Today's NHL Picks (17/03/22)

Below you can find picks for today's NHL action from The Stats Zone's top ice hockey tipsters. All times given are based on US start times.

Thursday, March 17

New York Islanders @ New York Rangers – 7:00pm ET

Carolina Hurricanes @ Toronto Maple Leafs – 7:00pm ET

Dallas Stars @ Montreal Canadiens – 7:00pm ET

Nashville Predators @ Philadelphia Flyers – 7:00pm ET

Washington Capitals @ Columbus Blue Jackets – 7:00pm ET

Pittsburgh Penguins @ St. Louis Blues – 8:00pm ET

Buffalo Sabres @ Edmonton Oilers – 9:00pm ET

Detroit Red Wings @ Vancouver Canucks – 10:00pm ET

San Jose Sharks @ Los Angeles Kings – 10:00pm ET

Florida Panthers @ Vegas Golden Knights – 10:30pm ET

Washington Capitals @ Columbus Blue Jackets – 7:00pm ET

Six of the last eight games for Columbus Blue Jackets have produced at least six goals and another high-scoring contest could be on the cards here. Washington Capitals have seen their last five games all yield at least seven goals and with both teams among the goals of late, this matchup should see at least six goals scored.

Prediction: Over 5.5 total goals

Florida Panthers @ Vegas Golden Knights – 10:30pm ET

Vegas Golden Knights’ poor run of form continued as they suffered a fifth successive loss. Winnipeg Jets were the latest team to get the better of them and in-form Florida Panthers will fancy their chances of compounding their woes here. The Panthers have won six of their last seven and have to be favoured to prevail in this one.

Prediction: Florida Panthers to win
