Our opening and featured game of NHL predictions has the Devils making the trip to Sunrise to face the Panthers. Jake Allen<\/a> is the confirmed starter for New Jersey, which is 5-4-1 in the last 10 games. However, the Devils are coming off a 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a> in their previous outing. New Jersey did get a 3-1 win over Florida on October 16. Leading goal-scorer Jack Hughes<\/a> will be out for this game, so the offensive output witll have to be picked up by players like Jesper Bratt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sergei Bobrovsky<\/a> is the expected starter for the Panthers, but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter, Florida is 6-3-1 in the 10 games and are coming off a wild 8-5 victory over the Vancouver Canucks<\/a>. The Panthers struggled out of the gate with injuries, but Paul Maurice’s team has adapted. Brad Marchand<\/a> is first on the team in goals (13) and points (23) for Florida.<\/p>\n

It seems that the Panthers are starting to turn back into contenders. The hosts should get the win over the banged-up Devils.<\/p>\n

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