The picks
7 picksPicks are opinions, not guarantees. Odds may have moved since publishing.
I'm covering six NHL games today. These picks come from PropFinder's game projections compared with the market, and I only write up games where the model disagrees with the books in a clear way. Most of today's calls are moneylines on home teams the model likes more than the market does, plus a few totals.
Anaheim Ducks at Philadelphia Flyers
Anaheim visits Philadelphia in a matchup of two slow starters: the Ducks are 4-6-0 and the Flyers are 3-6-3. PropFinder projects a 3.27-2.73 score in Philadelphia's favor. Lukas Dostal is expected in goal for Anaheim and Joseph Woll is expected for the Flyers.
Philadelphia Flyers moneyline (-108, Novig): PropFinder model 59.3% to win vs 53.2% implied
Philadelphia Flyers
Moneyline
The model gives Philadelphia a 59.3% chance to win, against 53.2% implied by the market, an edge of roughly 6 points. The model rates this a strong play.
The best price is -108 at Novig, which is close to even money.
Over 5.5 (-111, Novig): PropFinder projects 6.17 goals
Over 5.5
Total Goals
PropFinder projects 6.17 total goals against a line of 5.5, a gap of 0.67 goals, and puts the chance of the over at 55.5%. I like the over.
The best price is -111 at Novig. Both goalies are only expected starters, so keep an eye on the lineup news before puck drop.
Los Angeles Kings at New Jersey Devils
The Kings (2-4-2) face the Devils (6-4-0) in New Jersey. The model projects a 3.06-2.47 score for the Devils. Darcy Kuemper is the listed goalie for Los Angeles and Jake Allen is listed for New Jersey.
Under 6 (-118, BetMGM): PropFinder projects 5.7 goals
Under 6
Total Goals
PropFinder projects 5.7 total goals against a market line of 6, a gap of 0.3 goals, and gives the under a 63.4% chance. The model has Los Angeles held to 2.47 goals and New Jersey at 3.06.
The best price is -118 at BetMGM, a steeper number than most of today's plays, but the model gives the under a better than 63% chance.
Nashville Predators at Pittsburgh Penguins
Nashville (3-3-3) travels to Pittsburgh (4-6-1). PropFinder projects a 3.64-3.03 win for the Penguins. Juuse Saros is expected in goal for the Predators and Arturs Silovs is expected for Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh Penguins moneyline (-127, Novig): PropFinder model 59.9% to win vs 55.6% implied
Pittsburgh Penguins
Moneyline
The model puts Pittsburgh's win probability at 59.9%, compared with 55.6% for the market, an edge of about 4 points. The model rates this a strong play.
The best price is -127 at Novig. Both goalies are expected rather than confirmed, so check the lineup before you bet.
Buffalo Sabres at Washington Capitals
Buffalo (4-4-2) heads to Washington (5-4-0). The model projects a 3.48-2.95 score for the Capitals. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is expected in goal for the Sabres and Charlie Lindgren is expected for Washington.
Washington Capitals moneyline (-111, Novig): PropFinder model 58.8% to win vs 53.2% implied
Washington Capitals
Moneyline
PropFinder gives Washington a 58.8% chance to win, while the market implies 53.2%, an edge of more than 5 points. The model rates this a strong play.
The best price is -111 at Novig, a small price to pay for that gap. Goalies are expected, not confirmed, so watch for late news.
Toronto Maple Leafs at Edmonton Oilers
Toronto (6-4-2) visits Edmonton (8-1-1). PropFinder projects a 4.32-3.27 win for the Oilers. Sergei Bobrovsky is expected in goal for the Maple Leafs and Tristan Jarry is confirmed for Edmonton.
Edmonton Oilers moneyline (-160, Novig): PropFinder model 65.7% to win vs 61.3% implied
Edmonton Oilers
Moneyline
The model gives Edmonton a 65.7% chance to win, against 61.3% implied by the market, an edge of about 4 points. The model rates this a strong play.
The best price is -160 at Novig. That is a heavy favorite price, so the value here is the gap to the market and not a big payout.
San Jose Sharks at Boston Bruins
San Jose (6-4-1) visits Boston (8-2-1). The model projects a 3.84-2.71 score for the Bruins. Yaroslav Askarov is the listed goalie for the Sharks and Jeremy Swayman is listed for Boston.
Boston Bruins moneyline (-186, Novig): PropFinder model 68.1% to win vs 62.4% implied
Boston Bruins
Moneyline
PropFinder gives Boston a 68.1% chance to win, while the market implies 62.4%, an edge of 5.7 points. The model rates this a strong play, and the projected score has the Bruins winning by more than a goal.
The best price is -186 at Novig. Like most heavy favorites, it asks for a big price, so size accordingly.
