Expert NHL Picks for November 13th, 2025

Dallas Stars (+104) vs Montreal Canadiens (-112)

Time: 7:00 PM ET

Dallas comes into this matchup with strong momentum, having performed well on the road this season and holding a 7-3 advantage in the last 10 meetings against Montreal.

The Stars have won each of their last six road games against the Canadiens, while Montreal has struggled defensively lately, losing three of their last four games and allowing 16 goals in that span.

Although the Canadiens benefit from home ice at the Bell Centre, their recent form and defensive lapses make Dallas the more reliable side tonight.

Pick: Dallas Stars ML (+104)

Boston Bruins (+143) vs Ottawa Senators (-155)

Time: 7:00 PM ET

Ottawa enters this matchup as a home favorite, having won four of the last six meetings against Boston. The Senators have been solid at home with a 5-2-2 record, but Boston is coming off a recent win and has shown they can compete in Ottawa, including a 3-2 overtime victory just last week.

Both teams have similar offensive and defensive numbers, and Boston’s overall record is slightly stronger.

While Ottawa’s young core and home ice provide an edge, this matchup is closer than the odds suggest, and recent history shows both teams are capable of winning tight games.

Pick: Ottawa Senators ML (-155)

Edmonton Oilers (-110) vs Columbus Blue Jackets (-107)

Time: 7:30 PM ET

Edmonton has struggled to find consistency on the road this season, posting a 2-5-2 record away from home. While the Oilers have offensive firepower, their results outside Edmonton have been mixed.

Columbus has played .500 hockey at home and will look to take advantage of Edmonton’s travel difficulties. However, the Blue Jackets’ goaltending and penalty kill have been inconsistent, which could leave them vulnerable to Edmonton’s top-ranked power play.

This matchup is closely lined for a reason, but with Edmonton’s road struggles, Columbus has a reasonable chance to come out on top.

Pick: Columbus Blue Jackets ML (-107)
