Expert NHL moneyline picks: Nov. 2
Red Wings vs Panthers pick: Panthers
The Florida Panthers are 6-2 over their last eight games, and their new-look top line of Matthew Tkachuk, Brady Tkachuk, and Sam Bennett is giving teams fits.
Their power play will also trouble the Detroit Red Wings, who are 26th in power-play goals allowed per 60.
Golden Knights vs Bruins pick: Golden Knights
The Vegas Golden Knights are fourth in the league with an xG differential of +0.80 per 60 minutes across all situations. They're a very good team, and their ability to limit penalties helps mask a struggling penalty kill.
The Boston Bruins' 5-on-5 profile is not quite as strong, and they don't have the lights-out power play to expose Vegas the rare occasion they take a penalty.
I expect local star Jack Eichel to put on a show and lead the Golden Knights to a marquee win.
Avalanche vs Blackhawks pick: Avalanche
The Colorado Avalanche rely heavily on their speed to skate teams into the ground, and they should have plenty of pep in their step having played just twice in the past seven nights.
The Chicago Blackhawks sit 31st in both goals and goals against, giving them no clear path to success against one of the league's best teams.
Flames vs Sharks pick: Sharks
The Calgary Flames are 1-5 on the road, and their only victory came against the Anaheim Ducks, who are top-heavy and were without both Cutter Gauthier and Troy Terry.
Dustin Wolf ranks 45th among 46 eligible netminders in Goals Saved Above Expectation per start, and should offer a great spot for the San Jose Sharks to get rolling offensively.
Today's NHL moneyline combo
Panthers moneyline
Avalanche moneyline
Sharks moneyline
Florida's top line and red-hot power play will be too much for a struggling Detroit penalty kill to overcome. Colorado's firepower will be on full display vs. Chicago's 31st-ranked defense.
Finally, San Jose will take advantage of a Calgary team that is off to a miserable 1-5 start on the road.
