The New York Rangers are hot and should take care of business tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks at MSG. The Rangers are 7-1-1 at home, have won 5 straight, and will not let the Blackhawks, who are 3-7-1-0 on the road, slow them down.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS

The Edmonton Oilers are clicking on every cylinder and will try to keep it going when they visit the Pacific Northwest tonight for a matchup with the Seattle Kraken. McDavid and company have won 3 straight, 5 of their last 6, and are 7-0 in their last 7 against the Pacific Division. Seattle has been playing better of late, but are still just 8-13-1-1 on the season and have yet to notch a win against the Pacific Division, at 0-5. Edmonton’s offense is lethal and should be too much for the Kraken’s mediocre defense to handle.
TONIGHT’S PICK: EDMONTON OILERS

The Covid bug has hit the Carolina Hurricanes and they have now lost 2 straight and 4 of their last 5 but should get back on track tonight when they host the Ottawa Senators. The worst team in hockey will be playing back-to-back games after getting thumped last night at home by the Vancouver Canucks and Ottawa has now lost 6 in a row. Despite their recent slide, the Canes are just 2 points behind the Washington Capitals for the top spot in the Metropolitan Division and have owned the Senators. The Canes are 17-4 in their last 21 against the Sens at PNC Arena and 7-2 in their last 9 meetings overall.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CAROLINA HURRICANES

The Anaheim Ducks will be playing back-to-back games when they host the Vegas Golden Knights tonight at Honda Center. Back-to-backers are always tough and Anaheim will probably be without one of their top producers and captain, Ryan Getzlaf, who left yesterday’s game with a lower body injury. The Golden Knights come into tonight’s game well rested after having 3 days off and have had the Ducks’ number. Vegas is 18-3 in the last 21 meetings overall and 5-0 in their last 5 at the Pond.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

Two of the Original 6 square off tonight when the Boston Bruins host the Detroit Red Wings. Detroit is riding a 2-game winning streak but has struggled on the road, losing their last 4, and are 3-7-1 overall away from Little Caesars Arena. Boston will be without their top producer, Brad Marchand, tonight who will be serving a 3-game suspension which will hurt but they should still get this one. The Bruins have won 5 of their last 7, are 7-3-0 at TD Garden, 14-3 in their last 17 against the Red Wings at home, and won easily in their last meeting on November 4th, 5-1.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

The Winnipeg Jets snapped their 5-game losing streak on Saturday with an impressive 4-2 road victory over the Calgary Flames. Tonight they will take that momentum to Canada Life Centre when they host the lowly Arizona Coyotes. The Jets boast a 7-2-0-1 home record and should have their way with the Coyotes, who have lost two straight and are 2-9-0-1 on the road. The Jets have won 11 of the last 12 meetings with the Coyotes in Winnipeg and should notch another tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS

With a win tonight at FLA Live Arena, the Florida Panthers will set the all-time record for most home wins (12) to start a season, and guess who is coming to town? The Seattle Kraken. The Kraken’s road troubles continued last night when they were blanked be the Tampa Bay Lightning, 3-0, and are now 1-7-1 on the road. The Panthers are a scoring machine, averaging 3.8 goals per game, and will not be in the best of moods after losing a close one last night to the Washington Capitals, 4-3, in DC.
TONIGHT’S PICK: FLORIDA PANTHERS
