Edmonton Oilers vs Ottawa Senators Prediction NHL Picks 11/19/24

Oilers at Senators at 7 PM ET

The Edmonton Oilers suffered defeats against both the Maple Leafs and the Canadiens. Currently, the team averages 2.63 goals per game and converts 16.3 percent of their power play chances into goals. Leon Draisaitl is the team’s leading scorer with 13 goals, while Connor McDavid contributes significantly with 14 assists. Jeff Skinner has recorded 53 shots on goal. In terms of goaltending, Stuart Skinner has conceded 38 goals from 308 shots faced, and Calvin Packard has allowed 18 goals from 169 shots.

The Ottawa Senators experienced losses to the Flyers and the Hurricanes. They are currently averaging 3.24 goals per game and achieving a power play success rate of 27.6 percent. Brady Tkachuk leads the team with 9 goals, Tim Stutzle has provided 14 assists, and Thomas Chabot has taken 45 shots on goal. On the goaltending front, Linus Ullmark has given up 25 goals on 228 shots, while Anton Forsberg has allowed 20 goals from 206 shots faced.

The Pick:

The Edmonton Oilers are expected to be the favored team, given their stronger overall performance and their success in 7 out of the last 10 matchups against the Senators. However, it is noteworthy that the Oilers experienced a shutout loss to Montreal last night, where they were -270 favorites. The Ottawa Senators have a commendable home record of 5-2-1 this season and benefit from having more rest. Consequently, I am inclined to place a bet on the Senators, especially considering the advantageous odds, as the Oilers are facing the challenge of a back-to-back game.

Tampa Bay Lightning vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction NHL Picks 11/19/24

Lightning at Penguins at 7 PM ET

The Tampa Bay Lightning approach this contest with the intention of capitalizing on their recent success, having secured back-to-back victories, including a commanding 4-0 win over New Jersey in their last outing. Leading the team is Nikita Kucherov, who has amassed 26 points, featuring a team-high of 11 goals and 15 assists. Brandon Hagel follows closely with 17 points, consisting of 8 goals and 9 assists, while Anthony Cirelli contributes 16 points, highlighted by 12 assists. Brayden Point has achieved 13 points, with 8 goals and 5 assists, and both Victor Hedman and Anthony Cirelli have recorded 16 points, each with 12 assists. In terms of goaltending, Andrei Vasilevskiy has an 8-5-1 record, a 2.15 GAA, and a .920 save percentage, while Jonas Johansson has a 1-1 record with a 4.51 GAA and a .866 save percentage this season.

The Pittsburgh Penguins enter this matchup aiming to capitalize on their recent 4-3 victory in a shootout against the San Jose Sharks. Evgeni Malkin leads the team with 19 points, comprising 5 goals and a team-high 14 assists. Sidney Crosby also has 19 points, featuring a team-best 7 goals alongside 12 assists. Rickard Rakell contributes with 11 points, including 6 goals and 5 assists, while Erik Karlsson matches this total with 11 points, consisting of 2 goals and 9 assists. In net for the Penguins, Joel Blomqvist holds a record of 3-5, with a (GAA) of 3.60 and a save percentage of .904. Tristan Jarry has a record of 1-2, with a GAA of 5.36 and a save percentage of .847 this season. Additionally, Alex Nedeljkovic has a record of 3-3-3, with a GAA of 3.17 and a save percentage of .886.

The Pick:

It is clear that the Lightning have not always been effective in their road games this season. Nevertheless, the Penguins have consistently been one of the more frustrating teams to watch, as they seem to be uncertain about their strategy and direction. Their goaltending has also been unreliable, which diminishes my confidence in their defensive capabilities. In contrast, I find Tampa Bay’s defense to be much more trustworthy. Therefore, I will choose to back the Lightning in this clash.

Minnesota Wild vs St. Louis Blues Prediction NHL Picks 11/19/24

Wild at Blues at 8 PM ET

In their latest encounter, the Wild faced the Dallas Stars but fell short in their performance. The team’s offense was limited to a single goal, and despite the defense allowing only two goals, the lack of offensive output proved detrimental. Kirill Kaprizov continued his strong performance by scoring yet another goal for the Wild. Goalie Filip Gustavsson had an impressive outing, saving 38 of the 40 shots he faced. The Wild currently average 3.53 goals per game, while their defense concedes 2.35 goals. The offensive unit ranks 11th in the league, while the defense is notably ranked 2nd. On average, the defense allows 28.5 shots per game, placing them 14th in the league standings.

The Blues faced the Carolina Hurricanes in their most recent game, which ended in yet another lackluster result. The team scored just one goal, while their defense surrendered four. Jake Neighbours was responsible for the only goal scored by St. Louis. Goalie Joel Hofer’s performance was subpar, saving 20 out of 24 shots he encountered. The Blues’ current average stands at 2.47 goals per game, while their defense concedes an average of 3.42 goals per game. Both the offensive and defensive units are ranked 26th in the league.

The Pick:

With an average of only 2.35 goals allowed per game, the Wild are poised to assert their dominance in this contest. Meanwhile, the Blues’ offensive output stands at just 2.47 goals per game, suggesting they will face considerable difficulties in this matchup. The Wild are likely to score a minimum of three goals, which should be adequate for a win on the puck line. It is recommended to back the Wild on the puck line.

