Blackhawks 3, Rangers 0
Connor Bedard scored a goal and added an assist while Spencer Knight stopped all 21 shots he faced as Chicago shut out the New York Rangers 3-0 at home.
Louis Crevier and Tyler Bertuzzi also scored for the Blackhawks, who responded well after being outscored 13-1 over the weekend. Knight’s second shutout of the season was the seventh of his career, and Bedard moved into a tie for third in the NHL with 19 goals — production that jumps off the page when you’re tracking nightly movement on the NHL odds and scores board.
New York managed just one shot on goal across three power plays and provided little support for Igor Shesterkin, who made 22 saves. The Rangers have now dropped three straight (0-1-2).
Panthers 4, Mammoth 3
Anton Lundell scored the game-winner with 52 seconds left in regulation as Florida edged Utah in Salt Lake City, giving the Panthers their first three-game winning streak since they opened the season 3-0-0.
Sam Bennett had his first multigoal game of the season and added an assist, while Carter Verhaeghe posted two points, including his fifth goal in four games. Sergei Bobrovsky made 27 saves as Florida’s late push and offensive depth made the difference — exactly the kind of profile sharp bettors look for when trying to find the best hockey picks all season.
Dylan Guenther scored twice, Jack McBain added a goal and John Marino recorded two assists for the Mammoth, who dropped their third straight. Karel Vejmelka stopped 32 shots in the loss.
Red Wings 4, Flames 3
Alex DeBrincat scored twice and added an assist as Detroit built a four-goal lead and then held on to beat Calgary 4-3 on the road.
Axel Sandin-Pellikka and Dylan Larkin also scored for the Red Wings, who have now won three straight and seven in a row against the Flames. Patrick Kane and Andrew Copp each had two assists, and John Gibson turned aside 34 shots for Detroit, whose recent surge fits neatly with the fundamentals laid out in NHL betting 101.
Joel Farabee, Matt Coronato and MacKenzie Weegar scored for Calgary, which saw its three-game winning streak end in the finale of a four-game homestand. Nazem Kadri contributed two assists, and Devin Cooley made 23 saves.
