San Jose Sharks vs. Detroit Red Wings
Tuesday, January 24, 2023 – 07:00 PM EST at Little Caesars Arena
Erik Karlsson (San Jose Sharks)
- Over/Under Points
The highest-scoring defenceman in the NHL this season has been the San Jose Sharks Erik Karlsson. The 32-year-old Swedish player has scored 47 assists (second most assists in the NHL) and scored 15 goals, which is the most he has scored since joining San Jose in 2018. He is also on course for a projected 26 goals, which would be the most of his career.
Karlsson is currently going through his longest cold stretch without points this season, we say this jokingly because he has only gone two games without a point. We like Karlsson’s NHL odds at +160 to see 2+ game points tonight.
The Red Wings have allowed 3.33 goals per game and the Sharks are due a solid performance sooner or later since they've only won 1 of their previous 6 NHL games, as well as the fact they were shut out 4-0 by the Bruins last time out.
When these teams met earlier in the season Karlsson ended the game with 4 points in total and he has seen at least over 1.5 points in 35% of his games this season.

Dylan Larkin (Detroit Red Wings)
- Over/Under Points
Despite us expecting goals to be scored by the San Jose Sharks tonight, that doesn’t mean we don’t expect the Detroit Red Wings to score goals themselves. The Sharks do allow 3.87 goals and Dylan Larkin has been the Red Wings' highest points scorer thus far this season having scored 41 points in 44 games.
Larkin's six-game scoring streak was ended last time out in the Red Wings' 2-1 defeat to the Philadelphia Flyers. We are very much liking his chances to score a point tonight on home ice against this Sharks team.
We could only find -200 betting odds on Larkin over 0.5 points, the juice is worth laying here, but if you can find an alternative over 1.5 line for +150 or better, we would advise playing that for half a unit.

Florida Panthers vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
Tuesday, January 24, 2023 – 07:00 PM EST at PPG Paints Arena
Evgeni Malkin (Pittsburgh Penguins)
- Over/Under Shots
The Florida Panthers travel to Pittsburgh tonight, a game we are expecting to have a lot of goals and action. It could be another defeat for the Panthers having put in a maximum effort against the New York Rangers last night whilst the Penguins had rest.
Evgeni Malkin has taken an average of 3 shots per game this season, so we don’t mind laying the -135 odds on Malkin to have over 2.5 shots in tonight’s matchup. The Panthers allow an average of 31.75 shots per game which is the sixth-highest in the NHL (the Penguins allow the seventh most).
This is a super bounce-back spot for Malkin who only registered one shot last time out having seen 3+ shots in 7 of his first 9 games in 2023. Malkin has seen over 2.5 shots in 55% of his games this season.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Arizona Coyotes
Tuesday, January 24, 2023 – 09:00 PM EST at Mullett Arena
Clayton Keller (Arizona Coyotes)
- Over/Under Shots
The Anaheim Ducks have allowed the most shots per game this season, and for our last NHL pick, we are looking to target the Coyotes' top-shot taker Clayton Keller to have over 2.5 shots in this home game at -130.
Keller might have only averaged 2.30 shots per game this season but he has been on a roll lately having had 4/4/3/4 shots in his previous four games. The Ducks allow an eye-watering 38.80 shots against per game.
