What cashed

Mikael Granlund under 2.5 shots on goal (-190 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Granlund had stayed under 2.5 shots in 9 of his last 10 and 9 of 10 games this season (1.7 per game), with 1 shot in each of his last three. - What happened: 2 shots on goal in 22:35, with 0:39 on the power play. He finished 0.5 under the line in a game with 11 goals. - Worth watching: His power-play time was light and Anaheim had only 23 shots as a team. That combination is what keeps his under in play, even on nights he logs over 22 minutes.

Jackson LaCombe 1+ points (-185 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: LaCombe had a point in 3 straight, 9 of 11 games this season and 15 of his last 20, playing 21-28 minutes a night. - What happened: Three assists: on Greer's goal at 15:52 of the 1st, Malott's at 7:06 of the 2nd and Greer's again at 12:23 of the 3rd. He added 1 shot on goal and 3 blocks in 28:47, clearing the line by 2.5. - Worth watching: 28:47 ran just past the top of the range in our read. Minutes like that keep his point line in play, and he did it without power-play points.
