Forsberg finished Game 1 with 30 saves, but it still wasn’t enough for the LA Kings to secure the victory. Heading into Game 2, I’m expecting even more offensive pressure from the Colorado Avalanche, more shots from the outside, stronger contributions from their depth players, and potentially more opportunities on the power play.
The Avalanche recorded 32 shots in Game 1, and there’s a strong case they could generate even more in Game 2. This 27.5 save prop reflects the expectation of significant shot volume, especially considering Colorado’s depth didn’t even have a standout performance in the opener.
I also don’t expect the Kings to replicate the same defensive effort they showed in Game 1. With the Avalanche holding the last change on home ice, it sets up well for their supporting cast to create more offensive opportunities.
With the expectation of sustained pressure and plenty of shots from the home team, the play is Over 27.5 saves.

Colorado secured a win in the series opener on Sunday (2-1), which is significant because NHL road underdogs of +200 or greater coming off a loss are 330-979 (25.2%; -12.0% ROI) and -5.3 ROI on the PL, including 135-436 (23.6%; -15.4% ROI) and -6.1% ROI on the PL, losing by an average margin of 1.6 goals per game. Game 2 on Tuesday marks the Kings’ fifth consecutive road affair, and .499 or worse underdogs entering off back-to-back road affairs are 1468-2348 (38.5%; -5.0% ROI) and -3.0 ROI on the PL, including 555-962 (36.6%; -7% ROI) and -4.2% ROI on the PL. Moreover, NHL underdogs coming off three straight road games are 1194-1833 (39.4%; -5.7% ROI) and -4.3 ROI on the PL, including 469-778 (37.6%; -7.5% ROI) and -5.2% ROI on the PL. Even worse, .499 or worse underdogs entering off four consecutive road affairs are 337-553 (37.9%; -7.3% ROI) and -3.9% ROI on the PL. Finally, the final score in Game 1 is also notable: NHL favorites coming off a win as home favorites that allowed fewer than 3 goals are 1535-888 (63.4%; +2.6% ROI). Take the Colorado Avalanche as Jeff Keim’s Free Pick Winner for Tuesday, April 21.

The Avalanche won Game 1 by a 2-1 score, one of three Sunday games to be decided by a single goal. I said the following, prior to Game 1 and feel much the same way about Game 2. "The Avalanche are listed as heavy favorites on the money-line. As a result, we're able to get an extra +1.5 goals with the Kings on the puck-line, without breaking the bank. I feel that's where the value lies in this game. Yes, the Avs are very strong, particularly on home ice. However, they've got all the pressure on them. Expected to lose, the Kings have no pressure at all. They've been stronger on the road all season. The Kings had more OT/SO losses, all of which obviously came by one goal, than any team in the league this season." Let's grab the +1.5 goals with Kings on the puck-line. *good up to +1.5 -125

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.
