NHL 10/10 Breakdown

Today’s article is going to just be more direct bullet points on what I expect from each game.

Montreal vs. Boston:

Both teams should have opposite outcomes from their opening game.
Boston was embarrassed by the Panthers on Tuesday and Montreal has been a great matchup for them. If Boston is a serious team this year they will need to win this game and not fall behind.

Los Angeles vs. Buffalo:

Don’t be surprised if Buffalo starts 0-3.
The Kings are a down team this year.
Both matchups last year put up goals and both overs hit. Buffalo did not look well at all in Prague to feel confident in their offense. Los Angeles could have a slow game as well.
Not a game I will be on

Toronto vs. New Jersey:

I expect the same flipped narrative in this matchup too.
Travel should affect the Devils here going to and from Prauge.
Toronto is coming off a shutout loss to the Canadians last night. That game had enough opportunities to score 10 goals. Neither team cashed in. I think both teams looked good, it wasn’t sloppy. The finishes just weren’t there.
That being said, Toronto should carry good play into tonight. They should definitely clean up the penalties and we should see goals from them tonight.
Sheldon Keefe faces his former team.

Florida vs. Ottawa:

Florida won all four meetings last year and 14 of 17.
Florida looked incredible against Boston and it will difficult to replicate. I plan to see how their first few games to see what effect the offseason and fre agency had on them.

Utah vs. New York Islanders:

Utah was set up with a nice opening night opponent to boost the likelihood of a win.
The Islanders will be a very different test for them tonight and it should go the Islanders way.
The Utah Hockey Club are the Arizona Coyotes + free agency

Pittsburgh vs. Detroit:
