Rangers vs Red Wings, 6:30, ET
- Rangers: Mika Zibanejad led the team in points and goals last season, but he only had two shots in the opener. With a game last night, will he have the energy to be the needed cog in the offense?
Capitals vs Hurricanes, 7:00 ET
- Hurricanes: Brandon Bussi is assumed to be the starter tonight. He had a fantastic opener for the team, but he did lose the game. It was an overtime loss so he still earned a point for his team, and only allowed one goal on roughly 65 minutes of ice time.
Bruins vs Jets, 8:00 ET
- Bruins: Fraser Minten is looking to make a name for himself. He put together a decent year last year, playing in all 82 games. In the season opener, he helped the Bruins with two points: a goal and an assist. Can he be consistent all season?
Blues vs Stars, 9:00 ET
- Stars: Jake Oettinger has consistently been one of the best goalies in the game. Tonight he takes on a Blues team that was decent last year, but not great. He went 3-1 against the Blues last year, allowing 11 goals.
Ducks vs Golden Knights, 10:00 ET
- Golden Knights: Jack Eichel has been a leader for this franchise since the start and continues to be great. He started the season strong with two assists and a goal in the opening game.
With these players and so many more to watch tonight, there is no lack of what to enjoy on the NHL slate. Caesars Sportsbook is helping you enjoy the games with a promo code of FOXNEWSDYW to earn 10 Double Your Winnings profit boost bonus bets.
