New York Rangers -1.5 (-110) vs Montreal Canadiens

This needs to really be a get right spot for the Rangers. The Rangers have won just 2 out of their last 8 games, and have won 1 of their last 5 on the road. Sure, off the cusp that does not sound great for the Rangers winning by 2+ goals. But it reinforces their urgency in a game in which they have significant advantages. The Rangers are just loaded with depth and talent. With each game that goes by, New York’s chemistry with their new-look roster gets better and better. They will snap out of this slump eventually, and bettors will want to be on them when they do. Why not break out of a slump against a bad team? The Rangers are already the far superior team and will come out with added urgency to collect these 2 points.

Fortunately for the Rangers, the Canadiens are not exactly setting the world on fire. Montreal has dropped 4 straight games and 5 out of their last 6 games. The Rangers are 19-12 against the spread on the road which is better than the Canadiens’ 16-15 home record against the spread. New York both scores many more and allows many less goals per game than Montreal, they have better specials teams than the Canadiens, and have better numbers 5 on 5. At some point, even if the better team is not in great form, the depth and star power becomes too much for the weaker opponent to handle. The Rangers should break out on Thursday.

Check out today’s best full analysis of Thursday’s slate.

New Jersey Devils -1.5 (+165) vs Washington Capitals

The Devils continue to be one of the best, most consistent teams in hockey without really any reprieve. They got even better at the trade deadline by acquiring Timo Meier, and are getting more and more familiarized with their already-good, upgraded roster. New Jersey is 6-2-1 in their last 9 games and has won 12 out of their last 18 games. In that current 9-game stretch, the Devils had an ugly one-off loss to the Canadiens. Otherwise, their other 2 losses were a 4-3 loss to Vegas beyond regulation and a 4-3 loss to Toronto. If there is a glass half full, even their losses are close, competitive games. The Devils are the better team in this game that also happens to be in better form. They should take care of business just fine.

The Capitals have really seen better days. They have won 3 of their last 11 games and 1 of their last 6 at home. With that, they have played themselves out of a playoff spot and likely playoff contention for the season. The 3 wins in that current 11-game stretch came against a slumping Rangers team, weak Ducks team, and weak Sharks team. Aside from those wins, the Capitals cannot get the job done lately regardless of the quality of opponent. These are 2 teams that are trending in very different directions. This +165 number to take a very good, hot team to cover -1.5 against a weaker team which is also slumping is a great value.

Ottawa Senators (+120) vs Seattle Kraken

As this season has progressed, the Senators have quietly become one of the NHL’s most exciting teams. They are on fire and have played themselves into legitimate contention for an Eastern Conference wild card spot. At the turn of the calendar, it would have seemed crazy for the Senators to be buyers come the trade deadline. But they only got better by acquiring Jakob Chychrun. That is how well they have played since the turn of the calendar. Ottawa has won 5 of their last 6 games. Not that we can plain disregard games. But their loss in that span was a 5-0 shutout at the hands of the Blackhawks. That is a fluke. If the Blackhawks beat just about any team in the league for the rest of the season, it is a fluke. The Senators will brush it off and regroup.

The Kraken are playing good hockey. But there is not enough separating these teams right now to make this +120 outright for the Senators not look attractive. For the most part, this comes down to current form, value, and the overall jump in the Senators’ game right now. There is a great feeling in that locker room, and they are playing a free style like they have nothing to lose. That, along with their youth and skill makes them dangerous. Seattle has won 5 straight games entering this game. Those wins were over the Blues, Red Wings, Blue Jackets, Avalanche, and Ducks. With an exception, that is not exactly a gauntlet. In a game between a couple good teams, take the side with value.
