To pair with Eriksson Ek, we round out the card with Timo Meier and Lucas Raymond with both productive forwards facing off against a pair of back lines that struggle to defend the net. For more information, check out our NHL betting trends page for the latest daily game odds, insight, and data.
Joel Eriksson Ek (Wild vs. Canadiens) Goal Odds
While Kirill Kaprizov and Matt Boldy hog the spotlight, Joel Eriksson Ek has quietly played at a very high level, averaging 0.56 Expected Goals while generating 3.21 Shots on Goal per game. Their combined production has turned the Minnesota Wild into an efficient offense, rivaling the Carolina Hurricanes for first in Expected Goals For.
In a favorable matchup against the Montreal Canadiens, Eriksson Ek will be able to continue to light the lamp by picking apart a back line that ranks in the bottom ten in Expected Goals Against in All Situations. Especially with the Canadiens back up goalie Jakub Dobes struggling to wall off high quality Shots on Goal, giving up 4.04 Goals Against per game while averaging a Save Percentage of .847.
In the Power Play, Eriksson Ek has been able to take advantage of the extra space Kaprizov and Boldy provide with their gravity, leading the first unit in Expected Goals with an average of 0.16 per penalty. With the Canadiens scrambling in coverage, Eriksson Ek will be able to rifle off a higher volume of shot attempts, increasing his chances of scoring.
Timo Meier (Devils vs. Jets) Goal Odds
After finding the back of the net just once in his first 17 games of the season, Timo Meier’s aggression has finally been rewarded, scoring a pair of Goals in his last outing against Toronto. During Meier’s turbulent start to the year, the New Jersey Devils forward was productive, averaging 0.35 Expected Goals per game.
Heading into Tuesday night’s contest against the Winnipeg Jets, Meier will be able to build on his red hot momentum by attacking a back line that struggles to defend the crease per their below league average mark in Expected Goals Against From High Danger Shots. When isolated in front of the net, Stuart Skinner has been unable to ward off pressure, conceding 3.26 Goals Against per game.
When in 5-on-4 Situations, Meier takes control of the second unit, leading to an uptick in his usage rate. With the Jets incapable of keeping a body in front of the puck, Meier will be able to anchor in front of the net, improving the quality of his Shots on Goal.
Lucas Raymond (Red Wings vs. Blues) Goal Odds
With Dylan Larkin holding out, Lucas Raymond has been able to capitalize on his higher usage rate as one of the focal points of the Detroit Red Wings offense, generating over three Shots on Goal per game.
Against the St. Louis Blues, Raymond will be able to pressure the net at a higher rate by blitzing through the middle of a defense that resides in the bottom half of the board in Expected Goals Against in 5-on-5 Play. Even with Joel Hofer playing at a high level, the Red Wings versatility will force the Blues stalwart goalie to make quick cuts between the pipes, widening Raymond’s shooting lanes at multiple levels of the ice.
With Viktor Arvidsson and Alex DeBrincat joining Raymond in the Power Play, the Blues will be stretched out thin, making it easier for the Red Wings forward to convert his shot attempts into Shots on Goal while weaving the puck through fewer bodies in coverage.
