Matt M. Daily Picks:

LOCK: LV vs. FLA: LV +1.5 (-250)

VALUE: ARI vs. SJS: SJS +1.5 (+120)

DEVILS: NJD vs. MTL: NJD +1.5 (-180)

Explanation:

For my LOCK pick, the better team in the Vegas Golden Knights versus a Florida Panthers team who’s coming off a 4-1 loss just last night is a no-brainer. The second night of a back-to-back against another very tough opponent, plus the fact you get a goal and a half certainly qualifies this pick as a lock.

Anthony B. Daily Picks:

LOCK: LAK vs. NYI: NYI (-170)

VALUE: TBL vs. NYR: TBL (-170)

DEVILS: NJD vs. MTL: UNDER 6 GOALS (-105)

Explanation:

For my DEVILS pick, the under looks great. The Devils have scored eight goals through two games since the all-star break. That is a level of scoring that is certainly not sustainable for them. With that in mind, look for a very low scoring affair north of the border this afternoon.

James V. Daily Picks:

LOCK: LV vs. FLA: LV +1.5 (-250)

VALUE: LAK vs. NYI: UNDER 5.5 GOALS (-105)

DEVILS: NJD vs. MTL: NJD +1.5 (-180)

Explanation:

For my VALUE pick, the under in the Kings and Islanders game looks great. In the Islanders last five games, the under has hit. From the Kings perspective, they have only scored more than two goals twice in their last seven games. At (-105) the under actually provides nice value for an over/under bet.
