Carolina Hurricanes vs New York Rangers : New York Rangers +1.5 (-161)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on New York Rangers +1.5 in the 'Puck Line' market is largely based on the team's strong recent performance, particularly in away games. Over their last five away games, the Rangers have an undefeated record and have outscored their opponents, averaging 3.4 goals per game compared to 2.4 goals against. Despite a less favorable record against the Hurricanes, the Rangers' strong away performance and their ability to score consistently, especially with an average of 1 power play goal per game, indicates their potential to cover the +1.5 line. On the other hand, the Hurricanes have been conceding an average of 3.2 goals in their last five home games, which further supports the possibility of the Rangers covering the puck line. This bet capitalizes on the Rangers' solid record and scoring ability in recent away games.

Igor Shesterkin (New York Rangers) Under 27.5 Saves (-120)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The rationale for betting under 27.5 on Igor Shesterkin's total saves is based on his recent performance data and model predictions. Specifically, Shesterkin's last five away games show an average of 24.4 saves, which is below the bet line of 27.5. Furthermore, the model prediction for Shesterkin's saves is 25.75, also under the betting line. His shots against average in the last five away games is 27, suggesting he is unlikely to face enough shots to exceed the line. Additionally, his current hit streak for away games is zero. Despite a hit rate of 6/9 in the last nine away games, these are historical figures and the recent performance data and model predictions suggest a lower save count in the upcoming game. Therefore, the statistical data supports the under 27.5 bet for Shesterkin's total saves.
