NHL Betting Picks Saturday 5/8
Welcome to Keith’s NHL Betting Picks Saturday 5/8. The Model was quiet last night going 0-1-1. Minnesota did not play a great game and were lucky to sneak an OT win against Anaheim, but that still didn’t help our -1.5 play. The Caps/Flyers looked to be in cruise control on that over with 5 goals through 2 periods. But a flat 3rd period and only 1 empty net goal led to a push on that over, glad we didn’t bite on the 6.5. The last big slate of the year and last Saturday of the season, let’s make it count.
We have 14 games on the NHL slate tonight. Let’s take a look at the updated profitability and over win percentages for the teams playing today.

My Picks
Lightning ML (-110): The Lightning are coming off a loss to Dallas last night and have their fate set in the playoffs as they know they will be playing Florida (who they also play today and Monday). The Lightning are a completely different team without Vas in net so luckily we get him back tonight. These teams aren’t locked into 2nd or 3rd yet so these games could be crucial in getting home-ice. Look for Tampa to ramp it up as playoffs are right around the corner and leverage their experience for a win tonight.
Devils +1.5 (-121): The Islanders are reeling as of late and the Devils are getting 3 players back in their lineup tonight (Johnsson, Siegenthaler, and Wood). The Isles will most likely be without Barzal again today. And while the Devils did win on Thursday, I am not as confident they pull it off again today. However I love getting the +1.5 at -121 and think there is some serious value there.
