NHL Predictions<\/h2>\n

Chicago Blackhawks vs Winnipeg Jets<\/h3>\n

2024-25 Season Series: Blackhawks 0-3 Jets<\/h4>\n

How to Watch<\/a>:<\/p>\n

U.S TV:\u00a0<\/strong>Chicago Sports Network; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Canada TV:<\/strong> TSN3<\/p>\n

Time:<\/strong> 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

Our first game of NHL predictions has the Chicago Blackhawks<\/a> visiting the Winnipeg Jets.<\/a> Chicago is expected to start Spencer Knight<\/a> in goal, but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. The Blackhawks are off to a 5-3-2 start in their first 10 games. Connor Bedard<\/a> recorded a hat trick on Tuesday night against the Ottawa Senators<\/a>. Bedard is tied with Ryan Donato<\/a> for first on the team in goals with six.<\/p>\n

Connor Hellebuyck<\/a> is the probable starter for the Jets, who are 7-3 in the first 10 games to start the season. Kyle Connor<\/a> recorded his fifth goal of the season to help Winnipeg get a 4-3 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild<\/a>. Mark Scheifele<\/a> is first on the team in goals (8) and points (15) so far this campaign. Josh Morrissey<\/a> is tops in the assist category with eight.<\/p>\n

Both teams are coming off victories on Tuesday. However, Jonathan Towes’ new team will get a win over his old team.<\/p>\n

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

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

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

How to Watch:<\/p>\n

U.S TV: <\/strong>MSG; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Canada TV:<\/strong> SN1<\/p>\n

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

Our second and featured game of NHL predictions has the Rangers trying to build momentum against the Oilers. Igor Shesterkin<\/a> is the projected starter, but Jonathan Quick<\/a> is coming off a shutout against the Vancouver Canucks.<\/a> The Blueshirts have struggled to put the puck in the net with an average of 2.18 goals scored per game. Adam Fox<\/a> is first in assists (6) and points (9) for the Rangers. However, Mika Zibanejad<\/a> is leading in goals with four.<\/p>\n

Stuart Skinner<\/a> is the probable starter for Edmonton, and he’s looking to repeat his shutout performance from October 14. The Oilers rallied past the Utah Mammoth<\/a> to get the victory on Tuesday. Connor McDavid<\/a> is putting up points with 14, including 11 coming off assists. Leon Draisaitl<\/a> is leading the club in goals with eight.<\/p>\n

The Rangers did look better in Vancouver. However, taking on the Oilers is a whole different animal.<\/p>\n

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

Detroit Red Wings vs Los Angeles Kings<\/h3>\n

2024-25 Season Series: Red Wings 1-1 Kings<\/h4>\n

How to Watch:<\/p>\n

U.S TV: <\/strong>Fan Duel Sports West; Fan Duel Sports Detroit; ESPN+<\/p>\n

Time:<\/strong> 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

Our final game<\/a> of NHL predictions has the Detroit Red Wings<\/a> visiting the Los Angeles Kings<\/a>. Detroit is expected to start Cam Talbot<\/a> in goal for this game. The Wings are off to a 7-3 start after 10 games, including wins in their last two. Dylan Larkin<\/a> is first in goals (8), assists (8), and points (16) so far this campaign. However, he’s tied with Alex DeBrincat<\/a> for first in assists.<\/p>\n

Darcy Kuemper<\/a> is the likely starter for the Kings, who have won two in a row. Los Angeles has gotten some important returns with Anze Kopitar<\/a> and Corey Perry<\/a>. Adrian Kempe<\/a> is showing out in a contract year with five goals, nine assists, and 14 points.<\/p>\n

Both teams are playing well, but Los Angeles gets the victory at home.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Kings win 4-3.<\/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 back to our featured game for our favourite props. The over\/under for this game between New York and Edmonton is 5.5, and we think the under is the right play in this one.<\/p>\n

As for individual props, go with Artemi Panarin<\/a> to register an anytime goal for the Rangers. On the Oilers end of things, go with Evan Bouchard<\/a> to get a power play point.<\/p>\n
