FORWARDERS
Max DomiCHI (vs ANA) – Domi will try to get at least one point in a seventh straight game, a sequence during which he impressed with 12 points (four goals, eight assists). The small forward manages to produce even if he does not evolve with stars on the first line of the Chicago Blackhawks – Philip Kurashev et Andreas Athanasiou – while Patrick Kane is left out for “reasons relating to the management of training”. The key to Domi’s success is that he shoots the opposing net. In his last game Saturday, he scored 1-on-8 against the San Jose Sharks in a 4-3 shootout win and had 21 shots in his six-game point streak. Domi is second on the Blackhawks in shots (135) this season.

Jake DeBruskBOS (vs EDM) – DeBrusk has not been cleared from the scoresheet since returning to action Feb. 18 after missing more than a month of action with a lower-body injury. In four games, the 26-year-old is tied with To David Pastr first among the Boston Bruins in goals (3) and second in points (5), still tied with Pastrnak. DeBrusk has also taken 17 shots, including five or more in two of his last three meetings. Bet he will manage to blacken the score sheet in the fifth straight game since his return against the Edmonton Oilers who allowed six goals to the Columbus Blue Jackets in a 6-5 loss on Saturday.

GUARDIAN
Jake OettingerDAL (vs VAN) – Oettinger rebounded with a 41-save performance in a 3-2 shootout win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday after failing to secure a win in three outings (0-1-2). The Dallas Stars will face the Vancouver Canucks on Monday, who have lost five of their last seven games (2-4-1) and who will also be without the forward JT Miller. The latter is re-evaluated on a weekly basis due to a lower body injury.
