NHL Picks

The Pete DeBoer era begins on Long Island tonight, and I'm anticipating Ilya Sorokin to lead the way in this game going Under the number. It's a horrible schedule spot for Toronto after losing 4-0 at home last night, too.

The Sabres are fighting for a division title, while the Jackets are just fighting to get into the dance. Both teams have plenty of motivation, but the Sabres' edge on defense gives them the nod as a short home favorite. 

Crosby has cashed the Over in four of his last five, and across his last two games alone, he has four helpers. He also has three assists in two meetings with the Devils. 

Still laden with pressure as he searches for his 50th goal, Caufield has racked up three assists in three games since his last tally. He has 10 apples in his last 12 games.

Jake Sanderson has missed a chunk of games due to injury yet sits 2nd on the Senators in assists, trailing only Tim Stutzle.

He facilitates a ton of offense from the back end and should be heavily involved against the Florida Panthers.

When rested, Sanderson has feasted on Bottom-16 defenses this season. He has picked up an assist in 12 of 18 games following one day of rest, including five of the last six.

The Panthers rank 31st in save percentage. They haven’t had the goaltending to clean up defensive breakdowns, and Sanderson should benefit from that.

The Jets and Blues are two of the hottest teams in the NHL because of their defensive play. St. Louis is on an 11-3-3 heater with the fewest goals against, and Winnipeg is 11-5-2 with the sixth-fewest goals allowed during the same stretch. This game goes Under the number tonight.

Boldy has already scored four times in April, and he's lit up the Stars this season, netting twice in only three meetings. He's also registered 19 SOG in those games. 

The Avalanche have been surprisingly generous to Under backers this season, posting an O/U record of 33-42-2.

The Flames traded multiple key weapons prior to the deadline (Kadri, Rasmus Andersson) and lost Jonathan Huberdeau to injury, making them more reliant on preventing goals than scoring them.

Keller has cashed the Over in helpers in five straight. During that span, Keller has eight assists. The Mammoth take on the Nashville Predators tonight, and Keller has a goal and an assist against them across three meetings.

Filip Hronek has cashed the Over in four of his last five appearances. He's already notched four assists in April, and he’s also hit the Over in three contests in a row on the road. Hronek is one of Vancouver’s top defencemen, and he plays on PP1 with the likes of Marco Rossi, Brock Boeser, and Elias Pettersson – three of the team’s best finishers. The Kings are 30th in power play kill percentage.
