Christopher's Picks

Money Line Pick

NJ Devils Win(+100)

Reasoning

The Carolina Hurricanes are travelling to New Jersey to face the Devils for the second time this season. In their first meeting in October, the teams combined for 9 goals, with the Hurricanes winning 6-3. This time, however, we may not see as many goals, as the Devils are one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league. Despite this, they still have a chance to win the game.

The Hurricanes have lost three consecutive games, including a 5-3 defeat to the Avalanche, during which they squandered a 3-1 lead going into the third period. In their last three games, they have allowed a total of 17 goals. This is a team built from the back end, so when neither goalie can make saves, winning becomes a daunting task. On the other hand, the Devils have won two in a row and will be relying on Jake Allen, who has performed well this season. Brandon Bussi is expected to start for Carolina. Although he has an impressive record of 13 wins, 2 losses, and 1 overtime loss, his save percentage is only 0.900. If the Devils create scoring opportunities and Allen effectively shuts down the Hurricanes, they stand a good chance of winning.

Puck Line Pick

VGS Golden Knights Win -1.5(+100)

Reasoning

The Vegas Golden Knights are traveling to Chicago to face the Blackhawks for the first time this season. Currently, the Golden Knights are on a four-game losing streak and are eager to get back into the win column. In those games, they have allowed at least four goals, highlighting the need for improvement in goaltending. On a positive note, Jack Eichel has returned to the lineup, so health is no longer a concern. Ultimately, this game will come down to execution, and the Golden Knights must start performing better.

Chicago enters this matchup having won two consecutive games, but their recent success is unlikely to continue indefinitely. They are missing two key players, Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar, yet they manage to score just enough goals to push games beyond 60 minutes. Tonight’s game is part of a back-to-back series, making it their third game in four nights, so fatigue will likely set in. Arvid Soderblom is expected to start in goal, but his performance this season has been subpar, with a goals against average over 4.00 and a save percentage of .873. If Vegas can get shots on goal early and often, they stand a good chance of winning this game.
