Brock Boeser o0.5 Points (-110)
Brock Boeser is one point from 500, and I'm backing him to get there against the Rangers. He's recorded a point in five straight games, collecting three goals and two assists, and has 10 points in 14 career meetings with New York. The Rangers allow 2.80 goals per game, but Boeser's recent consistency makes this a worthwhile milestone play.
Gabe Perreault is on the power play and gets a matchup against the worst penalty kill in hockey. He's 200 points too long in this spot, and the only thing keeping him at this price is his lack of production with the man advantage. However, there isn't a better matchup to get that first power-play point than Vancouver. Perreault is also playing on the top line alongside Mika Zibanejad and Alexis Lafrenière, making his point prop very much in play at 53%. I think this should be closer to 58-60% in a game where the Rangers should be capable of scoring four or more goals. Vancouver ranks dead last in GAA at 4.50 and has been outscored 25-13 during its six-game losing streak. This is an excellent spot to buy into the Rangers' offense.

VEG (-144)
This is a tough spot to pick up a seventh consecutive win for the rolling Predators. Nashville sports an unsustainably high 105.8 PDO at 5-on-5 during the heater despite ranking 25th in CF% and 19th in xGF%. The Golden Knights are also cruising along their own four-game winning streak with a .928 team save percentage and 6.32 goals saved above expected, after all.
Mavrik Bourque o0.5 Points (+110)
Mavrik Bourque is rolling with the big boys on the top line and playing on the first power-play unit. The Predators have ripped off six straight wins, including some impressive victories over the Avalanche, Lightning, and Hurricanes. Bourque has points in two of his last three games and is playing 17-18 minutes while continuing to contribute offensively. The Golden Knights aren't the easiest matchup, but they did just give up three goals in their last game, and Nashville has shown it can produce against quality competition lately. Given his current role and increased opportunity, I think this point prop should be priced closer to 54-56%. There's value here.

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.
You know what the moneyline, spread (puck line), and total bets are, so you're ready to start betting on NHL hockey. But before you start placing bets with your gut, make sure to check out our betting tools and betting guides.
They can guide you with more than just moneyline, spread, and total bets. They can also help you find value in the futures and player props markets.
If you're ready to bet on NHL picks, you first need to find the right sportsbook. Our NHL betting sites guide offers secure banking, the best odds, bonuses, and reliable customer service options for you.
