Golden Knights vs Wild | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Golden Knights -118 Favorites
Minnesota will try to beat Vegas in consecutive games and for the fourth time in five home meetings on Wednesday. The Golden Knights were blanked 2-0 by the Wild in a pick’em matchup on Monday, snapping their season-high six-game winning streak as they played without their two highest-paid players in winger Mark Stone and defenseman Alex Pietrangelo. Minnesota had lost two meetings at Vegas last week but played outstanding defense, with the UNDER cashing for the first time in the team’s last six games. The UNDER is 9-2 in the past 11 games for the Golden Knights, who have lost two in a row only once so far this season.
Senators vs Oilers | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Oilers -250 Favorites
Edmonton will go for its third straight victory overall and sixth in as many meetings with Ottawa this year in the second game of a three-game home series. The Oilers improved to 5-0 against the Senators in 2021 on Monday with a 3-2 win as -245 home favorites, with the UNDER cashing in the fourth consecutive game between them and for the fifth time in six games for Edmonton overall. Ottawa was coming off a 4-3 upset victory at Calgary in a shootout as a +155 road underdog on Sunday and has now lost three of its last four after winning four of five.
Coyotes vs Avalanche | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Avalanche -185 Favorites
Arizona will look to extend its winning streak to three games in the finale of a two-game set at Colorado. The Coyotes opened their seven-game road trip with an impressive 3-2 upset win over the Avalanche as +155 underdogs on Monday, as they overcame the loss of goaltender Darcy Kuemper to an apparent injury. Arizona backup goalie Antti Raanta turned away all 16 shots he faced in the third period after replacing Kuemper, and Johan Larsson scored the game-winning goal on a tip-in. Colorado had won the previous two meetings this season, and the team has yet to lose three games in a row, with the UNDER on a 3-1 run in its last four overall.
Kings vs Ducks | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Kings -117 Favorites
Anaheim will attempt to win three straight games for the first time this year in the finale of a two-game home series versus Los Angeles. The Ducks cashed as +110 home underdogs in a 6-5 overtime victory in the opener on Monday, thanks to Adam Henrique’s sixth goal. Rickard Rakell also added two goals for Anaheim while Los Angeles got a hat trick from Adrian Kempe, who tied it at 5-5 with his third goal of the game at the 17:28 mark of the third period. The Ducks have won five of the past six meetings with the Kings, and the UNDER is on a 2-0 run for both.
Canadiens vs Canucks | OddsShark Matchup Report
Opening NHL Odds: Canadiens -138 Favorites
Vancouver will bring a three-game winning streak into the finale of a two-game home series against Montreal. The Canucks have won as many as four games in a row one other time this season and then proceeded to lose six straight. They edged the Canadiens 2-1 in a shootout as +125 home underdogs on Monday, with the UNDER improving to 3-0 in their last three games. Montreal had won the previous four meetings with Vancouver, and the OVER was 5-0 in five games between them in 2021 before the most recent low-scoring affair. The Canadiens have also dropped nine of their last 12 overall, with the UNDER ending a 2-0 OVER run.
