We've been having a solid week on the ice thus far, so let's keep the momentum rolling. There's a great 11-game NHL slate, so we have plenty of opportunities for profit. If you aren't feeling many of the sides or totals, there's always the player prop market. So many games can make it seem overwhelming to break down all the matchups, but that's what we're here for. With such a large slate, we've also got a bonus play for you, so let's get into it.'
Along with our player props, be sure to check out all of our NHL picks for today's action.
Steven Stamkos over 0.5 assists (+110)
With an extra play to give out, let's cut to the chase. Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning are looking to make the 4th straight Stanley Cup Final appearance, and tonight they have the Philadelphia Flyers in their way. However, they haven't provided much resistance as of late. Prior to their win on Tuesday night, they had lost 10 straight games. They're beginning to look like the Flyers of last season, where Stamkos feasted.'
In 3 meetings against Philly last season, he recorded 6 points, 4 of which were assists. It certainly helps that he skates alongside a prolific goal-scorer in Nikita Kucherov. Even teammate Brayden Point has recorded 4 goals in Tampa's last 3 games. If that wasn't enough, this game is also all about Stamkos going for his 1,000th career point. He nearly reached in against the Boston Bruins in their last game, but their stout defense held him to just 1 point. Now facing a declining Flyers squad, we're expecting a historic night for Stamkos.
