NHL Picks Tonight: Best Hockey Bets & Player Props
Carolina Hurricanes Moneyline vs. Capitals : (-125, BetMGM)
With the best hold percentage of any moneyline bet on the night, the Hurricanes make for a great value in a nice matchup with the homestanding Capitals. The Hurricanes have arguably been the most dominant team in the Eastern Conference all year, with the best goal differential and the top seed from wire to wire. They are without power-play quarterback Tony DeAngelo for a few more weeks, but as with most good teams, they have the depth defensively to recover (6-2-2 over last 10). The Hurricanes have been elite on the penalty kill, pacing the league at 89.2%, which should help keep Alex Ovechkin somewhat in check here. If the game stays penalty free, it bodes even better for the Hurricanes odds, as they carry an expected goals for per 60 more than half a goal better than Washington at five-on-five.
This bet brings together everything, including a great return. The Hurricanes are one of the most complete teams in the league and are facing a competent Capitals team, but Washington is still struggling to hang on to the No. 8 seed in the East.

Zach Hyman Over 2.5 Shots on Goal vs. Chicago (-130, Caesars)
With a shot total of 3.3 in the NHL projections today, there is plenty of reason to bet Zach Hyman facing the Blackhawks. Hyman has the fortunate role of skating with the league’s best player with a promotion to the team’s top power play with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins on the shelf. Comparing Hyman’s odds to those above him better expected win percentages, none have his favorable odds line. The next closest player with similar odds to Hyman carries a win percentage 4 points less at 62%. With the lofty projection, matchup and opportunity, Hyman looks primed to cash in on an attainable shot number.
