Monday brings an eight-game schedule in the National Hockey League, with a relatively competitive slate of games. Only one favorite has odds greater than +200. Check out today's picks.
The NHL regular season isn't close to half over, but Monday features plenty of marquee matchups between teams on the periphery of the playoff race. One of the most compelling pairings features the St. Louis Blues visiting the Vancouver Canucks.
The Blues are three points out of a playoff spot while the Canucks are five back but have played two fewer games than St. Louis. And with the calendar year nearly done, both teams are approaching the tipping point, deciding whether they are going to be competing for a playoff berth or dealing away expiring contracts as they approach a possible rebuild.
Add in the fact that both teams carry identical -110 odds to prevail, and this might just be the most interesting matchup of the night.
