What are we even doing anymore? Schaefer was such a beast during that though.

Man – imagine having the over in that one? You’d be rather ticked off.

It’s Saturday, and we have a handful of games. And by handful, I mean an octopuses hands and then some.

Let’s get to it – you know the drill at this point of the season. A lot to pass on but hopefully can find something.

Rangers vs Wings:

Big game for the Wings. Rangers are causing teams problems. Way too risky, and honestly the metrics lean the Rangers way. I’d prefer to be on their side here honestly.

Senators vs Wild:

I thiiiiink the Sens can do it here but odds wise yeah I’d probably place them at that. There might be slight value in them

Stars vs Avs:

Nothing here.

Lightning vs Bruins:

I’d lean Lightning here but not up for taking them in regulation. Boston been playing well, still not fully in the playoffs. Not up for betting against that.

By the advanced metrics purely, it’s a play.

Penguins vs Panthers:

I’d like to back the Pens in regulation here but I don’t feel confident. They have been erratic lately going up against a Panthers team who have discovered their mojo last couple of games.

The over isn’t too bad a play here the only concern is the Panthers offense. Pens have piss-poor GA/60 and xGA/60.

Unfortunately, there’s not enough data to back the over when you look at Panthers performances versus similar teams. My gut says it goes over but I’d like that data to back it up.

Kings vs Leafs:

I’d love to back against the Leafs like I did on Thursday, but I don’t have the faith in the Kings to do the job. Meant to be in the playoff race but just one regulation win in their last nine games. And that includes quite a few weak teams in there.

Devils vs Canadiens:

Habs been on a great run. They’re in the playoffs, I could see them taking the day off after a very long road trip. They deserve it.

Canucks vs Mammoth:

Likely the Mammoth but not taking them in regulation.

Jackets vs Jets:

Wheels have came off the Jackets bus too much to back. Nothing in the metrics to suggest they are worth backing.

Hurricanes vs Islanders:

I would expect the Hurricanes to take the Islanders to clown town today. It’s a tricky one though as the Canes have had such a weird last group of games. They did at least discover their magic against the Jackets.

With the Islanders on a B2B, I think I gotta bet against them here. Yes Islanders have a lot to play for here – but that sort of thing can bring out desperation which we’ve seen with the Islanders, and I’ve been able to back an over or two based on that.

Canes -1.5

Capitals vs Sabres:

Neither team really one I am up for backing right now.

Oilers vs Knights:

Same here.

Ducks vs Flames:

Ducks just too erratic for me.

Sharks vs Predators:

Big game for both teams. Sharks got a nice run going. Preds beat them 6-3 in Nashville on the 24th so they have revenge on their minds.

Preds struggling since that game. Bookies have it close to a flip with Sharks just slightly favoured which is how I would price it. Looking at the metrics – it’s just too iffy for me to back San Jose. Their goaltending record just worries me.

Kraken vs Blackhawks:

I mean probably the Kraken but I have no interest in backing them in regulation.

14 freaking games today.

I am just going to buzz through these. A real at-a-glance type deal. If I see anything that jumps out I’ll dive through them in more detail but the end/beginning of the month is my busiest time with work, and I am swamped today.

Plus we’re definitely entering that “almost no tips” zone of the regular season.

Panthers vs Bruins

Pretty meaningless. With Panthers rediscovering their mojo I’d be wary of them.

Senators vs Sabres

Sens really need the win here. However it’se a very tricky Buffalo team. Been decent at home but the odds seem about right to me.

Hurricanes vs Jackets:

Just played. I don’t do reruns.

Flyers vs Wings:

Also recently played.

Rangers vs Canadiens:

Odds seem on the money.

Lightning vs Penguins:

Definite lean on the over but the Tampa offense seem to be slowing down a tad.

Devils vs Capitals:

I mean obviously the Caps need to win but all the power in the world to you if you can back them in this tricky spot.

Wild vs Canucks:

I don’t do -2.5 lol. Especially with a team with the form of the Wild.

Stars vs Jets:

I mean if Winnipeg still believe they can make the playoffs – not a bad bet here. Stars have been pretty trash lately. Winnipeg have their issues but got a few wins together.

By the metrics it’s actually a play. Just all about that belief – that Blackhawks result was so concerning.

I think that yeah – at the price, for a team almost in the wild card spot, we gotta take it. It’s on them if they don’t do it as they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs if they lose spots like that. Stars banged up too.

The more I analyzed this one, the more I couldn’t pull the trigger. I like it but just not enough.

Oilers vs Blackhawks:

Oilers likely cover the -1.5. Not enough metrics go in that direction – although it’s close. eally that Oilers GF/60 is what is putting me off.

Knights vs Flames:

Knights probably do it but not a handicap I am loving.

Sharks vs Leafs:

Sharks on a little run just now. They have that little winning confidence about them with the late goals.

It’s really the same as the Jets isn’t it? Critical games against teams whose seasons are over. This one is more appealing due to the Sharks being at home too. I’m almost tempted to reach for the in regulation.

Kraken vs Mammoth

Kraken are done for the season. Mammoth aren’t backable.

Kings vs Predators:

Big game but not anything that I see worth betting.

Only 3 today.  It’s another day where I don’t have any time to recap yesterday’s action.  I’m sorry about this folks but I have to work soon and I’m to new to be late.

