Florida Panthers forward Matthew Tkachuk had a coming-out party in last year’s playoffs and recovered from a broken sternum in time to suit up for opening night this season. 

After a bit of a slower start, Tkachuk is once again showing that he’s one of the best wingers in the league. He’s up to 56 points (39 assists) in 52 games this season, including 32 points (20 assists) in his last 18 games. 

Tkachuk has recorded an assist in 14 of those 18 contests and 17 of his last 23 as well. Overall this season, Tkachuk has an assist in 27 of 52 games.

Brandon Montour Over 2.5 shots on goal (-128 via FanDuel) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Panthers were without defenseman Brandon Montour (and Aaron Ekblad) to begin the season after offseason surgeries. Montour only has 11 points in 36 games after racking up 73 in 80 games last season, but he’s been aggressive in shooting the puck.

Montour is averaging just under three shots per game this season (93 shots in 36 games) and has gone Over 2.5 shots in just under half of his contests (17 of 36). 

However, the blueliner has 39 shots in his last 12 games, including three or more shots in nine of those contests. In fact, he’s had four or more in six of those 12 games, so laddering Montour’s shots may not be a bad option on Wednesday.

Erik Karlsson to record an assist (+110 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐

The Penguins took a big swing this offseason by trading for Erik Karlsson and it’s had mixed results. The defenseman has 37 points (30 assists) in 49 games, but the Penguins are currently on the outside looking in on the playoff picture.

Karlsson has been on a roll recently, though. He’s recorded an assist in three straight games and in nine of his last 10 since Jan. 11. Going back to Jan. 2, Karlsson has an assist in 12 of 14 contests.

I’ll happily take the plus odds for Karlsson to stay hot at home.
