Tuesday, November 21st
The National Hockey League has rearranged their typical schedule with Thanksgiving on Thursday (and zero games scheduled), resulting in a quiet Tuesday night (three-game slate), before exploding tomorrow night (15-games). The Philadelphia Flyers, Dallas Stars and St. Louis Blues are your favorites and none of the six teams in action are playing on consecutive nights.

Michal Neuvirth, Philadelphia Flyers – The Philadelphia Flyers are the biggest favorite on the board tonight and that makes Michal Neuvirth the top dog in goal tonight. Neuvirth has been solid between the pipes for the Flyers this season, posting a 2.17 goals against average and a .928 save percentage, and those numbers are even better when playing on home ice (1.96 GAA, .935 SV%), albeit a small sample size. The Vancouver Canucks have certainly been a better team in 2017-18, but they are merely average overall at best, and their offense still lacks scoring punch. The Canucks rank 28th in CF/60 and 26th in SCF/60, which has resulted in them scoring just 2.55 goals per game, good for 26th overall in the National Hockey League. Look for a win and 25-plus saves from Neuvirth tonight.
