November 17 NHL Game Predictions and Betting Odds

Find the best odds for tonight’s hockey matches with our selection of November 17 NHL game predictions and betting picks.

It’s hockey night in North America, which means that it’s time to look up the best NHL hockey betting lines and bet on sports in US ! GamingZion has some of the best odds on the market for you right now in our November 17 NHL game predictions, courtesy of Bet Online Sportsbook, so read below to see which teams you should be putting your money on tonight.

New Jersey Devils vs. Calgary Flames

Against pre-season predictions that their team would do badly, the New Jersey Devils are now 10-6-1 and third place in the Western Conference. Tonight, they’re looking for a three-game streak after coming off of two consecutive victories against the Chicago Blackhawks and the Pittsburgh Penguins, and they’ve got their sights set on the Calgary Flames to make that happen.

The Flames, on the other hand, have been losing serious momentum after losing three out of four of their last games, making their November 17 NHL game predictions a little bleak. Even their star forward Johnny Gaudreau is doing poorly, as he is in the midst of a rare and shocking four-game pointless streak.

Even if the New Jersey Devils are arguably the better team right now, we’re going to give our NHL betting pick to the underdogs tonight. Calgary has a history of beating New Jersey—holding a 5-0 score in their last five encounters—and both they and Gaudreau are really due for a comeback after some of the lousy matches they’ve had recently. Plus, they always play better at home than on the road.

Los Angeles Kings vs. Philadelphia Flyers

The Philadelphia Flyers have been struggling lately, having lost an embarrassing eight games out of their last ten. A lot of the fault is placed on their offense, which is inconsistent and low in goals. Needless to say, they’re quickly falling to the bottom of NHL betting odds.

The Los Angeles Kings, on the other hand, have been doing great as expected, checking in at 19th in scoring (2.5 goals per game) and 3rd in goals allowed (2.1 goals per game). Some of this could be credited to their playing 12 of their first 17 games at home, but there’s no denying that they’re a talented and elite team who earn every one of their victories. We’re confident that they’ll continue to play just as well as they embark on a 20 game stretch, in which 15 of those games will be on the road.

Out of our three November 17 NHL game predictions, this one is a no brainer. It would be big US gambling news if the Flyers won tonight, but let’s be honest, that’s not going to happen. This is an easy win for the Kings, and a good and easy way to kick off their upcoming series of away games.

San Jose Sharks vs. Boston Bruins

The San Jose Sharks are in the middle of a six game road trip, and they’ve so far done swimmingly, having beat both the Detroit Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres. Unlike most teams in our NHL betting picks, the Sharks don’t play very well at home. They’re definitely at their best when they’re playing away games, which means this stretch will be good for them.

Like the Sharks, the Boston Bruins are coming off of a solid win, but their 3-1 defeat of the Detroit Red Wings was just their second win in their last six games. Despite their poor record, we have faith in the Bruins doing well tonight. They’ve got a great offense—including David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron—that’s currently 3rd in the league in scoring (3.6 goals per game) and could really shine tonight.

Of all of our November 17 NHL game predictions, this one is the toughest call. In the end, it’s the goalies that settle which team you should be putting your money on on online gambling sites in US tonight. The Shark’s Martin Jones is a consistently solid goalkeeper, whereas the Bruin’s Tuukka Rask has not been having a very good year, having to be constantly bailed out by the more talented offense. Throw in the fact that the Sharks are better players on the road, and the game is theirs.

Our bet: San Jose Sharks win 2.14 (57/50)
