NHL Betting Picks For Tonight
1. Wild First Period Moneyline -119 (Pinnacle)
Minnesota has been a terrific first period team all season, particularly on the road where the Wild has outscored opponents by an average of nearly half a goal this year. Calgary, meanwhile, is a .500 team at home (13-13) and they’ve been outscored by approximately 0.3 goals in first periods in their own rink. This already looks like a strong bet, but it’s made even stronger by the fact that the Wild shook off any rust from the all-star break with a 5-2 victory last night in Edmonton while the Flames haven’t played since last Thursday. That should only make Minnesota’s advantage in the opening 20 minutes even greater.
