Real hockey returns Monday to the National Hockey League, with six games on tap in the first action following the All-Star break. Read on for today's NHL Best Bets based on the latest odds.
The Battle of Florida featuring the Tampa Bay Lightning visiting the Florida Panthers could be the top matchup, but it's not the only one involving a team on the playoff bubble. The Calgary Flames have their own battle for a playoff spot as they take on the Rangers in New York.
Now that the All-Star Game is done, teams that still have playoff hopes are going to have more pressure to squeeze into the postseason.
Here are our NHL Best Bets for Monday (odds via FanDuel Sportsbook, DraftKings Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook, BetMGM, and PointsBet; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).
