Along with our player props, be sure to check out our full game previews for tonight’s matchups.
Tyler Bertuzzi over 0.5 goals (+175)
Tyler Bertuzzi has been dominant for the Detroit Red Wings this season. He’s found himself on a 5-game point streak heading into tonight’s game. Since the return to play, Bertuzzi has 8 goals in 11 games. He’s been playing some of the best hockey of his career. He’s shooting the puck at a tremendous level and has a 22.5% shooting percentage. At +175, this bet provides great value. Bertuzzi is a threat every night, and considering the Red Wings are on a 3-game losing streak, he’ll need to play his best tonight for the team. In 2 of his last 5 games, he’s recorded a 3-point game with a goal. He has been playing incredibly well and should get on the scoreboard again.
The Penguins are playing the tail-end of a back-to-back tonight, which should help Detroit and Bertuzzi’s performance tonight. If there is any fatigue in Pittsburgh, it should be exposed. Take Bertuzzi to record over 0.5 goals.

Jason Robertson over 2.5 shots on goal (-133)
Jason Robertson has been the Stars’ best forward all season. Despite missing 8 games, he has 39 points in 32 games and is proving to be one of the most underrated players in the league. He’s on a 4-game point streak, but tonight it’s his shot total that holds all the value. In his last 13 games, there have been just 3 games in which he’s had under 2.5 shots. All this guy does is shoot the puck, and for good reason. He has an 18.4 shooting percentage and has one of the better wrist shots in the league. Going up against the Capitals, the Stars might be in for a tough night, and they’re going to need their top players performing at their best. The Stars win games when Robertson plays well. They’ve won their last 4 with Robertson recording a point each time. In just one game during that stretch did Robertson have under 2.5 shots. Take Robertson to record over 2.5 shots.
