Panthers vs Bruins
- Time: 1 p.m. ET
- TV: Sportsnet ONE, NESN
- Analyst: Chris Faria
Player prop: David Pastrnak 4+ shots
Chris Faria's Panthers vs. Bruins predictions back Pastrnak to register at least four shots. He has cleared that mark in three straight games and entered Sunday eighth in the NHL with 121 shot attempts. With James Hagens sidelined, Boston will lean even more heavily on its leading shooter.
Goal scorer: David Pastrnak anytime goal
Faria also backs Pastrnak to score. The Bruins winger has eight goals through 17 games, including six at TD Garden and four in his last four home contests. He faces Jacob Markstrom, who entered the matchup with an .885 save percentage and had surrendered at least three goals in three straight starts.
Devils vs Maple Leafs
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: TSN4, MSGSN
- Analyst: Luc LeBlanc
Player prop: Jack Hughes 4+ shots
Luc LeBlanc's Devils vs. Maple Leafs predictions target Hughes to record at least four shots. He has fired 23 shots on 42 attempts over his last four games and leads all qualified skaters with 26.7 shot attempts per 60 minutes across the last 10 games. Toronto allows the sixth-most shots in the NHL, while Hughes has cleared this line in four straight games and five of his last six. He has also reached five shots in four consecutive outings.
Goal scorer: Arseny Gritsyuk anytime goal
Arseny Gritsyuk sits just one goal behind Hughes for the Devils' team lead and has scored in the same percentage of games this season (41.2%). The sophomore ranks third on New Jersey in scoring, averages 1:24 of power-play time per game, and has registered 17 shots on goal over his last four contests. LeBlanc sees value in backing Gritsyuk at a different price than Hughes.
Flyers vs Flames
- Time: 7 p.m. ET
- TV: Sportsnet West, NBCSP
- Analyst: Chris Faria
Player prop: Devin Cooley Over 23.5 total saves
Chris Faria's Flyers vs. Flames predictions back Cooley to make at least 24 saves. Excluding the contest he exited early due to injury, the Calgary netminder has reached 24+ saves and earned the victory in each of his last four outings. Philadelphia has recorded at least 25 shots in six of its last seven games, averaging 26.7 over that stretch, which should give Cooley enough work to clear his total.
Goal scorer: Joel Farabee anytime goal
Farabee has scored all six of his goals in the last two and a half weeks, finding the net in six of his past nine games. Since Oct. 24, the Flyers have allowed 4.00 goals per game and killed just 72.2% of opposing power plays (20th in the NHL). Calgary has converted 35.3% of its man-advantage opportunities over that stretch (fourth), and two of Farabee's six goals have come on the power play.
