Play to 60%.

Lane Hutson really struggled to generate shots without Nick Suzuki in the lineup, averaging 0.8 per game on 2.8 attempts while going Under in all six contests.

It has been a completely different story with Suzuki healthy and playing. Hutson has averaged 2.6 shots on 6.1 attemptsand generated multiple shots on target in 12 of 13, only falling short on opening night in Toronto.

The Montreal Canadiens but they have a Top-8 offense and the Colorado Avalanche are dealing with injuries to Nathan Mackinnon and Cale Makar. A high-octane game doesn't suit them as it normally would.

The Toronto Maple Leafs rank 27th in xGF% over the past three weeks. Anthony Stolarz gives them a better chance of competing than Sergei Bobrovsky but Edmonton's starpower will still be too much to handle.

Zach Hyman returns to Toronto one point shy of 500, facing a Maple Leafs defense allowing 3.52 goals per game. Edmonton averages four goals per contest and owns a 33.3% power play, while Toronto has surrendered 22 goals during its five-game home losing streak. Hyman has three points in his last three games, making this a favorable milestone opportunity.

Play to 34%.

Dylan Cozens has generated 23 shot attempts over four games riding shotgun with Tim Stutzle on the top line.

Stutzle is an elite playmaker and leads the Senators in assists by five. Cozens skating with him each shift makes him much more of a threat to score.

Pittsburgh is 24th in goals against and 26th in team save percentage.

Jake Sanderson is playable for a point to 58%.

The Penguins have struggled mightily to keep the puck out of their net, allowing 3.47 goals per game. 

Ottawa has generated more expected goals with Sanderson on the ice than any other player since he returned to the lineup.

Joel Hofer owns a sparkling .926 save percentage and has conceded two goals or fewer in five of his past six. He'll provide an edge between the pipes, and the St. Louis Blues have a good chance of winning the special teams battle against the league's most undisciplined team.

Sam Reinhart needs one point to reach 700, and his recent production makes him my favorite milestone target tonight. The Panthers winger has scored in three of his last five games and has 11 goals on 64 shots this season. Florida averages 3.25 goals per game, giving Reinhart plenty of opportunities to extend his scoring streak against St. Louis.

The Philadelphia Flyers were a trainwreck out of the gate. While their offense is still rather stagnant, they are Top-10 in shot and xG suppression at 5-on-5 over the past 10 games. I’ll trust the defense to smother the low-scoring Columbus Blue Jackets.

The Dallas Stars have played once since last Saturday and they were completely embarrassed on home soil by a division rival. Elite at limiting shots, goals, and killing penalties, I expect they’ll get right back on track against the Buffalo Sabres, who are playing their third game in four nights.

Jamie Benn's pursuit of 1,000 career points continues against a Buffalo defense surrendering 3.53 goals per game. The Stars captain has recorded a point in three of his last five contests, and Dallas could exploit the Sabres' struggling 69.7% penalty kill. Benn's season-long production remains modest, but Buffalo's defensive vulnerabilities create an appealing opportunity to reach four digits.

Anyone up for a season debut goal? Sign me up. Fiala is set to skate on the second line while quarterbacking the top power-play unit, giving him plenty of opportunities to make an immediate impact. The volume and opportunity should be there, and I'm expecting him to make some noise in his first game back.

Farabee has been Calgary's biggest offensive weapon, leading the Flames in points. He's averaging 3.6 shots over his last five games, has scored in two of his last three, and leads Calgary with 6.7 expected goals, so the opportunities are certainly there. Add in a Kings defense that allows 3.53 goals per game and a penalty kill operating at a subpar 66%, and Farabee has a favourable matchup to add to his point total.

Troy Terry is a point target to 55%.

Terry had a field day alongside Leo Carlsson last year, averaging 3.15 points per 60 minutes of 5-on-5 play. 

The New York Islanders are a solid defensive team but that hasn’t mattered against high-end offenses. They have conceded 3.6 goals per game over five matchups with Top-10 scoring offenses, and allowed five in three of the past four.

Both teams are playing on consecutive nights, but Dallas gets to sleep in its own beds while Florida travels in from St. Louis. That's an advantage I want on my side. The Stars are also coming off an ugly home loss to Winnipeg, and I expect a much better effort.

Moneyline

An NHL moneyline bet is simple: all you need to do is pick a winner. Whether that's in regulation or overtime, they don't ask how, but how many, right?

TeamMoneyline Odds
Edmonton Oilers-130
Florida Panthers+110

As with all moneyline odds, the team with the minus sign (-) is the favorite, while the side with the plus sign (+) is the underdog.

Betting $100 on Edmonton at -130 would net you $176 in winnings if they win the game, $76 of profit plus your initial $100 wager. Conversely, if you bet on Florida and they win, you get $210: $110 in profit plus your initial $100 bet.

Spread (Puck line)

The puck line is the NHL's version of the spread, where each team is given a certain number of goals to either win or lose by. Unlike the NFL or the NBA, the NHL spread doesn't typically change from 1.5 for each side. The spread is designed to make betting on the favorite more enticing.

TeamMoneyline OddsPuck line Odds
Edmonton Oilers-130-1.5 (-110)
Florida Panthers+110+1.5 (-180)

The favorite, Edmonton at -1.5, would need to win by at least two goals for the bet to cash. If Edmonton wins by two or more goals, in other words, "covers the bet," you'd get $191 in winnings instead of $176 by taking them on the moneyline.

There are two ways for the underdog, Florida at +1.5, to "cover" a +1.5 puck line bet. They can lose by a single goal or win outright to cash. The odds are shorter, but you have options on this bet.

Totals (Over/Under)

With a total bet, you're wagering on the total number of goals scored by both teams. You aren't backing any single side to win.

TeamTotal Odds
Edmonton OilersO5.5 (-115)
Florida PanthersU5.5 (-105)

Sportsbooks will set a line for the game. In this case, it's 5.5 goals. Your job is to figure out if Edmonton and Florida will score more or fewer than 5.5 goals, not counting the shootout.

If you see a line that's an even number, like 6.0, those bets can end in a push where your wager is refunded if the game ends at exactly six goals.
