NHL Previews

Florida Panthers vs Carolina Hurricanes Picks and Predictions – Friday January 16, 2026 Carolina finally got blanked for the first time all season, and now they come home with extra days to sit in it. That’s usually a good thing for a process-driven team, but it can also tighten the grip early if the first period starts slow again. The

San Jose Sharks vs Detroit Red Wings Picks and Predictions – Friday January 16, 2026 Detroit is still searching for the cleanest forward mix, and that matters for bettors because line chemistry shows up in shot quality and special teams far faster than it shows up in final scores.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs St. Louis Blues Picks and Predictions – Friday January 16, 2026 Tampa Bay’s heater is real, and now it’s about history.

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.
