This prop is in play up to 58% because Broberg has recorded 7.02 shots and 11.94 attempts per 60 minutes at the Enterprise Center compared to respective 4.37 and 9.48 marks on the road. He's also seen his ice time skyrocket to an average of 27:41 per night (4:57 on the power play) over the past three games.

I recommend Holloway to find the back of the net up to 30%. He’s gone seven games without a goal despite skating in a top-offensive role and generating a team-high 20 shots alongside 2.37 individual expected goals and 10 high-danger scoring chances. Holloway’s 7.7% shooting percentage this year is also miles below the 14.1% mark he posted across his first two seasons in St. Louis.

Back Bourque to find the scoresheet up to 53%. After posting 41 points and 1.94 per 60 minutes across 82 games with the Dallas Stars last season, he’s down to just three assists and 0.85 points per 60 to start the year despite skating in a go-to role. Bourque has clicked with linemates Ryan O’Reilly and Steven Stamkos for a rock-solid 4.14 goals and 21.49 high-danger scoring chances per 60 minutes this season, but it has only resulted in 1.43 goals per 60 minutes thanks to an unsustainably low 4.4% team shooting percentage with the trio on the ice.

Roman Josi is sitting on 799 career points, and I'm backing the Predators captain to make history against Los Angeles tonight. One more goal or assist would make Josi the first Swiss-born player to reach 800 NHL points. He's coming off a two-assist performance against St. Louis, while Nashville has won four straight and owns one of the league's most dangerous power plays, converting at 29.8%.

Edmonton has won five of its past seven with just 12 goals allowed, so I recommend the Oilers -1.5 up to 52%. Philadelphia is 2-6-2 on the highway with an average of just 1.9 goals per game, and Edmonton has covered the puck line in 13 of their last 20 games (+8.85 Units / 34% ROI).

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.

How to Use the NHL Computer Picks Table

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.

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.
