3:35: The Ottawa Senators are also at close odds when it comes to making (-105) or missing (-115) the playoffs. What side would you rather bet on?
6:28: Winnipeg Jets coach Scott Arniel is currently the favorite to win the Jack Adams Award at +500. Are there any other coaches that have better value to bet on right now?

11:55: Auston Matthews is still the heavy favorite to win the Rocket Richard at +125. With so many other players having stronger starts, is anyone else worth betting on?
21:34: Igor Shesterkin (+380) is the slight favorite to win the Vezina over Hellebuyck (+400), but Oettinger (+500) has had a better statistical start than both of them. Is Oettinger a smart bet right now?
