NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Time:<\/strong> 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> Monument Sports Network; Sportsnet; Scripps Vegas; NHL Network<\/p>\n

Our opening and featured game of NHL predictions has the Capitals looking to complete the season-sweep of the Golden Knights. Washington is expected to go with former Vegas goalie Logan Thompson<\/a> in this one. However, always check social media before locking in a fantasy starter. Connor McMichael<\/a> has taken the team lead in goals with 12. However, Dylan Strome<\/a> is first in points with 24 for the Capitals.<\/p>\n

Vegas is trying to get revenge for a 4-2 loss in Washington DC on October 15. Adin Hill<\/a> is expected to get the start for the Golden Knights, who have won two straight games. Pavel Dorofeyev<\/a> is tops in goals for Vegas with nine. However, Jack Eichel<\/a> is first in assists (22) and points (27). <\/span><\/p>\n

Both teams are off to good starts this season. However, picks up the home victory.<\/p>\n

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

New York Rangers vs Seattle Kraken<\/h3>\n

Time:<\/strong> 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

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

We continue on with NHL predictions as the New York Rangers<\/a> take on the Seattle Kraken.<\/a> The Rangers are likely to go with Igor Shesterkin<\/a> in the blue paint. New York is 10-4-1, but knows it could play better. Artemi Panarin<\/a> is first in goals (10), assists (13) and points (23) so far for the Blueshirts.<\/p>\n

Seattle is coming into the game with four consecutive victories. The Kraken will go with Philipp Grubauer<\/a><\/span> in the goal with Joey Daccord<\/a> going the day before. Jared McCann<\/a> is pacing Seattle in goals (9), assists (12) and points (21).<\/p>\n

The Kraken are playing well, but the Rangers win via the goalie matchup.<\/p>\n

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

Nashville Predators vs Vancouver Canucks<\/h3>\n

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

Our final game of NHL Predictions is between the Nashville Predators<\/a> trying to turn things around against the Vancouver Canucks.<\/a> Juuse Saros<\/a> is slated to get the start for a Predators team that’s lost three straight games. Roman Josi<\/a> is first in assists with 11. However, Filip Forsberg<\/a> is tops in goals (8) and points (13).<\/p>\n

Kevin Lankinen<\/a><\/span> is the prospective starter with the Canucks playing on Saturday night. Brock Boeser<\/a> came into Saturday night’s game first in goals with six. Quinn Hughes<\/a> is tops in points coming into Saturday’s action with 16.<\/p>\n

Nashville needs a win, but doesn’t have the horses to compete.<\/p>\n

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

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