They also have the league&#8217;s worst penalty kill (62.5%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calgary isn&#8217;t a world-beater by any means but it&#8217;s been solid at home (4-2-0) and is riding the momentum of a 3-0 win over the Devils on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>NHL picks made at 10:39 a.m. ET 11\/03\/2024.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One total and an underdog moneyline pick make up my NHL best bets for Sunday.
