Pick - Spread
NY Rangers -1.5 (+105)
The Flames are coming off a beatdown on Monday courtesy of Toronto, and now have to go up against a Rangers team that is playing some good hockey of late. The Rangers have an elite PK (4th) and they are better across the board in terms of offensive stats. The Flames are dead last in goals per game and Igor Shesterkin has only allowed seven goals across his last four starts. Look for the Rangers to go up early and not look back.

Brady Tkachuk o3.5 Shots on Goal (+115)
The Habs have surrendered the most shot attempts per 60 minutes (68.73) at five-on-five to fuel a 31st-ranked 43.2 Corsi For percentage since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, so this is the perfect matchup for Tkachuk to pad the shots column. With just three shots on five attempts across his past two games, I’m anticipating putting pucks on net being priority No. 1 for Tkachuk tonight. Of course, the go-to winger sports a solid 53.0 CF% at 5-on-5 while also ranking in the 99th percentile in shots on goal among forwards for the campaign.

Best Odds
+210
+210
Tom Wilson has scored nine goals over his last 15 games and the Red Wings rank 22nd in xGA per 60 minutes over the last two months. With Wilson's exposure on the Capitals' No. 1 power play, while skating with ace facilitator Dylan Strome, he can solve this leaky Detroit defense and goaltending again tonight.

u5.5 (-120)
It’s gone from bad to worse for the Vancouver offense through 17 games since trading away J.T. Miller, and Winnipeg allows the fewest goals per game (2.28) and fewest goals per 60 minutes at five-on-five (1.7). Jets No. 1 Connor Hellebuyck is pacing the league with a .927 save percentage, 1.99 GAA, 36.0 goals saved above average, 2.12 adjusted GAA and 12.3 goalie point share, and he sports an even better .940 Sv% and 1.49 GAA through eight starts since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. Goals will be at a premium tonight with the Canucks pulling out all the stops to batten down the defensive hatches.
