Tage Thompson o0.5 Assists (+140)
Tage Thompson needs one assist to reach 200 for his career, and his offensive workload gives him opportunities. He's collected nine helpers in 17 games, with 19 points overall. Tampa Bay allows just 24.7 shots per game, making this a tougher matchup than the other two. Still, Thompson's top-line role gives him a reasonable chance to contribute at 40%.

It's a pizzeria moneyline pick today, as the Flames are a much better team at home than on the road, while the Rangers have struggled away from Madison Square Garden, posting a 2-6-1 road record. Calgary is scoring 3.3 goals per game on home ice compared to a league-worst 1.63 on the road. At the Saddledome, the Flames are a respectable 6-4 SU and have gone 6-1 SU over their last seven games. Devin Cooley is back in net, which is good news for Calgary, as he's been a difference-maker and ranks in the top 10 in save percentage. I have the Flames closer to 48% today.

EDM (-194)
We found our hydrogen bomb vs. coughing baby meme. My word, this could get ugly fast. Pick your poison with how you want to handicap this one, but I'm backing the team with the best shooting percentage in hockey and the third-ranked power play (32.4%). Philly simply doesn't have the firepower to keep pace with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and with backup netminder Dan Vladar expected to get the nod, this has all the makings of a blowout.
Zach Hyman o0.5 Goals Scored (+223)
Back Hyman to score tonight up to 36%. He’s gone six games without finding the back of the net despite recording a rock-solid 2.78 individual expected goals and 15 high-danger scoring chances, and his 6.7% shooting percentage is way below the 15.2% mark he posted across his first five seasons with Edmonton.

VEG (-122)
By far the best game on the slate, but we're rolling with ol' reliable and the Golden Knights. Two top-10 power plays are going head-to-head, but I'm giving Vegas the edge. Utah has been a disaster on the penalty kill all season, operating at a miserable 69% clip. That's a recipe for disaster against one of the most dangerous power-play units in hockey.
Anders Lee o0.5 Goals Scored (+325)
This goal prop is recommended up to 29%. Lee is expected to skate in a go-to role with Barrett Hayton and Clayton Keller, and Lee has been held to a single goal across his past 12 games despite recording 3.81 individual expected goals and 16 high-danger scoring chances. With nine 20-goal seasons on his resume, Lee is positioned to score at a long number tonight.

The San Jose Sharks have been a giant disappointment to begin the season, but there are some reasons to be optimistic about them today.
The Penguins are playing the first game of their West Coast road trip and have zero regulation wins over their last six games. This is an offense being led by Nick Robertson's seven goals, despite the forward playing just 12 minutes a night and recording only one point over his last seven games. The Sharks got a boost with the return of Alex Wennberg. It might not seem like much, but the forward returned after missing 10 games, during which the club went 3-7 SU, and immediately played over 23 minutes in a 3-2 win over the Islanders. San Jose also outshot New York 43-31, with its 43 shots on net marking a season high. It's a tough travel spot for the visitors, and the Sharks should be closer to 48% probable today. They also got a lot of weight off their shoulders with that win over the Islanders.
Rickard Rakell o0.5 Goals Scored (+165)

ANA (-146)
The Predators are playing some tremendous hockey right now, but they're coming in off a back-to-back with their backup goaltender taking on a Ducks offense that isn't slowing down for anyone anytime soon. Anaheim has won five straight, scoring at least five goals in every game. Cutter Gauthier has scored 13 goals over his last six games. Insane. Quack, quack, quack.
Roman Josi o0.5 Assists (-122)
Roman Josi couldn't reach 800 points against Los Angeles, but I'm giving him another shot against Anaheim. The Ducks allow 3.67 goals per game and have killed just 73% of opposing power plays. Josi has 18 assists this season, while Nashville's power play is converting at 29.8%. The back-to-back isn't ideal, but this matchup offers plenty of scoring potential.

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.
