Jacob Markstrom (New Jersey Devils) Over 23.5 Saves (-122)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on Jacob Markstrom for Over 23.5 in the 'Player Total Saves' market is supported by various statistical factors. Markstrom's L5 away games statistics show an average of 24.6 saves per game, which surpasses the line set by the bookmaker. Furthermore, the model predicts an average of 25.93 saves for Markstrom, again comfortably above the line. Markstrom also faces a relatively high number of shots in away games, with an average of 29 shots against per game. While his recent performance is not on a hit streak, his hit rate over the last 14 away games shows he has exceeded this line in 9 out of 14 games. Therefore, despite the implied probability being close to a coin flip, the combination of Markstrom's past saves averages, the model's prediction, and his shots against average all point towards the likelihood of him making over 23.5 saves.
