NHL Frozen Frenzy returns with every team in action and staggered start times, with a new game beginning every 15 minutes. The action opens at 6 p.m. Eastern when Jack Hughes and the New Jersey Devils face Moritz Seider and the Detroit Red Wings live on ESPN. The ESPN triple-header continues with Cale Makar and the Colorado Avalanche taking on Jake Oettinger and the Dallas Stars at 8:30 p.m., before the Boston Bruins and San Jose Sharks close the night. Every game can be seen on ESPN or ESPN+, and a whip-around show hosted by John Buccigross and Kevin Weekes airs on ESPN2.
With 16 games and 32 teams in action, this is one of the busiest nights of the season for NHL bettors. Sean Allen and Victoria Matiash provide odds and picks for every matchup, with all odds sourced from DraftKings and accurate as of publication time.
In the opener, Jake Allen is confirmed in goal for New Jersey after Nico Daws played Monday, while John Gibson is sitting at .862 against a Devils team averaging 36.2 shots per game. The two teams combine to allow 6.60 goals per game, a hair above the 6.5 total. Elsewhere, Kent Johnson has two goals on 10 shots over his past three games and is skating on a top line and power play for Columbus against Florida, which is expected to start Akira Schmid again.
Buffalo's Tage Thompson is averaging 5.0 shots per game with four goals in his past five, and Montreal allows 21.0 shots per game to opposing forwards, 12th-most in the NHL. Washington's trio of Jackson Blake, Logan Stankoven and Taylor Hall has combined for 17 points in seven games since raising the Cup.
