Picks:
- Bryaden Point over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-135) – DraftKings
Brayden Point occupies a key role on Tampa Bay’s top line alongside Anthony Duclair and Nikita Kucherov, forming a formidable trio. Furthermore, he plays a significant part on Tampa Bay’s first Powerplay unit, which is expected to capitalize on numerous opportunities in tonight’s game. In the first two games of the series, the Lightning had eight Power Play opportunites, scoring on the man advanatge in each game.
Point has consistently met his shots on goal quota in four out of his last five games. In the opening game, he managed four shots on goal out of five shot attempts and also led the Tampa Bay forwards in ice time. In the second game, he only had one shot on goal out of four shot attempts.
At home this season, Point was much better recording over 2.5 shots on goal in 73.2% of the games compared to just 42.5% on the road.
Additionally, Point boasts an impressive track record against Florida, recording over 2.5 shots on goal in ten of their last thirteen encounters.
- Bo Horvat over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-112) – BetRivers
Bo Horvat occupies a key role on New Yorks’s top line alongside Casey Cizikas and Mathew Barzal, forming a formidable trio. Furthermore, he plays a significant part on New York’s first Powerplay unit. In the first two games of the series, the Islanders only had three Power Play opportunites, but did score on their lone man advanatge last game.
Horvat has consistently met his shots on goal quota in four out of his last five games. In the opening game, he managed five shots on goal out of six shot attempts. In the second game, he had three shots on goal out of four shot attempts. In each of the first two games of the series Horvat led the New York forwards in ice time.

Kyle Palmeri occupies a key role on New Yorks’s second line alongside Hudson Fasching and Brock Nelson, forming a formidable trio.
