NHL Preview & Picks – January 8th, 2022

296

I want to start off by saying thank you to everyone who listened to my new Podcast, Expected Bets For. If you haven’t given it a listen yet, be sure to check it out here.

We went 2-2 in the first episode but have a few guests lined up for the next episode that will offer even more insight in the NHL market.

Now, let’s look at tonight’s slate.

 

New Jersey Devils @ Columbus Blue Jackets

These two teams played two days ago and will face off again tonight. Mostly everyone was on the Over 6.5 and the final score ended up being 3-1. The total again is listed at 6.5 and based on all the statistics in the last game, I think this game goes over. Columbus averages almost a goal more at home while New Jersey averages 4.0 Goals Against Away compared to 2.84 at home.

Pick:

  • NJD/ CBJ OVER 6.5 (-120)*

 

Chicago Blackhawks @ Vegas Golden Knights

Chicago has been struggling as of late dropping their last 6 games. Marc-Andre Fleury will face off against his former team who looks to be a Stanley Cup contender. Fleury hasn’t been great lately allowing 5-4-3-4 goals in his last four starts. The Vegas Golden Knights offense is significantly better than Chicago’s defense. Chicago’s offense doesn’t rank great in terms of Goals For but, has been better in their last two and should be able to generate a few chances in this matchup.

Pick:

  • CHI/ VGS OVER 6.0 (-105)*
