A Wild trend in Edmonton highlights this weekend's NHL betting predictions and picks
Monty Andrews

Visits to Edmonton have been quite beneficial for the Minnesota Wild – not to mention bettors who put their faith in them. Their latest showdown in the Alberta capital highlights an action-packed three-day schedule that includes a faceoff between two teams that have seen plenty of second-period goals, a team from the Sunshine State that can't seem to hold a lead, and an Original Six pairing that has been one-sided in recent years. Here's a breakdown of the key games and trends to monitor this weekend:

One Wild Trend

The Minnesota Wild have been pretty good for a while now but can't seem to get over the hump. Perhaps more games in Edmonton would do the trick. The Wild look to extend one of the most incredible road trends in the league as they head to Rogers Place for a Friday showdown with the Oilers. Minnesota comes into the game having won 14 of its previous 16 visits to Edmonton while holding the Oilers to two or fewer goals 12 times over that span. Oddsmakers have the Oilers as ever-so-slight -115 favorites – and bettors should take advantage by leaning toward the visitors here.

Don't Miss Period 2

If you can only watch one period of Saturday's encounter between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Ottawa Senators, make sure it's the middle one. Both teams rank inside the top-12 in goals scored in the second period entering Thursday night, with Ottawa at 33 goals and the Penguins close behind at 31. But they've also hemorrhaged scoring in the middle frame, with the Senators having allowed a league-high 41 goals and Pittsburgh ranked fifth-worst at 36. Bettors might want to consider taking the second period as the highest-scoring stanza of the game, given the prevailing trends for both teams.

Lead? What Lead?

You can forgive Florida Panthers fans and bettors for being frustrated with the team's performance to date. The Panthers enter the weekend having been downright dreadful when leading after one period, with just two victories against two regulation losses and five extra-time defeats. That 22.2-percent win rate is far and away the worst in the NHL heading into Saturday's meeting with the New York Rangers. And while they might not be "fortunate" enough to lead after one period in that one, it's certainly a trend that bears monitoring until the Panthers find a way to reverse their fortunes.

Montreal Massacred

Original Six matchups are always a treat – but Montreal Canadiens fans might not agree with that assertion when games against the Chicago Blackhawks are involved. The Canadiens will be looking to build on a 2-0 victory over the Blackhawks from their previous meeting Nov. 6 of last season, a triumph that ended Chicago's eight-game winning streak in the head-to-head series. Even with the win, Montreal continued its run of poor offensive efforts against the Blackhawks, having scored just 15 goals in their previous nine meetings. Consider the Blackhawks and the under, a combo that has connected six times over that span.

Goalie Profile

Connor Hellebuyck, Winnipeg Jets: While the Jets remain one of the most well-rounded teams in the NHL, they could certainly use some improvement in goal, where Hellebuyck hasn't been able to replicate the success enjoyed last season. Hellebuyck enters Friday's game against the St. Louis Blues boasting a 2.97 goals-against average and .904 save percentage, well below his numbers from last season (2.36, .924) – and while his performance hasn't cost the Jets so far, they'll need him to be sharper if they hope to cash in on their +1,300 odds of winning the Cup. On the plus side, Winnipeg has been a red-hot over play of late, going 7-1-1 O/U in its last nine.

Injury Update

The Carolina Hurricanes are on the hunt for more offense – and it doesn't help that they'll be without one of their best two-way forwards for Friday's game against the host Anaheim Ducks. Center Jordan Staal suffered a concussion in the third period of Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks and is out indefinitely. And while Staal's absence won't make or break Carolina's offensive fortunes – he has just 11 points on the year – the Hurricanes are much better off when he's involved, having gone 6-1-1 SU when he records at least one point. Carolina has just four goals in its past five games, going 1-4-0 over that stretch.

Hat Trick Trends

Road favorites tend to yield better payouts than their home counterparts – and that has meant a tidy profit for betters who have played the road faves over the past seven days. Entering Thursday, those teams have gone an incredible 13-4-0 SU, good for a 76.5-percent win rate. Road favorites are now converting at close to 57 percent for the season.

Looking for a solid player prop this weekend? Consider taking David Pastrnak to score against Toronto when the Bruins welcome the Maple Leafs to town on Saturday. Pastrnak has 10 goals in 13 career regular-season games vs. the Maple Leafs, and struck five times in the seven-game playoff series between the teams last spring.

The Eastern Conference has become a two-team race in oddsmakers' eyes, with the Maple Leafs and Tampa Bay Lightning both boasting +375 odds to win the Stanley Cup – the best of any teams in the league. The Nashville Predators own the best odds of any Western Conference team at +650. The defending-champion Washington Capitals are listed at +1,700.
