The Winter Olympic Games in Milan, Italy, are well underway, and as of Wednesday, February 11, one of the most exciting events begins. Germany and Denmark will meet in Men's Hockey, and this game features a boatload of NHL talent.
My Germany vs. Denmark predictions and free betting picks think the Germans should take care of the Danes in a relatively easy fashion. Led by Leon Draisaitl, Germany has a bit more offensive firepower, and that could prove to be the difference.
Germany vs Denmark prediction
Germany vs Denmark Best bet: Germany -1.5 (+105 at BET99)
Needless to say, Team Germany is led by Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl. He'll likely end this tournament among the leading scorers as he's done in the NHL for the last 7+ seasons.
He's complemented by defenseman Moritz Seider, who's having a Norris-calibre season for the Red Wings, and Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer. Other notable top-end NHL forwards on this team include Tim Stutzle and JJ Peterka, in addition to former NHLers Dominic Kahun and Tobias Rieder.
Simply put, the Danes lack firepower in comparison. Nikolaj Ehlers is their only established NHL top-six forward on their roster, and the likes of Lars Eller and Oliver Bjorkstrand are inferior complementary pieces.

Germany vs Denmark same-game parlay
Germany -1.5
Over 5.5
I like the Over in this game. Projected starters Philipp Grubauer and Frederik Andersen have been wildly inconsistent in NHL play in recent seasons, and the line is set generously low at 5.5. This is as straightforward, clean, and simple as a vegan grocery list.
There's a large talent disparity, so expect the likes of Draisaitl, Stutzle, and Ehlers to take advantage of much weaker competition than they're accustomed to.
