NHL public betting, line movement for August 7
Patrick Everson

Max Domi and the 12th-seeded Canadiens can knock out the fifth-seeded Penguins in Friday's Game 4 of their qualifying-round series. However, Caesars has Pittsburgh a -160 favorite.

NHL betting odds hit the board for Friday’s six qualifying-round games, as the revamped NHL playoffs resume in the double bubble. Among the noteworthy matchups is Penguins vs. Canadiens, with Pittsburgh playing for its postseason life in Game 4 of the best-of-5 series.

Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on NHL opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Friday’s contests.

NHL line movement

Pittsburgh blew a 3-1 second-period lead in Game 3 against Montreal, ultimately losing 4-3 as the Canadiens took a 2-1 series lead. Still, Caesars books opened Penguins -160/Canadiens +145 in a 4 p.m. ET faceoff, and there was no line movement Thursday night.

The Blue Jackets notched a 4-3 overtime victory against the Maple Leafs on Thursday, and there’s no rest as the two teams meet in Game 4 Friday. Columbus can clinch the series in this 8 p.m. ET puck drop. Caesars held off on posting the moneyline Thursday night.

The Blackhawks can also advance with a Game 4 victory over the Oilers. However, Caesars pegged Edmonton a -125 favorite, with Chicago +110 in a 6:45 p.m. ET meeting.

NHL public betting

Consensus can often help discern where the public is, and it appears the desperate Penguins are the play, getting 67 percent of early picks. Oilers-Blackhawks was a little closer to two-way play, with Edmonton seeing 59 percent of early picks in Consensus.
