Premier Sports, 3am Thursday night

A youthful Arizona Coyotes face a tough opening trip to Pacific division champions Anaheim.

The Ducks are hampered by a number of high-profile injuries but they should still be able to claim the two points inside 60 minutes against a team who haven't made the playoffs since 2012.

Recommendation
Anaheim in three-way market
1pt 11-10 Sky Bet

Washington at Ottawa
Premier Sports, 12.30am Thursday night

There were plenty of goals on NHL opening night and that trend can continue as Washington visit Ottawa.

The Capitals roster has undergone something of an overhaul for this season and their defence look rather shaky.

Ottawa, meanwhile are without brilliant captain Erik Karlsson and shipped 22 goals over their last three preseason games.

Recommendation
Over 5.5 goals
1pt 23-20 Betfred
