Wild at Panthers | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Panthers -152 Favorites
The Wild bring a season-high three-game winning streak into Florida for the opener of a three-game road trip against the Panthers. Minnesota has outscored its opponents by a 13-6 margin during that stretch, with the last two games coming at home. The Wild are just 5-10-2 this season on the road though. Florida ended a three-game skid with a 3-0 win over Nashville on Saturday as a -120 home favorite to open a season-high nine game homestand.
Golden Knights at Devils | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Golden Knights -140 Favorites
The Golden Knights and Devils will both be playing on back-to-back nights after experiencing much different results on Monday. Vegas routed the New York Rangers 4-1 as a -135 road favorite to run its winning streak to three in a row with backup goaltender Malcolm Subban still starting in net. New Jersey fell 7-1 at Buffalo as a +105 road underdog to lose for the third time in four games. The Golden Knights have won three of the last four times they have played the second game of a back-to-back, and so have the Devils in that same situation.
Maple Leafs at Flyers | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Maple Leafs -116 Favorites
The Flyers are hoping to extend their winning streak to a season-high five games when they host the Maple Leafs. Philadelphia has won four straight games for the second time this year following a 4-3 victory at Montreal as a +110 road underdog on Saturday. Toronto is also playing very well, winning four of their last five games since firing head coach Mike Babcock.
Islanders at Canadiens | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Canadiens -120 Favorites
The Canadiens will be trying to end a season-high eight-game losing streak when they host the Islanders. Montreal has been outscored by two goals or more in three of its last four losses, with the OVER cashing in four of five and seven of nine. New York has won two in a row since a season-high three-game skid, and the UNDER is on a 5-0 run in its last five.
Hurricanes at Bruins | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Bruins -150 Favorites
A rematch of the 2019 Eastern Conference Final will take place in Boston when the Bruins host the Hurricanes. Carolina will be visiting TD Garden for the first time since May 12, when the team lost 6-2 in Game 2 of that series as a +140 road underdog en route to getting swept. Boston has also won the past five meetings and nine of the previous 10 including the playoffs.
Lightning at Predators | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Predators -113 Favorites
The Predators will open a three-game homestand against the Lightning off a 3-0 loss to the Panthers as +100 road underdogs on Saturday. Nashville has been a slightly better team at home this season at 7-5-3, but six of the eight losses have happened in the team’s last seven games there. Tampa Bay has dropped a season-high three games in a row following a 3-2 loss to Carolina on Saturday as a -145 home favorite with a 4-0 OVER run also ending.
Stars at Jets | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Jets -110 Favorites
The Stars will continue their streaky campaign and try to halt a three-game losing skid when they visit the Jets. Dallas had won a season-high seven games in a row before its current skid, which has seen the team outscored 9-3 with the UNDER going 2-0-1 during that stretch. Winnipeg wrapped up a three-game road trip through California with a 2-1 loss at Los Angeles on Saturday as a +100 underdog, but the UNDER cashed again to extend its run to three.
Capitals at Sharks | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Capitals -115 Favorites
The Sharks are playing some of their best hockey as they host the Capitals. San Jose has won two straight games, five of six and 11 of 13 following a 4-2 road victory at Arizona on Saturday as a +105 road underdog. Washington continues a four-game road trip here after beating Detroit 5-2 on Saturday in the opener as a -225 favorite.
