Adam Fantilli o2.5 Shots On Goal (-120)
Fantilli has only picked up 10 shots across his past six games despite recording a healthy 26 attempts. That 38.5% conversion rate is well below the 47.7% mark he posted through the first 52 games of the season, and there’s nothing scary about this matchup. The Rangers rank below average in both shots allowed per game and Corsi For percentage at five-on-five, after all.

u5.5 (+110)
The Canucks have only scored five times through three games out of the Olympic break to drop to just 2.08 goals per game during an active 3-17-4 skid. So, I don't expect much offense from Vancouver against Dallas. The Stars are rolling along a 9-1 stretch while allowing the third-fewest goals per game (2.4) and dominating five-on-five play with a fourth-ranked Corsi For percentage and the fewest expected goals per 60 minutes against, after all.

Valeri Nichushkin o0.5 Points (+102)
Valeri Nichushkin has hit the scoresheet in 16 of 25 away games, good for a 64% clip.
The caliber of opponent hasn’t affected his production. He has recorded a point in the same percentage of road games against Top-16 defenses as Bottom-16 defenses.
Gabriel Landeskog o0.5 Assists (+140)
Landeskog is pencilled in to skate with Nathan MacKinnon and Martin Necas in all situations Monday, and it’s a cushy gig for the veteran winger. The Colorado captain has been on the ice with MacKinnon for a healthy 265:15 of ice time this season, and the Avs have scored 6.79 goals per 60 minutes while also running wild at five-on-five with 58.0 Corsi For percentage and 56.6 expected goals percentage.
