Seattle’s first regulation loss in nearly a month snapped a long point streak, but the bigger takeaway was how hard the Kraken made scoring on themselves. They only managed 12 shots on goal at Carolina, and that is a style warning, not just a box score note. If they cannot generate clean looks, they leave too much to variance. New York is dealing with a different kind of problem: the floor has collapsed. The Rangers are coming off a 10-2 loss in Boston, they’re playing without Igor Shesterkin and Adam Fox, and Jonathan Quick has been under siege. This sets up as a classic “desperate bounce back” spot, but desperation doesn’t fix coverage or goaltending by itself. These are current

Tampa Bay heads back to Philadelphia on Monday night with everything rolling. The Lightning just crushed the Flyers 7-2 in this building on Saturday, and they’ve turned a messy stretch into the NHL’s hottest run with nine straight wins. Nikita Kucherov is driving it, but this streak has also had depth scoring and steady goaltending, which is why it feels real. For the Flyers, this is the kind of rematch that tells you a lot. Either they tighten their puck decisions and compete level right from the opening faceoff, or Tampa’s transition game and power play put them in chase mode again.

The Canucks are in a stretch where they’re chasing games early, leaking goals in bunches, and asking their goaltending to survive too many broken plays. Montreal also took a shutout loss Saturday, but their month-long form still looks like a team built to contend in the Atlantic. The Canadiens’ edge here is stability: stronger five-on-five detail, better puck management, and far fewer “self-inflicted” sequences that hand opponents free offense. These are the current betting lines, and bettors should monitor updated NHL odds as goalie confirmation can move both the side and total. Vancouver’s

Toronto walks into Denver playing its best hockey of the month, but this is the wrong building to test a hot streak. Colorado is 17-0 in its last 17 at home, and they’ve been banking wins even while missing key names. That’s the part that changes the handicap: the Avalanche don’t need everything perfect to win at Ball Arena right now. The Leafs have their own momentum, winning three straight and seven of their last nine overall, with the only losses in that stretch coming in overtime. They’re healthier up front with William Nylander back in the mix, but this is still a matchup where one sloppy five-minute segment can end it, especially if Colorado’s top line gets the game
