If this game was played in February or March this would be a no play. However, these teams are Number 1 and 2 in goals scored this season. Defense seems to be secondary early in the season. We will look for the clubs to get two in the first period in this one. So let’s get the job done with the Carolina/ Vegas game over 1 1 /2 goals for the first period for your free play for today in the NHL.

Will Rogers

My selection is on the Montreal Canadiens. The Sabres are coming off two consecutive wins, both at home, but they dropped their only away game. The Canadiens lost to the Rangers on Saturday and are about to start a Western Conference road trip, so securing a win at home is crucial to avoid heading out on a losing streak.
Montreal has dominated Buffalo, winning their last four matchups and scoring at least four goals each time, totalling 21 goals. Healthy and hungry, the Habs should extend their streak to five against the Sabres. Play on Montreal

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.
