Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Betting on David Pastrnak to score anytime in this game is a strong choice based on his recent performance and the predictive model's insights. Despite being on a current hit streak of zero for away games, Pastrnak has a substantial average of 4.2 shots per game in his last 5 away games. This indicates that he's frequently in a position to score and create opportunities. His recent average of 0.4 goals in his last five overall and last five away games demonstrates his capability to convert these opportunities into goals. Furthermore, his hit rate of 5 out of 11 in his last away games signals his consistent scoring pattern. The model prediction of 0.49, although it denotes variance, still leans towards a positive outcome. This, combined with his performance data, makes a strong case for betting on Pastrnak to score at any time during this game.

This bet is based on Viktor Arvidsson's strong performance in recent games, particularly in away games. Arvidsson's shots on goal have consistently exceeded 1.5 in his last five away games, averaging at 3.8 shots per game. He has also maintained a hit streak of 2 in away games and 4 overall.

Additionally, the model prediction of 2.76 is comfortably over the bet line of 1.5, and despite its standard deviation of 1.39, it still stays above the line. This data-driven insight, coupled with Arvidsson's streaks and high hit rates, make this bet a statistically sound choice.
