Let’s break down each of the legs one by one.
The Battle of New York will be played for the 3rd time this season. They’ve split the season series with one win apiece, and the Rangers will be looking for some revenge tonight after losing 2-1 in their most recent matchup. The Islanders are coming into tonight playing the tail-end of a back-to-back, they may be fatigued after last night’s game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Additionally, the Islanders are starting their backup goaltender Cory Schneider who will be making his first appearance for the first time this season. This could prove to be a huge difference-maker for the Rangers, who not only have a lethal offense but have won 8 of their last 10 games. Igor Shesterkin is expected to start tonight and he’s been lights out on home ice this season, posting a 17-3-2 record at Madison Square Garden. Take the Rangers on the puck line tonight.

This is a big Western Conference matchup. Both teams are battling for playoff positioning and are both on a 2-game win streak. The last time these teams met, the St. Louis Blues defeated Edmonton 4-2. While the Oilers have been playing some great hockey, they’re due for a letdown spot and tonight they’re playing against an extremely tough opponent. Moreover, the Oilers are expected to start Mike Smith who has a losing record of 7-9-2 and posting a 3.41 GAA and .896 SVP. Smith hasn’t been great this year, and tonight he’ll be facing the Blues who have averaged the fifth most goals per game, third-best powerplay, and the number one shooting percentage in the entire league. This might still end up being a close matchup, but the Blues provide great value on the money line tonight.

Neither of these teams are making the playoffs at this stage of the season. While the Arizona Coyotes are one of the worst teams in the league (31st in the standings) they’ve been playing much better than the Anaheim Ducks over their last 10 games. The Ducks have lost 11 games in a row, during this stretch they’ve averaged just 1.8 goals per game and are allowing 3.3 goals per game. The Arizona Coyotes, while not much of a better team, have at least averaged 2.7 goals and are averaging a .916 SVP over their last 10 games.
While this might not be the most entertaining game to watch, the Coyotes still hold great value. The Ducks are also playing tonight after an overtime loss last night. A fatigued team on an 11-game losing streak doesn’t sound like a winning combination for tonight. Take the Yotes on the money line.
