Leafs prevail in low-scoring Ontario battle, Rangers Snap Jets snap winning streak in Tuesday’s best bets

Tuesday offers plenty of opportunities to succeed with seven games on the NHL schedule. We’ve started to warm up with our picks lately as we’ve gone 8-5 over our last 13 picks. Our puck line predictions have also improved lately with a 4-1 record over our last five picks.

All betting lines are from Bet365 and are subject to change. Hockey is a difficult sport to predict, so play responsibly.

Bet: Leafs ML (-125), Senators Leafs Under 5.5 goals (-105)

This game desperately wants you to take over as people expect the feisty Ontario battle to score plenty of goals, but both teams are deploying elite goaltending with Ottawa’s Linus Ullmark and Anthony Stolarz from Toronto.

They lowered the line to 6.0 and put it at more money to try and attract punters. We know how physical games between these two teams go and this season Toronto has used their physical style of play to keep games low scoring. The Buds have had six straight games where they have totaled less than seven goals and four straight games totaling less than six goals before tonight.

Ottawa should also maintain low scoring thanks to Linus Ullmark, who has a 2.44 goals-against average and .921 save percentage in his last six starts against Toronto. The Senators have been a brutal team on the road this season with a 2-5-0 road record compared to the Maple Leafs’ 7-2-0 record at home.

Bet: Rangers ML (-130), Jets Rangers Under 6.5 goals (-140)

The Winnipeg Jets are off to the best start to the season in the NHL with wins in 14 of their first 15 games. They look to stay hot against a very tough New York Rangers team that is 9-3-1 this season.

The Big Apple will be a great stage for the Jets to show the entire hockey world why they are such a prolific hockey club. Winnipeg is an underdog at the position despite winning three of its last four games against the Rangers, including their last two trips to New York.

I believe they are favored for a reason, as the Jets are due for a loss and the plus money option for them is meant to lure in bettors just for the Rangers to win.

The Jets have yet to lose on the road this season and Connor Hellebuyck will be in net with an 11-1-0 record and a 1.83 goals-against average. Since last season, the Rangers are 34-13-1 with a 2.71 goals-against average at home.

It will be a tight defensive game with these two teams totaling less than seven goals in seven consecutive meetings.

Bet: Rasmus Andersson Over 0.5 points (+132), Flames Over 2.5 goals (-115), Flames Canucks Over 6.5 goals (+100)

The Flames are one of the few teams to have a defenseman leading his team in points and with his four goals and seven assists, Rasmus Andersson leads Calgary with 11 points in 16 games this season.

The 28-year-old Swede has had a bit of a dry spell lately with just one point in his last eight games. He’ll have a good chance of getting on the scoresheet at least once against a Canucks team that has the worst home goals-against average in the league this season at 4.67 in just six games.

It’s a small sample size, but Andersson has normally fared well against the Canucks with two goals and three assists for five points over their last five matchups. He should lead some impressive offensive output from the Flames that will help take the game to the end.
