It\u2019s NHL trade deadline day, but there are still seven games on the docket tonight.<\/p>\n
We bounced back on Thursday with the Blue Jackets, Sabres, and Senators all taking care of business for a 3-0 night.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m targeting a pair of home favorites 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 Friday, March 6.<\/p>\n NHL Best Bets for Friday, March 6<\/p>\n Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n Detroit Red Wings (-155) vs. Florida PanthersSan Jose Sharks (-135) vs. St. Louis BluesMontreal Canadiens vs. Anaheim Ducks OVER 6.5 (-135)Detroit Red Wings (-155) vs. Florida Panthers<\/a><\/p>\n I faded Florida last night, and I\u2019m doing so again as it plays the second half of a back-to-back in Detroit.<\/p>\n The Panthers have now lost four games in a row, getting outscored 17-9 in that span. Meanwhile, the Red Wings are coming off a tough overtime loss after a 2-1-0 road trip out of the break.<\/p>\n Detroit is now 18-10-3 at home on the year, while Florida is 14-15-0 on the road. The Cats are also just 3-6 in the second half of a back-to-back, while the Red Wings are 32-19 after a day off.<\/p>\n San Jose Sharks (-135) vs. St. Louis Blues<\/a><\/p>\n The Sharks have won three games in a row since losing to the Flames out of the break, including a 7-5 victory over Montreal on Tuesday night. They\u2019ve now had two days off to get ready for the Blues coming to town.<\/p>\n St. Louis has won two straight, but was outshot 36-27 in Seattle on Wednesday night. The Blues are also selling at the deadline, so they could be missing a few pieces tonight.<\/p>\n The Sharks are a good young team on the rise and have been solid at home, going 17-10-3. Meanwhile, the Blues are just 9-17-3 on the road. I\u2019ll fade St. Louis tonight in San Jose.<\/p>\n Montreal Canadiens vs. Anaheim Ducks OVER 6.5 (-135)<\/a><\/p>\n The Canadiens and Ducks are two of the most-profitable teams when it comes to betting the OVER this season. They\u2019ve each gone OVER the total in 37 of their 60 and 61 games.<\/p>\n Anaheim has surprisingly gone UNDER the total in three straight, although there were five goals by one team in each of the last two contests.<\/p>\n Montreal, though, has been flying OVER the total. There were 12 goals in the Habs\u2019 last game in San Jose, and eight against Washington over the weekend.<\/p>\n This should be an open game with plenty of scoring in Anaheim tonight.<\/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.
