NHL Tuesday best bets & top value picks – March 29, 2022

There are nine National Hockey League (NHL) games scheduled this Tuesday from 7pm EST. Here’s where you should place your bets on the March 29 matchups.

Philadelphia Flyers (+220) @ Minnesota Wild (-275)

The Wild are on a six-game winning streak with the last two coming in overtime against Columbus and Colorado. Minnesota is 8-1-1 over its last 10 games, allowing just 2.2 goals per game with a .922 save percentage. Cam Talbot was named the NHL’s First Star of the Week after a 40-save win over the Western Conference leaders from Colorado.

Philadelphia is 3-6-1 in its last 10, allowing 3.5 goals per game with an .899 save percentage. Regardless of who starts in goal for Minnesota, the Wild will have the advantage in net, which is a big problem for Philadelphia. The Wild score more than one more goal per game on average than the Flyers and have a considerable advantage on special teams.

The Wild’s biggest advantage might be playing in Minnesota, where the enthusiasm for this retooled team had one fan throwing Marc-Andre Fleury a bouquet of flowers after winning his Wild debut against Columbus. Expect that fan enthusiasm to extend the Wild’s six-game winning streak, the team’s third such streak this season. They are the only team to have three winning streaks of that length.

Take Minnesota on the moneyline, and parlay the Wild with…

Ottawa Senators (+185) @ Nashville Predators (-230)

Nashville is 20-11-0 at home, and Ottawa is 11-17-3 on the road. The Predators have been especially explosive over their last 10 games, scoring 4.1 goals per game. That’s considerably better than their season average of 3.26 goals per game. Ottawa averages just 2.6 goals scored per game.

While Nashville has taken a ton of penalties this season (819 penalty minutes accessed), Ottawa only scores on 18.5 percent of power plays. Both teams kill penalties at almost an 80-percent clip, but the Predators score on the power play almost a quarter of the time.

Expect Nashville to ride the home crowd and hot offense to a win the Predators need to put distance between them and the Blues in the Central Division Standings. Consider taking the Predators to win by two or more at +105, and enjoy -105 parlay odds when taking Nashville and Minnesota to win on the moneyline. You can get even better odds by making your moneyline parlay a trifecta including…

Dallas Stars (-165) @ Anaheim Ducks (+145)

Anaheim has lost three straight at home and nine consecutive overall. Dallas is basically a .500 team on the road (15-16-2). The Ducks have struggled to a 1-7-2 record over their last 10 games, averaging just two goals scored per game while allowing 3.7 goals per game.

Anaheim’s Anthony Stolarz and Josh Mahura are listed as day-to-day with illnesses, while Dallas will be at full strength. The Stars have the offensive and defensive advantages, while Anaheim has a slight special teams advantage. But Dallas stays out of the penalty box (465 penalty minutes accessed this season), while Anaheim struggles to stay at even strength (661 penalty minutes).

Dallas needs to win to keep pace with Vegas, which holds a one-point lead for the final Wild Card spot in the West (albeit having played four more games than Dallas). Take Dallas on the moneyline and enjoy odds of +214 when parlaying them with Minnesota and Nashville. Also consider taking Dallas to win by two or more after putting up just one goal at home against Vancouver.
