It is a small slate of action this Wednesday in the NHL with only two games, so let’s take a look at what looks good. Here are some of our favorite bets from the guys on “The Stew with JT Brew” podcast, which airs its “NHL Around the Ice” segment every Wednesday night on Total Apex Sports YouTube channel. Here are the best bets and player props for February 28, 2024.
Best Bets and Player Props for February 28, 2024
Columbus Blue Jackets (+200) @ New York Rangers (-245) – 7:00 PM EST
Over/Under 6.5 (-110)
The New York Rangers host the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight and will be looking for revenge. The Blue Jackets shocked the Rangers in Columbus just three nights ago 4-2. That loss broke a 10-game winning streak for New York.
During their 10-game win streak, the Rangers outscored their opponents 41-19. They have been extremely hot this month. New York leads the Metropolitan Division with 81 points, while Columbus is last in the Metropolitan Division with 48 points.
Artemi Panarin has been hot for the Rangers with nine assists in the last six games.
2-Pick Parlay – Rangers ML (-245) and Artemi Panarin over 0.5 assists (-190) combined (-115) on Draft Kings.
St. Louis Blues (+230) @ Edmonton Oilers (-285) – 8:30 PM EST
Over/Under 6.5 (-110)
With only two games tonight in the NHL, gamblers may just blow off this small slate and wait for tomorrow’s 12 games to place their bets. However, anytime the Oilers are at home, there is a great opportunity to win some cash ahead of the action on Thursday night. The Oilers host the Blues and look to score a win in what has been an even matchup over the past few seasons between these two clubs. The Oilers snapped their home skid with a win against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. On the other side of the ice, the Blues have gotten off to a rough start on their current road trip, losing to the Detroit Red Wings 6-1 and to the Winnipeg Jets 4-2.
Jordan Binnington takes the net for the Blues tonight against the Oiler’s Stuart Skinner. Binnington got rocked by the Wings and at home by the Nashville Predators on February 17. Goals have come in quick bunches against him.
The Oilers’ Conner McDavid continues his assist tear, with muti-assist games in 8 of his last 10. Zach Hyman looks to continue his goal streak tonight, as he has lit the lamp six times in the last 5 games for Edmonton.
3 Pick Parlay – Edmonton ML (-298), Edmonton over 2.5 team goals (-400), Conner McDavid (EDM) over 0.5 Assists (-245), for (-135) on Draft Kings.
Gamblers should look to create a same-game parlay with St. Louis and Edmonton and look to tack on another leg from the Rangers game to push a bet over to even money. Here are two of our favorite Parlays.
Play of the Day
4 Pick Parlay – Edmonton ML, Edmonton Over 2.5 Total Team Goals, Conner McDavid (EDM) Anytime Assist, and NY Rangers ML (+145) on Draft Kings.
Secondary Play of the Day
2-Pick Parlay – Zach Hyman (EDM) Anytime Goal (-105) and Artemi Panarin (NYR) Over 0.5 Assists (+197) on Draft Kings.
