Mikko Rantanen over 1.5 points (+140)

The Avalanche won their season opener in dominant fashion by a score of 5-2 over a very solid Kings team. Colorado is healthy again and they were really buzzing on Wednesday. Tonight, they get a very soft matchup against the Sharks who appear to have a good shot at winning the draft lottery next year. The Avalanche should be able to run up the score just fine in this game. That being the case, Mikko Rantanen has a great chance to be a contributor.

In Colorado's win over Los Angeles on Wednesday, Rantanen had 2 goals and 2 assists. To reiterate, the Kings are significantly better than the Sharks. If Rantanen can tally 4 points against a good team, then getting +140 odds for him to tally 2+ points against a bad team is great value. He is on the first line with Nathan MacKinnon and is on the first power play with MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Artturi Lehkonen, and Ryan Johansen. The opportunity will be there for Rantanen to produce once again.
