NHL Tonight: Previews, stats, betting info for Saturday's 14 games

ESPN staff Oct 10, 2026, 08:00 AM ET On Tuesday, hockey fans will enjoy the Frozen Frenzy with all 32 teams in action throughout the night. On Saturday, the NHL nearly gets there, with 14 games taking place. The fun begins with Flyers-Bruins at 1 p.m. ET, continues with three more in the late afternoon, the standard phalanx of eight games at 7 or 7:30, then two nightcaps beginning at 10.

Here's a look at the key stats and storylines in each contest, along with betting info on broadcast details: Odds are provided by Draft Kings and subject to change. Philadelphia Flyers at Boston Bruins1 p.m. ET (NHL Network) | BOS -135, O/U: 5.5One of these days, the Flyers will get their first win of the season. Will it be Saturday? The Bruins have alternated between being world-beaters -- including impressive wins over the Mammoth and Rangers -- and getting their doors blown off by the Senators and Wild. This game could go a lot of different directions!

Vancouver Canucks at New Jersey Devils3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+) | NJ -278, O/U: 6.5In seasons past, any Canucks-Devils game would mean a showdown between Vancouver's Quinn Hughes and New Jersey's Jack Hughes (and later, Luke Hughes). With Quinn now in Minnesota, the familial connection isn't there. But this could be a fun watch, since Canucks center Elias Pettersson has apparently remembered that he's an elite talent; after two straight lackluster campaigns, he has eight points through the first five games. How will the Devs' own superstars match up?

Edmonton Oilers at San Jose Sharks4 p.m. ET (ESPN+) | EDM -155, O/U: 6.5Is the main event taking place at 4 p.m. Saturday? This is the first showdown of the season between the world's No. 1 player, Connor Mc David, and Macklin Celebrini, who might be his toughest competition in the MVP race for years to come. Don't miss this one; the teams don't play again until Jan. 13.
