Blue Jackets vs Sabres
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: SN+, ESPN+
- Analyst: Todd Cordell
Player prop: Noah Ostlund Over 1.5 shots
Todd Cordell's Blue Jackets vs. Sabres predictions target Ostlund to record two or more shots, a pick he would play to 63%. The Buffalo forward has cleared this line in all six home games, averaging three shots on 5.7 attempts. Columbus has conceded more than 27 shots per road game and 30.5 per game on the second night of a back-to-back.
Goal scorer: Zach Benson anytime goal
Benson has just two goals despite generating 6.3 individual expected goals this season. Cordell points to his recent promotion alongside Tage Thompson, whose high shot volume could give Benson more rebound opportunities around the crease.
Sharks vs Wild
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: NHL Network, Sportsnet+
- Analyst: Neil Parker
Player prop: Kirill Kaprizov 1+ assist
Neil Parker's Sharks vs. Wild predictions feature Kaprizov to register a helper, something he's done in five of his past six games. Minnesota's top line has controlled 67.2% of expected goals at five-on-five, and Parker would back an assist at a probability of up to 59%.
Goal scorer: Matt Boldy anytime goal
Boldy has managed only two goals in his past nine games despite creating 14 high-danger chances and 5.41 individual expected goals. Parker sees room for his finishing to rebound and recommends the anytime goal scorer pick up to 49%.
Ducks vs Flames
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- TV: ESPN+, Amazon Prime Video, NHL Network, Sportsnet
- Analyst: Luc LeBlanc
Player prop: Jackson LaCombe 1+ assists
Luc LeBlanc's Ducks vs. Flames predictions back LaCombe's playmaking. The Anaheim defenseman has recorded an assist in 14 of 16 games, including eight of nine road contests. Calgary ranks 24th in goals allowed and has taken the seventh-most penalties, offering opportunities for Anaheim's potent power play.
Goal scorer: Cutter Gauthier anytime goal
Gauthier has scored nine goals in his last four games, including consecutive hat tricks. He's leading the Ducks with 11 goals on the season, and a Calgary team allowing 3.44 goals per game offers another promising opportunity for the red-hot Anaheim forward.
