NHL Pick'Em Today
Lars Eller Over 0.5 Hits vs. Vancouver - 7:30 p.m. ET
On the year, Eller has logged at least one hit in 21 of his 38 games for the Penguins and Capitals. Since returning from a four-game injury absence, the veteran center has dished out a hit in four of five contests, including Monday's matchup in which he delivered a pair of hits. All that to say, betting Eller to add some physicality to this contest seems like a strong play.
Pierre-Luc Dubois Over 0.5 Points vs. Vancouver - 7:30 p.m. ET
While you may not want to bet on Dubois scoring a goal -- he's currently mired in a nine-game drought dating back to Dec. 17 versus the Blackhawks -- he has managed to pick up a point in nine of his last 10 outings. While we will play it safe in this article by taking him to just get a point, the team play of over 0.5 assists offers a ton of intrigue heading into this matchup -- so if you want to juice your X number, consider the demon play.
Devon Toews Over 2.5 Shots at Chicago - 7:30 p.m. ET
I usually hesitate to recommend demons or goblins in this article, but since we've already touched on one, we might as well keep this one rolling. Looking at his last four games, it's been boom or bust for Toews, as he recorded four shots on goal in three of those outings but posted a goose egg in the other one. Still, the Hawks are allowing 30.2 shots per game this year, fifth-most in the league, so it's certainly a strong play to take the demon -- though if you want to play it safe, target the 1.5-shot goblin.
