Flyers vs. Senators Prediction: Thursday, November 14th

It's still very early in the season but you can already tell the teams that are going to struggle, and the Flyers are a perfect example. They are 6-8-2 on the season thus far but have really taken a beating in goal differential as they are a -14 through just 16 games. Their offense has not been keeping up with just 2.53 goals per game and the defense has been dreadful allowing 3.6 goals per game the 4th highest rate in the NHL. 

Not a good combination to have but on the flip side let’s look at the Senators. Ottawa has been awesome at home this season with a 5-2-0 record and that has been achieved through the offense mainly that is scoring 4.29 goals per game in front of the home crowd. That number puts them just below Vegas and Carolina so good company to keep there. 

The defense has also been very good at home as they allow 2.86 goals per game. These numbers set up a giant mismatch tonight and while the Money Line on the Sens is too chalky, I really like them on the 60-Min Money Line tonight!

Another wager I like for NHL predictions tonight is an anytime goalscorer as the Senators have an implied goal total of nearly 4 tonight! Brady Tkachuk is the name to watch for me as he leads Ottawa with 8 goals this season and he has a great track record against the Flyers over the course of his career. In 14 total games he has 8 goals against Philly so give me him to score once more in this matchup tonight. 

 

 

 

Bruins vs. Stars Prediction: Thursday, November 14th

This matchup is an intriguing one to me and maybe it's because these two teams only play twice a year but even still the matchup gives way to some good NHL best bets looking into it! 

The Stars are one of the best defensive teams in the NHL right now as they allow 1.71 goals per game on home ice this season and the Bruins offense has really struggled to get going. On the road the Bruins are scoring just 2.25 goals per game and their shots on goal are concerning as well with just 26.8 per game. 

This makes the under very appealing tonight from the rip so lock in that wager but in addition I don’t see Jake Oettinger being tested much so give me the under on his saves tonight as well!
