Four games. Endless opportunity. Friday night’s NHL slate is lean on volume but loaded with sharp angles — and the sharpest bettors in the building are already locked in.

A goalie with a grudge. An Olympic champion catching his breath on the bench. A six-game win streak flying under the radar as a road underdog. And a +861 parlay hiding in plain sight.

The NHL returns from the Olympic break with two late-night Pacific Division clashes that carry playoff implications. The money is pouring in lopsidedly — 91% backing San Jose’s Macklin Celebrini and the Sharks, while 94% of the public dollar is chasing Connor McDavid and the Oilers in Los Angeles. But here’s the thing — both the Kings AND the Oilers are playing the second game of back-to-back sets, both lost the previous night, and sharp steam signals on the cheat sheet are painting a very different picture than the public.

Tonight’s NHL slate is loaded with opportunity. We focused on four late games, dozens of sharp angles, and the smart money is already moving — are you on the right side?
