The final week of the NHL regular season is upon us, and with it comes an exciting slate of 10 games. Among the players to watch are Mark Scheifele, Adam Fox, and Connor McDavid, each poised for strong performances tonight.
Mark Scheifele has been a consistent contributor for the Winnipeg Jets this season, amassing 34 goals and 65 assists, placing him 10th in the NHL. He has shown a knack for setting up teammates, having cashed the Over on assists in three of his last four games. As the Jets prepare to face the Vegas Golden Knights, the 33-year-old has already registered two assists in two previous meetings against them and boasts an impressive 28 assists in 39 road games this season.
Adam Fox, regarded as one of the premier playmaking defensemen in the league, has tallied 43 assists this season. He has also hit the Over on assists in three of his last four outings, including two performances where he recorded more than one assist. As a key member of the New York Rangers’ top defensive pairing and part of the power play unit alongside prolific scorers like Mika Zibanejad and Vincent Trocheck, Fox is in a prime position to create scoring opportunities. The Rangers will face the Florida Panthers, a team struggling defensively, ranking 28th in goals allowed, and Fox has already notched an assist against them this season.
In a surprising turn, Connor McDavid found himself without a shot on goal and no points in a 1-0 loss to the Kings on Saturday. However, the three-time Hart Trophy winner is expected to rebound strongly against the Colorado Avalanche tonight. With 47 goals this season, McDavid ranks third in the NHL and has found the net in two of his last three games, including a hat trick against the Sharks. Despite a challenging matchup, he has scored twice against the Avalanche in their previous encounters and has recorded nine shots on goal in those games, indicating that opportunities will be plentiful.
