Lightning vs Sabres
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: TNT
- Analyst: Dustin Saracini
Player prop: Yanni Gourde 1+ point
Dustin Saracini's Lightning vs. Sabres predictions target Gourde's promotion to Tampa Bay's top line. His increased opportunity comes against a Buffalo defense allowing 3.29 goals per game, and the preview quotes 39% for him to record a point.
Goal scorer: Nikita Kucherov anytime goal
Kucherov has 23 goals in 43 career meetings with Buffalo, including four goals in four matchups last season. Saracini also likes his power-play opportunity against a Sabres penalty kill ranked 26th.
Flyers vs Oilers
- Time: 9 p.m. ET
- TV: NBCSP, Sportsnet West
- Analyst: Neil Parker
Player prop: Trevor Zegras 2+ shots
Neil Parker's Flyers vs. Oilers predictions back Zegras to put up at least two shots, a mark he has reached in nine of his past 13 games. He averages 18:45 of ice time and faces an Edmonton team ranked 27th in five-on-five shot share.
Goal scorer: Zach Hyman anytime goal
Hyman has generated 2.78 individual expected goals and 15 high-danger chances during a six-game goal drought. Parker expects his finishing to improve from a 6.7% shooting rate and would play the anytime goal prop up to 36%.
Mammoth vs Golden Knights
- Time: 9:30 p.m. ET
- TV: TNT, Sportsnet+
- Analyst: Neil Parker
Player prop: Trevor Connelly 1+ point
Neil Parker's Mammoth vs. Golden Knights predictions highlight Connelly's promotion to the Golden Knights' top line. His projected line has controlled 70% of expected goals in a small 25:16 sample at 5-on-5, and he has 12 points through 19 games.
Goal scorer: Anders Lee anytime goal
Lee has just one goal in his past 12 games despite producing 3.81 individual expected goals and 16 high-danger chances. Parker targets a better return from that volume and would back him to score up to 29%.
Penguins vs Sharks
- Time: 10 p.m. ET
- TV: SN+, ESPN+
- Analyst: Todd Cordell
Player prop: Erik Karlsson Over 0.5 assists
Todd Cordell's Penguins vs. Sharks predictions back Karlsson, who has 15 assists through 18 games. He has collected a helper in seven of eight matchups against teams ranked among the bottom 12 defensively, and the Sharks are tied for 24th in goals allowed.
Goal scorer: Rickard Rakell anytime goal
Rakell leads Pittsburgh in shots, unblocked attempts, and expected goals despite a slow start. Cordell also highlights his extensive shared ice time with Karlsson as a link between the two selections and would play the goal prop up to 39%.
