We have twelve games taking place across the NHL tonight. I’ll break down some sides/totals along with a few player props to take a look at.
Picks:
- Vancouver Canucks in Regulation (-140) – DraftKings
Vancouver has been playing some great hockey as of late winning four of their last five games. They face off against a winless San Jose Sharks team that has been horrendous. The Canucks rank 4th in GF/GP (4) and GA/GP (2.33) while San Jose ranks dead last in GF/GP and 30th in GA/GP (3.78). Thatcher Demko will get the start for Vancouver tonight who’s had a great start to the season ranking 5th in Goal Saved Above Expected (GSAx) with a +6.1. While San Jose will eventually get their first win of the season, I don’t believe it happens tonight as the Canucks should handle them in regulation.
- New York Islanders moneyline (-118) – FanDuel
The Islanders are coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to Detroit in their last game. They face a Washington team that has won three straight against some sub-par opponents outside of New Jersey. Two of those three wins they had came against some of the worst defensive teams in the NHL (Minnesota and San Jose). New York should be able to shut down Washington’s offense tonight which has started to pick up. This should be a low-scoring affair where we see New York come away with a 3/2 – 1 victory.

- Tampa Bay Lightning/ Columbus Blue Jackets over 6.5 (-130) – DraftKings
