Tonight is another busy evening in the NHL with six games taking place. Last night I went 2 for 3 and tonight I’ve found another 3 sharp bets that I will be sharing with you right here at NHL Betting Tips!
Carolina Hurricanes +115 (Bookmaker.com)
New York Rangers -135 (Bookmaker.com)
When you look at the Rangers lineup you will notice how much their recent injuries have hurt them. That being said, even with Gaborik, Drury and Prospal out the Rangers have managed to win three of their last four games. I can’t see them keeping this up without these key players in the lineup. The Hurricanes, on the other hand, are almost fully healthy and are coming off a home loss at the hands of the Washington Capitals. That loss was the Hurricanes home opener and the end to a long road trip. Tonight the ‘Canes are back on the road in New York and I expect them to hit the ice with a renewed energy because they know they need to take advantage of these games against wounded opponents if they hope to make the playoffs.
My Pick: Carolina Hurricanes +115
Montreal Canadiens +110 (Bodog.com)
New York Islanders -125 (Bookmaker.com)
Carey Price and the Montreal Canadiens have been very hot of late, but Alex Auld will get the nod in net tonight thanks to a busy week where the Habs play four games in six nights. Auld definitely isn’t in the same category as Price, but you know he will be ready to go in this one after sitting on the bench for the first nine games of the season. Markov will still be out of the lineup this game with his expected return coming Saturday against the Panthers. The Islanders have started well, but they have lost their last two, including a 5-3 loss to the Habs in Montreal on Wednesday. Looking at their team it was only a matter of time before the Islanders once again returned to their losing ways and begin to slide down the standings. Tonight I expect a third consecutive loss for the Isles.
My Pick: Montreal Canadiens +110
Philadelphia Flyers +125 (Bookmaker.com)
Pittsburgh Penguins -140 (Sportsbook.com)
The Penguins are coming off two straight road losses and should be excited to be heading home where it seems they are getting the hang of the new building having won their last two games at the Consol Energy Center. Philadelphia beat the Penguins 3-2 the last time the two teams played in Pittsburgh, but the Penguins came back with the a 5-1 shellacking in Philly a few nights later. Tonight the game could go either way, but the Flyers will win more than 44.4% of the time making a wager on the Flyers positive expected value.
My Pick: Philadelphia Flyers +125
