Hockey fans, get ready for an action-packed night in the NHL! Four thrilling matchups hit the ice on March 26, 2025, featuring powerhouse teams like the Devils, Canucks, Stars, and Bruins. With playoff races heating up, every point matters, here’s what to expect in tonight’s battles.
New Jersey Devils at Chicago Blackhawks – 7:30 PM EST
BEST BET: Puck Line: Devils -1.5 (+115)
New Jersey has covered this spread in recent wins against Chicago (e.g., 4-1 on December 14), and a two-goal margin aligns with their scoring potential against a weak defense.
Proposition Bets: 1st Period OVER 1.5 Goals (+105)
Prediction: The first period ends with a 1-1 tie. The Devils capitalize on Chicago’s shaky defense early, but the Blackhawks respond with a goal from a player like Connor Bedard or Ryan Donato, who’ve been active offensively.
Proposition Bets: Timo Meier (Devils) to Score Anytime (+155)
Meier has been red-hot with seven goals in March and scored in the last Devils-Blackhawks matchup. Chicago’s defense struggles against skilled forwards, making this a strong value bet.
Proposition Bets: Connor Bedard (Blackhawks) Over 0.5 Points (-125)
Bedard leads Chicago with 56 points and is likely to contribute, especially after a multi-point game against Philly. He’s a focal point of their offense.
Vancouver Canucks at New York Islanders – 7:30 PM EST
BEST BET: Vancouver Canucks to Win Money Line (+105)
Vancouver’s value as a slight underdog is appealing. Their road underdog streak against the Islanders and current desperation for points make them a solid pick at plus money.
BEST BET: DRAW in regulation (60 minutes result) at (+285)
This should be relatively close game, and we will not be surprised if goes to Overtime, plus the price is very attractive.
BEST BET: OVER 5.5 Goals (+117)
Public bettors expecting low scoring encounter, they move the UNDER 5.5 Goals odds to -135, and they might be right. However we are taking value price, supported by trend, and we are betting on at least 6 goals total in this game. Keep in mind, 21 of last 29 games between those two teams went OVER, and 6 of them pushed. Over record is 21-6-2 in last 29 games, and we hope for some goals tonight.
Proposition Bets: Brock Boeser (Canucks) to Score Anytime (+180)
Boeser’s in form, with 5 goals in his last 4 games, and he’s tied for the Canucks’ lead with 23 goals. He’s a prime candidate to find the net against an Islanders defense he’s historically troubled (2 goals in his last 3 games vs. NYI).
Proposition Bets: Bo Horvat (NY Islanders) to Score Anytime (+200)
Horvat has 24 goals this season and a point streak against Vancouver, his former team. Playing at home with extra motivation, he’s a strong prop bet at this price
Proposition Bets: Quinn Hughes (Canucks) Over 0.5 Assists (-110)
Hughes leads the Canucks with 51 assists and thrives on the power play. If Vancouver scores, he’s likely involved, making this a near-even-money gem. Active in offense Hughes recorded 4 assists in last 4 games, we would love him to keep this average.
Dallas Stars at Edmonton Oilers – 10:00 PM EST
BEST BET: Dallas Stars to Win (-125) Money Line
Proposition Bets: DRAW in regulation (60 minutes result) at (+320)
Proposition Bets: Dallas Stars to Win 1st Period (-125) Money Line
Dallas Stars ability to score through multiple lines (e.g., Matt Duchene, Wyatt Johnston) while Oettinger limits Edmonton’s chances. The Oilers, leaning on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman, might muster 2 goals, but their lack of top-end talent makes a higher output unlikely. This score fits a low-to-mid scoring game, consistent with Dallas’ defensive structure and Edmonton’s current state.
Proposition Bets: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (Oilers) to Score a Goal (+230)
Nugent-Hopkins had a hat trick last game and is Edmonton’s go-to scorer without McDavid/Draisaitl. At +230, it’s a solid value bet for their top offensive threat.
Proposition Bets: Matt Duchene to Score a Point (-110)
Reasoning: Duchene is on a five-game point streak, with 5 points in his last five games, and 3 in 4 against Edmonton. He’s thriving on Dallas’ second line and likely to exploit Edmonton’s weakened defense.
Boston Bruins at Anaheim Ducks – 10:00 PM EST
BEST BET: Anaheim Ducks to Win (-130) Money Line
This is straight bet against the Bruins, they lost six straight games (0-5-1), including the first three of a five-game road trip after a 7-2 drubbing Sunday at the Los Angeles Kings.
BEST BET: Anaheim Ducks -1.5 Puck Line at (+200)
Boston has lost 5 of their last 6 games by 2+ goals, and Anaheim could exploit this trend. The +200 odds offer value for a Ducks team likely to win by at least 2.
Proposition Bets: Anaheim Ducks to Win 1st Period (-120) Money Line
The Bruins have struggled recently, losing six straight games (0-6 SU) as of the latest updates, with a particularly poor road record (1-6 SU in their last 7 road games). Their offense has been lackluster, averaging just 2.64 goals per game this season, and they’ve scored only 8 goals in their last 5 games. Meanwhile, the Ducks, playing at home, have shown some resilience, averaging 2.64 goals per game but generating a decent shot volume (26th in the league with 1,923 shots). The Ducks also have a strong historical edge at home against Boston (8-4 SU in their last 12 home games vs. the Bruins). Given Boston’s current form and Anaheim’s tendency to start games with energy at home, a 1-0 Ducks lead after the first period is plausible.
