NHL Best Bets for Thursday, April 16<\/p>\n
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n Anaheim Ducks (-115) at Nashville PredatorsLos Angeles Kings (-142) at Calgary FlamesVancouver Canucks +1.5 (+105) at Edmonton OilersAnaheim Ducks (-115) at Nashville Predators<\/p>\n The Ducks are looking to right the ship ahead of the playoffs. They\u2019ve lost eight of their last nine games, and could fall to the second wild card spot in the West with a loss tonight.<\/p>\n The Predators are eliminated from playoff contention, so while they\u2019ve been playing better recently, the desperation factor goes to Anaheim tonight.<\/p>\n I have to back a desperate Ducks team at a cheap -115 price tonight.<\/p>\n Los Angeles Kings (-142) at Calgary Flames<\/p>\n The Kings will need some help tonight to move up from the second wild card spot, but they also need to get a few points themselves.<\/p>\n Los Angeles is currently riding an eight-game point streak, going 6-0-2 in that span.<\/p>\n The Kings are looking to enter the playoffs on a high note, while the Flames have faded at the end of the season. Calgary has lost four of its last five games and six of its last eight.<\/p>\n Los Angeles should be able to take care of business tonight in Calgary.<\/p>\n Vancouver Canucks +1.5 (+105) at Edmonton Oilers<\/p>\n The Canucks have enjoyed playing spoiler in the last week. They\u2019ve gone to overtime and won in their last three against the Sharks, Ducks, and Kings.<\/p>\n The Oilers need just one point tonight to secure the second spot in the Pacific Division, and they\u2019ve lost four of their last five games.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll take the Canucks on the +1.5 puck line at plus odds tonight.<\/p>\n Register with DraftKings today and get $300 in bonus bets if your first $5 bet wins.<\/a> Claim this DraftKings Sportsbook promo code<\/a> offer by making a $5 deposit and making your first $5 wager.<\/p>\n Odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.<\/p>\n If you or someone you know has a gambling problem and wants help, call 1-800-GAMBLER.<\/p>\n
