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.

Best NHL Hockey Free Bets & Picks for Today's Games
Sean Murphy
Wednesday NHL Free play. My selection is on Colorado over Dallas at 8 pm et on Wednesday.
Teams facing elimination certainly haven't been going away quietly in this round of the NHL Playoffs. On the heels of three straight losses, I look for the Avalanche to answer back as they sit on the brink of elimination on Wednesday as well. Note that Colorado is 7-1 (+5.1 net games) when coming off three straight games in which it allowed four goals or more this season, as is the case here. The Avs are also a long-term 28-15 (+2.3 net games) when coming off a home defeat. Meanwhile, Dallas is just 4-9 (-8.9 net games) when coming off a game in which it scored four goals or more against a divisional foe over the last three seasons. The Stars are also 3-7 (-10.0 net games) after securing a victory by four goals or more in their previous contest this season. Take Colorado.
