NHL | Seattle Kraken vs Wild
Play on: OVER 6 -101

ASA NHL Free Play On OVER 6 goals in Minnesota Wild vs Seattle Kraken at 7 PM ET, Thursday - The Wild and Kraken both missing out on the post-season. Seattle has allowed 3.5 goals per game last 4 games. Minnesota has allowed about 4 goals per game last 4 games. Wild are finally back home after a lengthy road trip and will want to close the season, though disappointing with no post-season, by at least notching a win in their season finale on home ice. The Kraken lost the 2 meetings so far this season by a combined score of 8 to 2. In an otherwise meaningless season finale, Seattle's double-revenge motive and Minnesota's motivation to close out strong at home should lead to an entertaining match-up here. Look for more goals than you would normally see between these teams in a normal season setting. Fleury expected to start for the Wild and he has allowed at least 4 goals in 4 of last 5 starts! Take a look at the OVER in this one for your Free Play Thursday

Thursday NHL Free play. My selection is on Winnipeg over Vancouver at 8:05 pm et on Thursday.

Both of these teams already know who they'll be facing in the first round of the playoffs and I suspect Thursday's matchup will have a bit of a preseason feel to it. With that said, I like the Jets to keep their long winning streak intact as they look to head into their showdown with the mighty Avalanche with a full head of steam. The Canucks are coming off back-to-back wins over the Oilers and Flames including a decisive 4-1 victory on home ice two nights ago. This is of course a game where they'll simply be looking to stay healthy heading into the postseason. Note that Vancouver is 9-14 (-9.1 net games) when coming off consecutive wins by two goals or more over the last three seasons, as is the case here. Winnipeg is 9-5 (+2.7 net games) when seeking revenge for a shutout loss against an opponent over the same stretch. Take Winnipeg.

NHL | Oilers vs Avalanche
Play on: UNDER 6½ +104

The Edmonton Oilers defense is better than they are given credit for overall. The Oilers have allowed 2 goals or fewer in regulation in five of their last seven games. The Oilers have been doing a far better job killing penalties than they did in the past. Colorado's offense has scored two goals or fewer in five of their last ten contests. Two of the last three meetings between these teams have stayed under this total. I think 6.5 is too high here. Take the under.
