GAMES OF THE NIGHT
- New York Rangers at Colorado Avalanche, 9 p.m. ET
- Dallas Stars at Vancouver Canucks, 10 p.m. ET
Avalanche 3-way ML vs. Rangers (+100)
Brandon Velaski — Colorado is coming off an embarrassing home loss to Montreal on Tuesday and can’t afford to fall further behind Dallas in the Central Division race with only a few games left. New York clinched a playoff berth this week, so this is a prime letdown situation that won’t go past 60 minutes.
Nathan MacKinnon Over 4.5 SOG vs. Rangers (-105)
Lou Saccomando — This guy is a machine and probably the front-runner for the Hart Trophy. MacKinnon has a 35-game home point streak, which is the second-longest in NHL history, and he has hit this over in seven of his last 10 games. He leads the league in shots per game (4.88), and the value is still there at -105. So you take that and run!
Jason Robertson Over 2.5 SOG at Canucks (-135)
Brandon Velaski — This is laughably low. Especially after Robertson registered eight shots on target Tuesday night in San Jose. And while he’s only been over this mark in three of his last nine games, he did have a nine-shot game against these very Canucks earlier this season.
SGP: Stars ML at Canucks, Under 6.5 total goals (+220)
Lou Saccomando — Not only have the Stars won five games in a row, but they also have been victorious in their last five on the road. The teams split their previous two meetings this season, and both are in the top 13 in goals allowed per game. The powerhouse squads could meet in the second round of the playoffs. Expect a low-scoring affair with Dallas prevailing.
Season record: 8-19, -10.95 units
