Blake Coleman (Calgary Flames) Under 2.5 Shots On Goal (-196)

If you're looking to place a wager on the 'Player Shots On Goal' market in the upcoming Calgary Flames vs. Carolina Hurricanes game, then Blake Coleman is the man to watch. The Calgary winger has been notably subdued in his recent home games, averaging just 2.2 shots on goal. This dip in form has seen him hit the under in 12 out of his last 15 home appearances. Moreover, his overall performance hasn't been much better, with a mere 2 shots on goal average in his last five games and hitting the under in 14 out of his last 17 games. So, while Coleman may be a crucial cog in the Flames machine, his recent lack of firing power means betting on him to stay under 2.5 shots on goal could be a savvy move. It's a play that could make this Sunday's clash even more intriguing.
