David Pastrnak (Boston Bruins) Yes Anytime Goalscorer (+140)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on David Pastrnak as an 'Anytime Goalscorer' is backed by a combination of his overall performance and recent form. Pastrnak's average goal rate in his last 5 home games stands at 0.6, which is higher than his overall average of 0.4. This shows his strong performance at home, which is further indicated by his current home hit streak of 1. The model prediction of 0.48, coupled with his L5 home games shots average of 2.8, suggests that Pastrnak has a solid chance of scoring. Additionally, his hit rate in the last 6 home games is 50% (3/6), demonstrating his consistent scoring ability. Therefore, given these statistics, the bet on Pastrnak scoring in the game against the Ottawa Senators seems rational.
