The Los Angeles Kings will try to remain perfect on the road this season when they continue their four-game trek against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday night. The Kings, who opened the trip with a 4-1 victory at Toronto on Tuesday, improved to an NHL-best 5-0-0 on the road with a 3-2 win at Ottawa on Thursday.

St. Louis Blues vs. Montreal Canadiens Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 4th 2023

Last season, the rebuilding Montreal Canadiens stayed focused on player development while sliding to their 31-45-6 finish. This season they are looking to translate growth into more victories. “The group steered us in that direction,” Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis said. “We have to make decisions that help us get the two points, but also we have to factor in the youth of our club and where we want to be.” Montreal earned points in

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Buffalo Sabres Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 4th 2023

The Toronto Maple Leafs will be out to end a three-game losing streak Saturday night when they open a five-game homestand against the Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres should be highly motivated after taking a 5-1 home loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday night. The Maple Leafs lost 3-2 in a shootout against the host Boston Bruins on Thursday. Toronto also lost 3-2 in overtime to the host Nashville Predators on Oct. 28 and 4-1

Vancouver Canucks vs. Dallas Stars Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 4th 2023

The high-flying Dallas Stars haven’t skipped a beat from last season as they get set on Saturday to visit the equally-hot Vancouver Canucks, who are making an early case for the NHL’s best Canadian team. The Stars are one of a handful of preseason favorites to challenge for the Stanley Cup, while Vancouver is raising eyebrows for its ability to win consistently on the road. Both teams have 15 points. Dallas is looking for its

Minnesota Wild vs. New York Rangers Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 4th 2023

The New York Rangers will try to extend their NHL-best winning streak to seven games in a row when they visit the Minnesota Wild on Saturday evening in St. Paul, Minn. New York is coming off a 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday. The Rangers have raced to an 8-2-0 start, which represents their second-best start after 10 games in franchise history. Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba credited head coach Peter Laviolette and the

San Jose Sharks vs. Pittsburgh Penguins Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 4th 2023

When the Pittsburgh Penguins hit the road to face the San Jose Sharks on Saturday, it will be more than just another game for Erik Karlsson. Karlsson will make his return to the city where he spent five seasons, among them the 101-point campaign for which he captured the Norris Trophy last season as the league’s best defenseman. “I got a lot of good memories there,” said Karlsson, who was traded to the Penguins in

Seattle Kraken vs. Calgary Flames Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 4th 2023

The winning formula for the Seattle Kraken is quite simple: score three or more goals. The Kraken improved to 4-0-0 this season when reaching that mark in a 4-2 victory Thursday against visiting Nashville as Jared McCann scored his team-leading sixth goal of the season and added an assist. The Kraken will put that to the test again when they host the struggling Calgary Flames on Saturday night. The Flames dropped a 4-3 decision Wednesday

Chicago Blackhawks vs. Florida Panthers Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 4th 2023

Thanks to the schedule makers, the Chicago Blackhawks’ most lopsided loss of the early season has lingered through the work week. Saturday’s visit from the Florida Panthers comes five days after Monday’s 8-1 drubbing at Arizona that saw the Coyotes storm to eight unanswered goals after Chicago rookie Connor Bedard scored 28 seconds into the game. “In a weird way, I’m glad we get to chew on this one,” Chicago forward Nick Foligno said. “This

New York Islanders vs. Carolina Hurricanes Pick & Prediction NOVEMBER 4th 2023

The first meeting between teams one season after a playoff clash often provides an opportunity to reignite some old feuds. But on Saturday night, the New York Islanders and Carolina Hurricanes will be far more concerned with finding a spark on offense and staying out of the penalty box than revisiting the results of their Eastern Conference first-round series last spring. The Metropolitan Division rivals will meet for the first time in more than six
