MYBOOKIE: Best NHL Betting Opportunities For This Weekend on Week 17

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Los Angeles Kings

The first game worth taking a look at from a betting perspective will take place on Saturday as the Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Los Angeles Kings. Pittsburgh will be on the second leg of a back-to-back road in this game, which will be difficult for them to deal with. Combined with the current standings situation for the Kings, this game could be one that the King’s attack at a high level.

The Kings enter this weekend having lost two games in a row, and they are just above .500 at home with a 14-9-2 record on home ice. They are currently in one of the two NHL Wild Card spots in the Western Conference and need to stack up some wins to ensure they have a chance to keep those spots at the end of the regular season. Thanks to some favorable scheduling, LA has a great chance to get a huge win here.

Washington Capitals vs. Boston Bruins

One of the games in the year in the NHL will take place between the Washington Capitals and Boston Bruins. Boston has been the best team in the NHL all year long, and they have been incredible on home ice, with a 22-1-3 record on home ice for the year. But they are going to face a stern challenge in this game from a Capitals team that could end up playing them again in the playoffs.

Washington is also barely hanging onto a Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference, as they are a point ahead of multiple teams trying to pass them for a playoff berth. This game is going to be a difficult one for the Capitals, but they are going to play like their lives depend on it. Whether that is enough for them to overcome the Boston juggernaut will remain to be seen in this Saturday showdown.

Seattle Kraken vs. Philadelphia Flyers

Our final NHL betting looks worth pursuing will take place in Philadelphia, where the residents of Philly will have their minds on a different sporting event on Sunday. But while the Flyers fans will have their minds on the Super Bowl, the Flyers themselves will also be in a rough scheduling spot. They will play the second leg of a back-to-back here against the Seattle Kraken, which could work against Philadelphia despite being at home.

Seattle has been a very good team on the road this season, going 16-7-2 away from Seattle this year. That is a better mark than they have set at home. With fan support in Philadelphia set to be underwhelming ahead of this game, Seattle could extend their superb away record here.
