An Original Six showdown between the New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens highlights Sunday’s small NHL slate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pregame narrative:<\/strong> Cole Caufield is coming off a ridiculous shooting performance and I expect him to keep that energy up on Sunday. Additionally, I’m taking the over on Mike Matheson’s shot total while fading Chris Kreider’s points prop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out my Rangers vs. Canadiens prop picks for Jan. 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rangers vs. Canadiens prop picks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: Caufield over 3.5 shots on goal (+130)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caufield didn’t score a goal in Montreal’s 7-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, but it wasn’t for a lack of trying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadiens winger totaled 10 shots in the losing effort. It was the first double-digit shot effort of his career and tied for the seventh-most shots in a single game this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday’s matchup presents another excellent opportunity for Caufield to rack up the shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Habs battle a New York team struggling to keep opposing teams’ shot totals down. The Rangers are allowing the third-most shots against per game (31.1) this campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plus-money odds attached to this wager are what pique my interest. Caufield has cashed this prop in five of his last 10 outings, giving us a little value with the over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect him to pepper the Rangers, who are playing their second game in as many nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat:<\/strong> Caufield is averaging 4.5 shots per game across eight games in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kreider to not score 1+ points (-130):<\/strong> Kreider is heating up but there’s good reason to fade him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winger has four points in his last six games, but his season-long totals show there’s reason to bet against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kreider has 16 points \u2014 14 goals \u2014 across 37 games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has failed to register a point in 23 games this campaign, cashing this wager in 62% of his outings. That’s significantly higher than the 56.52% implied odds suggest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canadiens have been a difficult matchup for Kreider this year. He has zero points in two contests against them this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
