The NHL schedule is once again loaded on Saturday night, and there are several of the best teams in the league in action. The playoff push is really heating up in all of the divisions, and that puts additional pressure and emphasis on every game.

NHL Sportsbooks

With so many games, it creates plenty of great betting opportunities. Here are four of the best bets to make in the NHL on Saturday, April 2.

Moneyline Bet: Los Angeles Kings +110

Kings vs. Jets Prediction

The Los Angeles Kings are on the road in Winnipeg on Saturday, and the Jets are actually the favorites in this game. Los Angeles is going to be in the postseason this year, but the Jets still have some work to do.

Winnipeg is the better offensive team in this game, but they also give up way too many goals. The Jets don’t focus enough on the defensive end, and that’s going to be a problem against the Kings.

Los Angeles appears to be on a mission this season, and they pull off this upset on the road.

NHL Odds

Puck Line: Boston Bruins -1.5

Blue Jackets vs. Bruins Prediction

The Boston Bruins host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday night, and this game has blowout written all over it. There is a huge gap between these teams in the standings, but a closer look at the stats show an even bigger gap.

Columbus is allowing over 3.7 goals per game this season, and they won’t have an answer on the road in Boston. The Bruins are led by David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand, and those two players will control this game.

Boston has little trouble on Saturday night, and they win this game by at least two goals.

Game Total: Wild / Hurricanes Over 6 Goals

Wild vs. Hurricanes Prediction

The Hurricanes host the Wild on Saturday night in what could be the best game of the day. Both teams are going to the playoffs this year, and this could be a potential Stanley Cup Finals preview.

This game will also feature two of the best offensive teams in the NHL, and this over/under line just feels off. Carolina does play terrific defense as well, but it’s going to take at least four goals to win this one.

Bet the over 6.0 goals in this showdown in Carolina.

NHL Picks

Parlay: Dallas Stars -150 / Calgary Flames -243

Stars vs. Sharks Prediction / Blues vs. Flames Prediction

Betting on a single game is always a solid betting strategy, but putting together a two-team parlay might be an even better way to go. There are two games to focus on for Saturday night, and they are matchups that look pretty tight on paper.

The Dallas Stars are in San Jose to take on the Sharks, and it has been another disappointing year for San Jose. Dallas has won four of their last five games, and they stay hot with another win on Saturday night.

Calgary hosts the St. Louis Blues, and both of these teams are looking like playoff locks in the Western Conference. These teams are both scoring close to 3.5 goals per game, and this will be a matchup that features plenty of offense.

St. Louis was in Edmonton on Friday night, and that fatigue is going to hurt them in this one. Take the Flames to cap off the two-team parlay.
