NHL Best Bets for Wednesday, April 29<\/p>\n
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n Montreal Canadiens (+142) at Tampa Bay LightningPhiladelphia Flyers (-122) vs. Pittsburgh PenguinsUtah Mammoth at Vegas Golden Knights OVER 5.5 (-135)Montreal Canadiens (+142) at Tampa Bay Lightning<\/p>\n We hit on a road dog at this price with the Boston Bruins last night, and I broke down this pick in the Canadiens vs. Lightning betting preview<\/a>:<\/p>\n The Canadiens have been road warriors all year long. They went 24-9-8 on the road in the regular season, matching their 24 wins at home. They then won Game 1 and went to overtime in Game 2 in Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n This has been a fairly even series thus far, and Tampa Bay\u2019s home ice advantage doesn\u2019t warrant a -175 price, in my opinion.<\/p>\n Montreal is the up-and-coming team in the Atlantic Division while the Lightning are looking to extend their dynasty with the likes of Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevskiy. I just think the Habs are a deeper team right now and have value as +145 underdogs.<\/p>\n As an extra tidbit for this best bets article, I wouldn\u2019t mind sprinkling something on this game to go overtime at +300 or better.<\/p>\n Philadelphia Flyers (-122) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins<\/p>\n I explained why I think the third time\u2019s the charm for the Flyers in the Game 6 betting preview<\/a>:<\/p>\n The Flyers had their chances to tie those two losses, only losing by two (with an empty-netter) at home and then one in Pittsburgh to bring the series back to Philadelphia on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n Despite the Penguins being the better team with their backs against the wall, the Flyers weren\u2019t out of either of those losses.<\/p>\n The whistles should be quieter here late in the series, which only benefits the Flyers. I\u2019ll take them to close out the Penguins in Game 6.<\/p>\n Taking the Flyers on the puck line at -1.5 (+205) or even -2.5 (+340) could be a fun play. If Pittsburgh is trailing late, Dan Muse could get aggressive with pulling the goalie for the extra attacker in an elimination game.<\/p>\n Utah Mammoth at Vegas Golden Knights OVER 5.5 (-135)<\/p>\n I broke down this pick in the Mammoth vs. Golden Knights Game 5 betting preview<\/a>:<\/p>\n I don\u2019t think the Golden Knights should be this big of favorites in Game 5, although I do think Vegas ultimately is likely to win the game. The odds should be closer to maybe -140 or so given how Utah has played in this series.<\/p>\n So I\u2019m either going with the Mammoth at +140 or taking a total, and I think I\u2019m going to go with the OVER on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n There were nine goals in Game 4, eight scored at 5-on-5 and one scored shorthanded. Carter Hart has been especially shaky in net, and the Golden Knights have shown that they can keep up with the Mammoth\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n These are two teams that can put the puck in the net. I\u2019d play this up to OVER 6.5 (+110) with a 3-3 correct score in regulation (+1100) possibly in the cards.<\/p>\n Claim the latest DraftKings promo code<\/a> offer today.
