We open with NHL predictions, featuring the Vegas Golden Knights versus the Philadelphia Flyers. This game could see former Flyers netminder Carter Hart get the start in goal. However, always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Vegas is coming into this game with a 5-2-3 record in its last 10 games. However, the Golden Knights have taken four of their previous five games. Jack Eichel leads the way in assists (26) and points (38) so far this campaign.
Daniel Vladar is the projected start for the Flyers, who are 7-3 in the last 10 games. Philadelphia seems to be adjusting to life under new head coach Rick Tocchet. The Flyers have been stingy on the defensive end, with the fifth-least shots allowed and 10th in goals allowed so far this season. Trevor Zegras is first in goals (19), assists (17), and points (27) on the Flyers this campaign.
The Flyers have been playing better, but the Golden Knights will get the win.
Prediction: Golden Knights win 4-2.
