NHL Picks & Props – October 9th, 2025

By
Patrick Gates
-

Tonight’s NHL slate is packed, with fourteen games scheduled across the league.

Whether you’re a seasoned bettor or new to NHL wagering, today’s matchups offer plenty of opportunities, from moneylines and puck lines to player props. With teams looking to establish their early-season identities, there’s a lot to consider. Let’s break down the top games and highlight the best bets for tonight’s action!

Chicago Blackhawks @ Boston Bruins

Chicago Blackhawks (+136) – DraftKings

The Blackhawks played a competitive game against the defending Stanley Cup champions on Tuesday, falling 3-2 in a close matchup. The Bruins are coming off an upset win over the Capitals last night, winning 3-1. However, Washington actually led in expected goals 4.33 to 3.06, with Boston relying heavily on Jeremy Swayman’s stellar performance in goal, posting a +3.33 Goals Saved Above Expected (GSAx). If Joonas Korpisalo gets the start tonight for Boston after recording a -1.7 GSAx last season, Chicago has a good chance to steal one on the road against a team playing on back-to-back nights. Arvid Soderblom is confirmed in net for the Blackhawks and posted a +1.0 GSAx over 36 games last season.

Philadelphia Flyers @ Florida Panthers

Matvei Michkov 1+ Points (-113) – FanDuel

Matvei Michkov enters his second NHL season after an impressive rookie year, recording 63 points (26 goals, 37 assists) in 80 games. His offensive style sometimes clashed with former head coach John Tortorella, who was let go late in the season. After the coaching change, Michkov thrived, posting 12 points in just 9 games.

This season, Michkov is expected to skate on Philadelphia’s top line alongside Christian Dvorak and Sean Couturier. Newly acquired Trevor Zegras adds a significant offensive boost to a Flyers team that ranked 24th in goals per game and 30th on the power play last season. Zegras’ presence should create more scoring opportunities for Michkov, especially on the man advantage.

New York Rangers @ Buffalo Sabres

Josh Norris 1+ Point (-115) – DraftKings

Josh Norris, acquired from the Ottawa Senators at last season’s trade deadline, saw limited action with the Sabres due to injury, posting just one point in three games. Now fully healthy, Norris looked outstanding in the preseason, tallying seven points (three goals, four assists) across four games. He’s expected to center Buffalo’s top line alongside Tage Thompson and Zach Benson. Benson took a puck to the face in practice yesterday but is expected to suit up tonight. Norris will also skate on the first power-play unit, giving him multiple paths to get on the scoresheet against the Rangers.

Josh Norris 1+ Point & Tage Thompson 1+ Point (+160) – DraftKings

If you’re looking for a more aggressive play, consider pairing Norris with Tage Thompson for a (+160) parlay. Both skate on the Sabres top line and first power-play unit, giving them plenty of shared opportunities to produce. During the preseason, Thompson factored in on six of Norris’ seven points.

New York Islanders @ Pittsburgh Penguins

Under 6.0 (-110) – BetMGM

The Islanders open their season on the road against the Penguins, who are coming off a 3-0 win over the Rangers on Tuesday. Ilya Sorokin will start in goal for New York after finishing 10th in Goals Saved Above Expected (GSAx) last season. Tristan Jarry is expected to start for Pittsburgh and will look to bounce back from a disappointing year. In three preseason appearances, Jarry went 1-0-0 with a 2.95 goals-against average and an .889 save percentage.

With Sorokin between the pipes and both offenses still finding their rhythm early in the season, this matchup sets up well for a low-scoring game.

New Jersey Devils @ Carolina Hurricanes

Nikolaj Ehlers 1+ Point (-145) – DraftKings

Newly acquired Nikolaj Ehlers signed a six-year, $51 million contract with the Carolina Hurricanes over the offseason. He is set to skate on Carolina’s top line alongside Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis and will also be on the Hurricanes’ top power-play unit. Last season, Ehlers recorded 63 points in 69 games with the Winnipeg Jets. He also has a strong history against the New Jersey Devils, recording a point in each of his last four matchups for a total of seven points during that span.

Minnesota Wild @ St. Louis Blues

Jimmy Snuggerud 1+ Point (+112) – FanDuel

Last season, University of Minnesota product Jimmy Snuggerud appeared in seven games for the St. Louis Blues, recording four points (one goal, three assists). In his final college season, he was a top-10 finalist for the 2025 Hobey Baker Award. Snuggerud is set to skate on St. Louis’ top line alongside Pavel Buchnevich and Robert Thomas and will also play on the Blues’ top power-play unit.

He should see plenty of ice time tonight and has already shown he can handle the transition from college to the pros, as reflected in his stats from last season. At +112, this is a strong price for a player on the first line and top power-play unit. For comparison, his linemates Buchnevich and Thomas, who also play on the top power-play unit, are listed at -150 and -230, respectively, for 1+ point tonight.

Dallas Stars @ Winnipeg Jets

Gabriel Vilardi 1+ Point (-135) – DraftKings

Gabriel Vilardi is set to skate on Winnipeg’s top line alongside Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele and will also play on the Jets’ top power-play unit. He had a career year last season, recording 61 points in 71 games despite battling some injury issues. With first-line and top power-play minutes, Vilardi should have plenty of opportunities to get on the scoresheet tonight.

At -135, this is a strong price for a player in his role. For comparison, his linemates Connor and Scheifele, who also play on the top power-play unit, are listed at -280 and -230, respectively, for 1+ point tonight.

Late Add: Roope Hintz 1+ Point (-120) – DraftKings

Vegas Golden Knights @ San Jose Sharks

Pick: Vegas Golden Knights (-130) – DraftKings

The Vegas Golden Knights blew a 5-3 third-period lead with eight minutes remaining last night and ultimately lost to the Los Angeles Kings in a shootout. With high expectations this season, Vegas is poised to bounce back tonight and respond after a disappointing loss. They take on the San Jose Sharks, an inferior opponent, in what should be a statement game for the team.

Longshot Parlay:

We cashed a Longshot Parlay (+1988) last night, so let’s see if we can do it again. Here’s my Longshot Parlay (+3488) for tonight.

Course/ Tournament History:

Yokohama Country Club, located in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, was founded in 1960 and features two 18-hole courses, the East and West, both designed by Takeo Aiyama over six years. The West Course has hosted several prestigious tournaments, including the 1978 Japan Open, one of Seve Ballesteros’s early professional victories, and the 2018 Japan Open. Between 2014 and 2016, the West Course underwent renovations by the renowned design firm Coore & Crenshaw, improving its layout and playability.

The Baycurrent Classic, originally known as the Zozo Championship, is a professional golf tournament co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour and the Japan Golf Tour. Established in 2019, it marked the first PGA Tour event held in Japan, with the inaugural tournament at Narashino Country Club where Tiger Woods claimed his 82nd PGA Tour victory, tying Sam Snead’s all-time record. In 2020, the event was temporarily moved to Sherwood Country Club in California due to COVID-19 travel restrictions and was solely sanctioned by the PGA Tour. The tournament returned to Japan in 2021, resuming its co-sanctioned status. In December 2024, Tokyo-based consulting firm Baycurrent Inc. became the title sponsor, leading to the tournament’s renaming and relocation to Yokohama Country Club in Kanagawa Prefecture.
