Today, we have a massive 13-game Main Slate to navigate. With so many options, I prefer to focus on a few key teams or matchups rather than spreading myself too thin. The variance in a slate this large can be overwhelming. Based on the odds, implied totals, and goaltending matchups, my top picks tonight are the NY Rangers, Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Anaheim Ducks. I anticipate Toronto will be the most popular choice, so I’m opting to fade them. I also see Utah as a solid value play at home.
