NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Toronto Maple Leafs vs Washington Capitals<\/h3>\n

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

TV:<\/strong> Sportsnet; Monument Sports Network; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our opening and featured game NHL predictions has the Maple Leafs trying to bounce back against the Capitals. Toronto is expected to go with Joseph Woll<\/a> in between the pipes. However, always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. The Leafs are coming off a flat 3-0 performance against the Ottawa Senators last time out. Auston Matthews<\/a> may still be out of the lineup for the game for Toronto. William Nylander<\/a> is first on the team in goals with 11, but Mitch Marner<\/a> is first in assists (16) and points (20).<\/p>\n

Washington will counter with Logan Thompson<\/a> n goal for this game. The Capitals have gotten off to a great start and much of that has to do with Alex Ovechkin<\/a> and his team-leading 10 goals. Dylan Strome<\/a> leads the team in assists (18) and points (22) so far this season. Washington is 10-4 and is keeping pace in the Metropolitan Division.<\/p>\n

Toronto will hopefully come up with a better effort. However, it’s still in the second game of a back-to-back.<\/p>\n

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

Vegas Golden Knights vs Anaheim Ducks<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Golden Knights 1-0 Ducks<\/h4>\n

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

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

It’s a Pacific Division matchup as the Anaheim Ducks<\/a> host the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a>. Adin Hill<\/a> is the expected starter for the Golden Knights, who have lost two consecutive games. Vegas is without Mark Stone<\/a>, who is a major part of the team. Jack Eichel<\/a> is first in assists (19) and points (24) while Ivan Barbashev<\/a> is first in goals with eight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anaheim is expected to go with Lukas Dostal<\/a> in between the pipes for this one. The Ducks did beat the Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a> last time out. Troy Terry<\/a> is first on the team in goals (5) and points (11). However, he’s tied for first in assists with six with Mason McTavish<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Vegas is feeling lost without Stone, but should rebound in this one.<\/p>\n

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

Los Angeles Kings vs Colorado Avalanche<\/h3>\n

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

TV:<\/strong> TNT; TruTV; Sportsnet 360<\/p>\n

Our final game of NHL predictions has the Los Angeles Kings<\/a> traveling to the Colorado Avalanche.<\/a> Darcy Kuemper<\/a><\/span> is the expected starter for a Kings team that’s first place in the Pacific Division. Alex Laferriere<\/a> is off to a surprisingly fast start with nine goals while ageless Anze Kopitar<\/a> leads in points with 18.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colorado is slated to go with Alexandar Georgiev<\/a><\/span> in goal. The Avalanche have won two straight games and have seemingly stabilized after a rough start. Nathan MacKinnon<\/a> is off to another trademark start with 23 assists and 30 points. However, Mikko Rantanen<\/a> is first on the club in goals with nine.<\/p>\n

The Avalanche have just a little more firepower and continue their upward trend.<\/p>\n

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

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

We close out NHL predictions with a couple of prop bets for the slate of games. In the opener, go with Marner to have a multiple-point night at Bet365<\/a> on +165. John Carlsson is +130 to get an assist for Washington at Bet365.<\/p>\n
