Best NHL trades for Wednesday, April 22

  • Penguins to win vs. Flyers
  • Stars to win vs. Wild
  • Ducks-Oilers less than 6.5 goals

Penguins to win vs. Flyers

The Penguins are on the ropes against their in-state rivals. The Flyers took Games 1 and 2 in Pittsburgh and now return home with a commanding 2-0 series lead and home-ice advantage for the rest of this series. The Penguins will need to rebound quickly in order to keep their hopes of advancing alive. These teams each won one game apiece in Philadelphia this regular season, with the Penguins winning once in regulation and the Flyers taking the other matchup via shootout. The Penguins win in 61% of the model's simulations, and you can buy shares of a Pittsburgh win at 49 cents each. 

Stars to win vs. Wild

The Stars entered the postseason as a top contender in the Western Conference, but they were stunned 6-1 by the Wild in Dallas to begin their first-round series. The Stars were able to rebound with a 4-2 win in Game 2, and the series now heads to Minnesota where the Wild took both of their two home games from Dallas during the regular season. Dallas wins Game 3 in 56% of the SportsLine model's simulations, and a Stars win is trading at 47 cents per share at Kalshi. 

Ducks-Oilers less than 6.5 goals

While the other two NHL playoff games on Wednesday are Game 3 clashes, the Ducks and Oilers face off in Game 2 in Edmonton in the third and final game of the day. The Oilers have made the Stanley Cup Finals each of the last two years, falling both times to the Florida Panthers. Edmonton is aiming to win its first Cup since 1990, and be the first Canadian franchise to win it all since the 1993 Montreal Canadiens. These teams combined for seven goals in Game 1, but the model thinks they combine for fewer than 6.5 goals on Wednesday. Less than 6.5 total goals is priced at 45 cents per share.
