Tuesday night in the NHL brings a fantastic 11-game slate. There are 4 games in which both teams are at or above .500. The other games still have plenty of intrigue and some solid value on the board for those looking to have some action. What has been a solid first month of the NHL season only gets better tonight.
Fans are going to be treated to some great hockey tonight. For those looking to make a few plays here are a couple of our favorite bets for tonight. You can also find out our NHL predictions on the side and total for today.
Bruins vs Maple Leafs over 6 (+100)
Hurricanes win -1.5 (-110)
Jets win and game total over 6 (+172)
Bruins vs Maple Leafs over 6 (+100)
Although the Bruins have dominated the Maple Leafs for years now, the games always seem to be close and entertaining. Their first head to head matchup this season brought more of the same. Boston won 4-3 in a game which featured 8 penalties and 57 total shots on goal. In a game with a ton of high-end talent between a couple of teams trying to find consistency, the over has appeal.
Boston has dropped 5 out of their last 8 games and Toronto has dropped 5 out of their last 7. Both teams have also scored and allowed goals in bunches. Those respective stretches include the head to head matchup which went over the total. Boston would love to get above .500 and Toronto would love to exercise some demons. Look for both teams to make a heavy offensive push and hit another game total over.

Hurricanes win -1.5 (-110)
The Flyers have enjoyed a nice week, but they have their work cut out for them in this one. Philadelphia is 4-7-1 on the year and is 4-8 against the spread. Even given a few good recent games, their start to the season is far from reliable to take a chance on their markets against the Hurricanes. Carolina is rolling coming into this game. They have won 6 straight games and 8 out of their last 9.
The Hurricanes are 7-3 against the spread this season including 3-1 at home. Their goal differential of +16 is good for 4th in the NHL as they rank 5th in the NHL in goals scored per game and 2nd in goals allowed per game. They also rank 7 in both power play and penalty kill. The Hurricanes have not remotely had an easy schedule. They are just dominating opponents so far this season. Carolina is a team to ride right now.
Jets win and game total over 6 (+172)
The Jets are an NHL-best 11-1-0 which is 3 points clear of the next best team which has played one more game than Winnipeg. Their +29 goal differential is the best in the NHL by 9 goals. Winnipeg also leads the NHL in goals scored per game and power play, while ranking 5th in goals allowed per game. Utah has dropped 7 out of their last 9 and is not an uncomfortable fade in this same game parlay.
To supplement a Jets win, the over brings nice value here. The over is 8-3-1 in Jets games this year including 4-2 at home. Their offensive prowess combined with Utah’s 26th ranked goal prevention bodes well for more offensive production on the Winnipeg side. That may force Utah to have to take some chances offensively to stay in the game. The over looks good in this one.
