NHL Best Bets for Wednesday, April 22<\/p>\n
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook<\/a><\/p>\n Philadelphia Flyers (-120) vs. Pittsburgh PenguinsDallas Stars at Minnesota Wild OVER 5.5 (-130)Anaheim Ducks +1.5 (-148) at Edmonton OilersPhiladelphia Flyers (-120) vs. Pittsburgh Penguins<\/p>\n I broke down this best bet in the Penguins vs. Flyers Game 3 betting preview<\/a>:\u00a0<\/p>\n The Flyers scratched out a 3-2 win in Game 1 before putting up a 3-0 victory in Monday night\u2019s Game 2. Philadelphia actually played a better game in the one-goal win, but Dan Vladar stood tall in net for his first shutout with the Flyers, and it couldn\u2019t have come at a better time.<\/p>\n The Flyers appear to be in the Penguins\u2019 heads, with Philadelphia\u2019s youth outplaying Pittsburgh\u2019s experience so far. Even the Flyers\u2019 fourth line of Sean Couturier, Luke Glendening, and Garnet Hathaway is playing better than the Penguins\u2019 future Hall of Famers.<\/p>\n I\u2019m backing Philadelphia at home in what should be a raucous atmosphere on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n Dallas Stars at Minnesota Wild OVER 5.5 (-130)<\/p>\n I explained why I\u2019m taking the OVER tonight in the Stars vs. Wild Game 3 betting preview<\/a>:<\/p>\n There were 13 goals in the first two games of this series, and I don\u2019t see things slowing down just yet. While it should tighten up as we get deeper into the series, Game 3 is typically one that\u2019s still called pretty loosely, so we could see another eight or nine power plays combined as we did in the first two games of the series.<\/p>\n Including the regular season, there have been OVER 5.5 goals in five of the six meetings between these teams this year. That\u2019s the way I\u2019m going tonight.<\/p>\n Anaheim Ducks +1.5 (-148) at Edmonton Oilers<\/p>\n In the Ducks vs. Oilers Game 2 betting preview<\/a>, I explained why I\u2019m going with Anaheim on the puck line as my best bet:<\/p>\n The Oilers needed a furious comeback to avoid overtime and win the game, yet they’re even bigger favorites at -198 than they closed in Game 1 (-178).<\/p>\n I\u2019m tempted to take the Ducks outright at +164, and may split some of my bet on that, but getting Anaheim +1.5 at -148 seems too good to be true.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Ducks are capable of keeping up with the Oilers offensively, and I\u2019d rather take the +1.5 than lay six fewer cents on the OVER 6.5.<\/p>\n Claim the latest DraftKings promo code<\/a> offer today.
