NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Dallas Stars vs Colorado Avalanche<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Stars 1-1 Avalanche<\/h4>\n

Time:<\/strong> 3:30\u00a0 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

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

We open NHL predictions with a key Central Division matchup<\/a> between the Stars and Avalanche. Dallas is expected to go with Jake Oettinger<\/a> in goal for this one. However, always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. The Stars are 7-3 in the last 10 games, but lost to the Winnipeg Jets<\/a> last time on ice. Jason Robertson<\/a> has been playing well as of late with scored nine goals and added six assists over the past 10 games.<\/p>\n

Mackenzie Blackwood<\/a> is the projected starter for the Avalanche, who are 7-2-1 in the last 10 games. Colorado beat Dallas in their last meeting thanks to two goals from Artturi Lehkonen<\/a>. However, these are two different-looking teams from the last meeting. Cale Makar<\/a> has provided four goals and 11 assists over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

This could be a first-round Stanley Cup Playoff series preview. We’ve got Colorado pulling out a late win.<\/p>\n

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

Edmonton Oilers vs New York Rangers<\/h3>\n

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

Time:<\/strong> 7 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> Sportsnet; MSG; ESPN+<\/p>\n

We have a big-time matchup on Broadway as the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> take on the New York Rangers.<\/a> Stuart Skinner<\/a> is the likely starter for Edmonton, which is 4-6 in the last 10 games. However, the Oilers did get an overtime-win last time out. Leon Draisaitl<\/a> continues his great season with eight goals and seven assists over the past 10 games.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Quick<\/a> is the expected starter with the Rangers having played the night before. The Blueshirts are 5-3-2 in the last 10 games, including two consecutive victories. Artemi Panarin<\/a> has been one of the team’s more consistent performers with 29 goals and 41 assists for the Rangers.<\/p>\n

The Rangers got momentum, but going into a back-to-back against the Oilers could be a problem.<\/p>\n

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

Winnipeg Jets vs Seattle Kraken<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Jets 2-0 Kraken<\/h4>\n

Time:<\/strong> 9 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

TV:<\/strong> KHN; KONG; TSN3; ESPN+<\/p>\n

The last game of NHL predictions has the Jets going for the season-sweep against the Seattle Kraken<\/a>. Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> is the probable starter for the Jets, who are 6-3-1 in the last 10 games. Winnipeg has also won two straight games coming into this one. Mark Scheifele<\/a> has totaled 35 goals and 37 assists for Winnipeg.<\/p>\n

Joey Daccord<\/a> is the expected starter for the Kraken, who are 5-5 in the last 10 games. Seattle is also winners of two straight games entering this Western Conference matchup. Brandon Montour<\/a> has posted five goals and four assists over the last 10 games.<\/p>\n

Both teams are coming in on a bit of a roll, but Winnipeg gets the victory.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Jets win 4-1.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

We close out NHL predictions with some prop bets of the night. Let’s go to our feature game for today’s prop bets. On the Dallas side, we’ll take Mikko Rantanen<\/a> to get a goal against his former team. For the Colorado end of things, go with Nathan MacKinnon<\/a> to get two assists.<\/p>\n
