Free NHL Picks, Best Bets and Parlays for 4/15/22

There wasn’t much to brag about last night in our picks for the NHL.

We had two Best Bets last night, cashing a ticket on the Maple Leafs win over Washington, but losing the other one, as the Oilers massacred Nashville 4-0, hurting the Predators’ playoff run. That lowered our Best Bet of the Day record to 35-26 since the All-Star Break.

We went 7-5 betting the MoneyLine to improve our overall record to 262-150 since the All-Star break.

There are only two games on the schedule for tonight and neither one has much importance regarding the playoffs. We’ll go ahead and pick them and see if we can cash a couple of bets. .

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET* New York Islanders at Montreal: The Isles have very quietly been a pretty good hockey club over the last 25 games and they should be favored in this one. They are coming off of a tough loss last night in Pittsburgh and they could have a letdown after that game. However, the Canadiens are really just playing out the season. Bet the MoneyLine on New York -150

*BEST GAME OF THE NIGHT* Winnipeg at Florida: The schedule is pretty weak tonight if this qualifies as the best game of the night. The Panthers are fighting with Colorado for the overall best record in the NHL. The Jets are still alive in the playoff hunt and they need every win they can get. It’s not an impossible situation for them but it is hard to think they can win this one. PAPA DUDES PICK: Florida and OVER 6.5 total goals

THE REST OF THE GAMES: No other games are scheduled for tonight
