Two of the NHL's best head to Finland to duke it out, but only one team can head home with a win. That team will be the Panthers.
Golden Knights vs Kings Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NHL Game
Jack Eichel has been excellent this year, but he's finding success more as a playmaker than a goal-scorer and his shots totals have dipped as a result. Facing a defensive powerhouse like the Kings, he won't register 4+ SOG.
Canucks vs Hurricanes Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight’s NHL Game
Vancouver's offense has been red hot of late and gets a favorable matchup against Carolina's backup goalie tonight. Expect the train to keep rolling at home.
