By Rock Westfall
Thankfully, another weekend won’t be wasted on the outdated NHL All-Star Game. In fact, this week is one of the best in the NHL Betting season.
The playoff race is heating up with no margin for error. Of course, one of the biggest factors for gamblers to consider in the weeks ahead is makeup games and the compressed schedule. As a result of this aspect, there will be considerable roster attrition. Backup goaltenders will be at a premium value too. At the onset of the weekend is a potential Stanley Cup Final preview between the Lightning and Avalanche.

New York Islanders at Edmonton Oilers, 9 p.m. ESPN+
Late on, the Islanders have lost four of their most recent six NHL Picks Today matchups. New York stands at 16-17-6 with 13-25 under the total.

Of major concern for this game is New York’s pathetic popgun offense. The Islanders lack the firepower to capitalize on the Oilers’ defensive and goaltending problems.
