Players To Watch
Jonathan Lekkerimäki — Vancouver Canucks
Box Score Junkie has Lekkerimäki at 47.2% Corsi-for through 186 minutes this season, so the underlying play is modest, but the finishing isn’t: four goals on 2.4 expected, a plus-1.6 cushion. His 51.5 shot attempts per 60 lead Vancouver’s listed forwards, making him the team’s likeliest source of a shot-on-goal prop cash.
Beckett Sennecke — Anaheim Ducks
Sennecke scored in his last outing on two shots and keeps driving play. Box Score Junkie’s 2026-27 numbers give him a 56.5% Corsi-for and 57.2% Fenwick across 228 minutes, with 64.3 attempts for per 60 and six goals on 4.9 expected. Territory and finishing both pointing the same way.
