Jets vs Blues NHL Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Winnipeg Jets roll into St. Louis with the Connor Hellebuyck saga hanging over the locker room, and his suspension ending Friday only adds to the noise. Stuart Skinner has held the fort, but backup Clay Stevenson has struggled badly, and the Jets are coming off a home loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.

The St. Louis Blues return home to open a five-game homestand and have been reliable in this role, winning seven of their last nine games as home favorites. Their top-10 penalty kill also matches up well against a Winnipeg power play that has carried its offense. I'll take the home team while the Jets' off-ice distraction peaks.

The Bet: Blues (3%). 

Mike has recorded NBA profits 5 of the last 6 seasons, and he was #2 on the NBA leaderboards at Picks & Parlays last season! Tuesday, Mike tips off the season with an BBA 3-Pack, and a 4% NHL TOP PLAY putting an 8-1 run to the test!

Basic stats ahead of tonight's game: The Wild (6-2-1) average 3.11 goals per game (16th in the NHL) & allow 2.33 goals per game (5th in the NHL). The Oilers (6-1-1) average 4.63 goals per game (1st in the NHL) & allow 3.00 goals per game (14th in the NHL).

Pick: The Oilers have the best offense in the NHL and have looked great in recent games as well. They look to build off a game where they scored six goals and make this game a high-scoring one from the opening puck drop.

FREE PICK on Dallas Stars (ML) | Good until -186.

Dallas began the season rather pedestrian. Over it's L2 games now, the Stars have looked like a different team. There's definitely the possibility of one of the powerhouses in the Central Division of making the Wildcard instead of an auto-bid. It could be Dallas. But, the Stars are a great home team and shouldn't let Boston boss them around. The Bruins are still a very young and inexperienced team outside of Lindholm & Pastrnak. Go with the Stars.

These are two of the top teams in the West, each with 13 points already. The Wild are 6-2-1. The Oilers are 6-1-1. While the Wild are 4-0 at home, they're just 2-2-1 away from Minnesota. A road game at Edmonton is likely going to be tough for them. The Oilers are averaging 4.62 goals per game, most in the NHL. The Wild are averaging 3.11. On the road, that number drops to 2.6 goals per game. Having been swept by the Wild last season, I suspect we'll see the best of the Oilers Tuesday. Given how well they've been playing, the price is fair. Play Edmonton
