Expert Picks for NHL Games on November 28
NHL expert Jonathan Davis shares his best bets for the games taking place today, focusing on individual players and team performances across several high-stakes matchups.
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Detroit Red Wings
The Tampa Bay Lightning begins a stretch of seven out of nine road games, starting with a visit to the Detroit Red Wings on November 28. Detroit is coming off a loss where they conceded five goals in the third period. John Gibson is expected to start for Detroit.
Key Bet: Tampa Bay Lightning first period money line.
The Bolts have a strong record of scoring early, with six out of their last seven after the opening 20 minutes. Meanwhile, Detroit has not led in any of their past 13 games and has struggled to score first goals.
New York Rangers vs. Boston Bruins
The New York Rangers have won back-to-back games following a three-game losing streak, aiming for a third straight win against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden Arena. The Rangers’ Jonathan Quick is on injured reserve, potentially paving the way for Dylan Garand’s debut.
Key Bet: Mika Zibanejad anytime goal. Zibanejad has scored the first goal of the game six times this season and four on the road. He also has an assist in each of his last four games, making him a strong play for those interested in early action.
Colorado Avalanche vs. Minnesota Wild
In a matchup featuring two teams with winning streaks, Colorado has won 10 straight while Minnesota has taken five out of the last six meetings. Cale Makar and Ross Colton are key players to watch, both with consistent shot-on-goal performances.
Key Bet: Cale Makar Over 2.5 shots on goal. Makar has cashed this prop in six of his last nine games overall and all seven head-to-head matchups against the Wild. This bet offers a balanced risk for those looking to capitalize on early game action.
Montreal Canadiens vs. Vegas Golden Knights
The Montreal Canadiens have been dominant recently, winning their last eight matches while Vegas has dropped three straight. Both teams are known for high-scoring games, with thirteen of the Habs’ last 14 matches going Over the total.
Key Bet: First period Over 1.5 goals. Both teams have a history of scoring early, with the Canadiens and Golden Knights combining to go Over in eight of their past eleven first periods.
