The NHL regular season will wrap up next weekend, and there are still some things that need to be decided. There is a full slate of games on the schedule for Saturday and some great betting opportunities on Saturday night.
Here are the best bets to make for games taking place on Saturday night, and you will find four different betting types used in making these picks.
Moneyline: Florida Panthers -150
Maple Leafs vs. Panthers Prediction
The Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Florida Panthers on Saturday night for what should be a terrific game. Both teams have at least 108 points on the year, and this will likely be a playoff preview of sorts.
The Panthers come into this matchup having won 12 straight games, and they are trying to win the President’s Trophy. Toronto has been on a tear of late as well, but they did just suffer an 8-1 loss to Tampa Bay.
That offense from the Panthers is simply too hard to ignore, and it should be another big night offensively. Toronto will keep this game close, but Florida will win its 13th straight game.
Puck Line: Los Angeles Kings -1.5
The Kings and Ducks already played this week in Anaheim, and the Kings came away with a 2-1 win on the road. Those teams will now meet up in Los Angeles, and this game should play out in much of the same way as the first meeting.
Los Angeles is inching closer to clinching a playoff spot, but they still have some work to do. The Kings will be focused on Saturday night, and the Ducks won’t be able to do much to spoil the party.
This game won’t be a blowout, but the Kings will pull ahead late and win this rivalry game by at least two goals.
Game Total: Blues / Coyotes Over 6.5
When looking at making an over/under bet this time of year, it’s important to look for games that appear to be a mismatch. That is definitely the case in Arizona on Saturday night as the Coyotes are set to host the St. Louis Blues.
Arizona isn’t going to do much scoring in this game, but it won’t keep the over from hitting. The Coyotes are allowing 3.77 goals per game, and the Blues have been scoring goals like crazy.
St. Louis has scored at least six goals three times in their last five games, and the Blues should have a big night on Saturday. This game is going to have at least seven goals scored, even if the Blues do much of the damage.
Parlay: Senators -150 / Lightning -170
Canadiens vs. Senators Prediction / Predators vs. Lightning Prediction
Not only can you bet on every single game on Saturday night, but you can also put together a two-team parlay. When doing this, it is best to look at moneyline betting odds, and there are two teams to focus on.
The Ottawa Senators host the Montreal Canadiens in a battle of two teams that have really struggled this season. Ottawa has actually been playing well of late, and they win this game as the moneyline favorites at -150.
Tampa Bay hosts the Nashville Predators, and this could actually be one of the best games of the day. Nashville is desperate to pick up two points, but the Lightning win the game as the moneyline favorites at -170.
