Maple Leafs to beat Wild 

The Maple Leafs have sputtered a bit in the last week, and the road is not going to get easier with Jake Muzzin out of the lineup. The Wild have a few potential absences due to injury as well. The compressed schedule doesn’t allow for a lot of time for rest and recovery as both teams just had one day between games.

Toronto has the advantage of being at home, where they have gone 18-5-1 so far this season. The Leafs, however, have lost three straight games, have been leaky defensively and their goaltending hasn’t been able to bail them out. Minnesota is a team that has the firepower, even if the players listed as day-to-day – Mathew Dumba, Jordan Greenway and Mats Zuccarello – are unavailable.

The Wild, however, got humbled a bit by the Ottawa Senators in their last game, losing 4-3. That came on the heels of an impressive 7-3 win over the Edmonton Oilers. It’s been a rare week of inconsistency from the Wild, but they’re still a threat.

Still, I think the Maple Leafs might have a bit of a depth advantage in the game and having home ice where they’ve been so impressive throughout the season will help. Keep an eye on the Wild’s lineup, but otherwise I think Toronto will be able to defend home ice well.

Flames to beat Canucks 

Calgary has been an absolute machine of late. In the midst of a 10-game winning streak, Calgary has found many different ways to win, but they’ve also been scoring at will. Over this winning streak, they’ve scored four or more goals in seven of those games. They’ve also allowed more than two goals just once in that same stretch.

The Canucks will have the benefit of home ice, but it’s hard to see them stacking up against a team that has been the hottest in the NHL. The Flames’ winning streak isn’t going to last forever, but I don’t view the Canucks as the team that will halt it.

In the only prior meeting between the two teams, Calgary earned a 1-0 OT win. With the way both teams are playing, I doubt this one will be as low scoring of an affair.

That said, keep a close eye on Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk who have recorded 31 and 30 points, respectively, over their last 20 games. They’ve been on another level and have played well enough to be the difference in the game.

Rangers to beat Capitals 

In a big Metropolitan Division matchup, the Rangers are just ahead of the Caps in the standings, though have two games in hand. New York has only played in three games since the All-Star break and is coming off three days between games. They’ll also be playing at home where they’ve gone 16-4-3 and own the sixth-best points percentage in the NHL.

The Caps have won three of their last four games including each of their first two games on this current four-game road swing which included an impressive 4-1 win over Nashville. Washington has been the league’s best road team, winning 16 of its 25 contests as the away side.

These two clubs have not met since the first game of the season when Washington earned a 5-1 over New York. The Rangers, however, have been among the league’s best teams down the stretch. They have the sixth-best points percentage in the league. The biggest advantage they have over just about every opponent this year is goaltending.

Igor Shesterkin is on track to win the Vezina Trophy this year. He has a .939 save percentage, which is the best mark among all primary starters. He has gone 24-5-3. Any time he is in net, the Rangers have a great chance at taking two points from the game.

Predators to beat Stars 

This is a sneaky good game on the schedule. The Dallas Stars are trying to claw their way into the playoff picture, while the Predators are riding high after a hard-fought win over the Florida Panthers.

The Preds are on home ice and on a day of rest, while the Stars are coming off of a 3-2 OT win over the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday. Being on the back end of a back-to-back on the road is a tough one for the Stars who really need to find ways to bank points just about every game they play as they try to climb the standings.

Nashville had that big win over Florida, but that came on the heels of losses in five of their previous six games. Additionally, the Preds are prepping for their big outdoor game that they’re hosting on Saturday. There’s not much time to get distracted by that though as they’re still in the thick of a playoff chase themselves, currently in the first wild card position in the Western conference.

With Dallas just four points behind the Predators, this game could loom large in the overall playoff race. As much as I like the way the Stars have played, I think the Preds have the advantage being at home on an extra day of rest compared to a team on the second half of a back-to-back.
