| NHL | (39) St. Louis Blues at (40) New Jersey Devils | 7:07pm EST - Nov 26/2025 |
The PLAY: Total Over 5.5 (-112)
This is a FREE PLAY on the OVER Blues/Devils.
As being primarily a situational capper, for the most part, I base my Over/Under picks, in every sport, on what I perceive to be really great "situations."
And that's the case here on Wednesday between the Blues and the Devils.
St. Louis enters just 7-10-6 overall, including 4-5-2 on the road, while New Jersey is 14-7-1, including 8-0-1 at home.
The Blues are just 1-4 in their last five, and all five of those games have gone UNDER the number. While it's a trend that dates back to last season, I still think it's pertinent to note that St. Louis has seen the total fly OVER the number in five of its last six after playing to five or more straight UNDERs in a row.
The Devils went 1-3 on their most recent road trip, and then returned home to post the 4-3 win over Detroit last time out.
Overall, New Jersey is averaging 3.0 goals per game, while allowing 3.0 goals per game, both of which rank 19th.
The Blues, on the other hand, are averaging just 2.7 goals per game, which ranks 28th, while conceding 3.6, which ranks 29th.
Jordan Binnington is expected in the net for the Blues, and he's 5-5-4 with a 3.13 goals against, while Jacob Markstrom is expected to get the call in net for the Devils, and he's 6-3-1 with a 3.74 GAA.
Neither goaltender has been great. Each has struggled with consistency. With the home side pushing the tempo, I look for this total to fly well OVER the number before the final horn sounds.
Good luck, NP

| NHL | (27) Dallas Stars at (28) Edmonton Oilers | 9:07pm EST - Nov 25/2025 |
The PLAY: Edmonton Oilers -140
This is a FREE PLAY on the Edmonton Oilers.
I think the Oilers are well worth the price of admission on Tuesday night.
Dallas is 13-5-4 overall, including 7-1-3 on the road, while Edmonton is 10-9-5 overall, and 5-1-2 at home.
This is the third game of a four-game road trip for Dallas, winning 4-2 at Vancouver, and then falling 3-2 in a shootout at Calgary most recently.
With a game at Seattle on Wednesday, there's a very real chance that Dallas could be caught looking ahead here.
Edmonton is finally returning home after a difficult seven-game road trip in which it went 3-4.
But the Oilers were firing on all cylinders in their rematch against the Panthers in their final game, winning 6-3, and now I think that Connor McDavid and company will carry that momentum over here.
The Oilers play with the added incentive of "revenge" here as well after losing 4-3 in a shootout at Dallas back on November 4th.
Situationally, as I say, this one definitely sets up well for the home side in my opinion.
Edmonton has the early advantage offensively this year, ranked fourth in the league, while Dallas has the advantage on the defensive end, ranked eighth.
Admittedly, Dallas has been highly successful as the visitor this year, but Edmonton comes in with revenge on its mind, and needing to still make up a lot of ground again here at the start of the season after a shaky start.
So I say all of those factors combine to tip the scales in favor of the Oilers here overwhelmingly and that makes this a price worth paying in what should be a comfortable win.
Consider the OILERS on Tuesday night.
Good luck, NP
