Patrik Laine’s Second Game Back
The big news surrounding Columbus this week was the return of winger Patrik Laine, who played in his first game since Nov. 12 on Friday night after missing seven games with an ankle injury. Laine did not miss a beat in his return, scoring two goals against his former team. Serving as the primary triggerman on the first power play and skating alongside an elite playmaker in Johnny Gaudreau, Laine will have plenty of opportunities to score in back-to-back games.
Alex Nedeljkovic is slated to start between the pipes for Detroit, and he is having yet another poor season since joining the Red Wings. Through eight appearances in the crease this year, Nedeljkovic is 2-3-2 with a .880 save percentage and 3.96 goals against average (GAA).He has now allowed four or more goals in five of his last six starts, posting a mere .868 save percentage over that stretch. If he qualified, Nedeljkovic would rank second-to-last in goals saved above expected per 60 minutes at five-on-five.
In a matchup that should be high paced and high scoring, Laine is in a great spot to continue to thrive.

Back the Islanders Offense
The Blackhawks have been bleeding goals defensively, allowing five or more in six of their last eight games. At five-on-five this season, Chicago ranks fourth-to-last in the league in expected goals against per 60 minutes (xGA/60). Behind this lackluster lineup is goaltender Arvid Soderblom, who allowed one goal on just six shots for a .833 save percentage in relief last night against the New York Rangers. Through 10 appearances between the pipes this season, he is 2-5-2 with a .904 save percentage and 3.23 GAA.
The line is short on the Islanders to score four or more goals because they do not have the strongest offense in the league. However, any team can put up four on Chicago, and this game should be no different.
Best NHL Parlay Bet: Islanders Team Total Over 3.5 (-130)
