Saturday’s are always big nights in the NHL and this Saturday is no exception. 28 teams are in action tonight and we have found 2 sharp bets for tonights games that we will share.
Washington Capitals -110 (Bookmaker.com)
Calgary Flames -105 (TheSportsbook.com)
The Washington Capitals visit Calgary tonight in what most Bookmakers have as a pick’em game. The Capitals lost their last game in Minnesota where Wild goaltender Nicklas Backstrom stood on his head. The Caps are (6-4-0) this season, but their road record is a subpar (2-3-0). The Flames have been scoring on command as of late with 21 goals for in their last 4 games. Even with 5 goals for last game the team lost to the Avalanche who were able to one-up them scoring 6. The Flames are also (6-4-0) this season with a (4-2-0) home record. Each team will look to get back to their winning ways tonight.
My Pick: Washington Capitals -110
Over/Under 5.5 -110 (Bookmaker.com)
The Flames and Capitals are two of the highest scoring teams in the league and the Flames have been on a tear of late. I expect another high score in this one.
My Pick: Over 5.5 -110
Anaheim Ducks (+1.5) -160 (TheSportsbook.com)
San Jose Sharks (-1.5) +145 (Bookmaker.com)
The Ducks have regained some kind of respect within the league after their horrible start to the season. That being said the Ducks are still (2-5-0) on the road and have allowed the second most goals in the league. The Ducks have lost 4 of their 11 games this season by more than 2 goals. The Sharks have had a slow start to the season by their high standards, but have won 3 of their last 4 and it looks like their offense is finally clicking. The Sharks are only (1-2-1) at home, but of their 4 total wins this season 3 have been by 2 or more goals and the most recent 3 wins have been by large margins. I expect the Sharks to come out firing and score at least 4 goals against the Ducks tonight. They should be able to cover the 1.5 goal spread more than 41% of the time against this Ducks team that is weak at the back end. The physical forwards will be too much to handle and it will result in more chances than Hiller can handle.
My Pick: San Jose Sharks (-1.5) +145
