If you’re looking for a moneyline pick, my choice is the Blues to take down the Hockey Club at home. With the moneyline currently at -161, I’m placing my bet on the Blues straight-up.

For a puck line pick, we are going with the Blues to win and cover. Look for the Blues to win this one by multiple goals over the Hockey Club.

When considering the over/under line, which is currently at 5.5 goals, we believe that this game will go over that threshold, and we recommend wagering on the over.
