The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/devils\/\" target=\"_self\">New Jersey Devils<\/a> wrap up their three-game road trip against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/hockey\/category\/coyotes\/\" target=\"_self\">Arizona Coyotes<\/a>. New Jersey has won their last two games, whereas the Coyotes are coming off a big loss to Carolina. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Big news for the Devils in this game. Prized acquisition Timo Meier could make his debut. Lindy Ruff has him on a line with Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt. After Arizona traded its two best defencemen, it could be a long day playing again those three. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Prediction: Devils defeat Coyotes 4-1<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Seattle Kraken vs Colorado Avalanche <\/span><\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Head to Head: Kraken 1-1 Avalanche <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Our featured game is between two playoff calibre teams. The Colorado Avalanche return home to take on the Seattle Kraken. Colorado is coming off a massive loss to their division rival Dallas Stars. To make matters worse, Alexander Georgiev got yanked from the game. Seattle is on a three-game winning streak and doing it all on the road. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Colorado will want to tighten up defensively. It helps Cale Makar has made his return to the lineup. However, they&#8217;ve allowed seven goals two games in a row. They&#8217;ll be facing a dangerous Seattle offence that averages 3.50 goals per game. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Colorado is back to being banged up with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailyfaceoff.com\/teams\/colorado-avalanche\/line-combinations\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">multiple key members<\/a> out of the lineup. They will be looking to get the sour-tasting loss out of their mouths, but it won&#8217;t come easy. Both teams are fighting for playoff positions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><em><span class=\"s1\">Prediction: Avalanche defeat Kraken 4-3<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main photo by: Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome back to another day of NHL Predictions.
