Jake DeBrusk (Vancouver Canucks) Over 1.5 Shots On Goal (-196)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Jake DeBrusk's performance data shows a strong trend towards generating more than 1.5 shots on goal per game, especially when playing away. His last five away games show him averaging 2.6 shots per game, already higher than the line set by the bookmaker. This trend is even stronger when looking at his overall recent performances, as he averages 3.4 shots per game. The consistency of his performance is also compelling, with a hit rate of 80% in his last 20 away games and a perfect hit streak in his last 6 games overall. The model prediction of 2.75 shots on goal further reinforces this trend. The standard deviation of 1.38 suggests that while there is some variability in his performance, it's likely he will exceed the line of 1.5 shots on goal.
