Canucks vs. Penguins Prediction: Wednesday, November 27th
I will be in the building tonight for this matchup as it’s been my tradition now going back 7 years to catch the Penguins the night before Thanksgiving and while many years have been more exciting to be a fan than this year, I still think there’s a great angle to wager on in this game.
The Canucks are on the road again tonight after they played less than 24 hours ago in Boston yesterday, so they are traveling on a back-to-back which is never good in the hockey world. Kevin Lankinen made the start in a shutout win so that means it’ll be Arturs Silovs manning the net and that’s not a good thing with his 3.9 GAA and .857 SV%. The Penguins also are set to struggle keeping the puck out of their own net as they allow 3.96 goals per game, the most in the NHL. This game is set up to go over the total in a big way, so I expect to see some big time goal scoring in person at tonight’s matchup.
- Expert NHL Pick: Canucks & Penguins Over 6.5 Goals (-105 on DraftKings Sportsbook)
Capitals vs. Lightning Prediction: Wednesday, November 27th
It may not matter who you are right now in the NHL because the Tampa Bay Lightning are rolling! Their offense has been fantastic in their last 6 games in which they were winners of 4 of those games scoring 27 goals during that span. That could prove difficult for the Capitals offense to keep up as they’ve taken a dip in production with Ovechkin out of the lineup.
The Lightning are also one of the NHL’s best home teams this season as well with a record of 7-2-1 and have outscored opponents 35-18! This one sets up to be all Tampa Bay and the sportsbooks aren’t even pricing out the Money Line as it hovers around -145 so I will take that kind of value and run with the Lightning to win this game straight up tonight.
- Expert NHL Pick: Lightning Moneyline (-145 on DraftKings Sportsbook)
