Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook

  • Macklin Celebrini Anytime Goalscorer (+125) vs. Ducks
  • Jackson LaCombe OVER 0.5 Assists (+100) at Sharks
  • Quinton Byfield OVER 2.5 Shots on Goal (+150) vs. Blues

Macklin Celebrini Anytime Goalscorer (+125) vs. Ducks

Macklin Celebrini is doing his best to power the Sharks to the playoffs in his sophomore season. He has 101 points (38 goals) through 72 games, and has three goals in his last two games after a six-game drought.

Even with those six goalless games, Celebrini has 10 goals in 16 games since February 28. He also scored in the last meeting against the Ducks in Anaheim on December 29.

This should be a high-scoring game in San Jose, and Celebrini is a good bet to light the lamp.

Jackson LaCombe OVER 0.5 Assists (+100) at Sharks

Jackson LaCombe is enjoying a breakout season in Anaheim. The Ducks' defenseman has 53 points (44 assists) in 74 games, including three assists in his last two contests.

LaCombe now has OVER 0.5 assists in four of his last five games and 14 of 20 games since the start of February.

I’m expecting a high-scoring game, and LaCombe has been a great bet to pick up an assist over the last few months.

Quinton Byfield OVER 2.5 Shots on Goal (+150) vs. Blues

Quinton Byfield doesn’t always shoot the puck a ton, but he’s been doing so as of late.

The Kings' forward has OVER 2.5 shots on goal in five straight games, with 27 total shot attempts in that span. Going back to March 9, Byfield has 30 SOG in 11 games, going OVER 2.5 SOG in 8 of those contests.

I’ll take this +150 price for Byfield to keep firing the puck on net at home.
