Auston Matthews anytime goal (+130) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Auston Matthews has done more damage to the New Jersey Devils than almost any other opponent.

The superstar sniper has 21 goals across 22 career games versus the Devils. The only teams he's scored more against are the Canadiens, Senators, and Sabres - all divisional matchups in which he has several more games played.

This is a matchup Matthews feasts in, and I'm backing him to continue doing so on Tuesday. FanDuel offers the top value among the best sports betting sites at +130 odds, where a $10 bet can earn $13 in profit.

Bo Horvat anytime goal (+165) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bo Horvat has scored in four straight against the Blackhawks, including the last three with New York.

The Islanders' goals and points leader gets an out-of-sorts Blackhawks opponent tonight, too. No team has allowed more goals at five-on-five over the last 20 games than Chicago, according to MoneyPuck.

Nico Hischier anytime goal (+210) ⭐⭐⭐

This play is one that's largely supported by the underlying numbers, if not Nico Hischier's recent score sheet.

Although the Devils captain hasn't scored since Dec. 1, he has 4.4 expected goals and five unblocked high-danger chances over his last 10 games, per MoneyPuck.

I'm backing Hischier to finally be rewarded for his strong offensive play tonight against a Maple Leafs squad that's given up at least three goals in six straight games.
