Michael Bunting over 0.5 points (-133)
People are overlooking Bunting as the potential rookie of the year. He may not be an 18-year old that was drafted last summer, but he still is eligible to win it and he’s making a solid case. Playing alongside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, Bunting has established himself as a legit first-line asset who has great puck retrieval abilities and offensive awareness. He has 33 points in 47 games this season, which is fifth in rookie scoring. Where he has excelled this season is goal scoring; he has 16 goals which leads all rookies. He has six points in his last six games and has nine goals in his last 12 games. He has been on fire offensively and that should continue tonight. With Matthews and Marner on his line, you can expect points nearly every night for that trio. Take Bunting to record over 0.5 points tonight.

Matthew Tkachuk over 0.5 goals (+155)
Matthew Tkachuk is currently on a two-game goal streak and has been one of the best players for the Flames this season. Tkachuk has been consistently dominant with 23 goals in 47 games. He is almost scoring a goal every other game, and these odds are undervaluing that. He has been a threat every night this season. In his last game against the Kraken, Tkachuk totaled three points with a goal and two assists. He will be looking for a repeat performance against them tonight on home ice. In 20 home games this season, Tkachuk has recorded 12 goals. He has 28 points on home ice this season, so expect some fireworks from him tonight. The Flames are on an eight-game win streak and a lot of that has to do with how their first line has been playing. Expect them to keep it up, as Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau are both averaging well over a point per game. Take Tkachuk to score.
