1. Mason McTavish o2.5 SOG +110 on BetOnline:

We are going right back to it without any shame. The Anaheim Ducks have been on of the leagues laughing stocks for several season now. And after a bumpy start their young core is starting to turn the corner. A large part of this success is coming from their young centers, Mason McTavish and Leo Carlsson. McTavish in particular has been a one man wrecking crew of the last 20 games. Today the Ducks will host a division rival, the Calgary Flames.

McTavish is really finding his game. He has a point in 65% of the last 20 games and has 8 points in his last 10 games. This success is correlated with his uptick in shot volume. He has hit his 2.5 SOG (shots on goal) prop in seven straight games. He was once a 1.5 SOG prop player but the bump has happened for two reasons; his recent form and his opponent.

Over the past five games McTavish is averaging 7.8 shot attempts a game and 5.6 SOG. This dominance has come from him using shots to set his team up for success via rebounds, puck dumps on goal and of course just trying to snipe. He is coming off an ELEVEN shot performance, which means he should be riding high in confidence making this an NHL best bet. And to really make this coupon one to cash, the Flames allow the 10th most shots against to centers.

2. Mikael Granlund Point -120 on BetOnline:

The Dallas Stars have one of the most stacked forward groups in the league. Which at times can make it tough to pick the right player to go off. Due to this depth of the offense even players who have been red hot get a slight discount as you never know which line will pop. So tonight we are going to lean into a narrative play at a discount.

Both Mikael Granlund and his linemate Matt Duchene played for the Stars’ opponent, the Nashville Predators. And both players LOVE to beat up on their former team. The fact these two player play together is just the cherry on top of this NHL best bet. Granlund has a point in 6 of the last 10 games and 8 points in those games. Against the Predators he has a point in four of the last five games against them and 7 points in those games.

The Predators had been playing a bit tighter recently but just allowed 8 goals against in their last game playing against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Over the course of the season they have allowed the 9th most goals against. Add this all up and it’s easy to see why Granlund point is an NHL best bet at a discount.

3. Dylan Guenther point -115 on BetOnline:

It may come as a surprise but the Los Angeles Kings have been one of the worst road teams all year. Luckily their home record has helped secure their playoff spot. But tonight they will take on a young, hungry Utah Hockey Club team who are still technically fighting for a playoff spot. And while they most likely wont make the postseason, playing their best this late in the season is a great learning moment.

The Utah Hockey Club has stacked their top line with young forwards Logan Cooley and Dylan Guenther with team leading scorer Clayton Keller. Now we are getting a great price on Utah’s top sniper tonight due to his recent performance. He only has a point in four of the last ten games. But he actually has great history against the Kings in his young career with a point in all three games against them and four points total.

Getting any top line forward at -115 is a steep discount. But the Kings are yet another factor why this is priced this way. They are allowing the 2nd least amount of goals against per game all season. But this dominance doesn’t carry over on the road where they allow the 18th most GA/GP this year and the 5th most in the last ten road games. Guenther would also love hitting 30 goals this season so the motivation is there to make this an NHL best bet.
