With the 2017-18 regular season steamrolling towards the second half, let’s get down to business and find some answers while revealing some of the top NHL betting picks of the week.
Can the Toronto Maple Leafs hold it down at home on Wednesday when they host the visiting New York Islanders? Who’s going to bring home the bacon when the Vegas Golden Knights hit the road to take on the Winnipeg Jets in a huge matchup on Thursday night? Last but not least, who’s going to light the lamp more when Sidney Crosby and the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins host Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals on Friday night?
Let’s find out right now, but don’t forget to check the latest NHL odds on a daily basis.
I’m going to get right to the point by saying that, although the Knights have the look of a possible Stanley Cup champion this season, Winnipeg is the pick in this Thursday night throwdown seeing as how they’ve compiled a blistering 17-3-1 mark at home and Vegas has struggled just a bit on the road by going 13-9-2 away from T-Mobile Arena. This one should be a thriller, but the Jets are the pick people!
