Dallas Stars @ Pittsburgh Penguins

My Pick – Evgeni Malkin Prop to Account for Over 0.5 Points (-195 at DraftKings)

37-year-old center Evgeni Malkin is playing at a high level early in the season, but the Pittsburgh Penguins (2-3) will need the energy to get back to a rhythm. On Tuesday, the Penguins will face the Dallas Stars (3-0-1), who are playing at a high level. 

The Stars came into the season with one of the most projected efficient defenses in the league. Through four games played, the Stars have allowed 10 goals. 

The Penguins have accounted for 16 goals in five games while allowing 16. While their defense has been atrocious, the offense has played at a high level. Malkin has accounted for eight points and four goals, both team-high. He has also accounted for four assists.

Malkin remains one of the most aggressive players in the league and has taken command of this Penguins' offense. He is a player that will have a significant impact in this key matchup.

Vancouver Canucks @ Nashville Predators

My Pick – Elias Pettersson Prop to Account for Over 0.5 Assists (-110 at DraftKings)

The Vancouver Canucks (3-2) are feeling great about their talent and potential to be a championship contending team. The Canucks are on the road this Tuesday night to take on the Nashville Predators (3-3).

The Predators are off to a rough defensive start by allowing 16 goals in six games this season. They are also on a two-game losing streak. 

The Canucks are starting with one of the more impressive performances of the season, especially on the offensive side of the ice. Vancouver has scored 20 goals in five games this season as center Elias Pettersson is a crucial part of the offense. 

Pettersson has accounted for a team-high 10 points with eight of them being a league-high eight assists. Pettersson is a player who knows how to get his teammates in great positions to score and is one of the best passers in the league.

Pettersson getting the over of one assist should be the easiest bet to make on this Tuesday's slate of NHL games.

Philadelphia Flyers @ Vegas Golden Knights

My Pick – Jack Eichel Prop to Account for Over 3.5 Shot at Goals (-115 at DraftKings)

The latest, but one of the biggest matchups of Tuesday's busy NHL slate is the Philadelphia Flyers (3-1-1) at the Vegas Golden Knights (6-0). The Knights are one of three teams in the NHL who have not lost a game in regular session or overtime. The Flyers are one of the biggest surprise teams this season in just a short amount of games.

One thing that isn't a surprise is the command of the Golden Knights offense that center Jack Eichel brings. Eichel leads the league in shots at the goal attempted this season at 32. He is averaging 5.3 shots at the goal per game. 

Bettors who wager the over on 3.5 shot attempts in the game against the Flyers will earn a significant amount of earnings. He has attempted four or more shots in four of the six games played this season. The two games he didn’t were games against the Seattle Mariners and the Winnipeg Jets. This game against the Flyers will require more from the young star.
