NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Minnesota Wild vs Buffalo Sabres<\/h3>\n

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

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

Good gravy, we’ve got a good opening game for NHL predictions. The Buffalo Sabres<\/a> host the Minnesota Wild<\/a> in the Gravy Boat Promotion game on the night before Thanksgiving. Filip Gustavsson<\/a><\/span> is the expected starter for the Wild, but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Kirill Kaprizov<\/a> is back after surviving an injury scare and he leads the team in goals (13), assists (21) and points (34) so far this season.<\/p>\n

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen<\/a><\/span> is slated to get the start for a Sabres team that’s won three in a row. Lindy Ruff<\/a> has this roster playing well with a 7-3 mark in the last 10 games. Tage Thompson<\/a> is first in goals with 11. However, Alex Tuch<\/a> is tops in assists (14) and points (21) so far this campaign.<\/p>\n

Minnesota seemingly struggles against Central Division teams, but finds a way in this one.<\/p>\n

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

Washington Capitals vs Tampa Bay Lightning<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head:Capitals 0-1 Lightning<\/h4>\n

Time:<\/strong> 7:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

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

We’ve got a good matchup for the second game of NHL predictions with the Washington Capitals<\/a> taking on the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a>. Washington is likely to go with Charlie Lindgren<\/a> in goal for this game. The Capitals are 6-3-1 in the last 10 an are hoping to survive without Alex Ovechkin<\/a>. Dylan Strome<\/a> is the team-leader in assists (23) and points (29) for Washington.<\/p>\n

Andrei Vasilevskiy<\/a><\/span> is hoping to repeat his 32-save shutout performance in Tampa’s 3-0 victory on October 26. The Russian is the projected starter for the Lightning, who are coming off a huge win over the Avalanche. Nikita Kucherov<\/a> keeps putting up great numbers with 12 goals, 20 assists and 32 points.<\/p>\n

Washington has been playing fine without its captain. However, Tampa Bay collects the victory.<\/p>\n

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

Vegas Golden Knights vs Colorado Avalanche<\/h3>\n

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

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

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

Our final and featured game of NHL predictions has the Golden Knights taking their three-game winning streak into Denver. Adin Hill<\/a> is slated to be the starter for Vegas, which won a wild 8-4 game in the first meeting between the two teams. Pavel Dorofeyev<\/a> holds the team lead in goals with 11, but Jack Eichel<\/a> is tops in assists (26) and points (34).<\/span><\/p>\n

Colorado may go with Alexandar Georgiev<\/a><\/span> even after his shaky performance last time out. The Avs have been playing better after stumbling out of the blocks as they’re 7-3 in the last 10 games. Mikko Rantanen<\/a> is putting up massive goal numbers with 14 already while Nathan MacKinnon<\/a> is topping the assists (28) and points (35) list.<\/p>\n

The Avs want to get out fast, but the Knights can also score goals.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Golden Knights win 6-4.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

We wrap up NHL predictions with some prop bets. The over\/under on the featured game is at 6.5 and we think that will get the over at -115 on BetMGM<\/a>. Rantanen is a +850 at BetMGM to be the game’s first goalscorer while Eichel is a +1200 to do the same thing.<\/p>\n
