Free Pick on Wild

Free Total Annihilator On Bruins vs Coyotes under 6 -110

1* Free Wiseguy Play on Stars -105

*All picks are based on situations, trends, statistics and injuries among many other factors*

After four straight wins on the road, the Stars are playing their first home game in 10 days. Admittedly, they've played well here this season. The first game back from a road trip can often be tough though and they're going to be facing a hungry Washington team. The Stars are 13-14 (-5.8) the past 2+ seasons, after having played their previous three or more on the road. During the same span, the Caps are a lucrative 38-23 (+7.7) after having allowed four or more goals in their previous game. Consider Washington. 

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach Free Pick NHL Friday New York Rangers Money Line +120 vs Minnesota Wild @ 8:05 ET - Good value here with the home dog as the Rangers are in the 2nd game of a back to back and I am aware of the Adam Fox injury. However, New York fell short at Columbus last night despite doubling up the Blue Jackets in shots on goal 36 to 18. Georgiev was in goal and he has been struggling but Shesterkin has been fantastic and I expect that to continue tonight on Friday as the Rangers current #1 netminder should be back patrolling the crease tonight. The Rangers, prior to last night's loss, had won 9 of 12 games. The Wild have been hot but still have lost 6 of last 12 games including 4 of last 6 played away from home. We have solid home dog value here and I won't pass up on this one. Free Pick NEW YORK RANGERS Money Line +120

Friday NHL Free play. My selection is on Pittsburgh over Detroit at 7:05 pm et on Friday.

This is obviously an extremely chalky play but I like the way the situation sets up for the Penguins and believe the price could be even higher. First, I want to isolate a situation I've brought up on multiple occasions this season, with considerable success. The Red Wings are now a miserable 9-50 when playing on the road off a loss over the last 2+ seasons, outscored by 1.9 goals on average in that situation. Meanwhile, the Pens check in off a stunning home loss to the expansion Kraken last night. Perhaps Pittsburgh got a little complacent after brushing aside the lowly Coyotes by a 6-3 score one game earlier. Nevertheless, I expect the Pens to bounce back with a strong effort here, noting that they're a perfect 9-0 in their last nine home games coming off a one-goal loss, outscoring opponents by a wide margin of 2.8 goals in that situation. You would have to go back five meetings to April of 2019 to find the last time Detroit defeated Pittsburgh. The Wings last victory here in the Steel City came way back in 2017. Take Pittsburgh.
