The New Jersey Devils have been one of the best teams in the NHL this season, but they’ve surprisingly been better on the road than they have at home. The Devils are 26-6-4 as the visiting team this season. The New York Islanders, meanwhile, have lost two games in a row.

Colorado Avalanche vs. Anaheim Ducks
Odds: Avalanche -1.5 -105 | Avalanche -268, Ducks +208 | O 6.5 -124 / U 6.5 +102
When: Monday, March 27, 2023 at 10:00 pm ET
Where: Honda Center, Anaheim, California
TV / Streaming: ESPN+
The Colorado Avalanche are pretty well back at full health after dealing with injuries for the better part of the season and are looking like a team ready to defend their Stanley Cup . Colorado has won two in a row and is 8-2 in its last 10 games, while the Anaheim Ducks have dropped four consecutive games and are essentially playing out the schedule.
Anaheim beat Colorado 5-3 in the last meeting between the two teams in January, but they meet under different circumstances on Monday night. Colorado is 18-16 against the spread (ATS) on the road this season, while Anaheim is 15-21 ATS at home.
NHL Pick: Take Colorado -1.5 | Bet Avalanche vs. Ducks

Edmonton Oilers vs. Arizona Coyotes
Odds: Oilers -1.5 -140 | Oilers -330, Coyotes +250 | O 7 -114 / U 7 -106
When: Monday, March 27, 2023 at 10:00 pm ET
Where: Mullett Arena, Tempe, Arizona
TV / Streaming: ESPN+
Seven is a high number, but it shouldn’t scare away over bettors. The Edmonton Oilers are the league’s highest-scoring team and should have no trouble finding the back of the net against a Coyotes team that really has nothing left to play for this season. The over is 49-21-3 in Oilers games, including 24-11 on the road.
The Arizona Coyotes, meanwhile, has hit the over in 18 of their 35 home games this season. Edmonton beat Arizona 4-3 last week.
NHL Pick: Go OVER 7 | Bet Oilers vs. Coyotes

Columbus Blue Jackets vs. New York Rangers
Odds: Rangers -1.5 -147 | Blue Jackets +250, Rangers -333 | O 6.5 -105 / U 6.5 +115
When: Tuesday, March 28, 2023 at 7:00 pm ET
Where: Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York
TV / Streaming: ESPN+
The puckline bet looks good once again for the Columbus Blue Jackets and the New York Rangers game on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden. New York’s offense seems to be clicking with Patrick Kane and Vladimir Tarasenko finding ways to contribute. The Rangers have won two in a row and are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games.
Columbus, meanwhile, is essentially playing for the rights to select first overall in the 2023 NHL Draft at this point. They allowed eight goals on Saturday against the Montreal Canadiens and have surrendered 32 goals in their last five games.
NHL Pick: Take Rangers -1.5 | Bet Blue Jackets vs. Rangers

Florida Panthers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
Odds: Panthers -1.5 +180 | Panthers -110, Maple Leafs -110 | O 7.5 +135 / U 7.5 -170
When: Wednesday, March 29, 2023 at 7:30 pm ET
Where: Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
TV / Streaming: ESPN+
The Panthers and Maple Leafs meet for the second time in as many weeks on Wednesday. Toronto beat Florida 6-2 in Florida on March 23. Florida, fighting for a playoff spot, should come into Toronto motivated to get two points.
While this is a tough one to pick a winner, the over should be a relatively safe bet. The over-under is 42-29 in Panthers games this season with two pushes. It has also hit in three of the Maple Leafs last four home games.
NHL Pick: Go OVER | Bet Panthers vs. Maple Leafs
