The Florida Panthers make the second of 2 stops in the New York City metropolitan area with a visit to face the New Jersey Devils. The defending champions picked up a 1-0 win in the most recent meeting on Nov. 20, while New Jersey won 3-1 in the first meeting on Oct. 16 in Newark. The home team has cashed in each of the first 2 games, while also cashing as a moderate favorite (-150) in both meetings, while the Under cashed in each of the games, too. The Devils have won 3 of the past 5 in the series, while the Under has hit in 3 in a row, and 7 of the past 10 meetings.

For Florida, it is struggling to get into the playoff picture, and it lost a disappointing 5-4 game against the New York Islanders last time out, its second straight 1-goal loss. It can’t leave many more points on the ice if it hopes to qualify for the playoffs. The Panthers are just 2-7-0 in the past 9 games, collecting just 4 out of a possible 18 points. If Florida misses the playoffs, it can look to this stretch as the reason why. New Jersey posted a 3-1 win on the road against the St. Louis Blues on Saturday. It is just 1-5-0 in the past 6 games, while the Under has cashed in 7 consecutive outings.

Panthers vs Devils prediction: Under 5.5 (+100) available at time of publishing. Playable to -110.

The Pittsburgh Penguins hit the road for TD Garden in Boston to try and exact a little revenge on the Bruins. The B’s have won three in a row in this series, including a 1-0 win at TD Garden on Jan. 11 in the first meeting this season as an even-money home underdog as Joonas Korpisalo stopped 27 shots to send Stuart Skinner to a hard-luck loss. The Pens are coming off a shutout, blanking the Vegas Golden Knights 5-0 on Sunday in a strong showing. Arturs Silovs did a great job in that game, stopping 22 shots in the shutout victory. Pittsburgh has picked up points in 5 straight, going 3-0-2 in that span while posting a 10-1-4 mark in the past 15 games to play themselves right back into the postseason picture.

The Bruins weren’t really expected to do much this season, but they’re knocking it out of the park this season, and they’re on the verge of making the playoffs after a shocking struggle last season. Boston lost 3-1 in Philadelphia on Saturday, but the Bruins are still 5-1-3 in the past 9 games, and 13-2-3 across the previous 18 outings, collecting 29 out of a possible 36 points in the span. Based on Boston’s strong showing in this series, and the fact the Bruins are 22-8-1 at home, let’s back Boston, but don’t get carried away.

Penguins vs Bruins prediction: Bruins ML (-120) available at time of publishing. Playable to -130.

The Utah Mammoth will take on the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. The Mammoth currently rank 6th in the Western Conference. Since the Olympic break, they have lost 2 of their 3 games. In those games, they have scored 7 goals while allowing 10 goals. For the Capitals, they have won 2 of their 3 games since the break but have been outscored 9-8 in total goals. These numbers show that neither team is scoring as they would hope and the defenses are slightly struggling. Not only is this form similar, on the season, these teams have very similar power play and penalty kill statistics. Overall, this is a statistically tight matchup.

I believe the edge can be found in the Capitals home form. They have won their last 5 home games and currently rank 3rd in the Eastern Conference with 41 points through 32 games. Additionally, through their last 5 home games they have scored 18 goals while only allowing 9 to the opposing teams. The Capitals are in a place to push for the playoffs as they only sit 2 points behind the Boston Bruins who sit at 8th in the Eastern Conference. All things considered, the Capitals rank 4th in total shots on goal this season and play significantly better when they are at home. Let’s with Washington to get the win at home on Tuesday.

