Don’t let March Madness distract you from the fact there’s 11 NHL games to bet on tonight. It’s time to set up multiple screens and mix in some hockey with your basketball action.
I finally got back on track with my NHL picks last night, pulling off a 3-0 sweep to bring my season long record back into the black.
Let’s keep the momentum tonight.

Devils -130 vs. Lightning
Tampa Bay Lightning @ New Jersey Devils | Odds by BetMGM


The Devils just played the Lightning on Tuesday, and lost by a final score of 4-1, but I’m willing to take a shot on them getting their revenge tonight. Over their last 10 games, the Devils rank fourth in the NBA in 5-on-5 venue and adjusted CORSI%, which measures all types of shots both for and against. The Lightning, meanwhile, rank 14th in that stat.
Over the same stretch of games, the Devils also lead the NHL in expected goals percentage. Don’t overthink their recent loss to the Lightning, New Jersey has been playing much better hockey and I’m willing to bet on them in the rematch.

Penguins +120 vs. Rangers
Pittsburgh Penguins @ New York Rangers | Odds by BetMGM


The New York Rangers have had a ton of offensive issues as of late, so I won’t hesitate to take the Penguins as underdogs at MSG.
Over their last 10 games, the Rangers rank just 24th in 5-on-5 venue and score adjusted expected goals for, which tells me they’ve struggled to create scoring opportunities. The Penguins, meanwhile, are second in the NHL in that stat.
This game is pivotal if the Penguins want to get out of being in a wild card spot, and I think they’re the best underdog bet on the boards tonight.

Stars/Oilers UNDER 6.5 (+115)
Dallas Stars @ Edmonton Oilers | Odds by BetMGM


When you think of the Edmonton Oilers you immediately think of Connor McDavid scoring goals. But, you may be surprised to find out that they’ve been one of the best defensive teams in the NHL in recent weeks. Over their last 10 games, they rank sixth in the league in 5-on-5 score and venue adjusted expected goals against.
The Stars rank even higher in that stat, coming in at second over the same stretch of games.
So, we have two of the top six defensive teams in the NHL over the last 10 games, but yet the total is set at 6.5 with the under at plus-money?
Yes, please.
