Brandon Bussi (Carolina Hurricanes) Over 20.5 Saves (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

A trip to Toronto for the Carolina Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi is promising a night of fast-paced action. The Leafs are known for their relentless offense, which brings Bussi's remarkable resilience into focus. His average of 23 saves in his last five away games shows that when the pressure mounts, Bussi doesn't crack - he thrives. Considering the Leafs' aggressive offensive style, we can reasonably predict that Bussi's saves will hover around his away game average, if not exceed it. Even with an overall average of 20.2 saves, Bussi's performance on away ice is something to behold. He's hit over 20.5 saves in 6 of his last 9 away games - a trend that's likely to continue against Toronto. So when the puck drops this Friday, keep an eye on Brandon Bussi. He's got a knack for stepping up when the game's on the line.
