Pick - Prop
Robert Thomas Over 1.5 points (+166)
Robert Thomas has led all players with 29 assists and 37 points since February 22, and he could be primed for a big night against the sputtering Seattle Kraken. Thomas is fresh off a two-assist outing against the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday and has picked up multiple points in three of his last four games and seven of his last nine outings. Seattle’s expected starter, Joey Daccord, has been pretty bad down the stretch, posting an .887 SV% and a 3.24 GAA since February 25. Coincidentally, that’s the same day the Blues scored five goals on Daccord on just 21 shots en route to a 7-2 win as Thomas racked up a goal and an assist.

u6 (-117)
The Minnesota Wild and Vancouver Canucks both play with a lot of structure, and very little pace, when they have it their way. That’s been the case for multiple years and this season is no different. Despite all the injuries the Wild have dealt with, and how many lineup combinations they’ve had to juggle, they are a Top-5 team when it comes to limiting goals at five-on-five. The Canucks are an even more extreme example. They rank fifth in shot suppression, sixth in expected goals against, and dead last in pace at five-on-five. The Wild are all hands on deck as they fight to hang onto a playoff spot. On the flip side, the Canucks have won three of four and continue to play hard despite the playoffs being out of the cards. Expect a competitive, lower scoring meeting between two teams that rely heavily on their team defense.

o5.5 (-115)
Six of the Flyers' last eight games have cleared this total. In five of those games, one team cleared 5.5 on its own. The Sens haven't seen scores quite as robust of late, which may be leading to the favorable number, but each of their last two games have seen seven goals.
