I’ve been reluctant to back the Pens at all this season, but with six wins over their last 10 games, it might be worth riding the hand while it’s hot on Wednesday.
After knocking off the Leafs 5-2 on Saturday, Pittsburgh holds a two-day rest advantage over an Avs side playing its third game in four days.
Colorado is riding back to back road wins over the Red Wings and Devils, but having allowed four or more goals in three of their last four games, this is still a tough spot for the Avs.
The Wild were handed a surprising 4-1 loss by the Kings last week, but at 18-5-1, they remain the best team in hockey.
John Hynes’ side remains on the road for their first visit to Utah, one they should be winning given the Wild have been one of the best bounce-back bets all year.
For Utah, this is their third game in four days despite beating both the Sabres and Flyers on the road leading in.
With the Wild looking ahead to build heading into Friday’s game against Edmonton, this looks like a great spot to bet on the visitors with some slight H2H value on offer.
The Kraken have been one of the most surprising teams over the last week, improving to a 14-14-1 record thanks to three impressive road wins over Carolina, the Islanders, and the Rangers.
Florida, meanwhile, have steadied with five wins from their last six games, while they also hold a rest advantage with the Kraken playing their fourth game in six days.
Off a two-day break, this looks as good a spot as any to back the defending champs.
