Darren Raddysh o0.5 Points (-130)
Darren Raddysh has taken full advantage of Victor Hedman's absence this season, finding the scoresheet in 10 of 14 games while tallying 18 points in total. Playing an abundance of minutes for a team that is getting healthier up front, Raddysh should continue to be productive.

ANA (+110)
The Rangers barely escaped MSG with an overtime win over the Canadiens on Saturday night, and will put their putrid home record to the test again against the Ducks. Take Anaheim at plus money to win straight up here and fade New York at home until it can string together some success.

Gabriel Vilardi o0.5 Goals Scored (+190)
Brady Tkachuk o3.5 Shots On Goal (-105)
Tkachuk has a team-high 23 shots on 40 attempts since returning to the lineup while posting a high-end 58.8 Corsi For percentage and 60.3% shot share at five-on-five. He has also paced the Sens in shots per 60 minutes with the man advantage during the stretch. Tkachuk lands in a solid matchup to pile up shots on Monday, too. The Winnipeg Jets sport the sixth-worst CF% at five-on-five while averaging the 10th-most shorthanded time per game.

DAL (-124)
The Kings are missing key forwards Phillip Danault and Quinton Byfield tonight, and the Stars are looking to snap a two-game losing streak. I like Dallas to do just that. The Stars put together a dominant 14-1-2 run with a plus-33 goal differential prior to the skid, after all.
Kevin Fiala o0.5 Points (-135)
Kevin Fiala has points in 13 of 17 road games and eight of his last nine. He has produced in even the most difficult of matchups, hitting the scoresheet in six of seven road appearances vs. teams that rank Top-10 in limiting shots or points to forwards.
