Arizona Coyotes vs. San Jose Sharks Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 15th 2023

The San Jose Sharks won’t feel any sympathy for the Arizona Coyotes when the teams meet Friday night in Tempe, Ariz. The Coyotes have lost a season-high four straight games, blunting a five-game winning streak in which they knocked off the past six Stanley Cup champions. The Sharks certainly are familiar with long losing streaks after dropping their first 11 games this season. San Jose also has shown how quickly momentum can swing, as the

New York Rangers vs. Anaheim Ducks Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 15th 2023

The New York Rangers are struggling with their attention to detail lately, especially with their defensemen. With three lopsided losses in their past four games, the Rangers will focus on their recent defensive woes Friday night when they play host to the skidding Anaheim Ducks. New York vaulted to the early lead in the Metropolitan Division by getting off to a 12-2-1 start. The torrid opening was highlighted by an 11-game points streak from Oct.

New York Islanders vs. Boston Bruins Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 15th 2023

The New York Islanders will look to extend one streak and end another on Friday when they host the Boston Bruins in Elmont, N.Y. The Islanders will attempt to extend their season-high winning streak to five games with a victory on Friday. That result would also prevent a sixth consecutive loss to the Bruins. Amid a 9-1-4 stretch, New York also has earned at least one point in seven straight games (6-0-1) following a 4-3

Los Angeles Kings vs. Winnipeg Jets Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 13th 2023

With their red-hot run of success on the road now cooled, the Los Angeles Kings will work on establishing more positives in their own building when they face the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday. The Kings won an NHL-record 11 consecutive games on the road to start a season before finally meeting some resistance, dropping consecutive games in New York. They lost 3-2 in overtime to the Islanders on Saturday, then fell 4-1 to the Rangers

Montreal Canadiens vs. Pittsburgh Penguins Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 13th 2023

The Pittsburgh Penguins head to Montreal on Wednesday coming off something of a breakthrough game. Now they’ll look to strike while the power play is hot when they play for the second night in a row as they visit the Canadiens. On Tuesday, Pittsburgh not only halted a four-game losing streak (0-2-2) and two-game regulation losing skid with a 4-2 win at home against the Arizona Coyotes, but the Penguins also burst what had been

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Calgary Flames Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 12th 2023

The Vegas Golden Knights will put an eight-game point streak on the line when they host the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night in Las Vegas. The Golden Knights, who lead the NHL with 43 points, are 5-0-3 over the eight-game span after a 5-4 shootout victory over visiting San Jose on Sunday. Vegas won despite blowing a 4-2 third-period lead with Mike Hoffman tying it for the Sharks with 39 seconds left to force overtime.

St. Louis Blues vs. Detroit Red Wings Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 12th 2023

The road-weary St. Louis Blues hope to regroup during their three-game homestand this week. That effort will start Tuesday when they host the depleted Detroit Red Wings. The Blues played 11 of their previous 15 games on the road. St. Louis lost four of its last five games to slip to 13-13-1. That downturn set the team’s focus for the week. “Hit the reset button, come home, get some wins and start stringing together wins,”

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Arizona Coyotes Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 12th 2023

There will be an interesting matchup Tuesday when the Arizona Coyotes visit the Pittsburgh Penguins. And that’s in addition to a game between two clubs trying to get into a playoff position. Arizona has lost three in a row since a five-game winning streak, while Pittsburgh has lost four straight (0-2-2). The game will mark the first time Arizona rookie Logan Cooley will face Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby. The ties between them might not be

New York Rangers vs. Toronto Maple Leafs Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 12th 2023

Toronto Maple Leafs center John Tavares faced his former team on Monday and reached elite status by notching his 1,000th career point off a frenetic sequence in the final seconds of regulation. However, he did not get to fully celebrate with the two points that go along with a win. The New York Rangers would like to keep Tavares from racking up any more points and prevent the visiting Maple Leafs from getting a victory
