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
Saturday NHL Free play. My selection is on Carolina +1.5 goals over Florida at 8 pm et on Saturday.
The Panthers have taken the first two games of this series in blowout fashion but I look for the Hurricanes to finally offer some resistance in Game 3 on Saturday. Needless to say, this is virtually a must-win situation for the Canes as they look to avoid an 0-3 series hole against the defending Stanley Cup champions. Note that Carolina has now lost consecutive games for the first time in these playoffs. Florida checks in off three straight wins. It hasn't posted four wins in a row since a six-game winning streak way back in late February-early March. On the injury front, the Panthers lost Sam Reinhart to a lower-body injury in Game 2 and it's doubtful he'll be able to return on Saturday. Seth Jarvis suffered an injury for the Canes but it sounds like he will be able to play on Saturday. Look for a tightly-contested affair on Saturday in Sunrise. Take Carolina +1.5 goals.

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR SATURDAY, 5/24:
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 Saturday is with Over the Total in the game between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Florida Panthers. Carolina (55-33-6) has lost the first two games of the Eastern Conference Finals after their 5-0 loss in Game Two on Thursday. The Hurricanes have played 8 of their last 13 games Over the Total after losing two games in a row. They have also played 6 of their last 10 games on the road Over the Total against teams who are winning 51-60% of their games. Florida (57-35-4) has played 6 straight Game Threes in a playoff series Over the Total. And while Carolina averages 31.7 shots per game, the Panthers have played 7 of their last 11 home games Over the Total against teams who generate 29.5 or more shots per game. Take the Over. Best of luck — Frank.
