The NHL-leading Boston Bruins return to work following the Thanksgiving holiday when they host a matinee Friday against the Detroit Red Wings.

Carolina Hurricanes vs. Edmonton Oilers Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 22nd 2023

Just when it seemed as if the Edmonton Oilers finally had found a rhythm, they might be amid another slide. The Oilers likely won’t have an easy time avoiding a third straight defeat Wednesday night in Raleigh, N.C., where the Carolina Hurricanes have been nearly unbeatable this season.
