Hockey is a fun sport to bet since things can change so quickly. If you are just getting started with betting on the NHL or if you have decided you need some help then check out the free picks from some of our top handicappers.
As always with the free picks I want to make sure you know this little disclaimer. The free picks aren’t the best picks these services provide. The best picks can be found when signing up for a premium subscription.
That doesn’t mean that these free picks don’t win more often than they lose. It just means that the picks aren’t as strong as the handicappers opinions on games they release on the premium side.

Sharks -106 at CIRCA |

My selection is on San Jose over Boston at 11:05 pm et on Tuesday. I really like the way this spot sets up for the Sharks as they look to rebound following Saturday's 3-1 loss on home ice against the Oilers. That was Macklin Celebrini's first game back after missing a pair of games due to injury and turned out to be a sluggish matinee affair. I expect to see a lot more energy from San Jose on Tuesday as it hosts a Bruins team that is coming off back-to-back blowout wins over the Mammoth and Flyers, scoring a whopping 11 goals in the process. Boston is 4-2 overall but just 1-1 on the road with its lone victory coming by way of overtime. The Sharks have taken three straight meetings in this series and I look for them to make it four on Tuesday. Take San Jose. |

Senators -112 at CIRCA |

Blues v Senators NHL Free Pick The Angle(s): The Ottawa Senators are on the second night of a back-to-back, and I think the market is giving the tired-legs angle too much weight. Ottawa just went into New Jersey and handled the Devils 4-1, and coming back to the Canadian Tire Centre should more than make up for the short turnaround. The St. Louis Blues have dropped three straight, most recently a 3-2 overtime loss to San Jose, and even that record is flattering. St. Louis has scored above its expected baseline, which tells me the offense has been running on finishing luck that won’t last. When the shooting regresses, a team that’s already allowing 3+ goals per game doesn’t have much to fall back on. I’ll back the better, more structured club at home, even on no rest. The Bet: Senators ML (3%). 33-18 (65%) run, +$13,000 on $1k flat bets dating back to Sep 30! Mike has 3 premium picks (1 MLB, 2 NHL) posted for clients for Tuesday.
