Injury Report
New York is without starting goaltender Igor Shesterkin after a season-ending knee injury, while backup Joonas Korpisalo has also been sidelined by a lower-body issue. Dylan Garand and James Reimer have been handling the crease. Defenseman Sean Durzi is another reported concern. St. Louis has listed Colton Parayko as day to day with an upper-body injury, while Tyler Tucker and Logan Mailloux are among unavailable defenders. Check final lineups before puck drop.
Key Players
Key Matchup Edge
St. Louis may have the clearer offensive opportunity against a Rangers crease missing Shesterkin and Korpisalo. New York has surrendered 17 goals over three recent games, although its 6-2 home mark keeps the favorite case alive. The choice is between the Blues scoring momentum and a potential home rebound.

Betting Breakdown
Tennessee hosts Wofford in the 2026-27 opener at Food City Center, with tipoff scheduled for 6 p.m. Eastern on SEC Network. The Volunteers begin with a 0-0 record after winning 25 games last season and reaching a third consecutive Elite Eight. Wofford also starts 0-0 after a 19-13 campaign. The market has installed Tennessee as a substantial favorite, but available pricing has eased from around 27.5 to 26.5 points even as the total has moved upward from 152.5 to 154.5. Tennessee has won all nine historical meetings, including the last two by 15 and 21 points, yet Wofford covered both of those matchups against larger closing spreads. The central mismatch is on the boards: Tennessee dominated rebounding last season and can manufacture extra possessions through offensive rebounds. However, a rebuilt rotation featuring nine transfers creates early-season questions around chemistry, pace and scoring distribution. Wofford needs Chace Watley to organize possessions and limit turnovers to keep the margin manageable. With such a large number, late-game pace and bench usage are as important as the likely winner.
Wofford Betting Outlook
Wofford enters 2026-27 at 0-0 following a 19-13 season, and the Terriers were picked third in the Southern Conference preseason poll. Sophomore Chace Watley is the leading returning scorer at 9.7 points per game. Their final five results last season were two wins and three losses, including a narrow conference tournament loss to UNC Greensboro. Tennessee presents a steep step up in physicality and depth, particularly on the offensive glass. Wofford will need clean guard possessions, defensive rebounding and efficient perimeter offense to compete against the number. The Terriers have a useful spread precedent: they covered in their last two meetings with Tennessee despite losing both outright.
Tennessee Betting Outlook
Tennessee begins the season 0-0 after a 25-win 2025-26 campaign that ended in the Elite Eight. Rick Barnes brings in nine transfers, including preseason All-SEC wing Juke Harris, creating substantial scoring options but some early uncertainty about rotations and chemistry. The Volunteers averaged a plus-12.6 rebounding margin last season and posted at least 10 offensive rebounds in 36 of 37 contests. That physical identity offers a clear route to control against Wofford. Tennessee is also 36-3 in home openers at Food City Center. Still, the betting demand is much larger than simply winning: laying roughly 26.5 points requires sustained intensity and a productive closing stretch.
