Here are four of the best NHL bets for Saturday, February 12th and a betting preview is provided for each game.

Moneyline Underdog Pick: Winnipeg Jets +130

Jets vs. Predators Picks

The Winnipeg Jets are visiting the Nashville Predators on Saturday night, and this should be an interesting matchup. Neither team is really playing well at this time, and that should lead to a pretty tight matchup between desperate teams.

The overall statistics favor the Predators in this matchup, but Nashville has not been as dominant of late as they were early on in the year. Winnipeg has started to play better since the calendar flipped to 2022, and this has all the makings of an upset.

Take the Jets at +130 as they go into Nashville and pick up a win.

NHL Betting Odds

Puck Line Pick: Calgary Flames -1.5

Islanders vs. Flames Picks

The Calgary Flames host the New York Islanders on Saturday night, and this is a game that could get out of hand pretty early on. Calgary has rattled off five straight wins, and they have been scoring goals like crazy during this run.

The Islanders are averaging just 2.45 goals per game this season, and they really struggle to put pucks in the net. New York has been a great defensive team, but that’s not going to work against a team like Calgary.

The Flames are not going to slow down in this matchup, and it will be a long night for the visitors.

Total Pick: Blackhawks/Blues Over 6 Goals

Blackhawks vs. Blues Picks

Central Division rivals meet up in St. Louis on Saturday night as the Blues host the Blackhawks. St. Louis has been a much better team than Chicago this season, but you can throw the records out when these teams meet up.

This rivalry also usually features plenty of offense, and it’s surprising to see the betting lines sits at just six goals. St. Louis can score goals in a hurry, and Chicago has been known to give them up.

Don’t be surprised to see an upset in this game, but a safer bet is going with the total. Take the over 6.0 goals as it might take five goals to win this one.

Parlay Bet: Maple Leafs ML / Hurricanes ML

Maple Leafs vs. Canucks Picks / Hurricanes vs. Wild Picks

If you are looking for a bigger payout then normal, then putting together a two-team parlay is the best way to go. There are two betting favorites on Saturday night to target, and both teams look like a threat to win the Stanley Cup.

The Toronto Maple Leafs are on the road in Vancouver, and that offense has been clicking on all cylinders. It has been another rough year for the Canucks, and Toronto is the bet at -190.

The best game of the night should take place in Minnesota as the Wild host the Carolina Hurricanes in a showdown. Both teams are scoring more than 3.5 goals per game, and this could be a high-scoring affair.

Winning in Minnesota is never easy, but the Hurricanes are the bet in this game at -110.
