There is one thing to keep in mind about the free selections on this page. They are just a small taste of what our experts have to offer. While the free plays are still expected to win, they are not the strongest plays from each expert. Their best bets of the day are for their premium clients.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR WEDNESDAY, 4/24:
My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Wednesday was with the Dallas Stars with the money-line versus the Vegas Golden Knights. Dallas (52-22-9) saw their two-game winning streak snapped in a 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights in the opening game of this best-of-seven series. The Stars have won 20 of their last 28 games after allowing four or more goals in their last game. They have also won 25 of their last 39 home games with the Total set at 6 or higher. Vegas (46-29-8) has won four of their last five games — but they have lost 21 of their last 35 road games with the Total set at 6 or higher. The Golden Knights have also lost 16 of their last 24 road games after a game where seven or more combined goals were scored. Take Dallas with the money-line. Best of luck — Frank.

Dan Kaiser
This is a must win game for Dallas. They lost game 1 at home and do not want to go to Vegas down two games. Dallas was 26-15 at home this season. Jake Oettinger was terrible in the opener and will definitely need to play better if Dallas is to have a chance to win. He allowed four goals in only 15 shots on goal. Oettinger had held 10 of his previous 11 opponents to two goals or less. Dallas has won 12 of its last 15 and entered this postseason as the top seed in the West. I look for Oettenger and Dallas to bounce back and pick up a win.
Play on Dallas. This is a FREE PLAY!
