NHL Three Free Picks

Buffalo Sabres (-175) at Chicago Blackhawks (+155)

The Sabres head to the United Center for a match-up with the red-hot Blackhawks. Chicago does not give up points at home, while the Sabres have a good overall record, they are only two games over .500 on the road. Chicago goalies have allowed two goals or fewer in four of their last six appearances and are at the top of their game. The Blackhawks are a young, exciting team playing extremely well at both ends of the ice. They have scored over 40 goals this year and allowed under 25. Look for Chicago to improve their overall home record with a win against Buffalo in the comfort of the United enter.

NHL free pick: Chicago covers puck line (-1.5)

Washington Capitals at Pittsburgh Penguins

Wednesday night sees a whole lot of fire power take the ice in an always highly anticipated duel between phenoms Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Alexander Ovechkin, and the list goes on. Ovechkin is the reigning league MVP, top goal scorer, and top point getter, a position Malkin is trying to accomplish this season. Malkin is up to his usual tricks, Crosby is always dangerous whenever he hits the ice, and Ovechkin’s credentials simply speak for themselves. The two teams have met twice last season both times combining to score over 5 goals, and the BETUS over under sits at 6.0. Both teams goaltenders save percentages are meager , and have a tendency to allow bad goals. There is bad blood between the superstars in this match-up which brings the best out of them. There will be goals galore tonight in Pittsburgh.

NHL free pick: BETUS over 6.0 (+100)

Detroit Red Wings at Anaheim Ducks

Detroit and Anaheim are known for scoring a lot of goals. And I mean a lot of goals. The Red Wings have scored a torrid 52 goals, but have allowed 40. This definitely is their weakness, allowing goals due in part to poor goaltending. Osgood has a save percentage of .885 which is just not getting the job done. The Ducks have scored 43 but have allowed the same amount to hit their netting (40). BETUS over/under of 5.5 is too good to pass up. Its tantalizing betting lines such as this over that puts BETUS above other sites worldwide.
