Matty Beniers (Seattle Kraken) Over 1.5 Shots On Goal (-182)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Matty Beniers's recent performance indicates a strong potential for this bet. The model predicts 2.68 shots on goal, which is well over the 1.5 line set by the bookmaker. This prediction is reinforced by Beniers's L5 overall shots average, which is 2.6. Even though his L5 away games shots average is lower at 1 shot per game, his current overall hit streak of 2 games and a high hit rate of 5 out of his last 6 games suggest that he is on a productive streak. While his performance on away games is a factor to consider, his recent overall performance and the model's prediction provide compelling reasons to bet on Beniers achieving over 1.5 shots on goal in the upcoming game against the New York Rangers.
