NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Columbus Blue Jackets vs Dallas Stars<\/h3>\n

Time: <\/strong>6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> Victory; Fan Duel Sports Ohio; ESPN+<\/p>\n

We open NHL predictions with the surprising Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a> visiting the Dallas Stars<\/a>. The Blue Jackets will go with Elvis Merzlikins<\/a>\u00a0 in goal. Columbus is 7-2-1 in the last 10 games and have taken its last three games entering this matchup. Kent Johnson<\/a> been averaging nearly a point a game with four goals and five assists over the past 10 games.<\/p>\n

Jake Oettinger<\/a> is the expected starter for the Stars. However, always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Dallas has been playing pretty well in its own right with a 6-4 mark in its last 10. This includes four straight victories entering this game. Wyatt Johnston<\/a> has been red-hot as of late with four goals and nine assists over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Both teams are playing well, but Dallas gets the win at home.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Stars win 4-3.<\/em><\/p>\n

Vegas Golden Knights vs New York Rangers<\/h3>\n

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

Time: <\/strong>6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> MSG; Scripps Vegas; Sportsnet; SN 360; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our second game of NHL predictions has the Vegas Golden Knights<\/a> taking on the New York Rangers.<\/a> Vegas is projected to go with Adin Hill<\/a> in goal for this matchup. The Knights are 3-4-3 in the last 10 games and have two consecutive losses. Tomas Hertl<\/a> has been playing well as of late with nine goals and five assists over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

New York is likely to go with Jonathan Quick<\/a> in the blue paint for this game. The Rangers are 5-3-2 in the last 10 games, but have dropped the last three games. J.T. Miller<\/a> had a Broadway revival with two goals on Saturday. However, the Rangers were beaten soundly by the Boston Bruins.<\/a><\/p>\n

Both clubs are struggling, but the Knights have just a bit more talent on paper.<\/p>\n

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

Detroit Red Wings vs Vancouver Canucks<\/h3>\n

The last game<\/a> of NHL predictions has the Red Wings taking on the Canucks in a pivotal matchup for both teams. Detroit is expected to start Alex Lyon<\/a> in goal for this matchup. The Red Wings are 6-3-1 in the last 10 games, including five straight victories. Team captain Dylan Larkin<\/a> has been lighting it up with 23 goals and 26 assists for Detroit.<\/p>\n

Vancouver is projected to go with Kevin Lankinen<\/a> in goal for this game. The Canucks are 5-5 in the last 10 games and did win in its last game. Vancouver’s captain Quinn Hughes<\/a> has scored 14 goals with 45 assists for the club.<\/p>\n

Detroit has been great since Todd McLellan<\/a> took over behind the bench. That roll should continue.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Red Wings 4-3.<\/em><\/p>\n
