Tyler Bertuzzi over 0.5 goals (+150)
Bertuzzi has been the Wings’ best player this season. With 40 points in 39 games, he’s nearly leading his team in points despite playing 3 fewer games than his teammate Dylan Larkin. Since returning from the postponements in December, Bertuzzi has recorded 10 goals in 16 games. He’s been on a great goalscoring stretch heading into tonight, and he’s playing a defeated team in the Flyers.
The Flyers are 8-10-4 at home this season while allowing 3.29 goals per game. They’ve had an extremely disappointing season so far and haven’t shown any signs of rebounding. They’ve posted two separate losing streaks of 10 or more games this season. The Red Wings are surprising everyone and still battling for a potential playoff spot. Their top line, including Bertuzzi, will need to show up tonight to get an important two points. At +150, bettors are getting incredible value for someone who has 10 goals in his last 16 games. Take him to find the net tonight.

Clayton Keller over 0.5 points (-143)
Clayton Keller is showing the NHL that he is the real deal. After some very mediocre seasons, he’s finally starting to excel and has found himself with 38 points in 46 games played. In his last 10 games, he’s recorded 11 points. -143 doesn’t have the highest payout, but it is still great value for a player that’s been operating at over a point per game in the last month. He’s been averaging more than 20 minutes per game in his most recent contests, if that continues he should continue to produce. The Yotes are playing Seattle tonight, which should allow Keller to find some open ice. Nobody on the Kraken has the same skillset as Keller and if he can control the puck, he should easily record a point tonight. Seattle is allowing 3.43 goals per game.
Keller’s linemate, Nick Schmaltz has recorded nine points in his last 10 games. With both players playing so well lately, it’s tough to imagine Clayton not recording a point tonight. The Kraken are not the best defensive team in the league and it might be hard for them to keep up for 60 minutes. Take Keller to record over 0.5 points tonight.
