Kraken vs Hurricanes
- Time: 1 p.m. ET
- TV: SN1
- Analyst: Dustin Saracini
Player prop: Seth Jarvis 1+ point
Dustin Saracini's Kraken vs. Hurricanes predictions target Jarvis to find the scoresheet after Carolina overwhelmed Seattle in Thursday's Global Series opener. Despite skating on the third line, Jarvis generated opportunities alongside Taylor Hall in the 4-1 win, and Saracini expects the Hurricanes' forecheck to produce more chances.
Goal scorer: Sebastian Aho anytime goal
Aho scored twice in Thursday's win and has four goals in November. His line with William Carrier and Andrei Svechnikov ranks fourth in the NHL in expected-goals percentage, giving Saracini reason to back another goal against Seattle.
Senators vs Penguins
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: SN1, ESPN+
- Analyst: Todd Cordell
Player prop: Jake Sanderson Over 0.5 points
Todd Cordell's Senators vs. Penguins predictions back Sanderson to record a point against a Pittsburgh club allowing 3.47 goals per game. Ottawa has generated more expected goals with Sanderson on the ice than with any other player since his return, and Cordell considers the point prop playable to 58%.
Goal scorer: Dylan Cozens anytime goal
Cozens has attempted 23 shots in four games on Ottawa's top line alongside Tim Stutzle. He also shares power-play time with the Senators' leading playmaker, while Pittsburgh ranks 24th in goals against and 26th in save percentage. Cordell would back the goal prop up to 34%.
Avalanche vs Canadiens
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: ESPN+, ALT2, KTVD, SNE, TVAS
- Analyst: Luc LeBlanc
Player prop: Lane Hutson Over 0.5 assists
Luc LeBlanc's Avalanche vs. Canadiens predictions back Hutson to extend his strong playmaking run. The Montreal defenseman leads his club with 15 assists, including eight in his last seven games, and averages 24:47 of ice time. He also has three assists in four career meetings with Colorado.
Goal scorer: Cole Caufield anytime goal
Caufield has scored 25 times in 28 Saturday games since the start of last season, including seven goals in his past seven home outings. He has scored in 58.1% of his home games since January 1 and leads Montreal in both expected goals (8.2) and goals per 60 minutes (2.06).
Oilers vs Maple Leafs
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: Sportsnet
- Analyst: Dustin Saracini
Player prop: Connor McDavid 2+ points
Dustin Saracini's Oilers vs. Maple Leafs predictions look for a multi-point night from McDavid, who has spoken about the significance of playing in Toronto as a childhood Leafs fan. Saracini targets a Maple Leafs defense that has struggled to keep opponents off the scoresheet.
Goal scorer: Auston Matthews anytime goal
Matthews remains a key shooter on a Toronto power play converting 27% of its chances. Saracini points to Edmonton's middling penalty kill and Matthews' shot-attempt volume, which ranks 33rd in the league per 60 minutes, as reasons to back him to score at home.
Flames vs Kings
- Time: 10 p.m. ET
- TV: Sportsnet
- Analyst: Dustin Saracini
Player prop: Joel Farabee Over 0.5 points
Dustin Saracini's Flames vs. Kings predictions target Calgary's leading point producer. Farabee has averaged 3.6 shots over his last five games, scored in two of his past three, and leads the Flames with 6.7 expected goals. The Kings are allowing 3.53 goals per game and have killed just 66% of penalties.
Goal scorer: Kevin Fiala anytime goal
Fiala is set to make his season debut for Los Angeles in a second-line role with time on the top power-play unit. Saracini backs the forward to make an immediate scoring impact with those opportunities.
