Bruins vs Hurricanes
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: ESPN, SN360
- Analyst: Dustin Saracini
Player prop: Pavel Zacha 1+ point
Dustin Saracini's Bruins vs. Hurricanes predictions back Zacha to produce alongside David Pastrnak and on Boston's top power-play unit. Zacha has recorded a point in five of his past seven games while averaging nearly 19 minutes, giving him steady opportunities to get on the scoresheet.
Goal scorer: Logan Stankoven anytime goal
Stankoven has scored four times across his past three games and leads Carolina in expected goals and high-danger shots. Saracini points to his partnership with Jackson Blake as another reason to expect the scoring chances to continue.
Kings vs Blackhawks
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: SN+, ESPN+
- Analyst: Todd Cordell
Player prop: Artemi Panarin Over 2.5 shots
Todd Cordell's Kings vs. Blackhawks predictions target Panarin, who has topped 2.5 shots in eight of his past nine games while averaging 3.2 shots. Chicago ranks 29th in shots allowed, and Cordell would play this prop up to 57%.
Goal scorer: Connor Bedard anytime goal
Cordell favors Bedard against a Los Angeles team playing its fifth road game in eight nights and allowing more than 30 shots per game away from home. Bedard leads Chicago in shots and expected goals since returning to the lineup, with the goal prop playable up to 39%.
Canadiens vs Blues
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: TSN2, ESPN+
- Analyst: Todd Cordell
Player prop: Robert Thomas Over 0.5 assists
Todd Cordell's Canadiens vs. Blues predictions target Thomas' passing against a Montreal top line missing Nick Suzuki. Thomas also works on the first power-play unit against the NHL's most frequently shorthanded team, making an assist playable up to 54%.
Goal scorer: Jimmy Snuggerud anytime goal
Snuggerud has scored five goals in seven games and leads St. Louis in even-strength shot attempts. His substantial power-play role creates another opportunity against Montreal's penalty-prone lineup, and Cordell would back him to score up to 34%.
Senators vs Golden Knights
- Time: 10 p.m. ET
- TV: Sportsnet+
- Analyst: Dustin Saracini
Player prop: Mitch Marner 1+ assist
Dustin Saracini's Senators vs. Golden Knights predictions highlight Marner's playmaking against Ottawa's vulnerable goaltending. Marner has 10 assists through 11 games, and his prominent role on Vegas' top power-play unit gives him another way to add a helper.
Goal scorer: Jack Eichel anytime goal
Eichel leads Vegas in five-on-five expected goals and ranks second on the team in high-danger shot attempts. Saracini also highlights Ottawa's nearly 12 penalty minutes per game, which could give Eichel more opportunities with the man advantage.
Sabres vs Sharks
- Time: 10:30 p.m. ET
- TV: ESPN
- Analyst: Neil Parker
Player prop: Rasmus Dahlin 3+ shots on goal
Neil Parker's Sabres vs. Sharks predictions target Dahlin against a San Jose team allowing the second-most shots to opposing defensemen. Dahlin averages 24:47 of ice time and ranks second among blueliners with 7.98 shots per 60 minutes; Parker would play three or more shots up to 55%.
Goal scorer: Macklin Celebrini anytime goal
Celebrini's expected-goals rate remains slightly above last season's level, even as his shooting percentage has slipped from 15.7% to 12.5%. Parker sees an opportunity against Buffalo's struggling defense and recommends Celebrini to score at probabilities up to 45%.
