Devils vs Islanders

Player prop: Arseny Gritsyuk Over 0.5 points

Todd Cordell's Devils vs. Islanders predictions targets Gritsyuk for a point. His line with Jack Hughes and Jesper Bratt has generated 4.61 goals per 60 minutes at five-on-five, controlling 65.2% of expected goals. Gritsyuk has averaged 2.82 points per 60 minutes with Hughes, while the Islanders rank 23rd in five-on-five expected-goals suppression over the last 10 games.

Goal scorer: Arseny Gritsyuk anytime goal

Gritsyuk has scored seven times in 11 games alongside Hughes and Bratt. Cordell points to his finishing ability and the quality of chances he gets from those linemates, making his anytime-goal prop a target up to 28%.

Canadiens vs Maple Leafs

Player prop: Jack Roslovic 1+ point

Dustin Saracini's Canadiens vs. Maple Leafs predictions backs Roslovic to extend his seven-game point streak. The Toronto forward has 12 points across that stretch on a line with Auston Matthews, and Saracini notes that his substantial ice-time share helps sustain those opportunities. The point prop is playable to 59%.

Goal scorer: Auston Matthews anytime goal

Saracini also backs Matthews to score, pointing to Toronto's power play converting at a 28% clip. Matthews has generated 2.4 expected goals with the man advantage, giving him a prominent role in those scoring opportunities.

Sharks vs Stars

Player prop: Jason Robertson Over 3.5 shots

Todd Cordell's Sharks vs. Stars predictions highlights Robertson's shot volume against weak defensive opponents. He has reached four shots in four of five games against Bottom-10 shot-suppression teams, including San Jose. The Sharks have conceded more than 32 shots per game over their last 10, and Cordell would play the prop up to 52%.

Goal scorer: Jason Robertson anytime goal

Robertson has scored six times and recorded 27 shots over his last six games against teams ranked in the Bottom 10 in shots or goals allowed. Cordell also notes Robertson produced a goal and an assist in a previous meeting with San Jose and would back him to score up to 51%.

Penguins vs Kings

Player prop: Alex Laferriere 3+ shots

Luc LeBlanc's Penguins vs. Kings predictions backs Laferriere to continue his recent shooting volume. The Kings winger has registered 19 shots on 31 attempts over four games, clearing this line each time. Pittsburgh has allowed a league-high 36 high-danger shots over its last 10 games, adding to the matchup appeal.

Goal scorer: Joel Armia anytime goal

Armia has scored in five of his last 11 home appearances, including two of his last three in Los Angeles. LeBlanc notes that his 45.5% scoring rate in that longer home sample leads active Kings alongside Adrian Kempe, despite the anytime-goal pick being priced at 15%.

Canucks vs Oilers

Player prop: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins 1+ assist

Dustin Saracini's Canucks vs. Oilers predictions targets an assist from Nugent-Hopkins against a Vancouver team that has allowed 4.5 goals per game over its last 10 outings. Nugent-Hopkins is projected to join Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl on Edmonton's top power-play unit, creating ample playmaking opportunities.

Goal scorer: Leon Draisaitl anytime goal

Draisaitl has scored 14 goals in 17 games while averaging 3.7 shots on net. Seven of those goals have come on the power play, and Saracini highlights Vancouver's 63.3% penalty kill and league-worst 4.61 goals allowed per game as key reasons for the selection.