Canucks vs Avalanche

There really is only one play we have here.  Its last place playing first place and first place is at home.

Canucks have lost 6 in a row and are 2-8 in last 10.  The Avalanche are 6-3-1 in last 10 and 24-7-5 at home.

Obviously I like the Avalanche and their chances to win this game but it would have to be -2.5 so it’s a pass.

Blues vs Kings

The Blues are in 13th and have 4 points to gain.  They also need the teams in front of them to lose.  Not liking their chances to make it to the postseason this year.

The Kings are only 1 point out and but have gone 3-3-4 in the last 10.  I think they should win this game but their home record has been bad going 10-17-8 so they aren’t a team I like in this spot.

Ducks vs Sharks

The Ducks are still in 1st in the Pacific but the Oilers are close to catching them.  They have lost 2 in a row so they’ll need to get back on track and fast.

The Sharks are only 2 points back of the wild card spot.  They have won 2 in a row and are on a 3 game point streak.  I would love to see them make the playoffs as they are a young and skilled team who I think could do some damage.

They have played twice this season with each team winning once.  Both games were decided by a single goal and one of them was in overtime.  This could go either way.

The post April 1st, 2026 NHL Betting Tips   appeared first on BetNHL.ca - NHL Betting Guide & Tips, Bet on the NHL.

The Pens were down 3-1 but went on to score the next 7 and won 8-3 and with the win passed the Isles to move into 2nd.  Gudas dressed for the Ducks when they played the Leafs, who just fired their GM Treliving, fought Domi to start the game and the Leafs won 5-4 in OT.

Celebrini became the 6th teenager to reach 100 points in a season and his Sharks beat the Blues 5-4.  Tortorella made his debut as coach of the Knights and they beat the Canucks 4-2.

10 for us tonight.  With the playoffs coming up fast it’s tougher to find games to tip.

Devils vs Rangers

Devils just beat the Hawks and haven’t yet been eliminated.  They are in 13th in the East and are 10 points back.

The Rangers have won 2 in a row but it’s all for nothing as they have been eliminated already.

I’m passing.

Islanders vs Sabres

The Isles played yesterday.  They had a 2 goal lead and lost 8-3.  What the actual fuck?

The Sabres are in 2nd in the Atlantic now.  With both teams not yet clinched this should be a good game.

I would lean towards the Sabres but I’m instead passing as the Isles have to be embarrassed after that shitshow from last night and must have a better effort here.

Stars vs Bruins

Stars have clinched a spot.  They are behind the Avalanche and ahead of the Wild.

The Bruins are on a 3 game streak and are in 7th in the East.  They are only 2 points back of the Canadiens but have played one extra game than they have.

The Bruins have more to play for here than the Stars do so I do expect a good game from them.

Wings vs Penguins

Big game here for both teams.

The Wings are in 10th but only 2 points back of the wild card.  Haven’t been great over last 10 games but can still salvage their season.

The Penguins played yesterday and went off for 8 goals.

Both teams need these points.  They shouldn’t leave anything back which makes it tough to call.

Canadiens vs Lightning

The Habs are on fire at the moment winning their last 5 games.  They are in 3rd in the Atlantic and have a 2 point lead over the Bruins.  They are 4 points back of these Lightning who are in 1st.

This should be a great game and one that will go a long way towards deciding who will win the division.

Flyers vs Capitals

11th ane 12th in the East here.  Both teams are close and within 3 points for the Flyers and 5 for the Caps.

Could go either way.

Senators vs Panthers

The Sens aren’t helping themselves right now.  They have lost 2 games in a row and are sitting in 9th place in the East.  They are only 2 points back of the Jackets who are in 8th.

The Panthers are in 15th in the East.  They haven’t yet been eliminated but they have so much ground to make up that its basically over for them.  They have lost their last 3 games so I’m avoiding them.

I would think the Sens win this but it would have to be in regulation and with them on a 2 game skid I’m passing.

Hurricanes vs Jackets

Canes are in 1st in the Metro and tied with the Lightning for 1st overall in the Eastern Conference.  They have an 8 point lead over the 2nd place Penguins.

Jackets on a 3 game losing skid.  They are in the final wild card spot but have only a 2 point lead over the Senators.

These teams playing each other again on Thursday.

Jets vs Blackhawks

The Jets still have a chance and if they are to make the playoffs then they for sure will need to beat the Blackhawks here.

Hawks have been eliminated so nothing to say there.  On a 3 game skid.

Jets are 5-3-2 in last 10 and looking ahead their schedule is pretty tough with the Stars and Jackets up next.  They have to win this game.

They last played in January and the Jets won that one 3-2 in OT.  Despite that I still think the Jets will be ready and will compete until they are eliminated.  Better in the expected categories too like CF, CA, SF, GF and XGF.

Jets win in regulation

(Odds correct as of 2026/03/31 6:37:51 AM EST but are subject to change.)

Kraken vs Oilers

The Kraken really need to win this game as they are starting to fall out of the picture.  They are 3-5-2 in last 10 and are in 10th in the West 2 points back of the Preds.

The Oilers are in 2nd in the Pacific and right in the mix with the Ducks in front and the Knights behind them.

Should be a battle here.  The Kraken still have a shot and with them playing the Knights twice before the season ends this could be a preview of a playoff matchup.
