NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

New York Rangers vs Detroit Red Wings<\/h3>\n

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

Time:<\/strong> 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> MSG; Fan Duel Sports Detroit; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our opening game of NHL predictions is a battle of Original Six teams. The New York Rangers<\/a> are expected to go with Jonathan Quick<\/a> in goal for this one. However, always check social media before locking a fantasy starter. New York is coming off a shocking 6-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres<\/a> last time out. Artemi Panarin<\/a> leads the club in goals (9), assists (10) and points (19).<\/p>\n

The embattled Ville Husso<\/a> is the confirmed starter for the Detroit Red Wings<\/a>, who are coming off a 3-1 defeat to Toronto on Friday night. This is the last meeting between the two teams season and the Red Wings would love to salvage something. Dylan Larkin<\/a> is first on the club in goals with nine, but Lucas Raymond<\/a> is tops in points with 13.<\/p>\n

One thing the Rangers do well is bounce back after bad losses. This could be another case of that.<\/p>\n

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

Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Canadiens 1-0 Maple Leafs<\/h4>\n

Time:<\/strong> 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV: CBC; Sportsnet; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our second and featured game of NHL predictions has the Habs visiting the Maple Leafs. Sam Montembeault<\/a><\/span> is the expected starter and is hoping for a repeat performance of his opening-night shutout of Toronto. The Canadiens may be struggling with five consecutive losses. However, Cole Caufield<\/a> is off to a great start with 10 goals and Nick Suzuki<\/a> has 13 points.<\/p>\n

Toronto is expected to go with Joseph Woll<\/a> in this game after Anthony Stolarz<\/a> started on Friday. Auston Matthews<\/a> will be out of the lineup for this one, but the Leafs have won the last two games. William Nylander<\/a> is first in goals with 10 and Mitch Marner<\/a> has 18 points to start the season.<\/p>\n

Rivalry games are tough to gauge, but Toronto scratches out the victory.<\/p>\n

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

Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks<\/h3>\n

Time:<\/strong> 10 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> CBC; Sportsnet; CityTV; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Tonight’s final game of this set of NHL predictions has the Vancouver Canucks<\/a> hosting the Edmonton Oilers,<\/a> who did get Connor McDavid<\/a> back last game. Leon Draisaitl<\/a> has done all he can do to keep the Oilers afloat without their captain. The German standout leads the club with nine goals, seven assists and 16 points. Stuart Skinner<\/a> is expected to register the start for Edmonton.<\/p>\n

Vancouver is likely yo counter with Kevin Lankinen<\/a><\/span> in goal and he’s been outstanding. The Finn has a 7-0-2 record with a 2.08 goals-against-average. Brock Boeser<\/a> leads the club in goals with six, but he’s listed as day-to-day after taking a high hit from Tanner Jeannot<\/a>. Quinn Hughes<\/a> is first in points with 14 for Vancouver.<\/p>\n

McDavid will need some time to get back to speed, but the Oilers may steal this one.<\/p>\n

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

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

We wrap up NHL predictions with some prop bets. Adam Fox<\/a> is due to breakout for the Rangers and he seems like a strong play at +330 on FanDuel<\/a> to have a multiple-point night.<\/p>\n

In the final game, go with McDavid at +155 on FanDuel<\/a> as an anytime goalscorer.<\/p>\n
