The Winnepeg Jets, who own the best record in hockey at 11-1-0, will be at home tonight when they host the struggling Utah Hockey Club. The Club has lost 5 of its last 6 and now has to face the Jets, whose only loss was against a really good Toronto Maple Leafs team. Good luck. Winnipeg has been a scoring machine, averaging just shy of 5 goals per game as opposed to Utah’s 3.08. The Jets also have the edge in goals against, shots on goal, etc., etc., etc.
TONIGHT’S PICK: WINNIPEG JETS

The Vegas Golden Knights return home tonight to T-Mobile Arena to host the Utah Hockey Club. Vegas has been a scoring machine, averaging over 4 goals per game. They are also a perfect 7-0 on the strip. Utah started out of the gate on a winning note but have lost 4 of their last 5 and are revealing what they really are – a mediocre team at best.
TONIGHT’S PICK: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS

Tonight the 6-2-1 New York Rangers will be at the friendly confines, MSG, when they host the 5-4-0 Ottawa Senators. After winning 4 straight, the Rangers have hit a bump in the road, losing 2 of their last 3 but they will get back on track tonight. New York is 2-1-1 at the Garden and have won the last 2 meetings with the Sens. This will not be a walk in the park for New York. Ottawa can score, averaging over 4 goals per game, but away from Canada’s capital they are just 1-3-0.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK RANGERS

After going 0-5 to start the season, the Nashville Predators have won 3 of their last 4 and will be hosting the Edmonton Oilers tonight at Bridgestone Arena. The Oil will be without the best player on the planet, Connor McDavid, and without him they are nothing. It’s time for the Preds to pounce.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NASHVILLE PREDATORS

The Boston Bruins snapped their 3-game skid on Saturday with an OT win over the Toronto Maple Leafs so they should have plenty of momentum on their side when they host the bottom feeding Philadelphia Flyers tonight at TD Garden. The Bruins are 4-4-1 overall, 3-2-0 at home, and have had the 2-6-1 Flyers’ number. They have won 7 of the last 8 meetings with the Broad Street Bullies, average more goals per game and give up less.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BOSTON BRUINS

The Winnipeg Jets will have their perfect 7-0 record on the line tonight when they visit the Saddledome to face the 5-1-1 Calgary Flames. The Flames have had the Jets’ number, winning 3 of the last 4 meetings, and are 4-0 in the last 4 against them at home. Winnipeg was lucky to win their last game against the Seattle Kraken and will be wrapping up a 3-game road trip so they ripe for a loss. Calgary is expected to have Dustin Wolf between the pipes. Wolf is 3-0 with a 2.30 GAA and a .936 Sv%. Calgary matches up well with Winnipeg. The Flames are 3-1-0 at home and all good things must come to an end. Consider the home dog tonight.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CALGARY FLAMES

The New York Rangers return home tonight to MSG and will host the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers. The Rangers are clicking on every cylinder. They have won 4 straight, are 5-0-1 on the season, and 1-0-1 at the Garden. New York has been a scoring machine, averaging over 5 goals per game and allowing an average of just 2. The Champs are 4-3-1, 2-2-0 on the road, and will have their tail between their legs tonight after Tuesday’s 5-1 thumping by the Minnesota Wild in front of their home crowd.
