This is a 1⭐️PLAY

Play: (CLE) Chase DeLauter Over 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+130) at BetMGM

After a dominant Spring Training where he hit .459 (17-for-37) with five doubles and three home runs, Chase DeLauter has officially arrived. The rookie carried that momentum directly into his MLB debut, turning heads with a massive 3-for-5 performance that included two home runs, three runs scored, and two RBIs.

He didn't slow down in his second outing, adding another home run to his tally. Through just two games, DeLauter has already racked up four hits, four runs, three home runs, and three RBIs. His power stroke is in mid-season form, making him an elite target for HRR props while he's this locked in.

The PLAY: (LA) Artemi Panarin Anytime Goal (+170)

This is a 1⭐️PLAY

Play: (LA) Artemi Panarin Anytime Goal (+170) at BetMGM

Artemi Panarin enters this matchup as a focal point of the offense, having found the back of the net in 4 of his last 5 games and 5 of his last 7 overall. His efficiency on home ice has been equally impressive, with goals in 3 of his last 4 games at home. Panarin also brings a history of dominance against this opponent, scoring in 5 of his last 6 meetings with the Utah Mammoth—including two multi-goal performances during that stretch. Given his current scoring tear and historical success in this matchup, Panarin is a prime candidate to keep his streak alive tonight.

The PLAY: (MTL) Cole Caufield Anytime Goal (+125)

This is a 1⭐️PLAY

Play: (MTL) Cole Caufield Anytime Goal (+125) at Fanduel

Cole Caufield has been playing exceptionally well recently, leading the Canadiens with 44 goals and 213 shots on goal. He has been incredibly consistent, finding the back of the net in 5 of his last 7 games. Caufield also has a strong track record against Nashville, scoring in 4 of their last 7 matchups, including a two-goal performance in their first meeting this season.

Most notably, he has thrived under the Saturday night spotlight, scoring in 6 of his last 7 Saturday games—with multiple goals in five of those six outings. Given his history against the Predators and his dominance on Saturday nights, he is a prime candidate to lead the Montreal offense again.

The PLAY: (NJ) Jesper Bratt Anytime Goal (+310)

This is a 1⭐️PLAY

Play: (NJ) Jesper Bratt Anytime Goal (+310) at BetMGM

Jesper Bratt is an absolute 'must-bet' right now. He’s riding a five-game goal streak and has scored in four consecutive road games. As a focal point of the Devils' top power play alongside Jack Hughes, Bratt is getting the volume and the looks to sustain this production. With the way he’s finishing lately, getting him at these odds for an anytime goal provides massive value. Ride the hot hand.

The PLAY: Buffalo Sabres to Win the Eastern Conference (+750)

This is a 1⭐️PLAY

Play: Buffalo Sabres to Reach Stanley Cup Final (Win the Eastern Conference) (+750) at Fanduel

The Buffalo Sabres currently hold the longest playoff drought in the NHL, spanning 14 consecutive seasons. Their last playoff appearance was in the 2010-2011 season. At one point, Buffalo looked destined to continue that drought, sitting at 11-14-4 on December 8th.

Since then, the Sabres have gone 32-6-2, which includes a ten-game and an eight-game winning streak. They made a change at the general manager position, firing Kevyn Adams on December 15, 2025, and appointing former Columbus Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekäläinen as the new GM.

Buffalo has been remarkably consistent, suffering only two back-to-back losing streaks since December 8th. They are 6-2-0 in their last 8 games following a loss and have gone 11-0-1 in their last 12 away games.

The Sabres are capable of winning low-scoring games, having allowed two or fewer goals in 10 of their last 12 contests. They boast two quality goaltenders with very similar stats: a 2.54 and 2.60 GAA, and save percentages of .915 and .909.

In the Eastern Conference, the two favorites to reach the Stanley Cup Finals are Tampa Bay and Carolina. Most teams have 13-15 games remaining before the playoffs. Buffalo is currently leading the Atlantic Division by four points and is tied with Carolina for first place in the Eastern Conference. Buffalo likely offers the most value as a playoff futures bet because they are unproven in the postseason, but they have been the most consistent team in the NHL for months. Meanwhile, both Carolina and Tampa Bay have faced recent questions regarding their goaltending.

I believe Buffalo will go on a deep run in the postseason and clinch a spot in their third Stanley Cup Final. I am betting on Buffalo to win the Eastern Conference and to win the Stanley Cup.
