The National Hockey League is moving right along. In the middle of February, the postseason picture starts really figuring itself out. As March rolls along, there are several teams fighting for positioning.
There are some great games on tap for this week on ice. Let’s take a look at the Top NHL Betting Games of the Week.
Top NHL Betting Games Of The Week (Feb. 13th – 16th)
Columbus Blue Jackets -125 Over New York Rangers
The Columbus Blue Jackets are a really good hockey team and they have the third best record in all of the National Hockey League. The Blue Jackets have 75 points, which is only behind Washington in the East. The Rangers have 73 points, so this game features two of the top teams in the league. This should be a fun game, but the difference maker is the red hot Sergei Bobrovsky. He is expected in between the pipes and is seeking his 31st win of the season. He is allowing just 2.17 goals per game. Look for the Blue Jackets to get the job done in this game on Monday.
Minnesota Wild -145 Over Anaheim Ducks
On Tuesday, two really good Western Conference teams face off in Minneapolis. The Minnesota Wild have the most points in all of the West. The Wild have played 55 games, and scored 80 points. For the Ducks, they are 9th overall, with 68 points. Out of the West, the Ducks are fourth. Minnesota is quite impressive at home, and Devyn Dubnyk has morphed into one of the top goaltenders in the league. Look for Dubnyk to shine in this game against an Anaheim team that gets stuck in the mud offensively at times. Take the Minnesota Wild -145 over the Ducks.
St. Louis Blues -130 Over Detroit Red Wings
The St. Louis Blues are red hot right now. Mike Yeo has won five out of six games as the head coach of the Blues. The Blues are looking to wrap up a perfect road trip, and their fifth straight game. The Blues are the defending Western Conference runner up a season ago, falling to the Sharks in the Western Conference Finals. Look for the Blues to get after the Detroit defense early and often. Vladimir Tarasenko is one of the top goal scorers in all of the league. The Blues are going to win this game in Detroit easily on Wednesday.
Los Angeles Kings -140 Over Arizona Coyotes
The Los Angeles Kings need wins to make their way into the postseason mix, and the Arizona Coyotes are just not very good. The Kings are 8th in the Western Conference, just a single game ahead of the Calgary Flames. The Kings have the roster that can win postseason games, so the rest of the playoff teams in the West are hoping they fail to reach. The Coyotes have just 43 points, which is only ahead of Colorado. The Kings are going to win this game easily on the road Thursday.
There you have it. Those are our best NHL bets for this week. Best of luck, and enjoy the games on the ice!
