Buffalo Sabres vs Columbus Blue Jackets Picks and Predictions April 9th 2026
The Columbus Blue Jackets head to KeyBank Center on Thursday night in a game that still carries real pressure for both sides, even if the pressure is a little different. Columbus is 39-27-12 and still chasing the final playoff spots in both the Metropolitan Division and the Eastern wild-card race, while Buffalo is 48-23-8 and now sits alone in first place in the Atlantic. Puck drop is set for 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+, and the scheduling spot matters because the Sabres are coming off a road win over the Rangers on Wednesday night. Columbus at least arrives with some life again after a 4-3 shootout win in Detroit snapped a six-game skid. Zach Werenski carried a huge load in

St. Louis Blues vs Winnipeg Jets Picks and Predictions April 9th 2026
The Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues meet Thursday night at Enterprise Center in a game that feels bigger than the records alone suggest. Winnipeg comes in at 34-31-12, St. Louis at 33-32-12, and both teams are still trying to hang around the Western wild-card picture with very little margin left. Puck drop is set for 8:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+, and with each club sitting on the edge of irrelevance, this is about as close to a must-win as an April regular-season game gets. The Jets look like the slightly hotter side coming in. They just beat Seattle 6-2 on Monday and have gone 6-2-0 over their last eight games, while the Blues are coming off a 3-1 home

Chicago Blackhawks vs Carolina Hurricanes Picks and Predictions April 9th 2026
Carolina heads to United Center on Thursday night with the Metropolitan Division already locked up, but the work is not finished. The Hurricanes are 50-22-6, they still have a shot at the No. 1 seed in the East, and this four-game road trip is really about holding that edge all the way into the postseason. Chicago, at 28-36-14, is out of the race, though it has already shown it can be annoying in spoiler spots and did beat Carolina in a shootout back on January 22. The scheduling spot matters here. Carolina has won four of five and just came off a wild 6-5 overtime win against Boston that clinched the division, while Chicago has dropped six of seven and

Dallas Stars vs Minnesota Wild Picks and Predictions April 9th 2026
This one looks like a playoff preview, and maybe it is. Minnesota comes into Dallas at 45-21-12 riding a four-game winning streak, while the Stars sit at 46-20-12 and are trying to hold off the Wild in the Central Division race. Puck drop is set for 9:00 p.m. ET at American Airlines Center on ESPN+, and with both teams already in the postseason mix, this game still matters for seeding, home ice, and a little bit of tone-setting before the bracket locks in. The Wild have looked sharper over the last week. They beat Seattle 5-2 on Tuesday, and before that they handled Ottawa, Vancouver, and Detroit during this run. Dallas is winning too, but it is doing it a

Utah Mammoth vs Nashville Predators Picks and Predictions April 9th 2026
The Nashville Predators head to Salt Lake City on Thursday night for one of the more important games on the Western Conference board. Nashville is 37-32-10 and clinging to the second wild-card spot, while Utah sits at 41-30-6 and holds the first wild card with a little more breathing room. The setting is Delta Center, puck drop is 9:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+, and the standings pressure is obvious for both sides. Nashville closes a six-game road trip here, and it has mostly gone well. The Predators followed an opening loss at Tampa Bay with a 3-0-1 run in their next four games, then blanked Anaheim 5-0 on Tuesday. Utah has been even hotter offensively, winning four straight and scoring
