NHL Pick'Em Today
Auston Matthews Over 0.5 Hits vs. Colorado - 7:00 p.m. ET
Matthews is never going to be dishing out hits on the level of the NHL's grittiest players, but he did average over a hit per game last season. That number is lower this year -- 33 hits in 52 games -- but he spent much of the season dealing with an injury, so that shouldn't come as a surprise. That hesitation appears to be in the past, as he has delivered at least one hit in five of his last six games and should continue that physicality against the Avs.
Ross Colton Over 1.5 Shots vs. Colorado - 7:00 p.m. ET
Although Colton is mired in a seven-game goal drought, that hasn't stopped him from putting pucks on net, producing two shots in each of his last four outings and five of the last six. This matchup with the Avs figures to be a wide-open contest that should result in a lot of offense. The addition of Charlie Coyle and Brock Nelson has improved the center depth in Colorado, a boost that seems to also be benefitting Colton.
Jordan Eberle Over 0.5 Assists at Minnesota - 9:30 p.m. ET
Eberle is riding a five-game point streak in which he tallied two goals and six helpers, including a pair of power-play helpers. The biggest concern in this matchup for the veteran winger is that he'll score a goal instead of picking up an assist -- admittedly I was hoping PrizePicks would offer a point prop for him. Still, getting a Demon play for somebody offering this much offense right now is a good way to boost your payout.
