Blackhawks at Maple Leafs | OddsShark Matchup Report

Opening NHL Odds: Maple Leafs -305 Favorites

The Blackhawks are riding a three-game winning streak and need to keep winning in order to stay in the mix for a Wild Card playoff spot in the Western Conference. They currently trail the Arizona Coyotes by six points for the final spot despite routing them 7-1 as -120 home favorites on Monday, as the OVER also improved to 16-1-1 in their last 18 games. Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs have alternated wins and losses in their previous four games following a 6-2 defeat to the league-leading Tampa Bay Lightning as -115 home favorites on Monday.

Devils at Oilers | OddsShark Matchup Report

Opening NHL Odds: Oilers -235 Favorites

Much like Chicago, Edmonton must keep winning to stay alive for a playoff spot in the West as well. The Oilers are tied with the Blackhawks and have won five of six following a 3-2 overtime win against the New York Rangers as -160 home favorites on Monday. The UNDER has cashed in their last three games and has gone 6-2-1 in their last nine. The Devils are coming off a 9-4 loss to the Calgary Flames on Tuesday, blowing a 4-3 lead in the third period by surrendering six unanswered goals. New Jersey has lost seven in a row now but has managed to split its last six when playing the second game of a back-to-back situation.

Rangers at Canucks | OddsShark Matchup Report

Opening NHL Odds: Canucks -143 Favorites

The Rangers have at least gone down fighting since the NHL All-Star break, as they are on a 1-2-5 run in their last eight games, with two shootout losses during that stretch. The Canucks have actually been worse over their last 10 games, going 2-6-2 to earn less points with the UNDER also going 8-2. The good news for Vancouver is the team plays two beatable opponents to close out its three-game homestand after losing 6-2 to the Vegas Golden Knights as +180 home underdogs on Saturday.
