3/14 NHL Bets
Pittsburgh Penguins vs. San Jose Sharks U 6.5 (-138) – FanDuel – 1 Unit
Pittsburgh comes in on an absolutely brutal four game losing streak. That stretch includes some real buttreamings such as a 5-0 loss to the Oilers, 6-0 loss to the Capitals and a 5-1 loss to the Bruins. They have scored only two goals in those four games and yes that’s no typo.
Nevertheless, tonight the Penguins are a heavy -278 favorite. You are only measured against your competition or at least they say. Tonight, that competition is the worst team in hockey, the San Jose Sharks. San Jose certainly hasn’t been high flying either scoring five total goals over their last three games. The Sharks are 1-7-2 over their last ten games and as sellers certainly don’t expect to improve post-trade deadline.
It takes a bit of sportsbook shopping, but we can still find this set to 6.5 on FanDuel as opposed to 6 on every other major book. Let’s lock that in before it moves.
Vegas ML (-135) – 0.5 Units, Vegas 60 Min ML (+115) – 0.25 Units, Vegas -1.5 – (+180) 0.25 Units – DraftKings
This seems like a good game to run a ladder of sorts. The Golden Knights look like they are starting to turn things around just in time for the playoffs. Vegas has scored five goals in consecutive games. Their issues have mainly been on the defensive end but that should not be a major issue tonight.
Fresh off getting smashed by Colorado, Calgary has dropped three straight games heading into this one. Across that span they have only scored five total goals. Now it is fair to say those games were against top level competition (Panthers, Avalanche, Hurricanes). However, they have been held to two goals or fewer in four of their last five. Furthermore, Flames goaltender Dan Vladar is coming off back-to-back games where he gave up at least six goals. So, it’s not like Calgary has been making up for things on the defensive end.
Don’t forget these are the defending champs and for their relatively short time as a franchise, they tend to do their best work this time of year. Calgary has been mediocre at home this season (16-15-1) and after tonight, will have a losing home record.