Mammoth vs Capitals Prediction: Capitals ML (-125) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

An intriguing matchup awaits on Tuesday night as the Vegas Golden Knights take on the Buffalo Sabres. Vegas’ Jack Eichel was a part of Team USA’s Gold medal winning team at the Olympics, and he will now make his return to Buffalo to face his former team for the 6th time in his career. Eichel has seen great success against his former squad in the previous 5 games, as he’s potted 6 goals and racked up 8 points. The Golden Knights were shut out against the Penguins on Sunday, so Eichel and company should come out firing looking to right the ship. Buffalo goaltender Alex Lyon has been a bit reason why the Sabres have catapulted up the Eastern Conference standings, but his goals-against average jumped from 1.77 in January to 3.05 in February. Look for Vegas to find some offensive success against Lyon in this one.

On the other side, the Sabres are coming off an impressive 6-2 win over the Lightning on Saturday. The offense continues to hum, as the Sabres now rank 7th in the NHL scoring 3.38 goals per game. Vegas’ goaltending situation continues to be a mess, as their team save percentage of .880 is among the lowest in the league. Adin Hill is projected to be between the pipes in this matchup, and he owns a less-than-ideal .858 save percentage to go along with a 3.58 goals-against average in 14 games this season. He’s allowed 9 goals over his last 2 starts, which doesn’t warrant much confidence when going up against a high-flying Buffalo offense. Look to the over on Tuesday.

Golden Knights vs Sabres prediction: Over 6 (-120) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

The Chicago Blackhawks wrap up a five-game road trip against the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre. The Blackhawks have struggled to put the biscuit in the basket, going 1-3-0 in the first four games on the journey, totaling seven goals while allowing 11 goals. And, a majority of the scoring came in Sunday’s 4-0 shutout win at Utah behind backup goaltender Arvid Soderblom. Despite the heroics, it’s likely back to Spencer Knight for Tuesday’s game. And, he hasn’t necessarily been bad recently, but his offense just hasn’t been supporting him on the other end. In fact, the Under is 4-0 in the past 4 games for Chicago. Knight did start the January 19 meeting with the Jets at United Center, a 2-0 win, where he received very little support then, too, but he did the work himself.

The Jets have also had some issues scoring, going for 2.3 goals per game in the past 4 games, and just 2.1 GPG across the past 10 outings. The Under is 3-1 in the past 4 contests, while going 5-3-1 in Connor Hellebuyck’s past 9 starts. He was on the opposite end of that Knight shutout in Chicago, so he’ll be looking to exact a little revenge at home. Goals should be at a premium in Tuesday’s outing.

Blackhawks vs Jets prediction: Under 5.5 (+100) available at time of publishing. Playable to -110.

After picking up a 6-1 win over the Canucks on Monday, the Stars head to Calgary for a Tuesday night matchup against the Flames at Scotiabank Saddledome. With Mikko Rantanen sidelined with a lower body injury, Dallas got great depth scoring on Monday with a pair of goals from Lian Bichsel, as well as goals from Adam Erne and Colin Blackwell. That kind of production is great to see if you’re a Stars fan, but it’s tough to expect those results on a night-in night-out basis. Along with Rantanen being out, Roope Hintz is also questionable for this matchup with an illness. With that in mind, it would be a bit surprising to see the Stars put up another monster offensive night in this one, especially when playing on the second half of a road back-to-back.

On the other side, the Flames have been among the lowest-scoring teams in the NHL all season long. They rank 31st in the league scoring 2.47 goals per game, and their power play percentage of 16.4% ranks 27th. Calgary’s leading scorer is veteran forward Nazem Kadri, who has 41 points in 59 games. Dallas is a tough defensive team to play against, and Calgary may have some issues getting things going in the offensive zone. When these teams met earlier this season back in November, a total of 5 goals were scored with just 4 coming in regulation time. I am expecting a similar result this time around.

Stars vs Flames prediction: Under 5.5 (+105) available at time of publishing. Playable at that number.

The Ottawa Senators make the second stop on a 5-game trip with a visit against the Edmonton Oilers. The Sens kicked off the journey with a 5-2 win in Toronto, but these days, that’s not much of a feat. Ottawa should get a much tougher challenge against the two-time defending Western Conference champions. The Oilers won the first meeting back in October in Canada’s capital city by a 3-2 score in overtime, with rearguard Jake Walman ruining the night for the Sens with a power-play goal in overtime. Stuart Skinner was in net then, but he is now plying his trade in Pittsburgh. Linus Ullmark allowed three goals on 25 shots, and he remains in Ottawa.

