Buffalo Sabres vs. Philadelphia Flyers Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 3rd 2023

The Sabres will aim for their second win over the Philadelphia Flyers in three nights when the two clubs meet in Buffalo on Friday. The quick rematch comes after a 5-2 Sabres victory Wednesday in Philadelphia, a result that Flyers defenseman Travis Sanheim found “frustrating” for his team. The Flyers outshot Buffalo by a lopsided 40-15 margin, and Joel Farabee scored to give Philadelphia the early lead just 55 seconds into the game. The score

Arizona Coyotes vs. Montreal Canadiens Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 2nd 2023

The Arizona Coyotes won’t have long to dwell on their Wednesday loss to the Anaheim Ducks, as they return home to face the Montreal Canadiens in Tempe, Ariz., on Thursday. Two teams that entered the season with lesser expectations, the Coyotes and Canadiens have strung together competitive campaigns so far. They sit on nine and 12 points, good for third and fourth in the Central and Atlantic Divisions, respectively. For the Canadiens, coming off a

Edmonton Oilers vs. Dallas Stars Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 2nd 2023

Stringing together wins on the young season has not been easy for the Edmonton Oilers. The same can’t be said for the surging Dallas Stars. Looking to build on just their second victory, the Oilers try to cool off the visiting Stars on Thursday night. To say Edmonton’s 2-5-1 start is a major disappointment would be a severe understatement. The Oilers have been outscored 32-22 overall and totaled just five goals while going 0-2-1 on

Washington Capitals vs. New York Islanders Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 2nd 2023

The Washington Capitals aim to win their fourth straight game on Thursday when they host the New York Islanders. The Capitals began their winning streak with a 6-4 victory in New Jersey before capturing the first two contests of their five-game homestand. Washington followed up a 3-2 shootout win over the Minnesota Wild last Friday with a 3-1 victory over the winless San Jose Sharks on Sunday. “It hasn’t been easy, certainly,” Capitals coach Spencer

New York Rangers vs. Carolina Hurricanes Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 2nd 2023

The first month of the Peter Laviolette era ended with the New York Rangers completing their first unbeaten five-game road trip in team history. Off to a strong start under their new coach, the Rangers seek a sixth straight win Thursday night when they host the Carolina Hurricanes. The Rangers are playing their third home game this season and first since looking flat and getting outplayed in a 4-1 loss to the Nashville Predators two

Detroit Red Wings vs. Florida Panthers Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 2nd 2023

The Detroit Red Wings averted a four-game winless streak with a late rally on Monday. They’ll look to ride that momentum into their home game against Florida on Thursday. Lucas Raymond’s overtime goal capped the Wings comeback against the New York Islanders. Detroit trailed 2-0 entering the third period and emerged with a 4-3 win. “In the third period and being down a couple (goals), a couple games in a row, and we haven’t been

Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 2nd 2023

The Columbus Blue Jackets have not had the start to the new campaign they wanted, but perhaps the best strategy Thursday would be to somehow take the Tampa Bay Lightning to overtime. Winning just three of its first nine games, the Metro Division club hosts the Lightning in the first of three matchups, two of them taking place in Ohio’s capital. If Thursday’s contest does go to overtime, something will ultimately have to give or

Ottawa Senators vs. Los Angeles Kings Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 2nd 2023

The Los Angeles Kings will try to continue their dominance on the road when they visit the Ottawa Senators on Thursday night. The Kings are 4-0-0 in away games this season, including Tuesday’s 4-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Ten different Los Angeles players had at least one point, and goalie Cam Talbot again was sharp in stopping 29 of 30 shots. “(Toronto) is a tough building to play in,” Talbot said. “They come

Anaheim Ducks vs. Arizona Coyotes Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 1st 2023

After sweeping a four-game road trip for the first time in a decade, the Anaheim Ducks will open a five-game homestand on Wednesday night when they host the Arizona Coyotes. The Ducks concluded their trip, which began with wins at Columbus, Boston and Philadelphia, with a dramatic 4-3 victory at Pittsburgh on Monday night. Mason McTavish exited the penalty box after the first penalty of a 5-on-3 Pittsburgh power play expired, took a push pass
