Free NHL Hockey Pick Today: Total Over 6.5 (-120)

Edmonton and the Ducks have gone over the total in 12 of their last 16 meetings overall, as both teams feature better offense than defense. Edmonton also entered the break going over the total in four of their last five road games overall. At home, the Ducks have also gone over the total in seven of their last nine meetings against Edmonton. Look for a higher scoring game when these two teams meet on the ice.

Bet: take over the total.

Free NHL Hockey Pick Today: Colorado Avalanche -122

Since 2003, NHL conference road favorites under -250 are 3122-2103 (59.8%; +2.8% ROI). Since 2010, NHL road favorites of -120 to -200 are 591-373 (61.3%; +3.1% ROI) from Game 50 out, provided they haven’t played an overtime period in each of their past two games. Colorado entered the 2026 Winter Olympics hiatus off a 4-2 win over the Sharks, which is significant because NHL road favorites of -175 or less arriving off a win are 587-377 (60.9%; +6.7% ROI) when averaging more shots on goal than their opponent. Colorado is averaging 34.1 shots per game, while the Mammoth are averaging just 27.8 shots per game. Both teams are coming off games that finished under the total, and NHL road favorites of -175 or less entering off a win that went under the total are 190-112 (62.9%; +10.1% ROI) with totals of at least six goals versus opponents off a game that went under the total. Finally, since 2003, NHL favorites entering off a win as home favorites in which they allowed fewer than three goals are 1517-876 (63.4%; +2.5% ROI), including 395-218 (64.4%; +1% ROI) since 2020, winning by an average margin of +0.8 goals per game. Take Colorado as Jeff Keim’s Free Pick Winner for Wednesday, February 25.
