That\u2019s now nine wins in a row after another 3-0 night on Tuesday. The Blue Jackets and Stars took care of business, and the Senators-Oilers game flew over the total with nine goals.<\/p>\n
There are just five NHL games on the docket on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m looking at the Hurricanes, Kraken, and a high-scoring game in Anaheim for my picks tonight.<\/p>\n
Read on as I break down my NHL best bets \u2013 and their odds at the best betting sites<\/a> \u2013 for Wednesday, March 4.<\/p>\n NHL Best Bets for Wednesday, March 4<\/p>\n Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n Carolina Hurricanes -1.5 (-115) at Vancouver CanucksSeattle Kraken (-148) vs. St. Louis BluesNew York Islanders vs. Anaheim Ducks OVER 6.5 (-115)Carolina Hurricanes -1.5 (-115) at Vancouver Canucks<\/a><\/p>\n The Hurricanes saw their five-game winning streak come to an end in a tough loss in Seattle on Monday night. Carolina outshot the Kraken 36-15, but could muster just a single goal in the 2-1 defeat.<\/p>\n The Canes now get a great chance to bounce back as big favorites in Vancouver. The Canucks have been outscored 11-2 in their last two games, and 28-10 during their six-game losing streak. They\u2019re just 3-18-4 in their last 25 games with a goal differential of 52-107.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll back Carolina to get back on track with a blowout win tonight against a Canucks team that can\u2019t wait for the season to end.<\/p>\n Seattle Kraken (-148) vs. St. Louis Blues<\/a><\/p>\n The Kraken have bounced back nicely with two straight wins following two losses out of the break. One of those did come in St. Louis, where the Blues beat Seattle 5-1.<\/p>\n However, things should be different tonight in Seattle.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Kraken are 16-9-5 at home on the season while the Blues are just 8-17-3. Furthermore, the Blues haven\u2019t won two straight games since the middle of January, going 3-8-1 in their last 12 contests.<\/p>\n New York Islanders vs. Anaheim Ducks OVER 6.5 (-115)<\/a><\/p>\n The Ducks lost 5-1 last night to the Avalanche, ending their five-game winning streak, and are right back at it tonight against the Islanders. While that game went UNDER the total, the OVER is still 37-23 for Anaheim, including 19-11 at home.<\/p>\n The Islanders have gone OVER the total in three straight games, and it\u2019s now David Rittich between the pipes \u2013 not Vezina Trophy candidate Ilya Sorokin.<\/p>\n Rittich is 13-8-3 on the season with a 2.63 goals-against average and .899 save percentage. He allowed four goals on 33 shots in his only start since the Olympic break on Sunday.<\/p>\n It\u2019ll likely be backup netminder Ville Husso for the Ducks after Lukas Dostal started last night. Husso is 6-5-1 with a 3.26 GAA and .882 SV% this season, allowing four goals or more in six of his 11 starts.<\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n Claim the latest DraftKings promo code<\/a> offer today.
