NHL Pick'Em Today

Nikita Kucherov Over 0.5 Points vs. Toronto - 7:00 p.m. ET 

Admittedly, I was hoping that PrizePicks would offer a 1.5 points prop on the board, as I think two points is almost a lock for Kucherov in this one. He has five multi-point performances in his previous seven outings, and Toronto comes into this matchup on the second half of a back-to-back after losing to Florida on Tuesday. We will stick with the Goblin play here at over 0.5 points, but you could consider the Demon play at over 2.5 points. 

Marc-Andre Fleury Over 22.5 Saves vs. San Jose - 8:00 p.m. ET

Over Fleury's 23 outings this season, he has hit this over in 16 of those contests, which includes his previous matchup with San Jose in which he made 24 of 26 saves. He's also hit that over in four of his last five outings. The only concern here is whether the Sharks can generate enough shots to get the Flower over the line. 

Brock Faber Over 1.5 Shots vs. San Jose - 8:00 p.m. ET

Faber has registered two or more shots in each of his last seven contests and will now be facing a Sharks squad that is allowing the second-most shots per game this season at 31.6. Again, if you want the higher payout, I don't hate looking at the Demon play here at over 2.5 shots, which Faber has hit in three of his last four contests.
