Tonight’s Featured Projections

1. Leon Draisaitl (Edmonton Oilers) @ Anaheim Ducks

Selection: 0.5 Goals
The Play: OVER
The Logic: Draisaitl has been the engine of the Oilers’ offense this series, racking up 7 points in 5 games. He scored twice in Game 5 to force this trip back to Anaheim. Known as one of the best playoff performers in NHL history, Draisaitl thrives in elimination games. With the Ducks’ young defense struggling to contain the Oilers’ top power-play unit, look for Leon to find the back of the net tonight.

2. Connor McDavid (Edmonton Oilers) @ Anaheim Ducks

Selection: 0.5 Goals
The Play: OVER
The Logic: McDavid was a game-time decision for Game 5 with an ankle injury but looked elite, recording two primary assists. He has only 1 goal so far this postseason, which means he is due for a breakthrough. McDavid’s speed is a nightmare for the Ducks’ blueline, and with the season on the line in Game 6, expect the Captain to take matters into his own hands and score.

3. Jason Robertson (Dallas Stars) @ Minnesota Wild

Selection: 2.5 Points
The Play: OVER
The Logic: “Robo” has been on a tear, extending his playoff point streak to four games. He already has 5 points in this series and finished the regular season with 96 points. The Wild are playing desperate hockey at home, which often leads to defensive lapses and penalty trouble. Robertson is the focal point of the Stars’ power play; if Dallas scores 4 or more tonight, Robertson will likely be involved in at least 3 of them.
