The Ottawa Senators are in a playoff race in the Eastern Conference while the Chicago Blackhawks will try to spoil the party at home on Wednesday. The Senators haven’t been playing their best hockey lately, but this matchup in Chicago against a 'Hawks team that gives up plenty of chances couldn’t come at a better time. Brady Tkachuk continues to lead by example for the Senators, and his style of play is what the team will need to get back on track. Tkachuk has found the back of the net three times over the last five games. Tkachuk can put together a statement and record a multi-point outing on Wednesday.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Vegas Golden Knights

Matthew Knies to Record 2+ Shots on Goal (+110)

The Toronto Maple Leafs visit the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday night. The Leafs come in playing some good hockey, posting a 5-0-1 record over their last six games. A big reason that the Maple Leafs have been finding success out of the break revolves around their depth scoring, which takes some of the load off their stars up front. Matthew Knies has been very strong in his second year in the NHL, tallying 24 goals in 57 games. Knies has found another offensive gear of late, which has seen him record three or more shots on goal in each of his last two games. We’ll happily ride on that trend to continue in this matchup.
