Lightning vs. Blue Jackets NHL Prediction [gamematchup league="nhl" awaylogo="https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nhl/100/tbd.png" awayname="Lightning" awayslug="tampa-bay-lightning" homelogo="https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nhl/100/cbj.png" homename="Blue Jackets" homeslug="columbus-blue-jackets" date="Thursday, Nov 2" time="7:00pm ET" network="ESPN+" col1text="Spread" col2text="Total" col3text="Moneyline" col1awaytext="-1.5" col1awayline="+150" col1hometext="+1.5" col1homeline="-178" col2awaytext="6.5" col2hometext="6.5" col2awayline="-120o / +100u" col2homeline="-120o / +100u" col3awaytext="-160" col3hometext="+135" col3awayline="" col3homeline="" bookname="Caesars" bookthumbnaillogo="https://assets.actionnetwork.com/463646_Caesars.png" bookreviewslug="caesars"][/gamematchup] The Lightning are admittedly the most-expensive favorites pertinent to tonight's road trend. But the recent head-to-head with Columbus hasn't been close. The Lightning won all three meetings last season as favorites of -434, -302 and -207, outscoring the Blue Jackets 19-6. It's not the same, vaunted Bolts squad like years past, but tonight's spot suggests a discounted value on the visitors. Our NHL odds page shows the Lightning as expensive as -175 tonight. Caesars, meanwhile, is -160. Action’s Caesars Sportsbook promo code unlocks $1,000 in bonus bets for new sign-ups. PRO System Prediction: Lightning Moneyline Panthers vs. Red Wings NHL Prediction [gamematchup league="nhl" awaylogo="https://assets.actionnetwork.com/351416_panthers_200x200.png" awayname="Panthers" awayslug="florida-panthers" homelogo="https://static.sprtactn.co/teamlogos/nhl/100/det.png" homename="Red Wings" homeslug="detroit-red-wings" date="Thursday, Nov 2" time="7:00pm ET" network="ESPN+" col1text="Spread" col2text="Total" col3text="Moneyline" col1awaytext="-1.5" col1awayline="+195" col1hometext="+1.5" col1homeline="-240" col2awaytext="6.5" col2hometext="6.5" col2awayline="-128o / +102u" col2homeline="-128o / +102u" col3awaytext="-115" col3hometext="-104" col3awayline="" col3homeline="" bookname="FanDuel" bookthumbnaillogo="https://assets.actionnetwork.com/392973_FanDuel.png" bookreviewslug="fanduel"][/gamematchup] It's a match on the Panthers tonight in Detroit. Plus, factoring in a consensus moneyline price of -115 (implied 53.5%), we'll take it all day long stacked up against a 64%-winning angle. FanDuel is offering an even cheaper price of -113.

They're rested and laying a cheap price against a Capitals squad trending down. PRO System Prediction: Islanders Moneyline Not to be outdone, the other NHL system live tonight posts a 60%-winning percentage.

This particular model has singled out Boston three times this season and has correctly nailed all three predictions. The Bruins are short, consensus favorites. Get them -110 at Bet365 for the best odds vs. the Leafs. New users get $365 in bonus bets when they sign up using our bet365 bonus code. PRO System Prediction: Bruins Moneyline Stars vs. Oilers NHL Prediction The Stars are one of the best bets in hockey early this season. However, teams like the Oilers have fared well in this spot. This is a prediction on Leon Draisaitl and Edmonton to keep the good times rolling as they are fresh off their first regulation win. Oilers moneyline is priced between -130 and -146. Get the best odds at DraftKings (-130), where new users can get $200 in bonus bets by using the DraftKings promo code. PRO System Prediction: Oilers Moneyline Canadiens vs. Coyotes NHL Prediction The Coyotes are playing the second leg of a back-to-back, but are undervalued against the Canadiens, who are more than likely playing with an inflated record. Sportsbooks price the Coyotes between -130 and -144 tonight to beat the Canadiens. The best odds Thursday night are at BetMGM (-130). Action’s BetMGM bonus code unlocks up to $1,500 in bonus bets for new sign-ups!
