New York Rangers vs Boston Bruins Prediction & Picks

Igor Shesterkin (New York Rangers) Over 23.5 Saves (-110)

The betting rationale for Igor Shesterkin making over 23.5 saves in the upcoming game is underpinned by his recent performance data. Shesterkin's last five away games show a strong average of 29.4 saves, significantly above the bet line. Furthermore, his hit rate for the last five away games is 4 out of 5, further suggesting his ability to consistently perform above the set line. This ability is also reflected in the model's prediction of 25.3 saves for the coming game, which exceeds the line. The model’s standard deviation of 7.6 also indicates a reasonable level of variability, suggesting that Shesterkin's performance can surpass the line. Moreover, the relatively high number of shots against Shesterkin, averaging 32 in the last five away games, provides ample opportunities for saves. Therefore, the data indicates a strong likelihood of Shesterkin making more than 23.5 saves in the upcoming game.
