NHL Picks Tonight: Best NHL Picks for Wednesday December 21, 2022

There are seven NHL games on the schedule tonight. I've got the best bets for every single one of them.

The Devils have lost six in a row and are in trouble. They lost 4-1 in Carolina last night. The Devils are on the road again this week and they play the Panthers in Sunrise. Panthers beat the Devils 4,2 in New Jersey on 12/17.

The Lightning lost 4-1 in Toronto. The last time they lost was 4 -2 to the Red Wings. They are 7-3 in their last 10 games. The Wings haven't won in six games and are going to play a back-to-back.

Nathan MacKinnon is injured. The Avs have won four of their last five games without him. Montreal is the heavy favorite in the game. The Canadiens have only won two of last 5 games, both of them in overtime.

The Blackhawks are 1-9 in their last 10 games and have just three wins in last 20 games. They host the Predators tonight. The Preds have won just once in the last seven games, beating the Oilers in overtime on Monday.

Connor McDavid is the subject of prayers from me. He leads the league in goals, assists and points. Leon Draisaitl is second in the NHL in points, but the rest of the team needs more consistency. The Oilers are 17-14-2 overall and 4-4-1 in their last 10 games. They go to Dallas tonight. Dallas is 6-3-0 in its last ten games, including 6 wins in a row.

Stars are playing the Golden Knights. The Coyotes are a team that plays most of their games on the road. They have lost two games in a row. Golden Knight won the last game in Vegas 4-1. The Knights are the top team in the Western Conference.

The Wild are 8-2 in their last 10 games and are on a five-game win streak. They play the Ducks in Anaheim tonight. The last time the teams met in Minnesota, the Wild won 5-4 in a shootout.
