The NHL playoffs are getting closer and many teams are on the bubble for those final few spots. Will these teams step up the challenge, or will the pressure get the best of them? Here are my predictions for tonight’s games:
Minnesota Wild +135
Columbus Blue Jackets -155
Minnesota lost last night and for them to realistically have a chance at making the playoffs they probably have to win 10 of their remaining 12 games. That means just 3 losses and they’re likely out. Lucky for them I don’t think tonight will be one of them. The Wild still have hope. Something that the Blue Jackets do not have. I think the Wild will realize that if they lose this game their slim playoff hopes will be completely gone. They will step up, have a big game and get the W.
I bet Minnesota Wild at +135
San Jose Sharks +105
Calgary Flames -115
It’s not often you see the Sharks as an underdog in the game, but I guess they haven’t been playing well and the Flames are fighting for their playoff lives. However, I see a bounceback game for the Sharks as I don’t feel the Flames have what it takes to make the playoffs this year.
I bet the Sharks at +105
Detroit Red Wings -245
Edmonton Oilers +205
The best team in the league that is currently in tough to make the playoffs against the simply put: worst team in the league by far. The Red Wings need to win this game. They can’t go around losing to the worst team in the league and still expect to make the playoffs. I want to see a Red Wings vs Sharks first round match up and I think this is an easy W for the Wings.
I bet the Red Wings at -245
Well those are my sports betting predictions for today. It’s a quiet night in the NHL, but that doesn’t mean the games aren’t big!
