Today’s Best NHL Bets

St. Louis Blues ML

(-140, Bet365/FanDuel, 2.8 units to win 2 units)

St. Louis Blues -1.5

(+185, Bet365/DraftKings/BetMGM/Caesars)

We are going to continue to run with the Blues until they a) cool off and b) get priced correctly. They have won seven games in a row and six of them have been by three goals or more. They are facing a Predators team that just beat the Hurricanes on the road but did so by getting some puck luck considering the Hurricanes dominated in possession, scoring chances and expected goals scored. It’s one thing to contain the Hurricanes at their current state, but it’s another to contain the Blues, who have been arguably the league’s best offense since the winter break. We are going back at it with another big Blues moneyline bet to win 2 units and added value with the -1.5 puck line.

Calgary Flames ML

(+125, Bet365/BetMGM)

The Flames get a tough matchup against an always tough Stars team who dominated the Oilers last night for the majority of the game. Still, the Flames are on a roll themselves and have now won four in a row. This little run of wins has put them in prime position to steal the last playoff spot in the Western Conference. They are currently one point behind the Canucks but do have two additional games to potentially give them some extra cushion. I really like the Flames with the Stars on a back-to-back.
