NHL Betting Picks Wednesday 5/5
Welcome to Keith’s NHL Betting Picks Wednesday 5/5. Happy Cinco de Mayo to everyone! The Model had only 1 play last night and it did not hit. The Islanders lost back-to-back games against the Buffalo Sabres. That is shocking to say the least. It also didn’t help that the Isles best player Mat Barzal was ruled out about 20 minutes before the game. Like I said be wary of this last week of the season. The dogs might be barking tonight.
We have 9 games on the NHL slate tonight. Let’s take a look at the updated profitability and over win percentages for the teams playing today.

Keep an eye out for Starting Goalies tonight. The Rangers/Capitals game will be electric after the antics of Tom Wilson on Monday. That is going to be a must watch game. The Wild/Golden Knights game will also be must watch as 2 of the best teams in the West and coming off a 6-5 game on Monday as well. Let’s see if we can find some value on those games.
My Picks
Jets ML (+108): The Jets have been trending a little down lately, especially with the injury to Ehlers. They are on a 7 game losing streak and are in a battle with Montreal for 3rd/4th place where the 4th place team will get the Leafs. The Flames are all but eliminated and don’t have much left to play for. I see Winnipeg coming out strong tonight to try and build some momentum for a playoff run. At plus money this provides some value and Winnipeg has a good ML edge this year over Calgary.
Golden Knights ML (-115): Minnesota has had Vegas’s number this year for whatever reason. Vegas was coming off a 10-game win streak but have gone 1-2 in their last 3. Minnesota has beat Vegas in 5 of 7 matchups this season. It looks like Fluery will be in net for Vegas who is playing better than Lehner right now. Vegas is also decent on the road this year with elite offense and goaltending. This price is a slight discount considering Minnesota is also good at home and had Vegas’s number, but we like a regression to the mean and a Vegas win tonight.
