Macklin Celebrini (San Jose Sharks) Yes Anytime Goalscorer (+115)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Tuesday night's NHL clash between the San Jose Sharks and the Chicago Blackhawks at the Shark Tank promises to be an exciting one. One name to keep an eye on is the Sharks' red-hot Macklin Celebrini. Lately, Celebrini has been a story of consistency in front of goal. Over the last five home games, he's averaged 0.6 goals per game, with an impressive 5.8 shots on average. In fact, in 3 of his last 4 home appearances, Celebrini has found the back of the net. Even when we pan out to his overall performance, the numbers remain compelling, with Celebrini lighting the lamp in 5 of his last 8 games. Given his potent form, I'd confidently bet on Celebrini to continue his scoring run against the Blackhawks. So, if you're looking for a slice of the action, a 'Yes' in the 'Anytime Goalscorer' market for Celebrini is a solid pick.
