NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Vancouver Canucks vs Boston Bruins<\/h3>\n

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

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

We begin NHL predictions with our featured game between the Canucks and Bruins. Vancouver is expected to run with Kevin Lankinen<\/a><\/span> in goal, but always check social media before locking in a fantasy starter. The Canucks are 6-4 in the last 10, but have won seven out of eight away from home. Vancouver has spread out the offence with six different players tied for the team-lead in goals. However, Quinn Hughes<\/a> is first in assists (15) and points (19).<\/p>\n

Jeremy Swayman<\/a> is the confirmed starter for Boston, which has won two games in a row since Joe Sacco<\/a> took over behind the bench<\/a>. The Bruins are 5-3-2 in the last 10 games, but are 6-4-2 at home this season. David Pastrnak<\/a> leads the club in goals (8), assists (11) and points (19) so far this season for Boston.<\/p>\n

Boston has gotten a bit of a new coach bump. However, Vancouver is great on the road.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Canucks win 3-2 in a shootout.<\/em><\/p>\n

Utah Hockey Club vs Montreal Canadiens<\/h3>\n

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

TV:<\/strong> TSN2; Utah16; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our final game of NHL predictions is the Utah Hockey Club<\/a> making the trip to take on the Montreal Canadiens<\/a>. Jaxson Stauber<\/a><\/span> is expected to get his first of the season for Utah after Karel Vejmelka<\/a> has made the last two. Injuries have hit Utah HC hard and they are 3-6-1 in the last 10 games. Dylan Guenther<\/a> has gotten back on track and leads the team in goals with nine. Clayton Keller<\/a> is tops in points for Utah with 19.<\/p>\n

Montreal is also 3-6-1 in the last 10 games and will turn to confirmed starter Sam Montembeault<\/a><\/span> in the blue paint for this one. The Habs are 5-5-1 this season on home ice. Cole Caufield<\/a> holds the team’s lead in goals with 12. However, team captain Nick Suzuki<\/a> is leading the way in assists (12) and points (19) for the Canadiens as we approach American Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

Both teams have been struggling as of late. However, Montembeault<\/span> gives the Habs the edge in the crease. This edge will carry them to a narrow victory.<\/p>\n

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