Mathew Barzal Anytime Scorer (+235)

We have a Metropolitan Division tilt as the fifth-place New York Islanders travel to New Jersey to take on the seventh-place Devils. Barzal scored in his last game against the Devils and is a good bet to do it again.

Barzal is starting to find his rhythm again as he has scored in back-to-back games, collecting four total points. He will have a great matchup against the Devils, who currently rank 29th in the league in goals allowed per game.

Since the Devils are on the second half of a back-to-back, we can expect to see Nico Daws between the pipes. Daws has been awful recently as he has allowed four or more goals in five of his last seven starts, posting a troubling 0.856 save percentage over that stretch.

J.T. Miller Anytime Scorer (+165)

We have a Pacific Division battle as the fifth-place Vancouver Canucks host the fourth-place Vegas Golden Knights. This is the second meeting between these two teams this season, as the Golden Knights won the first matchup in a very high-scoring 7-4 game.

Miller found the back of the net in that outing and is in an excellent spot to do so once again. Over his last six games, Miller has notched four goals and should be on the ice for long stretches of time once again as the Canucks are very banged up right now.

He will have a good matchup against Vegas and projected starting goaltender Logan Thompson. Thompson’s numbers take a dip when playing on the road this season as he is just 3-3 with a 0.912 save percentage.

Connor McDavid Anytime Scorer (+100)

We have another Pacific Division showdown as the third-place Edmonton Oilers travel to Anaheim to take on the sixth-place Ducks. This is the third meeting between these two teams this season, as the Oilers are averaging 6.5 goals per game over those first two matchups.

McDavid is always a solid bet to score as he has scored 10 goals over his last 12 games. Edmonton’s superstar will have many opportunities to score against an Anaheim team that ranks 20th in the league in goals allowed per game.

John Gibson is the projected starting goaltender for the Ducks and has been atrocious since the all-star break. Since the break, Gibson has allowed three or more goals in all 16 of his starts, posting a brutal 0.864 save percentage over that stretch.

Best of luck!
