NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Detroit Red Wings<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Maple Leafs 0-0 Red Wings<\/h4>\n

TV:<\/strong> NHL Network; Bally Sports Detroit; TSN4<\/p>\n

Our featured game of NHL predictions is another matchup in the NHL Global Series. Ilya Samsonov<\/a><\/span> is the likely starter, but always check social media before locking in a fantasy goalie. Also note the early start time when setting your daily lineups. This game will go off at 2 p.m. Eastern Time. Auston Matthews<\/a><\/span> and William Nylander<\/a> are both off to red-hot starts for the Maple Leafs.<\/p>\n

[cta id=591 type=cta]<\/p>\n

Detroit will roll with Alex Lyon<\/a> in net for the Red Wings, who rallied for an overtime-point against the Ottawa Senators<\/a>. Alex DeBrincat<\/a> has 11 goals in his first season with the Red Wings. Dylan Larkin<\/a> has 12 helpers to lead the team in that category.<\/p>\n

It’s going to be tough for Detroit to bounce back after a tough game against a good Toronto team. If you feel like a prop bet tonight, a point or goal play on William Nylander could be worth a look if you’re feeling adventurous.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Maple Leafs win 4-3.<\/em><\/p>\n

Buffalo Sabres vs Winnipeg Jets<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Sabres 0-0 Jets<\/h4>\n

TV:<\/strong> NHL Network; MSG-Buffalo; TSN3<\/p>\n

Eric Comrie<\/a> is the likely starter for the Buffalo Sabres<\/a> in this matchup against the Winnipeg Jets.<\/a> Buffalo has lost two straight games and three of its last five games. The Sabres are going to be without Tage Thompson<\/a> for a while and that will hurt their offence. Buffalo had plenty of promise going into the season, but injuries and inconsistent play have hurt them.<\/p>\n

Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> is the projected starter in between the pipes for the Jets, who have wins in four of the last five games. Kyle Connor<\/a> has 13 goals this campaign for the Jets, while Josh Morrissey<\/a> has a baker’s dozen of assists. Winnipeg has steadied themselves after a slow start to the season.<\/span><\/p>\n

The injuries have come at a bad time for the Sabres and that will show for them against the a streaking Jets side.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Jets win 4-1.<\/em><\/p>\n

Florida Panthers vs Anaheim Ducks<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Panthers 0-0 Ducks<\/h4>\n

TV:<\/strong> Bally Sports Sunshine; Bally Sports West<\/p>\n

Our last game of NHL predictions has the Florida Panthers<\/a> taking on the Anaheim Ducks.<\/a> Anthony Stolarz<\/a><\/span> is the projected starter in between the pipes for the Cats. Florida had their recent winning-streak stopped in a 2-1 loss to the Los Angeles Kings<\/a> last time out. The Panthers have been playing well despite not having Brandon Montour<\/a> and Aaron Ekblad<\/a>. Sam Reinhart<\/a> has 13 goals while Matthew Tkachuk<\/a> has 14 assists for the Panthers this campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anaheim has been one of the surprise teams of the season already. John Gibson<\/a> is the projected starter for the Ducks, who are smarting after an 8-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche<\/a> the last time out. Frank Vatrano<\/a> is the surprise leader in goals with 11 tallies while Ryan Strome<\/a> has 12 assists for the club.<\/p>\n

Florida has played very well despite the loss of key players. Anaheim has come back to down to earth a little bit. The Panthers should pick up the win in this one.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Panthers win 4-2.<\/em><\/p>\n
