The annual Sports Equinox contains three games on the NHL slate with multiple teams on opposite-coast road trips.
My NHL moneyline picks see value in the Flames riding the momentum of their current three-game heater at the Scotiabank Saddledome, the Rangers continuing their dominance at MSG, and the Oilers running the Red Wings out of Rogers Place.
Read our NHL picks for all three games on Monday, October 26.

Expert NHL moneyline picks: Oct. 26
Kings vs Rangers pick: 
Rangers
The New York Rangers remain a perfect 6-0-0 at Madison Square Garden this season.
They host a Los Angeles Kings team that has just two wins in nine games. The Kings rank 28th in goals per game (2.33) and in goals against per game (3.56), 23rd in shots allowed per game (29.1), and have the league's second-worst penalty kill (65.5%) while taking the sixth-most penalty minutes.
Maple Leafs vs Flames pick: 
Flames
Both the Calgary Flames and Toronto Maple Leafs enter this game on winning streaks.
After a horrid start to the season, the Flames have won three in a row at home, including wins over the Minnesota Wild and Carolina Hurricanes. Devin Cooley has been absolutely lights out during this homestand (1.33 GAA, .962 SV%), though I like the value in the home underdog regardless of who's between the pipes.
Red Wings vs Oilers pick: 
Oilers
Connor McDavid may outscore the Detroit Red Wings on his own.
Despite a tough loss to the Maple Leafs on Saturday, the Edmonton Oilers have still won eight of their last 10 and lead the Pacific Division.
The Red Wings are 26th in goals per game (2.55) and 30th in shooting percentage (8.5) — numbers that don't bode well against an Oilers squad that leads the NHL in both. Oh, and their power play is running at a league-best 35.1% against the 30th-ranked Wings penalty kill (65.8%).
Today's NHL moneyline combo
Rangers Flames Oilers
The Kings (2-5-2) have been struggling offensively and are now set to visit a Rangers team that has yet to lose at home in 2026-27.
The Flames have defeated two of the NHL's top teams during their current homestand and have one of the hottest goaltenders in hockey.
The Edmonton Connor McDavids Oilers should love this matchup. They're up against a weak offensive team with a horrid penalty kill — the absolute antithesis of this Oilers team.
