ASA NHL free bet Over 6.5 Goals in Flyers vs. Sabres – 7pm ET
The Philadelphia Flyers vs. Buffalo Sabres game at 7:00 PM is a primed for an Over 6.5 goals.
Philadelphia’s Samuel Ersson (.891 SV%, 2.80 GAA) and Buffalo’s James Reimer (~.890-.900 SV%, ~3.00-3.20 GAA) are among the NHL’s weakest goalies, with Ersson’s minus-6.5 GSAA and Reimer’s recent seven-goal outing highlighting their struggles.
Both teams’ defenses are average to below-average, allowing high-danger chances, while their offenses (led by Philly’s Travis Konecny 75-pts and Buffalo’s Tage Thompson 72-pts) can capitalize on shaky goaltending.
The Flyers allow 3.43 GA/G (28th) while the Penguins give up 3.52 GA/G which is 30th. The two meetings between these teams earlier this season produced 11 and 7 goals.
We expect a high-scoring game as neither Ersson nor Reimer consistently stops quality shots.
ASA NHL free bet on Montreal Canadiens -110 vs. Carolina Hurricanes, 7pm ET
Montreal, fighting to clinch the Eastern Conference’s second wild card spot, faces a Carolina team that’s locked up second in the Metropolitan Division and may rest key players.
The Canes will call up several players from their American Hockey League affiliate the Chicago Wolves to get key contributors rest heading into the postseason.
The Canadiens are 14-11 since February, 22nd with a strong 4-1 home record in their most recent 5 games on home ice. Montreal is led by goaltender Sam Montembeault (5-1-1 last 7 starts with a 2.12 GAA and .921 SV%) who is 1-1 against the Canes this season.
Montreal’s top line of Suzuki and Caufield should have plenty of opportunities in this one which spells trouble for Canes goalie Kochetkov.
Kochetkov has allowed at least 3 goals in six straight starts with a 2-4 record, 4.06 GAA and .830 SV%. Montreal’s desperation makes them the clear choice.
Montreal is 2 points away from clinching a playoff berth. Carolina: 1-4-1 in their last 6 games, 0-3-1 in last 4 road games.
We like the Canadiens as our NHL free bet daily today.

Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach Wednesday NHL Free bets OVER 6 in St Louis Blues vs Seattle Kraken @ 8:05 ET – The Kraken have trended toward higher-scoring games the past 5 weeks. Seattle had one 3-0 loss during this stretch but in the other 13 games since then they went 6-6-1 and the games averaged 6.5 goals per game. I like the value here because the Kraken would love to play the role of spoiler here and so they will force the Blues to outscore them in what will turn into a high-scoring affair. St Louis has won 7 of 13 games and the reason they have not won more games during this critical stretch has been shaky goaltending at times. Husso is off a strong game in between the pipes but the Blues last 13 games have averaged totaling nearly 8 goals per game! Solid line value with this total in my opinion. Free Pick OVER 6 in St Louis.
ASA FREE PLAY ON UNDER 6.5 Dallas Stars at Toronto Maple Leafs, Tuesday at 7 PM ET – These are two high-quality teams but both are off B2B losses. Coming off consecutive defeats, both these solid hockey clubs know they need to bear down defensively and work hard to get back into the win column. Look for each club to do a solid job in their own zone and do a much better job of blocking shots and eliminating high-quality scoring chances for the opposition. With the markets moving the number on this total from a 6 to a 6.5 we have additional line value with the under. Look for each team to struggle to get past the two-goal mark in this one and we expect a 3-2 final at the most by the time the final horn sounds. UNDER 6.5 is the play here

Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach NHL Tuesday Free Pick Philadelphia Flyers Money Line +200 vs St Louis Blues @ 7:05 ET – Tough loss in this spot yesterday with Flyers as they lost in OT. They had more shots on goal and more blocked shots (by double digits) in the loss to Carolina. They (and we) deserved better with are big dog play on Flyers and today we should get it. The Blues are off a huge win Saturday at Toronto over the Maple Leafs. However, prior to the win St Louis had lost 4 of 7 games and allowed an average of 5 goals per game in regulation time of the 4 losses. In other words, they are susceptible here to a home dog that is very hungry for a win and is showing that with how well they have played recently. The Flyers have been on the cusp of a win and today they are worth another look as they played very well yesterday plus got a couple key players back. Free Pick PHILADELPHIA +200
