NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Edmonton Oilers vs Detroit Red Wings<\/h3>\n

Time:<\/strong> 6 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> Sportsnet; Fan Duel Sports-Detroit; NHL Network<\/p>\n

Our first and featured game has the Red Wings hosting the Oilers. Edmonton is expected to start Stuart Skinner<\/a> in goal, but check social media before locking in a fantasy starter. The Oilers are coming off a 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> last time out. Leon Draisaitl<\/a> <\/span>is leading the team in goals while Connor McDavid<\/a> is tops in points with eight.<\/p>\n

Detroit is coming a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres<\/a> on Saturday. Cam Talbot<\/a> is the expected starter with Alex Lyon<\/a> starting the day before in Western New York. Alex DeBrincat<\/a> is first in goals with four while Lucas Raymond<\/a> is the team’s leader in points with eight.<\/p>\n

Both teams are feeling the weight of varied expectations. However, the Oilers have a little more firepower to get the victory.<\/p>\n

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

Anaheim Ducks vs New Jersey Devils<\/h3>\n

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

TV:<\/strong> KCOP-TV; MSGSN; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our second game of NHL predictions has the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> visiting the New Jersey Devils<\/a>. James Reimer<\/a> is likely to get the start with Lukas Dostal<\/a> got the start against the New York Rangers<\/a> the night before. Troy Terry<\/a> is first in goals (4) and points (6) while Mason McTavish<\/a> is leading in assists with four.<\/p>\n

The Devils have been reeling with four straight losses after getting off to a 5-0-2 start. Jacob Markstrom<\/a> is the likely starter for New Jersey, which has struggled on the defensive end in recent games. Nico Hischier<\/a> and Jesper Bratt<\/a> are the joint-leaders in points with 11, but Hischier is off to a solid start with eight goals. <\/span><\/p>\n

Anaheim did well to keep pace with the Rangers. However, New Jersey is hungry for a win.<\/p>\n

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

Montreal Canadiens vs Philadelphia Flyers<\/h3>\n

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

TV:<\/strong> NBC Sports Philadelphia; TSN2; RDS; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our final game of NHL predictions has the Montreal Canadiens squaring off with the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a>. Cayden Primeau<\/a> is the confirmed starter for the Habs after winning Saturday night against the St Louis Blues<\/a>. Cole Caufield<\/a> is first in goals with seven while Nick Suzuki<\/a> has the most points on the team with nine.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia is coming off its first win of the season in a high-scoring victory over the Minnesota Wild<\/a>. This game against Montreal could see the debut<\/a> of Alexei Kolosov after he was called up from AHL Lehigh Valley. Matvei Michkov<\/a> is on top of the team’s goal charts with four. However, Travis Konecny<\/a> is first in points with nine.<\/p>\n
