Free NHL Picks, Best Bets, and Parlays For 3/5/22

The NHL continues to be a major challenge and bettors are struggling to put 2 good nights in a row. Just got to keep plugging away..

We missed out Best Bet of the Day as the Kings scored late in regulation to tie the game and got a goal in overtime to beat the Blue Jackets. That lowers our record of 8-10.

We went 4-3 betting the MoneyLine improving our overall record to 63-48 since the All-Star break.

Today there are 9 games on the schedule for this Saturday and let’s see if we can get on a roll.

*PAPA DUDES BEST BET OF THE DAY* Calgary at Colorado: Both teams have been playing well but both lost their last outing. This is the best matchup of the day on this busy Saturday of hockey. I like the Avalanche to step up on home ice and beat the Flames in what could be a preview of a future playoff series. PAPA DUDES BEST BET: Bet the MoneyLine on Colorado -145

St.Louis at New York Islanders: The Blues lost to the Rangers on Wednesday and are in the middle of a stretch where they have 8 out of 9 games on the road. They play the Islanders today and finish up tomorrow at New Jersey. These are the type of games that the Blues struggle in and the Islanders are certainly capable of pulling off a big win in this one. I’m going with St.Louis but not very confidently. PAPA DUDES PICK: Bet the MoneyLine on St.Louis -135

Vancouver at Toronto: The Maple Leafs are in a funk that has seen them go 3-4 in their last seven including a 5-1 loss to lowly Buffalo in their last outing. On the other hand, the Canucks have won 4 out of 5 and are fighting for a playoff spot in the Pacific division. I think Toronto is the better team, but I think it’s worth a shot to take Vancouver and the MoneyLine. PAPA DUDES PICK: Bet the MoneyLine on Vancouver +210

Nashville at San Jose: This is another game where it might be worth a shot on the underdog. The Preds are slumping and are in a situation where they could get upset. San Jose still has a chance at a playoff spot and they need every win they can get. The Shark Tank is a tough place to play. PAPA DUDES PICK: Bet the MoneyLine on the Sharks +145

THE REST OF THE GAMES:

Edmonton over Montreal

Washington over Seattle

Philadelphia over Chicago

Phoenix over Ottawa

Boston over Columbus
