Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
Tuesday, November 05, 2024 – 07:00 PM at Scotiabank Arena
Pastrnak & Matthews Top Shot Takers
Two of the league’s top shot-takers come head-to-head tonight when the Boston Bruins travel to Toronto in what is set to be an almighty clash between two of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference.
Coming into the game both David Pastrnak and Auston Matthews have had 56 shots in 13 games played (the most in the NHL). We believe this matchup is not only a clash between two strong teams but also two strong players in Matthews and Pastrnak.
Although many might expect Matthews on home ice to get his shooting gloves on, we like the line and the odds better for David Pastrnak to bring his shooting gloves during this road game.
The Pick
Pastrnak has averaged 4.1 shots on the road thus far this season and NHL betting odds have his line set at -110 for the over 4.5 shots line. Although Matthews is averaging 6 shots at home, his line is set at over 4.5 for -145.
Give us David Pastrnak to get his shooting gloves on in this game; coming off a seven-shot game against the Seattle Kraken, he will likely need something similar in this game as we expect the Maple Leafs to win this one, meaning the Bruins should be looking to get more shots on net to try win it themselves.
NHL Pick: David Pastrnak Over 4.5 Shots (-110) at Bet365
Los Angeles Kings vs. Minnesota Wild
Tuesday, November 05, 2024 – 08:00 PM at Xcel Energy Center
Not So Wild in Minnesota
Minnesota Wild are flying this season, having gone 8-1-2 overall, whilst opponents LA have gone 6-3-3. However, we expect these two winning teams to play out a slow and strategic game as we are targeting the total to go under in what’s expected to be a “not so Wild night in Minnesota”. Combined, both these teams have allowed only 5.9 goals per game with the Wild having had the 3rd-best goals against record in the league thus far this season.
Although both teams combined are averaging 6.9 goals per game, we think defence will win this one out on the night, hence why we believe the under 6.5 line is the best bet here.
The Pick
The Wild have gone 5-5 this season when it comes to the over/under, while the LA Kings have gone 6-5 to the under.
We believe a 6.5 line at -120 is very generous here tonight and we would happily take under 6.5 goals to be scored in this matchup down to as low as -135.
NHL Pick: Under 6.5 (-120) at Bet365
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. St. Louis Blues
Tuesday, November 05, 2024 – 08:00 PM at Enterprise Center
Lightning Won’t Strike Twice in St. Louis
Tampa Bay has improved this season (so far) compared to how they fared last year, but tonight they will be up against it in St. Louis. Thus far this season Tampa Bay have won just 3 of their 7 road games, whilst opponents St. Louis have gone 3-2 on home ice.
Tampa Bay have also had a poor record in recent times in St. Louis, with just 2 wins in their previous 10 road trips. Coming into this game, the Blues can take confidence having beaten the Maple Leafs last time out, while Tampa Bay are coming into St. Louis having lost their previous two games.
The Pick
We are more than happy to get involved with the home team as underdogs in this NHL matchup.
Yes, the Lightning are a slightly better team than St. Louis these days, but on their day (and especially on home ice), they should be able to get the beating of Tampa Bay and we would happily bet this Blues team down to as low as +110 on the moneyline on home ice in this scenario.
NHL Pick: Blues ML (+125) at Bet365
