NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Philadelphia Flyers vs Chicago Blackhawks<\/h3>\n

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

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

TV:<\/strong> SN1; Chicago Sports Network; NHL Network; NBC Sports Philadelphia<\/p>\n

We open up NHL predictions with the Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> visiting the Chicago Blackhawks<\/a>. Samuel Ersson<\/a> is the expected starter for the Flyers, but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Philadelphia is 1-8-1 in the last 10 games, including four straight losses. Travis Konecny<\/a> has been a bright spot this season with 23 goals and 43 assists for the Flyers.<\/p>\n

Chicago is coming into this game with seven straight defeats and a 2-6-2 mark in the last 10 games. The Blackhawks are slated to go with Spencer Knight<\/a> in between the pipes for this one. Connor Bedard<\/a> has recorded scored 19 goals with 35 assists for Chicago.<\/p>\n

Someone has to win this game, but Philadelphia seems to be in a better position to accomplish that.<\/p>\n

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

Buffalo Sabres vs Winnipeg Jets<\/h3>\n

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

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

TV:<\/strong> TSN3; MSG Buffalo; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Our second game<\/a> of NHL predictions is our featured game between the Sabres and Jets. Buffalo is struggling with a 3-6-1 in the last 10 games, including two consecutive defeats. The Sabres are 10-21-3 away from home this season. JJ Peterka<\/a> has 22 goals and 31 assists for Buffalo. It’s likely that James Reimer<\/a> will be the team’s starter.<\/p>\n

Winnipeg is projected to start Connor Hellebuyck<\/a>, but we could see Eric Comrie<\/a> get the call in goal. The Jets are in the mix for the President’s Trophy and have a 6-3-1 in the last 10 games. However, Winnipeg is coming off a loss entering this one. Kyle Connor<\/a> has great all season with 37 goals with 49 assists for the Jets.<\/p>\n

Buffalo is just trying to end the season while Winnipeg is chasing the top overall record.<\/p>\n

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

Nashville Predators vs St Louis Blues<\/h3>\n

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

Time:<\/strong> 6 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

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

The last game of our NHL predictions has the Nashville Predators<\/a> taking on the St Louis Blues<\/a>. Justus Annunen<\/a> is the expected starter with the Predators playing last night. Nashville may be out of the race for a Stanley Cup Playoff spot. However, the team is still 5-4-1 in the last 10. Filip Forsberg<\/a> leads the team in all offensive categories with 27 goals, 37 assists and 64 points.<\/p>\n

Jordan Binnington<\/a> is the projected starter for the Blues, who are on a five-game winning streak. St Louis has won five straight games and are in the second wild card spot in the West. Jordan Kyrou<\/a> leads the team in goals (29) and points (29) so far this season.<\/p>\n

St Louis has been playing well at the right time and should get two valuable points.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Blues win 5-3.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

We round out NHL predictions with some prop bets of the night. Let’s go back to our featured game for some props. For Buffalo, go with Tage Thompson<\/a> to generate a goal. On the Winnipeg side, take Mark Scheifele<\/a> to get the over on 0.5 points.<\/p>\n
