There are 11 games on the NHL schedule tonight, including a handful of premier out-of-conference matchups. The Oilers, without star center Connor McDavid, will take on the hottest team in the NHL, the Lightning. Also on tap are matchups between the Stars and Maple Leafs, the Islanders and Predators, and the Capitals and Avalanche.
There’s plenty to wager on, but let’s take a closer look at two games in particular. Here are my two best bets for Thursday:
Edmonton Oilers vs. Tampa Bay Lightning: Lightning -1.5 (+130)
The Lightning are on fire right now.
