The pick — Rasmus Andersson OVER 0.5 Points (+100, BetMGM)

Saturday (and the Utah Hockey Club) treated me well. Since they’re not playing Tuesday, I need to look elsewhere for a compelling matchup.

Now, I know what you’re thinking. Chicago and Calgary may not move the needle for you. But it’s Connor Bedard. And the Flames are off to a 3-0 start after beating Edmonton 4-1 on Sunday. Also, they lead the NHL in goals per game at 5.33 and can beat you in a lot of ways right now.

One of those ways is Rasmus Andersson. He’s currently tied for the league lead in points by a defenseman with five along with Cale Makar and Shea Theodore. That’s elite company to be in so early in the season.

BetAlytics has this prop as a high-value play because Calgary spreads out its scoring more than any team so far. Andersson finding the score sheet either with a goal or an assist is likely.

Season record: 4-2, +3.85 units
