NHL public betting, line movement for August 5
Patrick Everson

Sidney Crosby and the Penguins are tied at 1 in their best-of-5 NHL playoff series with the Canadiens. Pittsburgh is a -170 favorite in Wednesday's Game 3, with Montreal a +155 underdog.

NHL betting odds continue to attract attention, as the revamped playoffs roll out six Wednesday games. The schedule includes a couple of key matchups in round-robin playoff seeding, as well as Game 3 of the Penguins-Canadiens best-of-5 qualifying series.

Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on NHL opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Wednesday’s contests. Covers will update this action report with NHL sharp picks vs. public bets and line movement throughout the day.

NHL line movement

Pittsburgh rebounded from a Game 1 loss to Montreal with a 3-1 Game 2 victory Monday and now aims to get the upper hand in this best-of-5 series. The Penguins opened -165 favorites Tuesday night at Caesars books and quickly moved to -170, with the Canadiens +155 for an 8 p.m. ET faceoff.

The Lightning and Bruins meet in each team’s second game of a three-game round-robin to determine seeding among the top four teams in the Eastern Conference. Boston is narrow -110 chalk to Tampa Bay’s -105, and there was no line movement by late Tuesday for this 4 p.m. ET start.

In the Western Conference round-robin, the Avalanche opened -125 against the Stars (+110), and that matchup also had no movement by late Tuesday for a 6:30 p.m. ET puck drop.

NHL public betting

It's clear the Penguins are the early public play in this contest. Pittsburgh was seeing 66 percent of moneyline picks Tuesday night.
