Flyers vs Penguins Picks and Predictions – Thursday January 15, 2026 The Keystone State rivalry doesn’t need extra juice, but both sides bring urgency anyway. Philadelphia is in a four-game slide and just played Wednesday night, and the defensive leaks have been brutal lately. Pittsburgh is also stuck, but their three-game skid has been tight and low-scoring, the kind of stretch

Canadiens vs Sabres Picks and Predictions – Thursday January 15, 2026 Montreal walks into Buffalo with points in five of the last six, but Tuesday’s collapse in Washington is the kind that can linger. They played two clean periods, then let the game get away late, and that usually shows up in the next one as a team either tightens up

Canucks vs Blue Jackets Picks and Predictions – Thursday January 15, 2026 Vancouver hits the last stop of a rough road trip needing anything that looks like a clean 60. The effort has been there most nights, but the finishing has disappeared, and once they fall behind, they’re playing the whole game from the wrong script. That’s how you end

Sharks vs Capitals Picks and Predictions – Thursday January 15, 2026 San Jose opens a long road stretch Thursday night in Washington, and the matchup profile is clear: the Sharks want to play fast, trade chances, and let their young skill push pace. The Capitals want to control the middle, win the special teams margins, and turn this into a

Calgary’s been chasing games on this swing

Stars vs Mammoth Picks and Predictions – Thursday January 15, 2026 The Utah Mammoth get another home game Thursday in Salt Lake City, and right now they’re playing like a team that’s finally settled into a rhythm. They’ve pushed their point streak to five games, and the 6-1 thumping of Toronto with a 40-20 shot edge is the type of

Islanders vs Oilers Picks and Predictions – Thursday January 15, 2026 Edmonton gets back home Thursday night looking to turn a solid stretch into points again after letting a road game slip in overtime. The matchup is a clean one for bettors: a high-event Oilers team that can score in layers, versus an Islanders group that usually wants the game

The Seattle Kraken head to Newark to face the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday, January 14, 2026 at Prudential Center, with puck drop set for 7:00 p.m. ET on ESPN+. Seattle is 21-15-8 and playing like a team that’s finally comfortable in its own skin, going 9-1-2 over the last 12. New Jersey is 23-21-2 and coming off a much-needed
