NHL Picks and Predictions for 10/27/21 Free NHL Picks

Play: Panthers ML -125 

Detroit Red Wings +174 at Washington Capitals -200 Total: 6

The Detroit Red Wings have been involved in some high-scoring affairs. The Red Wings are averaging 3.3 goals per game while the defense is giving up 3.5 goals per game. Washington is averaging 4.3 goals per game, and their offense is going to attack the Red Wings' weak defense. Look for a high-scoring game that goes over the total. 

Play: Over 6

Toronto Maple Leafs -169 at Chicago Blackhawks +145 Total: 6

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Chicago Blackhawks have both gotten out to a slow start to the season. Both the Maple Leafs and Blackhawks don’t have great defenses but more importantly, both of these offenses aren’t great. Look for the Maple Leafs and Blackhawks to both max out at two goals, and the under will cash. 

Play: Under 6 Goals

Vegas Golden Knights -105 at Dallas Stars -115 Total: 5.5

This Vegas Golden Knights team isn’t great, and they aren’t going to magically pick it up in this game. Vegas is ranked 27th in terms of goals per game and 26th in terms of goals given up per game. The Stars defense has been good giving up only 2.5 goals per game, and their defense will lock down Vegas. Back The Stars. 

Play: Stars ML -115

Philadelphia Flyers +142 at Edmonton Oilers -161 Total 6.5

The Flyers and Oilers are both elite offenses and even at 6.5, this total is too low. The Flyers are averaging 4.5 goals per game while the Oilers are averaging 4.6 goals per game. Look for both defenses to struggle, and this game is going to be a high scoring affair. It wouldn’t be shocking if there were nine or ten goals scored in this one. 

Play: Over 6.5 Goals
