What cashed

Lucas Raymond 2+ shots on goal (-250 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Raymond had 2+ shots in 14 of 15 games and 9 of his last 10, averaging 2.8, with Dylan Larkin on IR. We also noted Detroit was on the second night of a back-to-back. - What happened: Raymond finished with 1 goal, 5 shots on goal and 19:32 of ice time, including 4:51 on the power play. That is 3.5 shots over the line. His first shot came at 6:40 of the 2nd, and his second was his goal at 10:23 of the 2nd, a snap shot set up by Compher that cut the lead to 3-1. He added two more in the 2nd and one in the 3rd. - Worth watching: With Larkin out, Raymond is getting real power-play time, and the shot volume has followed. At -250 the price is steep, so this one works best as a parlay leg or at a better number.

Alex DeBrincat 3+ shots on goal (-190 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: DeBrincat had 3+ shots in 8 of his last 10 games, averaging 3.7, and in 12 of 15 this season. We also liked the matchup because Tampa Bay's last 10 games had all gone over 4.5 goals. - What happened: DeBrincat put 4 shots on goal in 22:55 of ice time, with 5:00 on the power play. That is 1.5 shots over the line. He had one shot in the 1st and one in the 2nd, then cleared the line with his third at 10:57 of the 3rd and added a fourth at 11:51. This game went over 4.5 goals again, with 6 scored. - Worth watching: Five minutes of power-play time and nearly 23 minutes overall is a heavy role for a shooter. The 3+ line has been a steady angle for him, and half of his shots here came in the 3rd while Detroit was chasing.
