Neil Smith had a good Friday night. The favoured Rangers rolled over Vancouver, and the Predators came back in Vegas to win in a shootout. Two good calls, and his record moves to 194 wins and 117 losses, a 62.4 percent hit rate.
A loaded Saturday
Saturday brings a huge slate: 14 games, opening with the Global Series finale between the Kraken and the Hurricanes in Helsinki at 1 p.m. ET. Neil gives his picks for all 14 games in the episode, published Saturday morning.

Neil's picks do not replace your own judgment, but they give a good feel for the night, especially when you have to choose between two goalies or a forward to add. Listen to the episode on nhlwraparound.com to hear all 14 picks and his thinking behind them.
