Max’s Salty NHL Bets for 1/17/2021

My picks went 5-5 yesterday but most importantly, my bets went 3-1. Only two games on the slate today.

Washington Capitals (107) at Pittsburgh Penguins (-118)

Pick: Bet Penguins ($20)

Notes: Washington has started 2-0 thanks to a mini-series against the Sabers. The Penguins got a tough start with Philly but no need to fade them yet. They match up well with Washington here and should pull out the win.

Chicago Blackhawks (127) at Florida Panthers (-140)

Pick: Lean Panthers

Notes: Leaning the Panthers here as it’s a little too much chalk for me to lay on them when my metrics have this as pretty close match-up. The Blackhawks should be able to muster up a bit more offense against them than against Tampa.
