GAME OF THE NIGHT: New York Rangers at Boston Bruins, 7 p.m. ET
Bruins 3-Way ML (+120)
Brandon Velaski — The Bruins are at home and rolling at the moment. The Rangers are coming off a 4-2 home loss against Winnipeg on Tuesday. I don’t care that New York won the first two meetings against Boston. We haven’t been doing so hot with these hockey wagers, so it’s time to start betting with your gut.
SGP: Bruins ML vs. Rangers and Under 6.5 (+180)
Lou Saccomando — The Rangers took the first two games of the season series, but Boston has won three in a row and five of its last six. The Rangers and Bruins are tied for sixth in the NHL in goals allowed per game at 2.70. Expect a clogged neutral zone and good goaltending in this possible Eastern Conference Final showdown.
OTHER PICKS
Blues ML at Senators (+110)
Brandon Velaski — St. Louis lost its last game, but that 4-3 home defat came against an all-world Colorado Avalanche team. Before that, the Blues had won four in a row. Ottawa has been demolished in its last two games by a combined score of 13-4. If you REALLY like St. Louis, go with the three-way ML at +155 since the Senators haven’t won a game in regulation since Feb. 22.
Connor Bedard Over 3.5 SOG vs. Ducks (+105)
Lou Saccomando — The last bet I won was this exact same wager from last week, when Connor Bedard came through and had his best game of the season against the Ducks — one goal, four assists, five shots. Even though the teams meet in Anaheim this time, it’s still plus money since the Ducks allow the fifth-most shots on goal in the NHL at almost 33 per game. I need a win. I’m counting on the Calder Trophy favorite to deliver.
