Picks are opinions, not guarantees. Odds may have moved since publishing.

Two NHL games on the Wednesday slate have a PropFinder pick today. As always, the picks come from PropFinder's game projections compared with the market, and I only write up games where the model disagrees clearly with the price.

Tonight that means a road underdog in Buffalo, an under in the same game, and a home favorite in Ottawa that the model likes much more than the market does.

Philadelphia Flyers at Buffalo Sabres

The Philadelphia Flyers (2-6-3) visit the Buffalo Sabres (4-3-2) with a 7:30 PM ET start. PropFinder projects a 3.19 to 2.67 Buffalo win. Dan Vladar is expected in goal for Philadelphia and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is expected for Buffalo.

Philadelphia Flyers moneyline (+170, Novig): PropFinder model 40.9% to win vs 37.5% implied

MONEYLINEPHI@BUF· Oct 21, 7:30 PM ET

Philadelphia Flyers

Moneyline

The model gives Philadelphia a 40.9% chance to win, while the market implies 37.5%, a 3.4 point edge on the road underdog. PropFinder rates this a strong play. The best price is +170 at Novig. Buffalo is still projected as the favorite, so this is a value play on the plus money rather than a call for the upset.

Under 6 (-110, BetMGM): PropFinder projects 6.03 goals

TOTAL GOALSPHI@BUF· Oct 21, 7:30 PM ET

Under 6

Total Goals

PropFinder projects 6.03 total goals against a line of 6, and the model puts the under at 57.8%. The best price is Under 6 at -110 at BetMGM. With both goalies expected to start and a projection sitting right on the number, this is a modest-edge under, so shop the line before you bet.


Florida Panthers at Ottawa Senators

The Florida Panthers (5-2-2) travel to face the Ottawa Senators (6-3-0) with a 7:30 PM ET start. PropFinder projects a 3.52 to 2.73 Ottawa win. Akira Schmid is expected in goal for Florida and Linus Ullmark is expected for Ottawa.

Ottawa Senators moneyline (-102, Novig): PropFinder model 63.1% to win vs 50.7% implied

MONEYLINEFLA@OTT· Oct 21, 7:30 PM ET

Ottawa Senators

Moneyline

The model gives Ottawa a 63.1% chance to win against 50.7% implied by the market, a 12.4 point edge. PropFinder rates this a strong play. The best price is -102 at Novig, essentially even money for a team the model sees as a clear favorite at home. Prices move, so check the number before you bet.
