Previous NHL Games recap:
The Sabres and Panthers are the ones who dominated the last games. With several games that went aggressive, theirs is the one that made the chill run down the spine of the fans. The Bruins have lost the matchup against the Hurricanes. And the Panthers have faced the Canucks and have scored 8 goals, sliding and cracking the defense and scoring countless goals. The Sabres have faced the Oilers and scored five goals, and that wasn’t the only highlight; it’s the power to have both the defense tight and the attack strong. And they leaked only 1 goal, that too due to a stupid blunder on the defensive side. The Capitals vs the Kings wasn’t that flashy; they had just had a great game, and the Capitals won the game and left quietly. Blue Jackets vs. Canadiens was the one that went down to the wire, 4-3.

Upcoming NHL Fixtures:
Capitals vs Oilers
The Washington Capitals and the Edmonton Oilers will clash in an NHL season match on November 19, 2025. This match will take place at the Capital One Arena.
Injury Updates
The Capitals have very few injuries this week. With Pierre-Luc. Who have been reportedly that he has been undergoing surgery on the abdominal and abductor muscles, and he will miss the upcoming 3-4 months for sure. Oilers, as we know, have a few injuries, and one has been undisclosed for a few days, and Ryan has been considered out for the upcoming game. This will not have a significant impact on either team’s gameplay, and the game may play out as it always has.
Predictions
Both teams have a reasonable number of injuries, and their form looks way more elevated for the Oilers than the Capitals. And most of the time, the Capitals do dominate the Oilers. But what if the Oilers actually make some progress in their attack? The Oilers already have a strong goaltender, and the right wings are way better than before. They can set the tempo of the game on their own. The Capitals have to go humble on this one, and the Oilers will secure this victory before the Capitals even try to.
Wild vs Hurricanes
The Minnesota Wild and the Carolina Hurricanes will clash in an NHL season match on November 19, 2025. This match will take place at the Xcel Energy Centre.
Injury Updates
The Wild have been reported with a few injuries, with Vladimir, Ryan, and Marco listed out for the upcoming game. And on the other hand, we have the Hurricanes, who have as few as three injuries, with Jesperi and Charles confirmed out for the upcoming game. And we also have Jalen, who suffered an upper-body injury in the recent match. All of this combined, this game will have some little impact on the gameplay on the Hurricanes’ side. But for the Wild, it’s much easier and they don’t even have to bother about it much.
Predictions
Hurricanes have to tighten their defense, or else things will go way more against them. And the Wild is already maintaining a clean table on the injury side. The Hurricanes’ recent games show that they are already lacking the power to score goals. And their defense is getting weaker day by day. Just expect a tight game and the score will be either one or two points in difference. In contrast, the Wild is surely getting way better than before. And this is more anticipated for the Wild to secure the victory.
Sabres vs Flames
The Buffalo Sabres and the Calgary Flames will clash in an NHL season match on November 19, 2025. This match will take place at the KeyBank Centre.
Injury Updates
The entire Sabres team is filled with injuries, and the list goes on and on. With Michael suffering an injury, Josh having upper-body injuries, Jason having an illness, and Zach having lower-body injuries. Jiri has been injured with ear problems. On the other hand, the Flames have a few injuries on the list, and Samuel and Zayne have been ruled out for the upcoming games. And Henry has been confirmed to be out of the forthcoming games, too. These are the injuries that have been confirmed yet in both teams.
Predictions
The Sabres are completely out of sync at the moment; they will need a significant amount of time to get back on track, and we have to accept that as the reality. Meanwhile, the Flames currently have the momentum and dominate in both tackling and maintaining possession. Although the Sabres are skilled in tackling, the Flames hold onto the puck as if it were their own, which greatly increases their chances of winning this game. Their control of the puck and relentless pursuit give the Flames a clear advantage in this matchup.
Ducks vs Bruins
The Anaheim Ducks and the Boston Bruins will clash in an NHL season match on November 19, 2025. This match will take place at the Honda Centre
Injury Updates
The Anaheim Ducks do have some key players out, but the injury list seems much shorter and better than before, with Mikael and Ryan out for the upcoming fixtures and expected to return after this month. On the other hand, we have the Bruins with a bit longer injury list than before, with Charlie out with an upper-body injury and Jordan with an ankle injury. Casey has a lower-body injury. Viktor is out for a lower-body injury. And all of this has been seen as a significant factor in the Bruins’ slow performance.
Predictions
The Bruins do have some setbacks, but the reality is that the Ducks are currently in much better form. With the Bruins battling numerous injuries, their chances of winning look quite bleak. Meanwhile, the Ducks have been on a winning streak and recently defeated Utah, demonstrating their strong momentum. The Bruins need to push themselves harder if they want to stand a chance against the Ducks at least. However, considering the current circumstances and recent performances, the game still seems more likely to go in favor of the Ducks.
Maple Leaves vs Blue Jackets
The Toronto Maple Leafs and the Columbus Blue Jackets will clash in an NHL season match on November 20, 2025. This match will take place at the Scotiabank Arena.
Injury Updates
Maple is currently dealing with numerous injuries across the team. Nicolas has sustained an injury, and Brandon is suffering from a lower-body injury. Anthony is sidelined with an upper-body injury. Austin has reportedly been out for the upcoming game. Chris is also reported to have upper-body injuries. As a result, most of the key players have already been ruled out due to injuries, significantly affecting the team’s lineup. In contrast, the Blue Jackets have been maintaining one of the best injury records, with minimal players sidelined. This contrast highlights the injuries impacting Maple’s team composition as they prepare for their upcoming game.
