NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Chicago Blackhawks vs St Louis Blues<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Blackhawks 1-2 Blues<\/h4>\n

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

Our opening game of NHL predictions has the St Louis Blues<\/a> fighting for their post-season lives against the Chicago Blackhawks<\/a>. Petr Mrazek<\/a> is the confirmed starter for the Blackhawks, who are 5-5 in the last 10 games. Nick Foligno<\/a> will miss this game against St Louis due to personal reasons, but should be back for Friday. Connor Bedrard leads the team in goals with 22 while Seth Jones<\/a> has four goals and one assist over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

St Louis needs to win out and hope Vegas loses out because there’s no margin for error. Jordan Binnington<\/a><\/span> is the projected starter, but always check social media<\/a> before locking in fantasy starter. The Blues are 5-3-2 in the last 10 games and beat the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> last time out. Robert Thomas<\/a> has 24 goals and 57 assists for the Blues. Brandon Saad<\/a> has scored six goals and added two assists over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

The Blues are desperate and need points. They’ll win, but it may not be enough.<\/p>\n

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

Vegas Golden Knights vs Edmonton Oilers<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Golden Knights 1-1 Oilers<\/h4>\n

TV:<\/strong> TNT; Max; Scripps; Sportsnet 1; Sportnet<\/p>\n

Our featured game has the Golden Knights looking to clinch a Stanley Cup Playoff spot in Alberta against the Oilers. Logan Thompson<\/a> is the expected starter for the Golden Knights, who are 6-3-1 in the last 10 games. However, Vegas has dropped the last two games and given teams like St Louis hope. Jonathan Marchessault<\/a> has 41 goals and 26 assists for the Golden Knights. Shea Theodore<\/a> has one goal and six assists over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

The big news is that Connor McDavid<\/a> could be out for this game due to a lower-body injury. Not having McDavid would put a dent in their chances of winning this game. Edmonton is also 6-3-1 in the last 10 games and is likely to go with Stuart Skinner<\/a> in between the pipes for this one. Zach Hyman<\/a> has 52 goals and 22 assists for the Oilers. Leon Draisaitl<\/a> has scored six goals with nine assists over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Vegas has been good at dealing with injuries and no McDavid would give the Oilers a massive problem.<\/p>\n

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

Arizona Coyotes vs Vancouver Canucks<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Coyotes 0-2 Canucks<\/h4>\n

TV:<\/strong> Scripps; Sportsnet Pacific; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our final game of NHL predictions has the Arizona Coyotes<\/a> trying to delay the Vancouver Canucks<\/a> from clinching the Pacific Division. Connor Ingram<\/a><\/span> is the expected starter for the Coyotes, who are 5-5 in the last 10 games. Arizona is dealing with some injuries to Nick Bjugstad<\/a><\/span> and Travis Dermott<\/a>. Clayton Keller<\/a> has 33 goals and 40 assists for the Coyotes. Logan Cooley<\/a> has five goals and four assists over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Casey DeSmith<\/a> is expected to get the call once again in the blue paint for the Canucks, who are 6-4 in the last 10 games. Elias Lindholm<\/a><\/span> was out of the lineup once again against Vegas the last time out. Quinn Hughes<\/a> has 17 goals and 71 assists for the Canucks. Connor Garland has five goals and five assists over the past 10 games, including two the last time out.<\/p>\n

Vancouver is starting to play better just before the end of the regular season. It’ll be another close one, though.<\/p>\n

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

Prop Bet of the Night<\/h3>\n

We’ll stay with the last game and we like the under on the six number we’ve seen. Both meetings have been 2-1 affairs and we predict another one.<\/p>\n
