It’s a lighter slate of NHL games on Sunday but there is still plenty of value in the six games. Let’s take a look at a free pick in each of the games to make your Sunday a profitable one. 

Tampa Bay Lightning at Philadelphia Flyers 

The Flyers have had issues scoring goals all season averaging only 2.38 goals per game. That type of offense isn’t going to be enough to get the job done in this game against a high scoring game like the Lightning. I expect Tampa Bay is going to find plenty of success early with their offense and they will come away with a victory on the road.

Play: Lightning ML

San Jose Sharks at Columbus Blue Jackets

It’s hard to bet against the Columbus Blue Jackets when they play on their home ice. The Blue Jackets are averaging 3.19 goals per game and they are going to find plenty of offensive success in this game. Look for the Sharks to struggle to score and the Blue Jackets will win this game on the money line

Play: Blue Jackets ML

Chicago Blackhawks at New York Islanders

Heading into Saturday’s game the Islanders had lost nine straight, and the offense has been a big issue. The Islanders are averaging only 1.83 goals per game and their lack of scoring will let them down in this game. Back the Blackhawks.

Play: Blackhawks ML

Los Angeles Kings at Edmonton Oilers

The Edmonton Oilers have been playing some strong hockey, especially at home where they sit with a 9-1 record overall. The Kings offense has been bad this season averaging only 2.63 goals per game and their lack of scoring is going to be awful again in this game.Back the Oilers on the alternate puck line at -2.5

Play: Oilers -2.5

Toronto Maple Leafs at Winnipeg Jets 

The Winnipeg Jets are well-rested while the Maple Leafs had a tough matchup against the Minnesota Wild. The Leafs defense struggled on Saturday and it will be an issue again in this game. The Jets are averaging only 2.913 goals per game, but that average will be improved in this game. Back the Jets. 

Play: Jets ML 

Calgary Flames at Vegas Golden Knights

The Flames are the play in this game, and one of the top plays on the board. The Flames have the ninth ranked offense and the top ranked defense. The Flames are going to run up the score and their defense will lock down the Golden Knights. Back the Flames. 

Play: Flames ML
