Rickard Rakell o0.5 Goals Scored (+205)
Rakell has scored seven times in March. In fact, he has found the back of the net in three of his last five. The veteran scored twice on Thursday against the Ottawa Senators, and he also had a goal last Tuesday against the Avalanche. Tonight, the Pens take on the New York Islanders, and Rakell has a goal against them across two meetings.

Martin Necas o0.5 Assists (-140)
Necas has logged an assist in three of his last five games. He has a pair of multi-assist games during that span, and he’s really produced at home. Necas has 26 assists in 33 outings at Ball Arena, and the Avs host the Calgary Flames this evening, a team that's not great defensively.
Zach Whitecloud o2.5 Shots Blocked (+140)

u6.5 (-115)
Kevin Lankinen has played better of late. He has allowed three goals or fewer in five of his last seven starts, with the exceptions coming against Tampa Bay and Anaheim – two high-tier offenses.
Lankinen stopped 1.13 goals more than expected during that sample, showcasing the ability to hold the fort despite a hefty workload.
He should have an easier time slowing down a Vegas squad that has scored just 12 goals over its last seven games and is lacking confidence offensively.
On the other side, the Golden Knights rank 3rd in shot suppression and 6th in penalty kill percentage. That should help them keep the puck out.
o6.5 (-104)
The Golden Knights could get the nebulous "new coach boost" now that John Tortorella has taken over as the bench boss in Sin City, but, more accurately, a date with the Canucks can cure what ails them. No team has allowed more goals than Vancouver, and six of their last seven games have seen at least seven goals scored.
