NHL Previews

Flames vs Blue Jackets Picks and Predictions – Tuesday January 13, 2026 Columbus gets the classic “new coach bump” spot on Tuesday, and it’s hard to ignore. The Blue Jackets made a major change Monday, handing the bench to Rick Bowness, and his first game comes immediately after Columbus snapped a four-game skid with an overtime win. That’s usually when

Islanders vs Jets Picks and Predictions – Tuesday January 13, 2026 Winnipeg finally looks like it can breathe again. After an 11-game skid that buried them near the bottom of the league, the Jets have won two straight and now get a home date with the Islanders with a chance to stack wins for the first time in months. The

Oilers vs Predators Picks and Predictions – Tuesday January 13, 2026 Edmonton hits Nashville on Tuesday night at Bridgestone Arena, and it’s a tricky spot for a team playing its second game in two nights after winning in Chicago. The Oilers have steadied their form lately, and Connor McDavid is driving everything again with a point streak that’s basically become

Carolina handled the Red Wings 5-2 on Dec. 27 with a big shot-volume edge, but Detroit arrives playing its best hockey of the season and riding a three-game win streak after a 4-0

Kraken vs Rangers Picks and Predictions – Monday January 12, 2026 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

Lightning vs Flyers Picks and Predictions – Monday January 12, 2026 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

Canucks vs Canadiens Picks and Predictions – Monday January 12, 2026 Vancouver hits the Bell Centre on Monday night coming off another rough showing, and the gap between these teams right now is more than just the standings.
