Our opening and featured game of NHL predictions has the Devils making the trip to Sunrise to face the Panthers. Jake Allen is the confirmed starter for New Jersey, which is 5-4-1 in the last 10 games. However, the Devils are coming off a 5-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning in their previous outing. New Jersey did get a 3-1 win over Florida on October 16. Leading goal-scorer Jack Hughes will be out for this game, so the offensive output witll have to be picked up by players like Jesper Bratt.
Sergei Bobrovsky is the expected starter for the Panthers, but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter, Florida is 6-3-1 in the 10 games and are coming off a wild 8-5 victory over the Vancouver Canucks. The Panthers struggled out of the gate with injuries, but Paul Maurice’s team has adapted. Brad Marchand is first on the team in goals (13) and points (23) for Florida.
It seems that the Panthers are starting to turn back into contenders. The hosts should get the win over the banged-up Devils.
Prediction: Panthers win 4-2.
