Free NHL Picks, Best Bets, and Parlays For 3/4/22

Hockey continues to be a mystery for me. I am really struggling since the All-Star break and can’t gain any consistency. These patterns or ruts or slumps are common in betting sports and it will turnaround soon.

We missed our Best Bet of the Day as the Oilers lost in Chicago to the Blackhawks 4-3. That lowers our record at 8-9

The games on the West coast killed us betting the MoneyLine and we finished at 3-6 for the night. That dropped our overall record to 59-45 for the past 2 and a half weeks.

Today there are 7 games on the schedule so let’s see if we can figure some winners out.

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET OF THE DAY* Los Angeles at Columbus: The Kings are playing pretty well but have faltered as of late. Meanwhile the Blue Jackets are on a good run having won 8 out of their last 11. I think they have a very good chance of winning and there is value betting them. PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Bet the MoneyLine on Columbus +130

Pittsburgh at Carolina: The Penguins got a big win last night in Tampa Bay as they dominated the Lightning in a 5-1 win. Tonight they go into Carolina to face a Hurricanes’ team that was shut out in Washington. So will this be a bounce-back game for Carolina, or will the Pens keep rolling? This should be a very entertaining game. PAPA DUDES PICK: Bet the MoneyLine on Carolina -150

Dallas at Winnipeg: Time is running out for the Jets to have any chance of making the playoffs. They are going to have to start stringing together some wins, and it needs to start tonight. The Stars are 6 points ahead of Winnipeg, but more importantly, only 1 point out of the final playoff spot in the Central Division. Classic matchup with a lot on the line in Manitoba tonight. PAPA DUDES PICK: Bet the MoneyLine on Winnipeg -110

Vegas at Anaheim: The Knights are really struggling and have lost 6 out of their last 8, including four on home ice. They have slipped to 3rd in the Pacific division and are in danger of missing the playoffs entirely. Meanwhile, Anaheim is in 5th place only a point out of the final spot and three points behind Vegas. This is another very important game for both teams. PAPA DUDES PICK: Vegas

THE REST OF THE GAMES:

Tampa Bay over Detroit

New York Rangers over New Jersey

Minnesota over Buffalo
