February 24th NHL Picks
Taking the above trends alongside some more in-depth handicapping, here are two picks I’m focused on for tonight’s NHL games:
Vegas’ Alex Pietrangelo OVER 1.5 shots (-106 at FanDuel)
Though Alex Pietrangelo missed the 4 Nations Face-Off for Canada, he’s actually playing pretty good puck right now. He’s logging heavy minutes for Vegas and has at least one shot in seven-straight games. In that stretch, he’s averaging two shots per game.
I expect Pietrangelo to be an even bigger part of the Golden Knights defense (and the power play) with Shea Theodore now out for weeks. He faces a Kings defense that allows just 6.72 shots per game to defenders tonight, but Pietrangelo should still be able to get OVER 1.5 as Vegas’ top D-man.

Jets’ Vlad Namestnikov OVER 0.5 assists (+180 at FanDuel)
Namestnikov has been on a heater lately, tallying seven points (six assists) in his last five games. Despite averaging just 14:58 per game of ice time on the season, he’s been over 15:55 a game in this recent five-game stretch, too. With increased opportunity and performance, he’s the perfect guy to bet on tonight.
Namestnikov also faces a Sharks team tonight that is pretty easy to tally an assist against. They allow the most goals per game in the NHL and, more specifically, the sixth-most assists per game to opposing wingers (1.9 per contest)
