NHL Odds, Predictions For March 3

We continue to just print profits here on the NHL Playbook with another positive day yesterday, which puts us up over 10 units this week with our huge Tuesday. I told you guys yesterday that the Senators were way undervalued at +145, which was insulting. This is a team that can make the playoffs, don't sleep on them. We cashed with the Sens, but unfortunately lost on Wild -1.5. I just am not willing to take these large moneylines, but if you have been instead of taking the puck line, you are building a castle.

BetQL and I will have you covered for the second half of the season, and you had better believe that we are going to sniff out some value every single one of those days!

Kraken at Blue Jackets Prediction

I've made a lot of money backing the Blue Jackets recently, as they almost always come with large plus money because they are so bad. Today, the Seattle Kraken are in town to take on Columbus in the great state of Ohio. As mentioned previously, the Blue Jackets are one of the worst teams in hockey, and now without their top goaltender in Korpisalo. They are scoring just 2.51 goals per game and allowing a whopping 3.66, while also getting outshot by their opponents 35.0 to 29.3 on average. This is a terrible club that is now that much worse.

Seattle has thrown away the old "sophomore slump" narrative and broken out as one of the better teams in the NHL this season. Maybe no one expected them to be this good, but they have proved them all wrong, yet somehow are still undervalued all the time in my opinion. The Kraken are scoring 3.49 goals per game and allowing 3.16, while also outshooting their opponents 30.0 to 27.9. They have one of the better defenses in the league this season.

MY PICK: Kraken -1.5 (+150, DraftKings). While I like to back bad teams like the Blue Jackets when the situation presents itself as advantageous, this is not one of those times. In fact, I think this price is a bit ridiculous. Seattle is far and away better than Columbus, and now the Blue Jackets are forced to start Elvis Merzlikins in net, who has the NHL worst GAA. I'll take a shot with the Kraken to lay the hammer down at big plus money.

Jets at Oilers Prediction

We move from Columbus up to Edmonton, where the Oilers will be looking to defend their home ice against the visiting Winnipeg Jets. I have talked about it most of the year, and I will continue to advocate for the fade of the Jets when they face good competition. It is of my opinion that they are one of the more overrated teams in the league, and that has shown recently, as they have lost four straight games. The Jets are scoring 3.05 goals per game and allowing 2.69, but are getting outshot by their opponents on average 31.0 to 30.0.

The Oilers have the best player since Gretzky to lace 'em up in Connor McDavid, and this may finally be the year they can make a run. Edmonton is scoring a massive 3.82 goals per game and allowing 3.26, while also outshooting their opponents 33.5 to 31.6 on average. This is a solid team, and a great team on offense, and I think probably the best Oilers team that McDavid has been a part of so far.

MY PICK: Oilers -1.5 (+155, DraftKings). Another game where I think we see a team dominate, and another game where we can get large plus money for betting that to happen. The Jets have a negative shot differential, and are reeling right now. Edmonton is at home and coming off a nice win over Toronto, while also having the better team. I'll take a shot here at +155.
