New Jersey (12-12-3 at Home) plays host to struggling Vegas (12-11-3 on Road) in an interconference ice duel from the Prudential Center in Newark. Looking at the last 10 series meetings we see that the Golden Knights are 6-4 with the Home team 4-0-0 in the last 4 and the Totals split at 5-5-0. With VGK on a 4-game Losing Streak and 2-5-3 in its last 10 and having trouble scoring goals, this Golden Knights vs Devils pick will back New Jersey. Both were off on Wednesday.

In the last 10 series meetings, the Capitals are 7-3, winning the last 2 skates in Philly and the last 4 overall (17 GF-7 GA) with the Totals split at 5-5-0. This Capitals vs Flyers pick will ride the strong series Trend and fade the Flyers who are on a 4-game Losing Streak. Prediction: Capitals -135

| Blue Jackets Line: | +100 |

| Total: | 5.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+ |
The Utah Hockey Club (13-10-6 on Road) head to the Ohio capital to face Columbus (17-5-3 at Home) in an interconference game. With the Utah Hockey Club theoretically new this season, these two teams don’t have a great body of work to handicap, but they did just play on Friday (January 31) and the Blue Jackets prevailed in OT (3-2). With Columbus so good at Home and feeling good about being in the Playoffs hunt, this Utah Hockey Clubs vs Blue Jackets pick will back Zach Werenski (57 points) and the Homeboys. Prediction: Blue Jackets +100
Hurricanes vs Wild Prediction
| Game Time: | 7:30 EST/4:30 PST |
| Wild Line: | +110 |
| Hurricanes Line: | -130 |
| Total: | 5.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+, Hulu, Disney+ |
Minnesota (11-12-1 at Home) has been disappointing at Home but incredible on the Road and on Thursday, the Wild welcome Carolina (16-10-1 on Road) to Saint Paul for this interconference date. In the last 10 series meetings, the two teams have each won 5 times, alternating Wins and Losses over the last 5 (MCMCM) with the Over/Under also 5-5-0 alternating 2 Unders and 2 Overs the last 6 (UUOOUU). The last 3 in the Land of 10,000 Frozen Lakes have all gone Under (5, 3, 5) and with 2 good Goalies in Canes Rookie Pyotr Kochetkov (19-10-3, 2.47 GAA)—Frederick Andersen is on IR—and Filip Gustavsson (20-11-3, 2.66 GAA), this Hurricanes vs Wild pick will look for an Under in a close one. Minnesota has been shut out in their last 2 games (OTT 6-0, BOS 3-0), both on the Road after Minnesota shut out Montréal (4-0) a week ago in Quebec. Prediction: Under 5.5
Panthers vs Blues Prediction
| Game Time: | 8:00 EST/5:00 PST |
| Blues Line: | +130 |
| Panthers Line: | -155 |
| Total: | 5.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+ |
St. Louis (11-13-2 at Home) welcomes Florida (16-11-1 on Road) to the Gateway to the West for this interconference skate. Looking at the last 10 series meetings we see that the Blues are 6-4 although the defending Stanley Cup champion Black Cats have won the last 2 meetings (7 GF-2 GA) after the Blues won the previous 4. The Totals are split 5-5-0, with the Under clicking the last 3 times (5, 6, 3). This Panthers vs Blues pick will look for another low-scoring game here. Prediction: Under 5.5
Avalanche vs Flames Prediction
| Game Time: | 9:00 EST/6:00 PST |
| Flames Line: | +130 |
| Avalanche Line: | -155 |
| Total: | 6.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+ |
Calgary (16-9-3 at Home) hosts Colorado (15-12-0 on Road) in this Western Conference matchup from the Scotiabank Saddledome. In the last 10 series meetings, the Avalanche are 7-3, winning the last 5 in a row (23 GF-10 GA) and the last 2 at Alberta. With Colorado coming off a 3-0 shutout Loss at Vancouver on Tuesday, expect a better performance from Nathan MacKinnon to make it 6 straight vs the Flames (-14 GD). This Avalanche vs Flames pick will gamble on the visitors who need to hold on to 4th place in their Central Division. Prediction: Avalanche -155
Maple Leafs vs Kraken Prediction
| Game Time: | 10:00 EST/7:00 PST |
| Kraken Line: | +130 |
| Maple Leafs Line: | -155 |
| Total: | 6.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+. Hulu, Disney+ |
Seattle (12-11-3 at Homes) opens the doors of Climate Pledge Arena to play Toronto (13-8-2 on Road) in this interconference meeting from the Emerald City. In the 7 lifetime meetings between these 2 clubs, Auston Matthews and the Maple Leafs have gone 6-1, winning the last 4 straight (16 GF-6 GA) and all 3 meetings in Seattle (14 GF-4 GA), all by at least 2 Goals (4, 4, 2). The Under has cashed the last 2 meetings (4, 5). This Maple Leafs vs Kraken pick will back Toronto (Won 2). Prediction: Maple Leafs -155
Canucks vs Sharks Prediction
| Game Time: | 10:30 EST/7:30 PST |
| Sharks Line: | +180 |
| Canucks Line: | -218 |
| Total: | 6.5 |
| TV: | ESPN+ |
San José (9-17-1 at Home) hosts Vancouver (14-8-4 on Road) in this Pacific Division showdown from the SAP Center. In the last 10 meetings, the Canucks are a profitable 9-1, winning the last 3 (14 GF-9 GA) with the Over a powerful 8-2-0 over that span. With Vancouver decent on the Road and fighting for a Postseason spot and San José the worst team in the NHL (15-34-6, -62 GD), these Canucks vs Sharks picks will side with the Trends and the visitors. The Canucks could possibly go Over by themselves. Prediction: Canucks -218, Over 6.5
