We open up NHL predictions with our featured game between the Boston Bruins and the Philadelphia Flyers. Boston is expected to give Joonas Korpisalo the start in this game but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. The Bruins are 6-3-1 in their previous 10 games but have dropped two consecutive games entering this matchup. Viktor Arvidsson has four goals and nine points in the team’s last 10 games.

Daniel Vladar is the projected starter for the Flyers, who are 7-3 in their last 10 games. This includes an important win over the New York Islanders on Friday night. Philadelphia is in the jumble of teams that are on 88 points in the Eastern Conference. Owen Tippett has four goals and six points in the Flyers’ last 10 games.

This is an important matchup for both teams. However, Boston picks up the win in the final meeting between the two teams.

Prediction: Bruins win 4-2.
