Sebastian Aho Over 0.5 Goals

widget-props-nhl-5182-1935813

Aho has been a key player for the Hurricanes, scoring 17 goals this season. He also scored the game-winner in their last matchup against the Blackhawks. With Chicago's defensive struggles, Aho is a strong candidate to find the back of the net again.

Andrei Svechnikov Over 2.5 Shots on Goal

widget-props-nhl-5182-1937181

Svechnikov has been active offensively, averaging 3.4 shots per game over his last 10 outings. Against a Blackhawks team that allows a high volume of shots, Svechnikov should have plenty of opportunities to surpass this mark.

Connor Bedard Over 0.5 Assists

Bedard has been a bright spot for the Blackhawks, tallying 30 assists this season. As Chicago's primary playmaker, he is likely to set up scoring chances, even against a tough Hurricanes defense.
