Carolina Hurricanes @ Calgary Flames — model preview

Dustin Wolf (Calgary Flames) Under 28.5 Saves (-106)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

Here's the lowdown on the ice: Dustin Wolf, Calgary Flames' man between the pipes, has been unyielding in his fortress. In his last five home games, he's been facing an average of only 21.8 shots and deflecting 18.4 of them. That's a good few notches under our line of 28.5 total saves. Wolf's consistency at home is quite the spectacle too, hitting the under in all his last seven home games. The Hurricanes' offense may be all the rage, but our guy Wolf has proven time and again that he can weather storms. Taking into account his overall performance, Wolf's saves average stays under 28.5, making the under a compelling bet. So, betting enthusiasts, it's time to ride the Wolf's wave and bank on his unwavering home game performance. Buckle up for a game where defense reigns supreme. Trust the trends and let's go for the under.