Predictions
The Maple Leafs have a strong synergy within their team, working to achieve their goals. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets are already struggling to gain momentum and maintain consistent play throughout the season. They have been inconsistent in securing victories, which has hampered their progress. For them, each game is crucial, and they must push themselves to catch up and stay competitive in the league. The game must continue regardless of setbacks, and the Blue Jackets need to adapt quickly to survive. Overall, the game is far more likely to be secured by the Maple Leafs.
Panthers vs Devils
The Florida Panthers and the New Jersey Devils will clash in an NHL season match on November 20, 2025. This match will take place at Amerant Bank Arena.
Injury Updates
The Panthers are done, done for good, with Cole and Eetu and Jonah out of the game. And on the other hand, the Devils with Connor brown out due to an upper-body injury, Dougie being out due to the same, and Dadonov with a hand injury. Cody with upper body injury, Brett having upper body injury, Jack undergoing surgery on his finger, and Zack, being the Right wing, was also reported with injury and can’t perform in this upcoming fixture.
Predictions
Panthers are not in the form, and that is the best thing for them. You may ask why. Think about the form of the Devils right now? Even if the Panthers’ form is good or not. The stage where the Devils are right now is worse than ever. And the Panthers, regardless of whether they try or not, the Devils are going to lose anyway. With countless injuries, the way their performance slowly eroded in the last games proved that they are not yet suited for facing the Panthers. And this fixture will be secured by the Panthers, and that is guaranteed.
Lightning vs Oilers
The Tampa Bay Lightning and the Edmonton Oilers will clash in an NHL season match on November 20, 2025. This match will take place at the Benchmark International Arena.
Injury Updates
Tampa having some of the injuries that could change their entire gameplay, with Victor, Anthony, and Pontus being out of the game, is more than enough to drag down the entire performance of the Lightning in this upcoming game. And on the other hand, we have the Oilers, who have very few injuries in the list, and only Kasperi and Ryan have been confirmed to be out of the games in the upcoming days. And this is surely a huge changing momentum for the Lightning; the Oilers are safe for now, and they would not have much effect on the gameplay with such a minimal injury list.
Predictions
Lightning right now does not have the power; their key players are already out of the game due to injuries, and the Oilers have been there for so long. They have the power over the Lightning, and the Oilers know it, too. And the Oilers know how to control the entire game. The Lightning should be more aware of the things, and be careful about what are the things that the Oilers are using to exploit the weakness of the Lightning. And yet the game is more guaranteed for the Oilers to secure the win.
Mammoth vs Golden Knights
The Utah Mammoth and the Vegas Golden Knights will clash in an NHL season match on November 20, 2025. This match will take place at the Delta Centre
Injury Updates
There have been no reports of injuries so far from either of these teams. Both teams have been doing well since last week, and they are already on a roll; their goaltender and their gameplay are just greater than ever. Every single side wing and left wing is making their part in the game. Drama is guaranteed for this rival.
Predictions
The Last game that went between the Mammoth and the Golden Knights ended tightly, with the Golden Knights scoring three goals, and the Mammoth just stuck at 2. Both had the form, tempo, and fierceness, but when it comes to strategic planning? It’s way more leaned towards the Mammoth. Mammoth might lost las And this is more expected for the Mammoth to secure the victory.
Avalanche vs Rangers
The Colorado Avalanche and the New York Rangers will clash in an NHL season match on November 20, 2025. This match will take place at the Ball Arena.
Injury Updates
The Avalanche does have some of the players out, but these players are just barely there to function and not in a key role. They are all just side wings, and they will be replaced soon. And on the other hand, we have the Rangers with just two injuries on the table: one is day-to-day, and the other is injury-reserved. That, too, with an upper-body injury. Matt may not be able to attend the upcoming game at the Rangers. Both of them are key players; without them, the attack might take some setbacks for the rangers.
Predictions
Both teams have their form set, and there are clearly not many injuries on the list either, but the last games proved the rest: Rangers did push harder, they had their way, and yet the Avalanche dominated. That means if the Rangers put more effort into the game, it will swing in their favor. And that is the sole reason the game went 4-5. And this time? This is more likely to guarantee the Rangers win. Because the Avalanche will let things loose due to mental overconfidence. And the Rangers are in better form. This is more anticipated for the Rangers to win the game.
Canucks vs Stars
The Vancouver Canucks and the Dallas Stars will clash in an NHL season match on November 20, 2025. This match will take place at the Rogers Arena.
Injury Updates
The Canucks have a decent injury list, with Conor considered to be out for the upcoming game. And Filip with upper body injury, and Thatcher with lower body injury, and Teddy with a lower body injury, and Derek with undisclosed injury reasons. If the replacements are clean and clear, there will be less effect on the game play of the Canucks, and on the other hand we have the Stars with a huge list of injuries, with Adam and Matt having Lower and upper body injuries respectively, Ilya being considered out for the game against the Stars, Nils having lower body issues and can’t be able to attend the upcoming game.
Predictions
Stars replacement is the only hope for them, but for the Canucks, it’s way better; they have been in the momentum. And even though they have a few losses here and there, the Canucks do know how to outplay the Stars, and they will surely do it without any disappointments. The fans are just sad that the Stars are out of form and are hoping the game will at least end in a tie. But the Canucks do have other plans. And the Canucks are the favorites in this upcoming game.