Florida Panthers vs Winnipeg Jets Prediction NHL Picks 11/19/24

Panthers at Jets at 8 PM ET

The Florida Panthers triumphed over the Jets but faced a setback against the Devils. The team is currently averaging 3.61 goals per game and achieving a power play success rate of 21.8 percent. Sam Reinhart is at the forefront with 13 goals, Aleksander Barkov has tallied 14 assists, and Carter Verhaeghe has amassed 66 shots on goal. In goal, Sergei Bobrovsky has allowed 37 goals on 359 shots, while Spencer Knight has surrendered 15 goals on 146 shots faced.

The Winnipeg Jets experienced losses to the Lightning and the Panthers. They are currently averaging 4.11 goals per game and achieving a power play success rate of 36.5 percent. Kyle Connor stands out as the top scorer for Winnipeg with 11 goals, while Josh Morrissey has tallied 15 assists, and Nikolaj Ehlers has amassed 49 shots on goal. On the goaltending front, Connor Hellebuyck has surrendered 30 goals on 408 shots, and Eric Comrie has given up 11 goals on 121 shots faced.

The Pick:

The Panthers remain the superior team when at full capacity, and it is uncommon to find them offered at such low odds. Additionally, the visiting team has triumphed in 7 of the last 10 encounters between the Panthers and the Jets. Regardless of the location, there is considerable value in backing the home team at even odds or with a positive return. I will support the Panthers in this away matchup.

Anaheim Ducks vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction NHL Picks 11/19/24

Ducks at Blackhawks at 8:30 PM ET

The Anaheim Ducks currently hold a record of 7-8-2 following their recent victory over Dallas, where they triumphed with a score of 4-2. The Ducks established an early lead by scoring the first three goals of the match, yet they faced a challenging third period to secure the win. In terms of statistics, Anaheim was outshot 36 to 27, managed to win 33.8% of face-offs, and successfully converted 1 out of 2 power play opportunities. The goals for Anaheim were contributed by Gauthier, Leason, LaCombe, and Zellweger, while Dostal made an impressive 34 saves out of 36 shots faced.

This season, the Chicago Blackhawks have a record of 6-11-1 after suffering a 4-1 loss to Vancouver in their most recent game. The Blackhawks started strong, leading 1-0 at the end of the first period, but they subsequently allowed four unanswered goals, leading to their defeat. In the game, Chicago was outshot by Vancouver, with a total of 33 shots against 29. They won 37.3% of face-offs and failed to capitalize on their only power play opportunity. Mikheyev was the sole scorer for the Blackhawks, while Soderblom recorded 29 saves from 31 shots.

The Pick:

In their last four games, Anaheim has emerged victorious in three, including a notable win against Dallas on Monday, leading to a back-to-back scenario. While neither team has excelled in goal-scoring at the start of the season, Anaheim’s current form is impressive, and I am inclined to take a chance on them with the advantageous odds.

New York Islanders vs Calgary Flames Prediction NHL Picks 11/19/24

Islanders at Flames at 9 PM ET

The Islanders faced the Seattle Kraken on Saturday in a game that was not particularly impressive. They scored two goals, yet their defense allowed three, leading to their defeat. Goals were scored by Brock Nelson and Pierre Engvall, but the defensive efforts were insufficient. Ilya Sorokin was in goal, but his performance did not meet the required standard, as he managed to save 24 out of 27 shots. The Islanders are currently averaging 2.61 goals per game, while their defense concedes 3.06 goals. Offensively, they rank 25th in the league, while defensively, they are positioned 13th.

On Friday, the Flames faced off against the Nashville Predators in their latest game, achieving a 2-0 victory. The match was scoreless until the Flames scored two goals, securing their win. Blake Coleman and Daniil Mirmanov were the goal scorers for the team. Dustin Wolf was in goal, successfully saving all 29 shots he encountered. Throughout the season, the Flames have averaged 2.67 goals per game, while their defense has conceded an average of 2.78 goals per game. The team’s offense is currently ranked 23rd, in contrast to their defense, which is ranked 8th.

The Pick:

Presently, the Islanders’ offensive unit is producing an average of only 2.61 goals per game, which may hinder their ability to find rhythm in this contest. The Flames, with an average of 2.67 goals per game, are also anticipated to encounter similar struggles in their offensive efforts. As a result, this matchup is projected to be low-scoring, with the Under likely prevailing.

New York Rangers vs Vancouver Canucks Prediction NHL Picks 11/19/24

Rangers at Canucks at 10 PM ET

This season, the New York Rangers have achieved an impressive record of 11-4-1 after their latest triumph against Seattle, where they won 2-0. The team managed to score once in both the second and third periods, resulting in a shutout victory. Although they were outshot 24-23, the Rangers excelled in face-offs, winning 55.1% of them, and successfully completed one penalty kill. Lafreniere and Jones were the goal scorers, and Quick was outstanding in goal, stopping all 24 shots he faced.

The Vancouver Canucks’ current season record stands at 9-5-3, following their recent 5-3 loss to Nashville. The Canucks were ahead 2-1 in the second period but subsequently allowed four goals in the next five attempts, resulting in their defeat. In the game, Vancouver outshot Nashville 27 to 22, secured 52.9% of face-offs, and successfully executed 1 out of 2 power play opportunities. Goals were scored by Pettersson, Raty, and Sherwood, while Lankinen made 17 saves from 21 shots faced.

The Pick:

The New York team arrives at this contest with a two-game winning streak and continues to excel defensively, allowing an average of merely 2.38 goals per game this year. The Rangers have achieved a commendable 6-1-0 record on the road, in contrast to the Canucks’ 3-4-3 performance at home. Vancouver’s recent form has seen them alternate between wins and losses over their last six games, which highlights their inconsistency. Therefore, it would be wise to back New York in this away matchup.
