NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Nashville Predators vs Chicago Blackhawks<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Predators 2-0 Blackhawks<\/h4>\n

Time:\u00a0<\/strong>8:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> Fan Duel Sports South; Chicago Sports Network; ESPN+<\/p>\n

We open NHL predictions with a Central Division matchup between the Nashville Predators<\/a> versus Chicago Blackhawks<\/a>. Nashville is projected to go with Juuse Saros<\/a> in goal for this one. However, always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. The Predators are 5-5 in the last 10 games, but have dropped the last five in a row. Steven Stamkos<\/a> has been a bright spot as of late with five goals with two assists over the past 10 games for Nashville.<\/p>\n

Petr Mrazek<\/a> is the likely starter in goal for the Blackhawks, who are 2-4-4 in the last 10 games. This recent run includes three consecutive losses for Chicago entering this divisional matchup. Teuvo Teravainen<\/a> has totaled 11 goals and 25 assists for the Blackhawks.<\/p>\n

Some team has to win because ties don’t exist in the NHL anymore. Both teams are struggling bad, but Nashville gets the win in this one.<\/p>\n

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

Colorado Avalanche vs Edmonton Oilers<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Avalanche 0-2 Oilers<\/h4>\n

Time:<\/strong> 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> SN West; Altitude; ESPN+<\/p>\n

The final and featured game<\/a> of NHL predictions has the Avalanche visiting the Oilers in a prime Western Conference matchup. Colorado is probable to go with Scott Wedgewood<\/a> in the crease for this game after beating the Calgary Flames<\/a>, 4-2, the night before. The Avs are 5-4-1 coming into this game against the Oilers. Cale Makar<\/a> is\u00a0 making his case for the Norris Trophy with 20 goals and 40 assists for Colorado so far this season.<\/p>\n

Edmonton is expected to go with Stuart Skinner<\/a> in the blue paint for this game. The Oilers are 6-3-1 in the last 10 games and that includes victories in their last two games. Edmonton is a strong 18-9-2 in home games for the 2024-25 campaign. Leon Draisaitl<\/a> has been piling up the points with 38 goals and 43 assists for the Oilers.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to sweep a team three times in the regular season. Edmonton does have the advantage of extra rest. However, Colorado gets the victory in this one.<\/p>\n

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

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

We round of NHL predictions with some prop bets of the night. Let’s zero in on the featured game for some preferred props. For Colorado, take Artturi Lehkonen<\/a> to get the over on 0.5 points for this one. As for Edmonton, go with Zach Hyman<\/a> to score a goal. If you feel adventurous, take Hyman to net a power-play marker.<\/p>\n
