Key Skaters
W David Pastrnak (BOS)
The Bruins come into tonight as -525 favorites, yes you read that right. The Sharks are 5-15-2 on the season and are 0-9-0 on the road. Overall San Jose is allowing four goals per game, most in the league while the Bruins score 3.33 goals per game (9th). The Bruins have lost three games in a row and will be looking to turn that around and I think they do in a big way. Pastrnak has 13 goals and 18 assists but has just one goal in his last four games. The shot volume continues to be there with five or more shots in six of his last nine games which will provide a solid floor.
W Matthew Tkachuk (FLA)
Tkachuk and the Panthers travel to the Bell Centré to take on the Canadiens who are allowing close to 34 shots per game. Tkachuk (91 shots) has just three goals on the season suggesting that regression should be coming. Tkachuk is the cheapest he’s been all season ($7,200) in a spot that should see scoring chances on both sides.
