NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Philadelphia Flyers vs New Jersey Devils<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Flyers 2-0 Devils<\/h4>\n

Time:<\/strong>\u00a07 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

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

We open NHL predictions with a Metropolitan Division matchup between the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> and New Jersey Devils.<\/a> Samuel Ersson<\/a> is the expected starter for Philadelphia, but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. The Flyers are 6-3-1 entering the back-end of this home-and-home set. Travis Konecny<\/a> leads the way with 21 goals and 37 assists for Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Jake Allen<\/a> is the projected starter for the Devils, who lost 4-2 the last time these two clubs faced each other. New Jersey is 4-3-3 in the last 10 as the team tries to survive life without Jacob Markstrom<\/a>. Jesper Bratt<\/a> has been playing well all season with 16 goals and 40 assists for the Devils.<\/p>\n

The Flyers have played the Devils well this season, but the hosts break through in this one.<\/p>\n

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

Minnesota Wild vs Toronto Maple Leafs<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Wild 1-0 Maple Leafs<\/h4>\n

Time:<\/strong>\u00a07 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

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

Our featured game has the Wild taking on the Maple Leafs for the last time this season. Filip Gustavsson<\/a> is the likely starter for the Wild, who are 4-6 in the last 10 games. However, Minnesota won its last game. Matt Boldy<\/a> has totaled four goals with seven assists over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Joseph Woll<\/a> is the projected starter for the Maple Leafs, who are 5-5 in the last 10 games. Toronto is also coming off a pair of losses heading into this matchup. Auston Matthews<\/a> is starting to heat up with eight goals and four assists over the past 10 games.<\/p>\n

Minnesota will be without Kirill Karpizov and that could make the difference.<\/p>\n

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

Los Angeles Kings vs Florida Panthers<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Kings 1-0 Panthers<\/h4>\n

Time:<\/strong>\u00a07 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> Scripps Florida; Fan Duel Sports West; ESPN+<\/p>\n

The last game of this night<\/a> of NHL predictions has the Los Angeles Kings<\/a> taking on the Florida Panthers<\/a>. Los Angeles is expected to go with Darcy Kuemper<\/a> in goal for this game. The Kings are 4-5-1 in the last 10 and dropped their last two games. Adrian Kempe<\/a> has been great all season with 24 goals and 20 assists for Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Sergei Bobrovsky<\/a> is the probable starter for the Panthers, who are 5-4-1 in the last 10 games. However, Florida is coming off a setback in its last game out. Sam Reinhart<\/a> is on the edge of a 30-goal season with 29 goals and 24 assists for the Panthers.<\/p>\n

Florida has been up-and-down, but will get the victory in this one.<\/p>\n

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

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

We wrap up NHL predictions with some prop bets. Let’s go to our featured game for some of our choices. For Minnesota, go with Mats Zuccarello<\/a> to get a goal. On the Toronto end of things, take Mitch Marner<\/a> to get the over on 0.5 points.<\/p>\n
