Top Shelf Picks: NHL Best Bets Today
As the NHL season intensifies, Thursday night features nine games, starting with the Boston Bruins hosting the Ottawa Senators in an Atlantic Division clash at 7 p.m. The night concludes with the Florida Panthers visiting the Los Angeles Kings. Here are my top bets for the evening, including a home underdog, a home favorite, and a road underdog, along with their odds at leading betting sites.
Boston Bruins vs. Ottawa Senators
The Bruins enter this game riding a four-game winning streak. Their home record this season is strong at 6-3-0 at TD Garden, compared to 2-4-0 on the road. The Senators have similar home and away splits — 4-2-1 at home and 2-3-1 on the road. Ottawa comes off a shootout loss in Montreal and have had four days of rest, which might affect their momentum. Despite losing two of their last three games, the Senators remain favorites. However, with the Bruins gaining form, they have a solid chance to pull off an upset on Thursday.
Buffalo Sabres vs. St. Louis Blues
The St. Louis Blues suffered a heavy 6-1 defeat in Washington last night. Meanwhile, the Buffalo Sabres are waiting for their visit, presenting an opportunity for the Sabres to capitalize on the Blues' recent embarrassment at home.
"The Bruins are starting to turn a corner and have a good chance of pulling off the upset on Thursday night."
Author's summary: Thursday's NHL slate offers intriguing matchups with potential upsets, highlighted by the Bruins' home advantage and the Sabres' chance to exploit the Blues' recent slump.
