Rangers vs. Oilers

  • Time: 8 p.m. ET
  • TV: MSG, Sportsnet+
  • Analyst: Neil Parker

Player prop: Tye Kartye 2+ shots

Neil Parker's Rangers vs. Oilers predictions highlight Kartye's consistent shot production: he has recorded two or more shots in eight of his last nine games. His top-six role and recent work on New York's second power-play unit support the pick, which Parker recommends up to 58%.

Goal scorer: Connor McDavid anytime goal

McDavid has scored just twice in eight games despite generating 2.83 individual expected goals and 11 high-danger chances during that span. Parker points to his 15.2% shooting percentage across the previous four regular seasons and would play his anytime-goal selection up to 52%.

Flyers vs. Canucks

Player prop: Joseph Woll 23+ saves

Dustin Saracini's Flyers vs. Canucks predictions expect Woll to face enough volume to reach 23 saves. Philadelphia allows nearly 30 shots per game and ranks 28th in unblocked shot attempts allowed, setting up a potentially busy night for the netminder.

Goal scorer: Trevor Zegras anytime goal

Zegras leads the Flyers in expected goals and is logging more than 18 minutes per game. He also runs a Philadelphia power play that has scored twice in its last three games, while Vancouver is averaging 10.5 penalty minutes per contest, giving Saracini a reason to back Zegras to score.

Islanders vs. Sharks

  • Time: 10 p.m. ET
  • TV: ESPN+, MSGSN, TVAS
  • Analyst: Luc LeBlanc

Player prop: Matthew Schaefer 3+ shots

Luc LeBlanc's Islanders vs. Sharks predictions target Schaefer's remarkable volume. The defenseman has attempted at least five shots in every game and averages 3.56 shots on goal, while San Jose has surrendered an NHL-high 925 unblocked shot attempts and 414 shots at five-on-five.

Goal scorer: Matthew Schaefer anytime goal

Schaefer has scored in four of his last seven games after opening the season with a nine-game goal drought. He is averaging 26:48 of ice time and leads defensemen with 2.7 expected goals over his last 10 games, supporting a second selection on the young Islander.
