NHL Predictions Today: Odds, Picks & Best Bets for Tuesday, Oct. 6
Tuesday's NHL slate has 9 games on tap, providing plenty of betting value for my NHL predictions today. Notable matchups include the Carolina Hurricanes vs. Montreal Canadiens, Vegas Golden Knights vs. Seattle Kraken, and Minnesota Wild vs. Buffalo Sabres.
My primary NHL best bet tonight is the Hurricanes vs. Canadiens goal total under. Brandon Bussi is Carolina's starting netminder tonight, having previously led the Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup victory and allowing 6 goals in 4 starts against Vegas. I've got another goal total and a moneyline favorite to tail for my two additional NHL picks.

NHL best bet today
Hurricanes vs. Canadiens Under 6.5 (-120 via DraftKings)
The Hurricanes and Canadiens are very familiar with each other. Carolina rattled off 4 straight wins in last year's playoff series.
Tonight's goaltending is expected to feature Bussi and Jakub Dobes, with Bussi playing a big role in betting on Under 6.5. The goal total under has cashed in 11 of Carolina's previous 13 matchups against Eastern Conference opponents.
Carolina has scored 5 total goals across 3 games played this season. Expect a physical, low-scoring affair at Bell Centre tonight.
Go to DraftKings and bet Under 6.5 at -120 odds.
📡 SBR Edge: Overtime Leads To Unders
The Canadiens have gone under the goal total line in 6 straight games following an overtime finish.

The Devils have won 5 consecutive games played against Central Division opponents, including 4 straight against Western Conference opponents. New Jersey also has an extra day of rest to their advantage in tonight's matchup.

Senators vs. Red Wings Under 6.5 (-145 via DraftKings)
The undefeated Senators play the second half of a back-to-back tonight, leaving Boston with a 4-1 win over the Bruins, heading to Detroit to take on the Red Wings. Ottawa will likely roll out Samuel Ersson (3.00 GAA) against John Gibson (2.07 GAA) in the crease for this game.
