Flames vs Senators | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Flames -161 Favorites
Calgary will try win consecutive games for the first time since February 11 to close out a three-game road set at Ottawa on Monday. The Flames routed the Senators 6-3 as -150 favorites in the second game of the series on Saturday after losing the opener 6-1 as -150 chalk on Thursday, with the OVER cashing both times. Ottawa saw its three-game winning streak end with a loss in the latest meeting, but the OVER continued on a 3-0 run. The Senators have still won two of the past three meetings though since suffering through a four-game series skid.
Hurricanes vs Panthers | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Hurricanes -120 Favorites
Carolina will go for the two-game road sweep of Florida before closing out a five-game road trip at Nashville on Tuesday. The Hurricanes edged the Panthers 4-3 in a shootout as -125 road favorites on Saturday to end a season-high three-game losing streak that saw them lose all three to the defending Stanley Cup champion Lightning. Florida has not dropped two straight games all season, alternating losses and wins in its last six, with the UNDER on a 4-1 run in its previous five. But the Panthers have lost six of the past eight meetings with the Hurricanes.
Canucks vs Jets | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Jets -125 Favorites
Vancouver hopes to end a four-game losing streak in the first of two games at Winnipeg. The Canucks are really struggling again, dropping 11 of 13 in addition to their current four-game skid. Two of their recent losses came against the Jets, who beat them by a combined score of 6-3 as road underdogs on February 19 and 21. Winnipeg has gone 8-3-1 at home so far this year and rides a season-high four-game winning streak overall into this meeting, cashing as an underdog each time during that stretch. The Jets have also won 12 of 13 over the Canucks.
Blues vs Ducks | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Blues -145 Favorites
St. Louis continues a six-game road trip with the first of two at Anaheim. The Blues are coming off a 7-6 victory against the Sharks as -170 road favorites on Saturday, with the OVER cashing for the first time in their last three games and the second in six. The Ducks will be trying to halt a season-high six-game skid following a 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights as +180 home underdogs on Saturday. Anaheim has also lost four in a row to St. Louis and six of seven.
Maple Leafs vs Oilers | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Maple Leafs -120 Favorites
Edmonton looks to bounce back from a rough loss to Toronto in the second of three straight home meetings between the top two teams in the North Division. The Oilers fell 4-0 as -115 favorites to the Maple Leafs on Saturday, with the UNDER cashing for just the second time in five meetings this season. Edmonton had won its previous five games overall, allowing as many as three goals only once during that winning streak. Toronto played without top goal scorer Auston Matthews (wrist), but goalie Jack Campbell made 30 saves for his third NHL shutout.
Wild vs Golden Knights | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Golden Knights -154 Favorites
Vegas will play in front of its home fans (2,600 expected) for the first time in almost a year when the team hosts Minnesota in the first of two games. The Golden Knights blanked the Devils 3-0 last March 3 in their most recent home game with fans in attendance before the regular season was paused. They stayed atop the West Division with a 3-2 overtime victory against the Ducks as -220 road favorites on Saturday, with the UNDER cashing in their seventh consecutive game. However, the Wild have won a season-high six in a row, and they have taken six of the eight all-time meetings, including three of the last four. The UNDER is on a 4-0-1 series run.
Avalanche vs Sharks | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Avalanche -175 Favorites
Colorado closes out a four-game road trip with the first of two at San Jose. The Avalanche just swept the Coyotes in a pair to open the trip by a combined score of 9-4 after closing as -170 favorites each time. Meanwhile, the Sharks have been outscored 13-8 in losing their last two games, with the OVER on a 3-0 run. In addition, San Jose has been dominated in this series of late, dropping the past four meetings to Colorado, including three by three goals or more.
