The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/depth-chart/pittsburgh-penguins-depth-chart">Pittsburgh Penguins</a> host the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/depth-chart/los-angeles-kings-depth-chart">Los Angeles Kings</a> at PPG Paints Arena, looking to capitalize on their home-ice advantage. Despite dropping two of their last three games, the Penguins’ metrics indicate they are due for progression. Pittsburgh has outperformed their opponents in three consecutive contests, showing strong puck possession and offensive pressure. These numbers suggest wins are on the horizon for the Pens.
On the other hand, the Kings have found unsustainable success recently. LA has been outplayed in five of their last seven games yet managed to notch wins in all but one. This imbalance highlights inevitable regression for the Kings, especially against a Penguins team with a distinct analytics edge.
At +116, Pittsburgh presents solid value as home underdogs. Expect a determined effort from the Penguins to hand the Kings a tough road loss and turn their metrics into meaningful results.
Best Bet: Penguins Moneyline (+116)

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/depth-chart/buffalo-sabres-depth-chart">Buffalo Sabres</a> and <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/depth-chart/montreal-canadiens-depth-chart">Montreal Canadiens</a> face off in what could turn into a goal-scoring frenzy. Montreal’s goaltenders have struggled mightily in recent games, conceding 19 goals over their last four contests. Defensive breakdowns have led to a surge in five-on-five goals against, exposing Montreal’s inability to protect their net.
Meanwhile, the Sabres have been generating plenty of offensive chances, with 10 or more high-danger opportunities in five of their last six games. Buffalo’s attack is heating up at the perfect time to exploit Montreal’s struggling defense.
Both teams’ recent play points to a high-scoring contest, and Over 6.5 goals at +110 provides excellent value. Expect an open game with plenty of scoring chances at both ends of the ice.
Best Bet: Over 6.5 Goals (+110)

The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/depth-chart/boston-bruins-depth-chart">Boston Bruins</a> travel to Alberta to take on the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nhl/depth-chart/calgary-flames-depth-chart">Calgary Flames</a> in an inter-conference showdown. While Calgary’s surprising start has turned them into playoff hopefuls, their recent analytics paint a different picture. The Flames have been outplayed in back-to-back games, with game scores below 38.6%, signaling a decline in their form.
The Bruins, on the other hand, are trending in the opposite direction. Boston has been dominant analytically, delivering strong metrics in five straight games. Their ability to control play and generate quality scoring chances gives them a decisive advantage heading into this matchup.
At -130, Boston represents a smart moneyline bet. The Flames’ inflated success is bound to regress, and this is a prime opportunity for the Bruins to claim a key road win.
Best Bet: Bruins Moneyline (-130)
