NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Dallas Stars vs Florida Panthers<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Stars 0-1 Panthers<\/h4>\n

Time:<\/strong> Noon Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> Scripps Florida; Victory; NHL Network<\/p>\n

Our first and featured game is the finale of the NHL Global Series’ trip to Finland. Florida got the win over Dallas in a wild 6-4 game where Finns reigned supreme. Fantasy owners should note the early start time for setting their respective lineups.<\/p>\n

Spencer Knight<\/a> is the expected starter with Sergei Bobrovsky<\/a> starting the night before. However, always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Aleksander Barkov<\/a> racked up four points in the victory on Friday.<\/p>\n

Casey DeSmith<\/a> will likely draw the start with the Stars starting Jake Oettinger<\/a> the night before. Esa Lindell<\/a> returned to his home country and potted a goal and an assist in a losing-effort.<\/p>\n

This should hopefully be another good game, but Dallas will manage to get the split.<\/p>\n

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

Colorado Avalanche vs Nashville Predators<\/h3>\n

Time:<\/strong> 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> Altitude2; Fan Duel Sports South; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our second game of NHL predictions is a battle of underachieving Central Division teams. The Colorado Avalanche<\/a> have been hit hard by injuries and will likely go with Justus Annunen<\/a><\/span> in between the pipes for this one. Leading goalscorer Ross Colton<\/a> is out for possibly two months, so players like Casey Mittelstadt<\/a> will have to step up. Cale Makar<\/a> is almost up to 20 points already this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Juuse Saros<\/a> is the expected starter in between the pipes for the Nashville Predators<\/a> in this one. Nashville made some big splashes in free agency, but those moves haven’t translated to victories. Filip Forsberg<\/a> is first in goals (5) and points (9) while Ryan O’Reilly<\/a> is tops in assists with (5).<\/p>\n

Both teams aren’t talented, but struggling. Nashville gets the win on home ice because of the injuries to Colorado.<\/p>\n

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

Utah Hockey Club vs Vegas Golden Knights<\/h3>\n

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

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

Our final game of NHL predictions has the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> hosting the Utah Hockey Club<\/a>. Connor Ingram<\/a> is off to a 5-2-2 start and is the expected starter for Utah HC. Clayton Keller<\/a> is tied for first in goals with Dylan Guenther<\/a> and tied for first in points with Nick Schmaltz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vegas is expected to roll with Adin Hill<\/a> in goal for this game. The Golden Knights are leading the pack in the Pacific Division thanks to Ivan Barbashev<\/a>‘s team-leading seven goals. Team captain Mark Stone<\/a> is off to a great start with points to lead the club in that category.<\/p>\n

Ingram has been stellar to start the season. However, Vegas is extremely tough to beat at home.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Golden Knights win 3-1.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

We wrap up NHL predictions with some prop bets to spice up the action. For the opener, we like Finnish supremacy. Go with Roope Hintz<\/a> on the Stars side of things at +400 for a multiple-point night at Bet365<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the Florida side of the aisle, take Anton Lundell<\/a> at BetMGM <\/a>with a +360 as an anytime goalscorer.<\/p>\n
