New Jersey Devils vs Tampa Bay Lightning Picks and Predictions January 11th 2025
The New Jersey Devils have been among the NHL’s best on the power play this season, but recent struggles on the man advantage have coincided with a rough stretch in their campaign. As they return home to host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday in Newark, N.J., they’re desperate to regain their early-season spark against a stingy penalty-killing unit. Through their first 44 games, the Devils have converted 28% of their power-play opportunities, ranking second in the NHL. However, their performance has taken a sharp downturn since late December. After scoring three power-play goals in a 5-0 victory over the New York Rangers on Dec. 23, New Jersey has gone just 1-for-16 in its last seven games, with a 2-4-1

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators Picks and Predictions January 11th 2025
Sidney Crosby is set to make headlines once again as the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. Crosby, now ranked as the ninth-leading scorer in NHL history, leads a Penguins team eager to build momentum following a recent slump. Meanwhile, the Senators arrive in Pittsburgh desperate to reverse their own losing streak and re-establish their footing in the season. Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby continues to cement his legacy as one of the NHL’s greatest players. In Thursday’s 5-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers, Crosby notched a goal and two assists, pushing his career total to 1,643 points (604 goals, 1,039 assists). This achievement moved him past Hall of Famer Joe Sakic into ninth place on the all-time scoring

Buffalo Sabres vs Seattle Kraken Picks and Predictions January 11th 2025
The Buffalo Sabres and the Seattle Kraken, two NHL teams battling challenges, are set to clash on Saturday in Buffalo. While the Sabres are showing promising signs of resurgence, the Kraken are desperate to shake off a recent slump. This game marks a critical opportunity for both teams to steer their seasons in the right direction. The Buffalo Sabres, sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, have displayed a newfound determination. They’ve secured points in six of their last eight games (5-2-1), including back-to-back victories. Their latest triumph, a 4-0 shutout win over the Ottawa Senators, showcased their potential to play cohesive, winning hockey. Goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has been a cornerstone of the Sabres’ recent success. With 35

Philadelphia Flyers vs Anaheim Ducks Picks and Predictions January 11th 2025
As the Philadelphia Flyers host the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday night, both teams are desperate to rediscover their winning ways. Mired in poor performances and searching for answers, the matchup pits two struggling squads against each other in a quest to regain confidence and momentum. The Philadelphia Flyers are coming off a humbling 4-1 defeat to the Dallas Stars on Thursday, marking their fourth consecutive loss. The team’s recent performance has been grim, with only three wins in their last 12 games dating back to mid-December. Despite this, Flyers head coach John Tortorella remains adamant that the team has been competitive for much of the season. “We don’t play many bad games, even though our record is what it is,”

The Columbus Blue Jackets and St. Louis Blues are poised for a high-octane rematch Saturday night in St. Louis, following their thrilling 6-4 showdown just a week ago. With both teams in peak offensive form, fans can expect another action-packed clash. The Blue Jackets have been on fire, winning six of their last eight games and scoring four or more goals in each victory. Their recent 6-2 domination of the Seattle Kraken on Thursday showcased their potent offense and growing team cohesion. “The most important thing to this group is earning the two points,” Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason said. “This team plays for the win, not individual milestones, and that’s what makes them special.” Columbus is benefiting from the
