NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Florida Panthers vs New York Rangers<\/h3>\n

Time:<\/strong> 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> MSG; Scripps Florida; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our first and featured game of NHL predictions is a rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals. Florida is expected to go with Sergei Bobrovsky<\/a> in goal. However, always check social media before locking in a fantasy goalie. The Panthers are coming off a 5-1 loss to the Minnesota Wild<\/a> on Tuesday. Sam Reinhart<\/a> and Sam Bennett<\/a> are tied for first in goals so far this season. However, Reinhart is tops in points with 12.<\/p>\n

Igor Shesterkin<\/a> is the expected starter for the Rangers, who are off to one of their best starts in franchise history. The Blueshirts are coming off a 7-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens<\/a> last time out. Artemi Panarin<\/a> is leading the way in goals (7) and assists (13) in the early portion of the campaign. Vincent Trocheck<\/a> and Adam Fox<\/a> are tied for second in points with seven.<\/p>\n

Florida will be looking for a bounce-back performance. However, the Rangers have been one of the best teams in the league.<\/p>\n

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

Colorado Avalanche vs Utah Hockey Club<\/h3>\n

Time:<\/strong> 9 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> Utah16; Altitude; ESPN+<\/p>\n

It’s the first installment of the Rocky Mountain rivalry between the Colorado Avalanche<\/a> and Utah Hockey Club.<\/a> The embattled Alexandar Georgiev<\/a> is the projected starter for Colorado, which has won three in a row. Ross Colton<\/a> is off to a great start with six goals, but Cale Makar<\/a> leads in points with 14.<\/p>\n

Utah is expected to run with Connor Ingram<\/a> in between the pipes. However, defence may be a struggle with John Marino<\/a> and Sean Durzi<\/a> out for months due to injuries. Dylan Guenther<\/a> leads the club in goals, but they’ve been hard to come by in recent games. Clayton Keller<\/a> is first in points with eight.<\/p>\n

The atmosphere at the Delta Center, but Colorado seems to be on the right track.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Avalanche win 5-4.<\/em><\/p>\n

Winnipeg Jets vs Seattle Kraken<\/h3>\n

Time:<\/strong> 10 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> KHN; KONG; TSN3; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our final game of NHL predictions has the Winnipeg Jets<\/a> facing the Seattle Kraken.<\/a> Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> is the likely starter for the red-hot Jets, who are a perfect 6-0. Mark Scheifele<\/a> is tops in goals with five and tied for first in points with eight. Nikolaj Ehlers<\/a> is the joint-leader with Scheifele in points with eight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seattle is slated to go with Joey Daccord<\/a> in goal, who is a perfect 3-0 this season. Captain Jordan Eberle<\/a> is leading the team in goals with five while Jared McCann<\/a> is first in points so far with nine.<\/p>\n

The Jets have been great this season, but the Kraken find the way at home.<\/p>\n

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

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

We have a couple of prop bets for this set of Thursday games for NHL predictions. In the second game, Mikko Rantanen<\/a> seems like a solid play at +130 on FanDuel<\/a> for an anytime goal scorer.<\/p>\n

For the final game of the night, the over\/under is 5.5 at BetMGM<\/a>. We’ll take the Jets and Kraken hitting the under on this at +100.<\/p>\n
