NHL Predictions 2024-25: The 17th of each month

By: Evan Troxel

These are my predictions to win every National Hockey League game during the 2024-25 season on the 17th of each month!

I plan to publish all of my predictions for the 17th of each month in the National Hockey League in the very near future, so stay tuned for my future predictions in the coming days (or perhaps weeks from now) hopefully before the NHL regular season starts!

So here is my predictions to win every matchup (for right now). (All matchups not currently listed will be published in the very near future):

My National Hockey League predictions for Thursday, October 17th, 2024 (Regular Season, Predicted on Thursday, October 17th, 2024)

Main Prediction/Game of the Day

Los Angeles Kings (1-1-2, 1-1-2 away) at Montreal Canadiens (2-2-0, 2-1-0 Home), 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time

Los Angeles' next game: Sunday (October 20th) at Anaheim Ducks

Montreal's next game: Saturday (October 19th) at New York Islanders

Occultic numbers: 3, 6, 9, 13, 22, 23, 26, 30, 33, 55, 63, 66

Los Angeles is 0/1 to win when they have a chance to "hit" an occultic number this regular season. They are 1/1 to lose when they have a chance to "hit" an occultic number this regular season.

The Kings are 0-1 in occultic game numbers this regular season. (For example, the third game of the regular season is an occultic number and the next occultic game number is the sixth game of the regular season).

Montreal is 0/0 to win when they have a chance to "hit" an occultic number this regular season. They are 1/1 to lose when they have a chance to "hit" an occultic number this regular season.

The Canadiens are 1-0 in occultic game numbers this regular season. (For example, the third game of the regular season is an occultic number and the next occultic game number is the sixth game of the regular season). Montreal is 0-1 in occultic home game numbers this regular season. (For example, the third home game of the regular season is an occultic number and the next occultic home game number is the sixth home game of the regular season).

Neither Los Angeles nor Montreal is playing an occultic game number today. Neither Los Angeles away or Montreal at home is playing an occultic game number today. However, both Los Angeles and Montreal are playing their fifth game of the regular season today and five is the third prime number.

Los Angeles is 0-2 in their second and third games of the regular season. Montreal lost their second game, but won their third game of the regular season, so they are 1-1.

Los Angeles is 0/3 to win when they have a chance to "hit" a prime number this regular season. They are 2/2 to lose when they have a chance to "hit" a prime number this regular season.

Montreal is 1/3 to win when they have a chance to "hit" a prime number this regular season. They are 1/2 to lose when they have a chance to "hit" a prime number this regular season.

Los Angeles is 0-2 in prime number games this regular season. Los Angeles hasn't played a home game yet this regular season. Los Angeles is playing their fifth road game today of the regular season.

Montreal is 1-1 in prime number games this regular season. Montreal is 1-1 in home prime number games this regular season.

Los Angeles is 1-3 against the Eastern Conference (and the Atlantic Division), they are 0-3 against the same opponents Montreal has also played this regular season (and Los Angeles is also on a three-game losing streak currently).

Montreal is 2-2 against the Eastern Conference, 2-1 against the Atlantic Division (which also are all of the same teams Los Angeles has played) and Montreal is on a one-game losing streak.

Los Angeles got outscored 16-10 in their three games against the teams Montreal also has already played this regular season. Los Angeles also lost the first two of those three games in overtime. Montreal scored 9 goals and gave up 7 goals in their three games against the teams Los Angeles has also already played this regular season.

This is the first interleague game of the regular season for both teams.

Today is the 71 date numerology. It is also the date numerology for every ninth number before and after 71. Those numbers from 0 to 300 are 8, 17, 26, 35, 44, 53, 62, 71, 80, 89, 98, 107, 116, 125, 134, 143, 152, 161, 170, 179, 188, 197, 206, 215, 224, 233, 242, 251, 260, 269, 278, 287, and 296. 305, 314, 323, 332, 341, 350, 359, 368

It is also the eight date numerology today.

The following numbers hit on the eight date numerology.

"Montreal" = 98 in the most simple cipher of Gematria. It is 35 in the reduction cipher of Gematria.

"Montreal QC" = 152 in the reverse cipher of Gematria. It is 53 in the reverse reduction cipher of Gematria.

"Quebec" is 53 in the most simple cipher of Gematria. It is 26 in the reduction cipher of Gematria.

"Los Angeles" = 161 in the reverse cipher of Gematria. It is 53 in the reverse reduction cipher of Gematria.

"Los Angeles California" = 197 in the most simple cipher of Gematria. It is 89 in the reduction cipher of Gematria.

Los Angeles nor Montreal have played a regular season game on the eight date numerology yet this season. Los Angeles nor Montreal played a preseason game on the eight date numerology this season.
