Ben Kindel o0.5 Points (-115)
While Kindel has been held off the scoresheet in consecutive games, he projects to continue jumping the boards with the top line and No. 1 power-play unit, and the Preds check out as a soft matchup. Kindel has been on the ice for 8.74 expected goals and recorded five points – three goals – across his past six games, and Nashville has surrendered the third-most goals per game (3.61).

Nikolaj Ehlers o2.5 Shots on Goal (+100)
It’s been a smooth transition to the Hurricanes for Ehlers, and he’s piled up 48 shots on 92 attempts to rank second on the club in each through 16 games. This is also a soft matchup with Vancouver allowing the second-most attempts per 60 minutes and seventh-most shots per game (30.2). I also value Ehlers posting a high-end 57.0 Corsi For percentage at five-on-five and slotting in with the No. 1 power-play unit.
CAR -1.5 (+110)

The Russian has jumped up to the top line and No. 1 power-play unit and scored in three consecutive games. Michkov is an elite offensive talent and has driven five-on-five possession with a 54.4 Corsi For percentage during the three-game point streak. The Blues have also allowed the second-most goals per game (3.76) and rank 29th in team save percentage at 5-on-5.
