In what was set up to be a 13-game slate has been reduced to 11 due to postponements. However, no one needs an unlucky Friday of 13 ahead of the holiday weekend. We've still got plenty of great opportunities on the board either way. The Bruins vs Devils should be one of the best games of the season, but that's not an ideal matchup for our player props. Instead we're going to be rooting for 2 guys to pile on the points today, so let's check out who we're targeting.'

Jason Robertson over 1.5 points (+125)
The Dallas Stars will be looking to head into the 3-day break with the lead in the Central Division, where they've been the majority of the season. They have an ideal matchup to do so taking on the Montreal Canadiens. Jason Robertson and company have already feasted on them once this season, taking them down 5-2. That game was up in Canada, and the Stars should shine even brighter in Dallas. The only debate with this play is which skater to target. We're also expecting an assist from both Roope Hintz and Miro Heiskanen, but there's a great chance both of those go to Robertson to find the back of the net.'
Robertson is having an incredible season, leading the team with 141 shots, 24 goals and 48 points overall. That's also good for the 5th-most points in the entire NHL, 2 of which came against the Canadiens in that aforementioned matchup. Although Robertson has only had 1 point in his last 2 contests, his last multi-point game was a 3-assist game against a very stout Carolina Hurricanes team. Similarly, the last time the Stars returned to Dallas after a road trip he racked up 5 points in 2 games. This will be just their 2nd game back at home after 5 on the road, so expect Robertson to find his groove and put on a show before the mini-break.'''''
