Canadiens vs Wild best bet: Jakub Dobes Over 24.5 Saves (-105)

The Montreal Canadiens are turning to Jakub Dobes to make his fourth consecutive start tonight. He's won the last three, comfortably hitting the Over for saves in each, averaging 31.3 per game.

The Minnesota Wild average nearly 29 shots per game, and Dobes is riding his hottest streak of the season. He made 36 stops in a crucial win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night.

The Czech native has looked as cool and collected as Jon Cooper did with his Scarface-inspired outfit and cigar during the Stadium Series thriller in Tampa yesterday. Look for him to hit the Over yet again.

Canadiens vs Wild same-game parlay

Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson leads the team in ice time despite sharing the blue line with the likes of Lane Hutson and Noah Dobson.

He's hit the Over for shots in six consecutive games, totaling 15 SOG. He also has six assists in his last seven games — perhaps indicative of his offensive eagerness.

Meanwhile, captain Nick Suzuki has a whopping 15 assists in his last 14 games and four multi-assist games in his last 10. His 47 helpers this season are good for 10th in the NHL.
