The NHL has less than two weeks left in the regular season, so we’re officially in the home stretch.
There are three games scheduled for Monday night and I have bets for two of them.
There’s no need to waste any time. Let’s jump into them.
Best NHL bets today
- Golden Knights/Wild OVER 5.5 (-120)
- Stars -1.5 (+130) vs. Predators
Golden Knights/Wild OVER 5.5 (-120)
The Golden Knights and Wild have been red hot when it comes to shooting lately. They rank third and sixth in shooting percentage over their last 10 games.
Those numbers pair well with the fact that neither team has played strong hockey in their own end over that same time frame, ranking 21st and 26th in expected goals against over the same stretch.
The two teams played against each other in Vegas on Saturday and the final score was 4-1. Don’t let that discourage you as there were 73 total shots on goal in the game. If the same amount of shots are taken tonight, I’m confident we’ll go over the total.
Stars -1.5 (+130) vs. Predators
The Nashville Predators have completely fallen off a cliff at the worst time possible. They’re still alive for the playoffs, but things don’t look good.
Over their last 10 games, they rank dead last in expected goals percentage at 37.79%. They also rank close to the bottom of the NHL in shooting percentage, coming in at 27th over the same stretch of games.
This is a big time fade of a team that’s playing the worst hockey they have all season. Give me the Stars to win by at least two tonight.
