All three games feature teams that need to collect points as they wrap up the regular season for seeding and a playoff spot.

Philadelphia Flyers at Dallas Stars
- Leg 1: UNDER 6.5 Total Goals (-135)
- Leg 2: Stars -1.5 (-105)
- Leg 3: UNDER 1.5 Total First Period Goals (+110)
The Stars' playoff seeding will likely come down to the wire. They are currently in a three-way tie for first in Central, with just five games remaining. The offense has done its part, with Joe Pavelski on the top line having four goals in the last five games, and Tyler Sequin scoring three. Jake Oettinger continues to dominate between the pipes and is 2-1-0 while allowing 2.03 goals in his previous three starts.
The Flyers are struggling as they finish up their season. The offense is one of the worst in the league, ranking 29th in goals scored per game, and in large part, they have won due to Carter Hart being in the crease. He's likely done for the season as he deals with a lower-body injury.
The Stars’ defense should be dominant, and without Hart, they should roll offensively.

Minnesota Wild at Pittsburgh Penguins
- Leg 1: UNDER 6.5 Total Goals (-135)
- Leg 2: Penguins ML (-135)
- Leg 3: UNDER 2.5 Total Wild Goals (+120)
The good news for the Wild is that Kirill Kaprizov is back at practice Wednesday and should get ice time before the playoffs. They need the reinforcements because they are currently the worst offensively among teams that have secured a playoff spot.
The Penguins’ offense was a complete no-show against the Devils, as this team is on the brink of missing the playoffs for the first time in 17 years. This team has not played consistently excellent for the year, but down the stretch, it's been tough, and they’ve let a few games where they were the favorites slip away.
We should see the Fleury revenge game as he faces his old team. While he's on a fantastic run at the moment, he won't see the offensive support needed to counter the Penguins.

Buffalo Sabres at Detroit Red Wings
- Leg 1: OVER 6.5 Total Goals (-140)
- Leg 2: Dylan Larkin Anytime Goal (+140)
- Leg 3: OVER 3.5 Total Sabres Goals (+105)
The Sabres come in with the third-most goals per game this season and are averaging 3.80 goals per game in their last five. This is an important game as they sit five points behind the Islanders in the Wild Card, so a win today would put them back in position for a run the final week of the season.
Are the Red Wings going to make the playoffs? Likely not, but they will go down trying. They're on a nice run winning four of five, including over Carolina, Pittsburgh, and Toronto. Dylan Larkin and David Perron have been the two bright spots in a dim offense, and they've propelled this offense lately, with each scoring six goals in their last ten games.
All three games have hit the over and I’m pulling for a strong offensive showing.
