Seattle Kraken vs Philadelphia Flyers Picks and Predictions December 28th 2025

December 28, 2025 By Scores And Stats | NHL

The Philadelphia Flyers head to Seattle on Sunday night to face the Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena, with puck drop set for 9:00 PM ET. Both teams come out of the holiday break feeling good about where they left off. Philadelphia won back-to-back games to steady its footing in the East, and Seattle swept a three-game California trip that pulled them right back toward the Western Conference wild-card picture. The matchup has a clear theme for bettors. Philadelphia’s recent wins have come with more mature, lower-risk hockey and timely special teams. Seattle’s surge has been tied to goaltending and a collective five-on-five effort that finally looks connected again after a rough slump. Four days off can help legs, but it

Columbus Blue Jackets vs New York Islanders Picks and Predictions December 28th 2025

December 28, 2025 By Scores And Stats | NHL

The New York Islanders head to Columbus on Sunday night to face the Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena, with puck drop set for 6:00 PM ET on ESPN+. It’s a Metropolitan Division matchup with two teams trending in different directions coming out of the break and a big goaltending storyline driving the handicap. New York is on a back-to-back after a 2-0 win over the Rangers, and they’ve been one of the steadier teams in December despite missing important pieces. Columbus has been idle since Monday, and while the Jackets got a good road win in Los Angeles, the bigger sample is still a slide that’s dragged them down the standings. The key angle here is that the Islanders are

Tampa Bay Lightning vs Montréal Canadiens Picks and Predictions December 28th 2025

December 28, 2025 By Scores And Stats | NHL

The Montreal Canadiens come out of the holiday break Sunday night to face the Tampa Bay Lightning at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, with puck drop set for 10:00 PM ET on ESPN+. Montreal has played its way into the top of the Atlantic mix, and this road spot matters because it’s part of a long trip where the Habs are trying to prove they can bank points away from home. Tampa Bay is in the same points neighborhood, but the setup is different. The Lightning are on the second half of a back to back after an extremely physical, penalty-heavy win Saturday. That kind of game can either carry momentum or leave you flat, especially when you turn around

Detroit Red Wings vs Toronto Maple Leafs Picks and Predictions December 28th 2025

December 28, 2025 By Scores And Stats | NHL

The Toronto Maple Leafs head to Detroit on Sunday night to face the Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena, with puck drop set for 7:00 PM ET on TNT. It’s a divisional matchup with both teams on short rest, but they’re coming in from very different places. Detroit is leading the Atlantic, while Toronto is sitting at the bottom and trying to find any kind of stable stretch. Detroit is coming off a 5-2 loss in Carolina on Saturday where the legs weren’t there for most of the game. Toronto just played a wild 7-5 win over Ottawa, and now has to turn around quickly with travel and a possible lineup question around William Nylander, who left Saturday’s game with

Chicago Blackhawks vs Pittsburgh Penguins Picks and Predictions December 28th 2025

December 28, 2025 By Scores And Stats | NHL

The Pittsburgh Penguins head to Chicago on Sunday night to face the Blackhawks at United Center, with puck drop set for 7:00 PM ET on ESPN+. Pittsburgh has been stuck in a rough December stretch, going 1-5-4 over the last 10, while Chicago is trying to build a little momentum after snapping a losing skid with a shootout win in Dallas. The Blackhawks are still dealing with the same problem that has defined their last couple weeks: no Connor Bedard and no Frank Nazar. They found some offense anyway in that Dallas win, but it’s still a thinner lineup than usual, and that shapes how you look at both the side and the total. Pittsburgh comes in priced as the
