NHL Betting Picks For Tonight
1. Stars Team Total Over 2.5 -135 (Pinnacle)
Dallas is a high-scoring team and almost always worth a look at the Team Total Over 2.5. Their defense is horrible and they understand they basically have to outscore teams in order to win. However, the Stars’ offence is not nearly quite as strong on the road, where they average 2.44 goals per game – slightly less than their team total tonight. What puts us on Dallas TT Over here is how consistently awful the Jets have been defensively. You’d have to go back 15 games (all the way back to Jan. 7) to find the last time Winnipeg held an opponent under 3 goals. So until the Jets do it, we’ll continue to look to bet opponents Over 2.5 goals against them, and we like the price on this tonight.

2. Coyotes +0.5 (regulation time) +123 (Pinnacle)
You won’t find many teams hotter in the NHL right now than the Coyotes. Yes, that’s right, the Arizona Coyotes. They’re 6-2-1 in their last 9 games and have scored 3+ goals in 9 of their last 10. They’re playing with a lot of life and confidence offensively, and that bodes well for playing the second night of a back-to-back. Edmonton is just 13-10-3 at home this year and the Oilers are slumping offensively, scoring just 4 regulation time goals in their last 5 games. This game looks closer to a toss-up than the oddsmakers have priced it, and getting the chance to win this bet at plus money by the Coyotes simply not losing in regulation time is something we can’t pass up.
