NHL free bet today Hurricanes vs. Kings – UNDER 5.5 Goals – By ASAwins.com

Tonight’s matchup between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Los Angeles Kings presents a strong case for betting the UNDER 5.5 goals, driven by elite defensive play and recent low-scoring trends from both teams.

The Hurricanes rank 5th in the NHL in goals allowed per game at 2.60, while the Kings sit just ahead at 3rd with 2.54. Carolina leads the league in preventing shots on goal, allowing the fewest per game, while the Kings are right behind in 2nd place. Fewer shots mean fewer scoring chances, setting the stage for a tight, low-scoring affair.

Both squads excel at neutralizing power plays, with their penalty kill percentages ranking in the top 10 league-wide.

The Kings have been a moneymaker for the UNDER bettor, with their games staying below 5.5 goals in 5 straight contests and 8 of their last 10. The Hurricanes aren’t far behind, with games involving them dipping below 5.5 goals in 7 of their last 10.

With two of the NHL’s best defenses squaring off, expect a grind-it-out battle where scoring chances are at a premium. ASA’s NHL free bet today is on the UNDER 5.5 goals Hurricanes at Kings.

Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach NHL Free Pick OVER 6.5 in Tampa Bay Lightning vs Buffalo Sabres @ 5:05 ET – Buffalo has been a scrappy hard-fighting team that has made life difficult for strong clubs as they put a scare into them with strong offensive showings. The Lightning are a 4 to 1 money line favorite here though with good reason! The fact is that the Sabres should enjoy some success in the offensive zone and create good scoring opportunities plus the TB netminding has not been as strong as usual of late. However, the other fact is that Buffalo has struggled defensively and in protecting their own cage. That said, I am looking for plenty of scoring here. The Sabres 8 of last 10 games have totaled 7 or more goals. Going further back it is 19 of 29 games totaling 7 or more goals. The Bolts are hungry off a 2-1 OT loss at home to Boston Saturday. Before that low-scoring defeat Tampa had played 5 straight games totaling at least 7 goals and they will be relentless on the attack here as they are angry having lost 4 straight games! That means plenty of goals in this one! Free Pick OVER 6.5 in Tampa Bay

Rickenbach NHL free bets April 6

Scott “The Bulldog” Rickenbach Wednesday NHL Free bets OVER 6 in St Louis Blues vs Seattle Kraken @ 8:05 ET – The Kraken have trended toward higher-scoring games the past 5 weeks. Seattle had one 3-0 loss during this stretch but in the other 13 games since then they went 6-6-1 and the games averaged 6.5 goals per game. I like the value here because the Kraken would love to play the role of spoiler here and so they will force the Blues to outscore them in what will turn into a high-scoring affair. St Louis has won 7 of 13 games and the reason they have not won more games during this critical stretch has been shaky goaltending at times. Husso is off a strong game in between the pipes but the Blues last 13 games have averaged totaling nearly 8 goals per game! Solid line value with this total in my opinion. Free Pick OVER 6 in St Louis.
