GAME OF THE NIGHT
- Washington Capitals at Philadelphia Flyers, 7 p.m. ET
Capitals-Flyers UNDER 5.5 goals (-115, BetMGM)
BetMGM offers:
Brandon Velaski — Have the previous two meetings this season gone over this low total? Yes. Have the Capitals gone over this total in their last two games? Yes. But this is a playoff game for the Flyers. They sit two points back of Washington and need a win to stay alive. I won’t pick a winner, but this game will have a postseason feel. I expect a tight game throughout.
Capitals ML at Flyers (+115, BetMGM)
BetMGM offers:
Lou Saccomando — The Capitals won a huge game on Monday against Boston and are facing a win-and-your-in scenario against the Flyers. Washington and Philadelphia have split the season series so far, but the Capitals have won three of their last four games. Both teams are fighting for their right to playoff-party, and I like Washington’s veteran leadership to get the job done.
MORE PICKS
- Ottawa Senators at Boston Bruins, 7 p.m. ET
- Calgary Flames at Vancouver Canucks, 10 p.m. ET
- Chicago Blackhawks at Vegas Golden Knights, 10 p.m. ET
Bruins ML vs. Senators + Canucks ML vs. Flames (+113, BetMGM)
BetMGM offers:
Brandon Velaski — It’s simple really. Motivation. The Bruins can clinch the Atlantic Division with a home win over Ottawa. It would ensure home ice against Florida or Toronto, provided they get past Tampa Bay in Round 1. As for Vancouver, it still has an outside shot at the Western Conference’s top spot but needs a victory to keep that hope alive.
Connor Bedard OVER 2.5 shots on goal at Golden Knights (-140, BetMGM)
BetMGM offers:
Lou Saccomando — Yes, I know: The Golden Knights are good, and the Blackhawks are bad. Yes, I know: Bedard somehow had zero shots on goal against Calgary on Sunday, and he only has five shots in two games against Vegas this season. But I believe! I have taken this bet three times in the past (at 3.5 SOG), and they all hit. Bedard will bounce back and put on a show, so don’t be surprised if he also lights the lamp.
