New Jersey Devils at Chicago Blackhawks

The Chicago Blackhawks’ offense finally came alive with a seven-goal outburst against the Philadelphia Flyers, and another productive night could be in store as they take on a reeling New Jersey Devils squad. Tyler Bertuzzi has quietly been at the center of Chicago’s recent surge, notching six points over his last four games—including a pair of multi-point outings.

He’s heavily involved in scoring chances, playing 66.6% of his shifts in the offensive zone and logging top power-play minutes alongside Connor Bedard. Even after this recent stretch, Bertuzzi still trails his expected points pace, signaling more production is likely on the horizon.

New Jersey, meanwhile, continues to struggle in net—posting a .868 save percentage across their last five contests. With Bertuzzi surging and the Devils vulnerable, we’re grabbing plus money on him to record a point.

Top Prop: Tyler Bertuzzi Over 0.5 Points (+120)

Boston Bruins at Anaheim Ducks

Trevor Zegras is finally showing signs of life. After a frustrating 10-game goalless stretch, the Anaheim Ducks center has lit the lamp in back-to-back contests and now gets a great matchup against a fading Boston Bruins squad. Boston is playing out the string while Anaheim continues to show effort, making this a prime buy-low spot on a once-explosive talent.

Zegras has been underperforming his expected metrics all season. Despite scoring 37 goals, he’s expected to score closer to 46, a gap reflected in a low shooting percentage (11.1%) and a sub-1.000 PDO.

Those numbers suggest positive regression is coming, and the recent mini-heater could be the start of it. At +260, Zegras is worth a shot to find the net again.

Top Prop: Trevor Zegras Anytime Goal Scorer (+260)

Dallas Stars at Edmonton Oilers

With Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl sidelined, the Edmonton Oilers are leaning heavily on Ryan Nugent-Hopkins—and he’s answering the call. The veteran forward has fired 12 shots over his last three games, clearing this 2.5 line each time.

Even when fully healthy, RNH remains a key figure in Edmonton’s offense. He ranks in the top six in scoring and high-danger chances created, and his expected goals-for is fifth-best on the team.

Dallas doesn’t give up much, but the volume is there for Nugent-Hopkins. Given his recent usage bump and consistent shot generation, the +148 price to go over 2.5 shots offers substantial value in a tough matchup.

Top Prop: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Over 2.5 Shots (+148)
