Philadelphia has 27 goals in 14 games and lost in overtime at home on Tuesday night. Joseph Woll is confirmed for the Flyers, and Logan Thompson is expected for Washington. Full write-up: Flyers vs Capitals picks.
Flames at Oilers, 8:30 PM ET, Prime
Calgary has won four straight, but Edmonton is the better team at home. Full write-up: Flames vs Oilers picks.
Devils at Avalanche, 9:00 PM ET
New Jersey won 5-1 in Dallas on Tuesday night, so this is the second half of a back-to-back, and Connor Hellebuyck started there. Jake Allen (88.6%) is confirmed. Colorado is 6-5-1 but plus 9 on the season, and Mackenzie Blackwood (89.3%) is confirmed in goal. Avs.
Maple Leafs at Kraken, 10:00 PM ET
Toronto went with Sergei Bobrovsky (89.6%) instead of Anthony Stolarz (90.7%), and that tips this one to Seattle at home. Philipp Grubauer is likely in goal for the Kraken but not confirmed yet. The worry: Seattle is 7-4-1 but has been outshot 382-314. Kraken.
Lines as posted Wednesday. Six of the eight goalies are confirmed so far, so check the rest before puck drop.
