Looking for today’s NHL betting trends and odds? Below you’ll find the latest DraftKings Sportsbook Moneyline, Puck Line and total betting percentages for all 11 games on Thursday’s slate, plus where the public and sharp money are landing before puck drop.
Best Bets for Thursday’s NHL Slate
Maple Leafs Puck Line -1.5 (+200): The widest gap on the slate. Toronto -1.5 has just 31% of bets but 91% of the handle, so the bigger wagers are laying the goal and a half with the public on Buffalo.
Devils Puck Line -1.5 (+180): Only 25% of tickets but 83% of the money backs New Jersey to win by two, even as the Rangers draw 61% of Moneyline bets.
Sharks at Predators Over 6.5 (+102): The Over has 43% of bets and 97% of the handle, one of the most lopsided totals on the board.
Mason McTavish Over 0.5 Points (+105): McTavish has recorded a point in 9 of his last 10 games, dating to last season, and the plus-money price is rare for a hit rate that high.
Shane Pinto Over 0.5 Points (+115): Pinto has a point in 9 of his last 10 games, dating to last season, also at plus money.
