NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Philadelphia Flyers vs Boston Bruins<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Flyers 1-1 Bruins<\/h4>\n

Time:<\/strong> 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

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

Our first and featured game of NHL predictions has the Bruins hosting the Flyers. Ivan Fedotov<\/a> is the projected starter in this game, but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Philadelphia is coming off a loss, but is 6-3-1 in the last 10 games. Owen Tippett<\/a> is coming off a two-goal game last time out.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Swayman<\/a> is the expected starter for the Bruins, who have won three straight and are also 6-3-1 in the last 10 games. Boston seems to have found its footing under interim coach Joe Sacco<\/a>. Brad Marchand<\/a> has posted five goals and two assists over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Keep the early smart time in mind when setting lineups, but the Bruins should pick up the win.<\/p>\n

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

Utah Hockey Club vs Buffalo Sabres<\/h3>\n

Time:<\/strong> 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> SN1; Utah16; MSG Buffalo; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our second game of NHL predictions has the Utah Hockey Club<\/a> visiting the Buffalo Sabres.<\/a> Karel Vejmelka<\/a><\/span> is the confirmed starter for Utah, which has a 4-5-1 in the last 10 games. Dylan Guenther<\/a> leads the club in goals while Clayton Keller<\/a> is first in points with 22.<\/p>\n

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen<\/a><\/span> is the projected starter for the Sabres, who are losers of five straight games. Buffalo is 4-4-2 and is trying to stem the tide of their fading season. Tage Thompson<\/a> is first in goals with 14 while Alex Tuch<\/a> is tops in assists (16) and points (24).<\/p>\n

Buffalo is desperate for a win and it will get a much-needed victory.<\/p>\n

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

Colorado Avalanche vs Detroit Red Wings<\/h3>\n

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

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

Our final game of NHL predictions has the Colorado Avalanche<\/a> battle in the Detroit Red Wings.<\/a> Colorado is 5-5 in the last 10 games, but have slowly climbed out of the bottom of the Central Division. Alexandar Georgiev<\/a> is the likely starter for the Avalanche. Valeri Nichushkin<\/a> has made a strong return with five goals and three assists over the past 10 games.<\/p>\n

Detroit has lost four in a row and is 3-4-3 in the last 10 games. The Red Wings are likely to turn to Ville Husso<\/a> in goal for this game, but he’s yet to record a victory this season. Lucas Raymond<\/a> has registered nine goals and 18 assists for the Red Wings.<\/p>\n

Colorado just has more firepower and picks up the victory against a struggling Detroit team.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Avalanche win 5-3.<\/em><\/p>\n
