Thursday, May 6, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks
New Jersey Devils at New York Islanders
Can anyone trust the New York Islanders after what happened in Buffalo? Somebody sure does, with the Isles' moneyline actually thinning beyond a consensus (-240) at various NHL betting books.
New York Rangers at Boston Bruins
The New York Rangers have played their way out of Stanley Cup contention, and oddsmakers predict the Bruins to ambush the Rangers. Boston Bruins (-1.5) stands at (Even) odds for a faceoff with a steady (5.5) O/U total.
Buffalo Sabres at Pittsburgh Penguins
A rising O/U total (6) highlights a game for which gamblers are not biting on Buffalo after watching the Sabres earn two fat money line wins against the Isles. Pittsburgh's line to win has swelled to (-350) with early shifting.
Chicago Blackhawks at Carolina Hurricanes
The (6) goal total is falling for Thursday's faceoff in Raleigh, but that doesn't mean bookmakers don't think the Hurricanes (-310) will dismiss the eliminated Chicago Blackhawks.
Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs
Finally, an NHL underdog's recent handiwork shines through on the hockey odds board, as bettors pass on the Montreal Canadiens (+190) following the Habs' latest debacle in Ottawa.
Vancouver Canucks at Edmonton Oilers
With the Vancouver Canucks preparing to walk the plank for the dumbest series of NHL games ever, the solid Edmonton Oilers are a (-260) money line favourite to win and keep the pressure on North Division-leading Toronto.
Friday, May 7, 2021 NHL Betting Lines, Analysis, Picks
Detroit Red Wings at Columbus Blue Jackets
National-team scouts will be thick in an otherwise restricted Friday crowd in Ohio. It might not be a barrel of laughs for the laptop brigade, with a Columbus vs Detroit O/U total reaching Dante's barrel-bottom at (5) goals.
Philadelphia Flyers at Washington Capitals
Washington Capitals money lines of (-195) are strangely steady for a club that's still three losses away from potentially finishing fourth in the East Division. Perhaps NHL bettors are more focused on the Caps' (-1.5) puck line, or on a shrinking (6) goal total.
Dallas Stars at Tampa Bay Lightning
Most handicappers would agree the Dallas Stars are desperate compared to Tampa Bay (-165), but effort can only take a team so far on its own. Five games of lost and dropped points brings the Stars to a must-win scenario in Florida.
Anaheim Ducks at Minnesota Wild
Minnesota has surprisingly lost two in a row at home. Is it time for the guys to hold up a stop sign on another heavily-juiced (-275) favourites' market against the dead-in-the-water Anaheim Ducks? Or will Cam and Brian argue for a parlay-play on a team that's bound to rebound?
St. Louis Blues at Vegas Golden Knights
The St. Louis Blues are surging to the finish line and outplaying common opponents of the Vegas Golden Knights (-165), but the public still likes Friday's host to prevail straight-up.
Colorado Avalanche at Los Angeles Kings
NHL speculators are less enthused about Colorado's puck line (+100) on Friday, even against the L.A. Kings, who checkmated themselves out of a Stanley Cup bid with another slump late in the season.
Arizona Coyotes at San Jose Sharks
The Arizona Coyotes will play their final two games of the year in San Jose. With no hope of a playoff bid, will the Coyotes go through the motions, or play loose and easy pond hockey to help cover a (5.5) total?

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers
Philly's postseason chances are Three Stooges-esque, a.k.a. Nil, Null, and Void at 15 points behind Boston in the East Division.

Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for all of Brian and Cam's betting strategies, predictions, and free picks.

Hear the guys discuss their thoughts on this NHL game on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.
Washington Capitals at New York Rangers
An NHL game characterized by a falling (6) O/U goal total pairs a talented Washington Capitals lineup against the hosting New York Rangers, who must win on Monday or give up the ghost. Hear the details on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.
Nashville Predators at Columbus Blue Jackets
Can a team be disrespected despite a thin money line? Nashville Predators are solid road favourites at (-175) in Columbus, yet Roman Josi's long-term production from the blue line isn't doing much to inspire short-term betting as the O/U total shrinks to a tiny (5) goals. Hear the guys discuss their betting angles on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.
Boston Bruins at New Jersey Devils
Home ice isn't expected to help New Jersey against the red-hot Boston Bruins (-230), who could mathematically eliminate the New York Rangers in the East Division before meeting the Broadway Blueshirts again on May 6th. Listen to this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast for Brian and Cam's conversation on this NHL match-up.
Winnipeg Jets at Ottawa Senators
Reports that the Ottawa Senators intend to play spoiler in their final five games are helping the Sens to noble (+135) odds to beat the visiting Winnipeg Jets on Monday night, while making NHL gamblers shy of an initial (6.5) total. Hear the guys hash out their picks on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.
Montreal Canadiens at Toronto Maple Leafs
The Toronto Maple Leafs are proving a popular ML pick at (-145) odds and shrinking vs Montreal. Will the professional pundits of The Hockey Betting Podcast go with the public or give the Canadiens' plus-odds a look? Hear the guys debate their positions on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.
Dallas Stars at Florida Panthers

Hear the guys discuss how they plan to play this NHL match-up on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.
Anaheim Ducks at St. Louis Blues
With the St. Louis Blues a heavy (-260) favourite, Tthe guys look at three different angles to swing at - a parlay, a puck line, or the goal total of (5.5), the latter of which stands as cautious considering STL's attack vs Minnesota. Hear the discussion on this episode of The Hockey Betting Podcast.
Vegas Golden Knights at Minnesota Wild
