NHL Predictions<\/h3>\n

St Louis Blues vs Boston Bruins<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Blues 0-1 Bruins<\/h4>\n

TV:<\/strong> NESN; Bally Sports Midwest; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our opening and featured game of NHL predictions has the Blues taking on the Bruins in a rematch of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final. St Louis is expected to go with Jordan Binnington<\/a> in goal, but always check social media<\/a> before locking in a daily fantasy starter. The Blues have lost three straight and got shutout 3-0 by the New York Rangers<\/a> on Saturday night. Pavel Buchnevich<\/a><\/span> is first in goals with 24 while Robert Thomas<\/a> leads in assists with 49.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Swayman<\/a> is the expected starter for the Bruins, who are 5-1-4 in the last 10 games. Boston has played better in the back-half of the 10-game stretch. David Pastrnak<\/a> leads the team in goals (40) and assists (53) in his chase to get another 100-point season. The Bruins are in the top seven of goals for, goals allowed, power play and penalty kill rating.<\/p>\n

There will be no “Gloria” played tonight for St Louis fans. Boston didn’t do a lot at the deadline, but it seems to be galvanized in recent games.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Bruins win 5-2.<\/em><\/p>\n

New Jersey Devils vs New York Rangers<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Devils 0-2 Rangers<\/h4>\n

TV:<\/strong> MSG; MSGSN; NHL Network<\/p>\n

The New Jersey Devils<\/a> travel across the Hudson River to battle the Rangers for the third time this season. Newly acquired goalie Jake Allen<\/a> could make his Devils debut against the Blueshirts. New Jersey needs to get moving if it wants to make some sort of push for the post-season. The Devils are six back of the Philadelphia Flyers for the last spot, but have a game in hand. Jesper Bratt<\/a><\/span> leads the team in goals (22) and assists (42) this campaign.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Quick<\/a> is the confirmed starter with New York having back-to-back games. The Rangers are 7-2-1 in the last 10 games and are coming off a great performance against the Blues on Saturday. Artemi Panarin<\/a><\/span> leads in goals (32) and assists (57) so far this 2023-24 season. The Rangers are fifth on the power play and the penalty kill.<\/p>\n

New Jersey needs points to stay alive, but the Rangers need points to hold off the Carolina Hurricanes. The Blueshirts get a close one.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Rangers win 3-2.<\/em><\/p>\n

New York Islanders vs Los Angeles Kings<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Islanders 1-0 Kings<\/h4>\n

TV:<\/strong> MSGSN; Bally Sports West; Sportsnet; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our final main game of today’s NHL predictions has the New York Islanders<\/a> looking to add to their six-game winning streak. General manager Lou Lamoriello may not have done anything at the trade deadline, but getting Patrick Roy<\/a> may have saved the Isles season. The team is playing much harder and charging towards a post-season berth. Brock Nelson<\/a> leads the way in goals for the Islanders with 29.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Kings<\/a> are expected to go with Cam Talbot<\/a><\/span> in between the pipes. Los Angeles is 5-4-1 in the last 10 games, but tied with the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> for the last automatic spot in the West. Trevor Moore<\/a> leads the team in goals while Kevin Fiala<\/a> has 36 assist.<\/p>\n

LA is usually good at home, but the Isles have been red-hot.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Islanders win 5-3.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here is the other game for today’s NHL predictions.<\/p>\n

Washington Capitals vs Winnipeg Jets<\/h3>\n

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

TV:<\/strong> Monument Sports Network; Sportsnet; ESPN+<\/p>\n

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