The New Jersey Devils will be at The Rock tonight to take on the New York Islanders. They beat them in the last meeting, why not again tonight?
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW JERSEY DEVILS

The Boston Bruins are on a rare 2-game losing streak but they get back on track tonight when they visit the lowly Columbus Blue Jackets. The 14-3-3 Bruins have won the last 6 meetings with the 6-12-4 Jackets and they are 5-1 in their last 6 trips to Columbus. The Boston Bruins are the best team in hockey. Hands down.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

The Arizona Coyotes are on a 3-game skid and after tonight it will be 4 when they visit the Vegas Golden Knights on the strip. The Champs are 14-4-2 and have won the last 9 games against the 8-9-4 Coyotes at T-Mobile. Trends end but not tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

The Central leading Dallas Stars will be in the friendly confines of American Airlines Center tonight when they host the Calgary Flames. The 12-4-2 Stars are 5-3-1 at home and despite a tough OT loss on Wednesday to the Vegas Golden Knights, they are still 5-2 over their last 7. The 7-9-3 Flames have had issues finding the back of the net. They are averaging under 3 goals per game, and it won’t get any easier for them tonight with the Stars expected goalie, Jake Oettinger, getting the nod. He is 8-3-2 with a 2.45 GAA and a .920 SV%. Dallas has won the last 2 meetings with Calgary and if they kept yesterday’s Thanksgiving Day festivities in check, they should come out on top.
TONIGHT’S PICK: DALLAS STARS

The 11-5-0 Colorado Avalanche will be in Nashville tonight to take on the 6-10-0 Predators. The Preds have not been playing well. They are 1-4 in their last 5 overall. They are also 1-4 in their last 5 as an underdog and 1-4 in their last 5 against the Western Conference. On the other hand, the Avs have won 3 straight and are an impressive 6-3 on the road. Colorado has won the last 8 meetings with Nashville and has the edge in goals per game, goals against, shots on goal, shooting efficiency, and the list goes on and on.
TONIGHT’S PICK: COLORADO AVALANCHE

The Vancouver Canucks are off to their best start in franchise history, at 12-4-1, and will be at home tonight to face their neighbors to the south, the 6-8-4 Seattle Kraken. Seattle is 3-3-4 on the road and just 2-5 in their last 7. They will have to bring their A-game tonight if they want to pull off the upset. The Canucks have not lost in regulation this year at Rogers Arena, with a record of 6-0-1. They are 7-2 in their last 9 and in the 8 times they have faced the Kraken in Seattle’s brief history in the NHL, they have won 6 of them.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VANCOUVER CANUCKS

In a rare 3-0 shutout at the hands of the Washington Capitals on Tuesday, I expect the defending Stanley Cup Champion Vegas Golden Knights will bounce back tonight when they visit the Montréal Canadiens. The Champs are on pace to win it all again with a record of 12-3-1, and have owned the 7-7-2 Habs, winning the last 5 meetings. Vegas is expected to have Adin Hill between the pipes and he is playing at the top of his game. Hill is 7-1-1 with an outstanding GAA of only 1.75 and a .939 SV%.
