Brady Tkachuk over 3.5 shots (+100)
Brady Tkachuk will be relied upon heavily tonight. The Senators are playing a much better team in the Tampa Bay Lightning, and if they are to have any chance of winning, they’ll need their captain and top line to have a good game. In Brady’s last 5 games, he’s had 4 or more shots in 4 games. He’s coming off of a weak performance where he recorded just one shot on goal, and he should have an improved game here.
In a game earlier this season, Tkachuk scored a hat-trick and recorded 7 shots against the Lightning. He’s proven that he can play well against them and will be looking to replicate that here tonight. At +100 odds, bettors are getting great value for a player that has hit his shot total in 4 of his last 5. Take him to record over 3.5 shots tonight.

Cole Caufield over 0.5 points (-133)
Caufield’s point streak came to an end in his last game, but with the way he has been playing, he should easily get back on the horse today. He’s playing against a Canadian rival and a rematch of last year’s second round of the playoffs. Caufield has turned his season around, and although he might not win rookie of the year, he can continue to improve as a player and get better every night.
After recording just 8 points in 29 games this season, Caufield now has 10 points in his last 9 games. Under new head coach Martin St. Louis, Caufield has been operating at more than a point per game pace. These odds don’t offer the best return, but if you’re looking for a bet to boost a parlay, this is a great bet. Expect a bounce-back here tonight for Caufield and take him to record over 0.5 points.
