There are four games on the docket Wednesday. It will start with Washington hosting Edmonton at 7 p.m. ET, followed by one game at 7:30 (Calgary at Buffalo), 9:30 (Carolina at Minnesota) and 10 p.m. (Boston at Anaheim).
SLATE PREVIEW
The home team is favored to win each game, based on FanDuel's Moneyline, except for Carolina vs. Minnesota. The Wild (plus-136) are the underdogs against the visiting Hurricanes (minus-164). Carolina-Minnesota is also the only Wednesday tilt with a 5.5-goal over/under. The over/under for the other three games is 6.5 goals.
GOALIES
Pyotr Kochetkov, CAR at MIN ($7,900): Kochetkov will be going for his third straight win after stopping 43 of 47 shots (.915 save percentage) across his past two starts. He's 4-0-0 with a 1.70 GAA and a .926 save percentage in five appearances this year. Just make sure that Kochetkov starts over Frederik Andersen ($7,900) or Brandon Bussi ($7,900). At the time of writing, there's no guarantee Kochetkov will get the nod.
Logan Thompson, WAS vs. EDM ($7,700): Thompson is having a fantastic campaign with a 1.85 GAA and a .925 save percentage across 13 outings in 2025-26. Edmonton is a potentially dangerous adversary, but the Oilers have been a mixed bag this year, posting a 9-8-4 record while being in a four-way tie for 17th in goals per game with 3.00.
VALUE PLAYS
Beckett Sennecke, ANA vs. BOS ($5,000): Sennecke is having a solid rookie campaign with six goals and 13 points through 19 outings this season. He's been especially productive recently, collecting three goals and eight points across his past nine appearances.
Isak Rosen, BUF vs. CAL ($4,900): Since making his NHL season debut, Rosen has been a productive member of the Sabres, supplying three goals and six points in eight appearances in 2025-26. Rosen's in a prime opportunity to keep producing as a member of the second line and first power-play unit.
FORWARD LINE STACK
Ducks vs. Bruins
Leo Carlsson (C - $7,600), Chris Kreider (W - $6,800), Troy Terry (W - $6,700)
This trio hasn't been hot recently, but the options are limited today, and this line has been great overall. Carlsson has 11 goals and 26 points through 19 appearances this year, and Terry is close behind with 21 points (six goals) in 19 outings. Kreider had a four-game absence due to an illness from Oct. 21-28, but he's been fantastic since returning, collecting six goals and nine points in 10 games, so every forward on this line is worth grabbing.
DEFENSEMEN
Jakob Chychrun, WAS vs. EDM ($6,200): Chychrun will enter Wednesday's action amid a four-game scoring streak (one goal, four points). That gives him four goals and 14 points through 19 outings this year, which puts him on pace to surpass his previous career high of 47 points from the 2024-25 regular season.
Bowen Byram, BUF vs. CAL ($4,400): Byram has been a great discount defenseman recently, recording two goals and four points over his last four outings. He's been somewhat hot-and-cold, making him a good grab during his better stretches.
