Why These Picks?
STL Blues v CLB Blue Jackets: My favourite to fade, Joel Hofer (5.81 GAA), is confirmed to start for St. Louis this afternoon! Hofer hasn’t had a start that’s seen less than 6 goals so far this season, friends. In addition, the Blue Jackets offense has been absolute fire having scored 15 goals in just their last 3 games. On the other side, the Blues have cashed the Over in their last 5 straight outings. My money is undoubtedly on a high-scoring affair today. As for a winner, St. Louis has lost their last 4 straight meetings with Columbus; between the Blues’ choice of goaltender this afternoon and the Blue Jackets’ fire power, I’ll also take the home team to bag a win in regulation.
COL Avalanche v SJ Sharks: The Sharks have had a taste of victory (finally!) and I imagine they’ll be hellbent on trying to bag another. Make no mistake, the Avalanche are far and away the better team, but MacKenzie Blackwood is confirmed to make his first start for Colorado this afternoon after returning from injury. I won't be surprised if San Jose gets a few past him. Between the Avs offense and the Sharks looking to continue capitalizing on home ice, I say the Over hits.
MIN Timberwolves v CHA Hornets: The Hornets have yet to play a game this season that has landed under 230 points, and Minnesota has cashed the over in 4 of their last 5 outings. In addition, the Timberwolves will be without Anthony Edwards this evening and have yet to cover the spread in a win. To be frank, I actually think this could be a good spot for Charlotte to pull off the upset. As per usual, there are a number of GTDs with both squads – but assuming LaMelo Ball plays tonight, I say the Hornets cover and the Over cashes.
