Evan Bouchard o0.5 Goals Scored (+325)
Bouchard's 12 tallies are five more than any other defenseman and are tied for seventh among all skaters
He's scored in two straight and in five of his last seven games, including in three straight on the road. He's scored in a higher rate of games and has more multi-point outings than any defenseman since the start of last season. The 27-year-old set a career-high with 21 goals in 2025-26 and is already over halfway to matching that mark in 2026-27.
Connor McDavid o1.5 Points (+102)
This is one of the best Over 1.5-point prices we've seen on Connor McDavid all season, and it comes against the Flyers. I'd play it to 55%. The price is inflated with Edmonton playing the second half of a back-to-back, but Philadelphia also played the Blue Jackets in Columbus last night, making this an even playing field. McDavid has recorded just one point in three straight games, but he's had multiple points in 12 of 21 games this season and is averaging 2.38 points per game, putting him on pace for 200. Wayne Gretzky holds the NHL record with 215 points in a season, set in 1985-86, so there's some added motivation for McDavid as he chases history. The Flyers rank 30th in 5-on-5 expected goal share (xGoal%), making this an elite matchup for the Oilers superstar.

Brady Tkachuk o0.5 Goals Scored (+195)
Brady Tkachuk ranks 10th in the league in shots (75), 12th in individual expected goals (10.25), and seventh in high-danger chances (46).
Brady found the back of the net last night in St. Louis and has four goals in his last five road contests.
FLA (+115)
The Panthers have won six consecutive meetings against the Stars, scoring at least four goals in each.
Florida enters this game on a three-game winning streak while Dallas has lost three of its last five at home. The Cats are fifth in expected goals share over their last 10 games (53.45%), and although the Stars sport the second-ranked penalty kill (89.4%), the Panthers have produced the most expected goals on the power play this season (22.98).

Mikael Granlund o0.5 Assists (+105)
The Calgary Flames are an elite matchup at home, as they have the league's worst offense and ninth-worst goals-against average (GAA) when on the road. Both teams are playing the second half of a back-to-back, but Mikael Granlund at 53% or better for an assist is better priced than the Granlund/Beckett Sennecke point stack. Granlund and Sennecke are playing together, and I wouldn't be surprised if Anaheim reunited Cutter Gauthier with the pair after Troy Terry's return led to some line juggling. The Ducks' offense had an eight-game stretch with at least five goals and could hit that mark again against an easy home matchup. Calgary ranks 27th in 5-on-5 expected goal share (xGoal%), making this a favourable spot for Anaheim.
ANA (-150)
Despite having lost two straight, the Ducks have scored the most goals in the league over their last 10 games (46), ranking 12th in expected goals share (52.23%).
The Flames rank 25th in expected goals share over their last 10 (46.52%) and face the league's best power play in Anaheim. Although they sport the ninth-ranked penalty kill (82.3%), they rank 22nd in penalty minutes taken.

I'm convinced the Henderson Silver Knights could beat the Canucks.
The Golden Knights have won nine consecutive meetings while Vancouver has lost eight straight games overall. Vancouver, last in the NHL at 3-17-1, also ranks last in expected goals share in all situations (39.42%) and at 5-on-5 (39.71%).
Tomas Hertl o0.5 Goals Scored (+150)
Hertl has been a beneficiary of Marner's playmaking on the power play, with five of his nine goals scored on the man advantage.
Hertl leads Vegas in individual expected goals (10.07), scoring chances (76), and high-danger chances (52), and he's a prime candidate to score against a Canucks team that doesn't do much defending.

The Predators are the hottest team in hockey and have won seven straight games.
The Sharks rank 29th in expected goals share at 5-on-5 over their last 10 games (45.84%), while the Preds have produced the 10th-most expected goals over their last 10 (34.57). San Jose is just 4-5-1 at home, and Nashville has lost just one game in regulation on the road this season.
Our experts and prediction models are hard at work analyzing the data. Check back shortly for today's picks, or explore our Computer Picks for inspiration.
We've combined statistical analysis and machine learning to make these computer picks. The table above shows you how the computer has done in its last 100 picks against the moneyline, spread (puck line), and total with $100 units.
Seeing where the computer has had success, or has failed, can give you some insight into where the betting value might lie going forward.
Use our computer picks as the starting point in your handicapping journey. Our computer analyzes every stat in our database and chooses the bet that has the most likely outcome. Now, use our other tools to do your own research and see if that research agrees or disagrees with the computer.
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?
| Team | Moneyline 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.
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.
| Team | Moneyline Odds | Puck 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.
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.
| Team | Total Odds |
|---|---|
| Edmonton Oilers | O5.5 (-115) |
| Florida Panthers | U5.5 (-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.
