NHL Pick'Em Today
Pierre-Luc Dubois Under 1.5 shots at Dallas - 8 p.m. ET
A recent look at Dubois' shots per game provides reason to believe he will hit the two-SOG mark, as he managed that many in three of his last four appearances. If you extend out further, though, you will find he actually fell short in six of the last 10. Combine that with a matchup against a Dallas squad that is limiting opponents to just 26.9 shots per game and I'll take the under on this one.
Zach Hyman Over 0.5 goals vs Florida - 8:30 p.m. ET
Admittedly, I try to avoid tossing in what are essentially anytime goal-scorer props, but Hyman has been on a tear since returning from injury, with goals in four of his last five outings -- including a pair of power-play tallies. When you get as much ice time as Hyman does alongside Connor McDavid, both at even strength and on the power play, it's almost more astonishing if you aren't scoring. Based on odds, he is the third most likely player to score behind McDavid and Florida's Sam Reinhart, so it's worth the risk plus the boost with this being a demon play.
Jamie Benn Over 0.5 points vs Washington - 8 p.m. ET
Benn has registered at least a point in five of his seven December appearances, and he has gone more than one game without a point only once this year, which was back in mid-October when he had a four-game slump. It's a tough matchup facing a Capitals team that have gotten some outstanding goaltending this year, but I think it's worth rolling the dice on Benn to at least snag a secondary helper.
