As the weekend wraps up and the Stanley Cup playoffs approach, the NHL has a solid 5-game slate for us to enjoy. It can certainly become more difficult to handicap games with each team having different levels of motivation, but we're still locked in with our best NHL predictions for today. We've got a pick using the standard markets alongside a player prop, so let's break down each one.
Along with our best NHL predictions, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Avalanche vs. Golden Knights – Under 6.5 goals (-115)
Under 6.5 goals (-115) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.
One of the earlier matchups for today is what could be a Western Conference Finals preview. In fact, it looked to be the most likely one last season before the Colorado Avalanche were shockingly eliminated by the Seattle Kraken. Regardless, these are the 2 most recent Stanley Cup champions, so it's a great matchup to enjoy on the final Sunday of the regular season. The results between these teams have been quite polarizing, as we've seen shutout victories in each of the last 3 contests, with the Avs winning 2 of them.'
