NHL bets: Pointing to a pair of home teams for props tonight

We're drawn a bit more to the goals side of things this evening in the NHL, and a few of these Eastern Conference clashes in particular should offer us the scoring we need to cash some bets. I've loaded up 1u on each of these plays; let's have us some winners!

Max Domi point (+110 DraftKings)

In a game I expect a decent chunk of scoring on both ends, I'm drawn to the price on Max Domi here on Toronto's top line.

+110 for a guy who skates alongside Auston Matthews seems like a deal I have to take. Domi has seven points in his last seven games and a point in three of his last four on home ice.

Against Tampa Bay, Domi has a point in three straight meetings, including three points in two games this year with Toronto.

My draw to the Leafs scoring certainly stems from their 4.2 goals per game average on home ice over the last month and a half. It's pushed over the edge when you just look at how these two tend to match up with each other when they play. 

We have a lot of data in that regard thanks to back-to-back postseason meetings: 21 total matchups in the last three seasons. 16 of those 21 games saw 7+ goals scored. I expect a similar type of pace this evening.

Mika Zibanejad & Chris Kreider 1+ point each (+124 DK)

The Rangers should find some goals tonight hosting the Devils, who just played last night. New Jersey is allowing 3.4 goals per game on the road over the last 45 days, and they've given up 3.92 goals per game on back-to-backs this season.

New York has also won all three meetings already this season, piling up 13 goals in the process. I just don't see that changing here tonight.

I'm rolling with a combo of Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider from the Rangers' top line, as New Jersey has been quite loose to production from opposing top lines of late.

Zibanejad has six points in his last six home games and eight points the past seven times the Devils have come to town. Kreider has been oddly quiet on home ice, going five straight games without a point. That to me screams of being due, and considering he has a point in seven straight home games against New Jersey (11 total), count me in for tonight.
