Nikolaj Ehlers over 0.5 goals (+125)
These are incredible odds for Nikolaj Ehlers to record a goal tonight. He’s on a 5-game goal streak and has shown no signs of slowing down. Since returning from his injury, Ehlers has been a key piece for Winnipeg. Currently 4 points out of a playoff spot with just 18 games remaining, the Jets will need to go on a significant run over the next month to have a chance. They’ll need their best players to show up, and tonight against the Senators should be seen as an easy two points.
In 16 career games against the Senators, Ehlers has 15 points and 7 goals. The Jets are allowing 3.8 goals per game over their last 10, and the Senators are allowing 3.5 goals over their last 10 games. This is a do-or-die final stretch for the Jets to make the playoffs, and they’ll need Ehlers and company to be on their A-game. Take Ehlers to record over 0.5 goals.

Evander Kane over 0.5 goals (+135)
This will be Evander Kane’s second game back in San Jose since his contract was terminated by the team. A lot of drama has surrounded Kane’s time in San Jose, but he seems to have found a new home in Edmonton. Kane has 22 points in 25 games as a member of the Oilers, including 14 goals. He’s scored in 3 games in a row and has 6 goals in his last 5 games. He’s been playing extremely well as of late, and tonight he’ll be looking for some revenge against his former team.
Things did not end well with the Sharks, with a lot of accusations from upper management and finger-pointing from former teammates. With the Sharks out of a playoff spot, and the Oilers fighting for first place in the Pacific Division, tonight provides Kane with a great opportunity to show up his former team. Take Kane to record over 0.5 goals.
