This week, the NHL schedule features several games involving teams that could end up lifting the Stanley Cup. In those games, there are plenty of chances for hockey bettors to take advantage of value in the betting markets. Here, we look at the top-three NHL betting opportunities that bettors can take advantage of during a huge week of action in the National Hockey League.
Top NFL Betting Opportunities for Week 31 | 3 Hockey Games to Win Big
Bruins vs. Flames
When: Tuesday, February 28th
Where: Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary, CAN
Time: 9:00 PM EST
TV: ESPN+
Our first NHL betting opportunity worth pursuing will come in Calgary, where the Boston Bruins will pay a visit to the Calgary Flames. The Bruins have been by far the best team in the NHL so far this year, as they are the only team in the league over 90 points on the season. But they will be on the second leg of a back-to-back here, which could make things tougher on them than usual in Calgary.
The Flames also have a ton to play for going into this game, as they enter this contest just one spot out of the final Wild Card place in the Western Conference. They are running out of time to make up ground on the Jets and Kraken in the Wild Card places. As a result, it could be worth betting on the Flames to get the job done in this contest, even if they are facing the best team in the league.
Maple Leafs vs. Flames
When: Thursday, March 2nd
Where: Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary, CAN
Time: 9:00 PM EST
TV: ESPN+
Another game in Calgary is the subject of our second NHL betting opportunity, as the Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Calgary Flames. Toronto is also on the second leg of a back-to-back on Thursday, as the Leafs take on the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night. Playing against multiple teams on back-to-backs this week could be just what the Flames need to help their playoff hopes.
Toronto has also had their share of struggles on the road, as they enter this week barely above .500 away from their home rink. The Leafs are 14-9-4 away from home, and their mediocrity on the road could also be hugely beneficial to the Flames. It could also be beneficial to bettors who back the Flames in either of these two key games this week.
Avalanche vs. Stars
When: Saturday, March 4th
Where: American Airlines Center, Dallas, TEX
Time: 3:30 PM EST
TV: ABC, ESPN+
The final NHL betting opportunity we are spotlighting here is a possible Western Conference Finals preview in Dallas. The Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars will face off at American Airlines Center, in a game that could help determine the Central Division title. These teams come into this week separated by just three points in the Central standings, and the winner of this game could very well claim it when all is said and done.
The Avs come into this week red-hot, having won five games in a row as the week begins. If they can continue their winning ways against the Stars, they could narrow the gap in the division race. More importantly, they can make a statement as the postseason continues to draw closer in the Western Conference.
