The picks
4 picksPicks are opinions, not guarantees. Odds may have moved since publishing.
Today's NHL slate has 3 games with picks: two moneylines and two totals across the card. I build these from PropFinder's game projections compared with the market, and I only write up a game where the model disagrees with the line clearly.
Check the prices before betting, since they move through the day.
Los Angeles Kings at New York Rangers
The Los Angeles Kings (2-5-2) visit the New York Rangers (7-5-1) tonight. The model projects a 2.91-2.49 Rangers win. Anton Forsberg is the listed goalie for Los Angeles and Dylan Garand is the listed goalie for New York.
New York Rangers moneyline (-125, Novig): PropFinder model 57.6% to win vs 54.7% implied
New York Rangers
Moneyline
The model gives the Rangers a 57.6% chance to win, against 54.7% implied by the market. That is a 2.9-point edge, and the model rates it a strong play. New York has the better record and the better projection at home.
The best price I found is the Rangers at -125 at Novig.
Under 6 (-110, BetMGM): PropFinder projects 5.57 goals
Under 6
Total Goals
The model projects 5.57 total goals, 0.43 below the posted total of 6. It puts the chance of the under at 65.4%. Neither team projects above three goals.
The best price I found is Under 6 at -110 at BetMGM.
Toronto Maple Leafs at Calgary Flames
The Toronto Maple Leafs (7-4-2) visit the Calgary Flames (4-6-0) tonight. The model sees a coin flip, with Toronto projected at 3.12 goals and Calgary at 3.11. Sergei Bobrovsky is the expected goalie for Toronto and Dustin Wolf is the expected goalie for Calgary.
Calgary Flames moneyline (+135, theScore): PropFinder model 49.8% to win vs 42.2% implied
Calgary Flames
Moneyline
The model gives Calgary a 49.8% chance to win, while the market implies only 42.2%. That is a 7.5-point edge, and the model rates it a strong play. The game projects as an even matchup, so the underdog price is the value.
The best price I found is the Flames at +135 at theScore.
Detroit Red Wings at Edmonton Oilers
The Detroit Red Wings (4-4-3) visit the Edmonton Oilers (8-2-1) tonight. The model projects a 3.83-2.93 Oilers win. John Gibson is the expected goalie for Detroit and Tristan Jarry is the expected goalie for Edmonton.
Over 6.5 (-111, Novig): PropFinder projects 6.91 goals
Over 6.5
Total Goals
The model projects 6.91 total goals, 0.41 above the posted total of 6.5. It puts the chance of the over at 55.9%. Edmonton is projected at 3.83 goals on its own.
The best price I found is Over 6.5 at -111 at Novig.
