NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Utah Hockey Club vs Detroit Red Wings<\/strong><\/h3>\n

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

TV:<\/strong> Utah16; Fan Duel Sports Detroit; ESPN+<\/p>\n

We open NHL predictions with the Utah Hockey Club visiting the Detroit Red Wings. Newly-extended goalie Karel Vejmelka<\/a> is the projected starter for Utah. However, always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Utah is 6-4 entering this matchup, but lost the last time out. Team captain Clayton Keller<\/a> is first in goals (22) and assists (47) to have a nice 69 points so far this season.<\/p>\n

Detroit is expected to counter with Cam Talbot<\/a> in the crease for this game. The Red Wings are struggling at a bad time with three straight losses prior to this game. However, Detroit is still 5-4-1 in the last 10 games. Lucas Raymond<\/a> is tops on the team in assists (41) and points (63).<\/p>\n

Both teams would love a victory to bolster their playoff chances. However, Detroit gets it done at home.<\/p>\n

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

Winnipeg Jets vs Philadelphia Flyers<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Jets 0-1 Flyers<\/h4>\n

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

TV:<\/strong> TSN3; NBC Sports Philadelphia; ESPN+<\/p>\n

The next game<\/a> in NHL predictions is the Winnipeg Jets<\/a> trying to avoid the season-sweep against the Philadelphia Flyers.<\/a> Winnipeg is likely to go with Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> in the blue paint for this game. The Jets 7-2-1 in the last 10 games, but have dropped three consecutive after their franchise-best winning streak. Mark Scheifele<\/a> has been averaging over a point a game as of late for Winnipeg with five goals with six assists over the past 10 games.<\/p>\n

Samuel Ersson<\/a> is the probable starter for the Flyers, who are 4-4-2 in the last 10 games. Rookie standout Matvei Michkov<\/a> has registered five goals and six assists over the last 10 games for Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

The Jets are still a bit sore from the Flyers beating the last time out and need to get back on track.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Jets win 5-2.<\/em><\/p>\n

Montreal Canadiens vs Edmonton Oilers<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Canadiens 1-0 Oilers<\/h4>\n

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

TV:<\/strong> SN West; TSN2; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our last game of NHL predictions is our featured matchup with Canadiens taking on the Oilers. Sam Montembeault<\/a> is the expected starter for Montreal, which has won five straight to put itself back into Stanley Cup Playoff contention. The Habs may be 6-4 in the last 10, but are playing a lot better as of late. Cole Caufield<\/a> hit the 30-goal mark in Montreal’s last game.<\/p>\n

Stuart Skinner<\/a> is the confirmed starter for the Oilers, who have been struggling as of late. Edmonton has dropped seven of its last 10 games entering this matchup.\u00a0Leon Draisaitl<\/a> has been piling up the offence with 45 goals and 47 assists for the Oilers.<\/p>\n

Montreal has been hot, but this is a chance for Edmonton to finally get on track at home.<\/p>\n

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

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

We finish out NHL predictions with some prop bets for the featured game between Montreal and Edmonton. For the Canadiens, take Nick Suzuki<\/a> to get the over on 0.5 points in this one. On the Oilers end of things, go with Zach Hyman<\/a> to get a power-play point.<\/p>\n