For the Oilers, win or lose lately, it’s been an adventure. The Oilers are just 1-5-0 in the past 6 outings, but it’s been rather high-scoring, especially if you’re the opposition. Edmonton has scored 42 goals across the past nine games, or 4.7 goals per game. Over the past 10 games, Edmonton has allowed 4.6 goals per game in the span. With that in mind, we should see plenty of lamp lighting in the northlands on Tuesday.

Senators vs Oilers prediction: Over 6.5 (-130) available at time of publishing. Playable to -140.

The Tampa Bay Lightning and Minnesota Wild hit the ice for a major NHL matchup on Tuesday. These teams have both shown to be elite this season, and that should lead to a compelling contest. These franchises have not met since November 1st of 2024, and we are here to provide our Lightning vs. Wild prediction to get you set for the action.

After storming out of the Olympic break by pounding the mighty Colorado Avalanche 5-2, Minnesota has suffered a pair of regulation losses against very beatable teams (St. Louis Blues and Utah Mammoth). These losses should light a major spark under them, as they are fighting for positioning in a tough Central Division, and are within range of climbing if they can regain consistency. Lately, Tampa Bay has struggled as well with 2 straight regulation losses. They have also shown an inability to keep the puck out of the net with a 4.33 goals against average in three games since returning from the Olympics.

Now they hit the road to face a tough team in a tough building, so it is hard to expect a major bounce back in that department. Minnesota has also been very strong on home ice, posting a 17-7-7 record this season. This will be a tight battle, but we are siding with Minnesota on the money line in this clash of the titans. 

Lightning vs Wild prediction: Wild ML (+110) available at time of publishing. Playable to -110.

The Colorado Avalanche hit the ice for the second straight night when they take on the Anaheim Ducks in this west coast clash. This is the second of a three-game road trip, where they are coming off a win last night. How will this game game shake out? Here is our Avalanche vs. Ducks prediction.

Colorado has won back-to-back games, and 4 of their last 5 contests. The Avalanche are an elite team, but they could be in for a tough matchup in this one. Anaheim is on an absolute tear and are really feeling themselves. They have won 5 straight games, with an offense that is firing on all cylinders (4.4 goals per game over that span). They are on home ice where they have excelled with a 20-8-1 record. Some mediocre mid-season play has them requiring far more work if they are to win the Pacific Division, but depending on how this night in the NHL plays out, they could own the division lead by tomorrow. This red-hot Anaheim team will relish the opportunity in front of them, and put their best foot forward on their way to a win as a home underdog. We’ll take Anaheim on the money line.

Avalanche vs Ducks prediction: Ducks ML (+125) available at time of publishing. Playable to +100.

The Montreal Canadiens meet the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday in the NHL. These intra-conference opponents have yet to meet this season, but since 2023 the Canadiens have owned the Sharks, winning 4 of 5 meetings. Here is our Canadiens vs. Sharks prediction to see how this one may play out.

In a short sample size, Montreal has done great since returning from the Olympics. They are 1-0-1, and have scored 9 goals over the last 2 games. They should also be well rested, as this is just they have played just twice since the league returned 6 days ago. They have a healthy roster and have shown excellent consistency, and they’ve got lots of work to do in an ultra-competitive Atlantic Division. As for San Jose, the results have been there for the most part, but they have beaten just two playoff teams since January 10 (14 games). The Canadiens are a major threat, and I expect them to be fresh, fast, and secure these 2 points on the road. We’ll be siding with Montreal on the money line in this one. 

Canadiens vs Sharks prediction: Canadiens ML (-130) available at time of publishing. Playable to -160.
