Logan Stankoven (Carolina Hurricanes) Under 2.5 Shots On Goal (-189)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Logan Stankoven's been having a bit of a dry spell with the puck on foreign ice lately, hasn't he? Over his last five away games, he's averaged a slim 1.2 shots on target, matching his overall performance in recent games. Although he's been consistent, it's clear that he's struggling to get shots off. Now, he's up against the Chicago Blackhawks, a team known for keeping the offensive pressure in their zone. Given these factors, I'd say our bet here is for Stankoven to land under 2.5 shots on goal during the game.
Consider this: Stankoven’s away games hit streak is at 3. He’s hit the mark in all his last three away games, which suggests a pattern. While we love a player on a streak, in this case, it's a ticket to bet the under on Stankoven's shots in the upcoming game.
Spencer Knight (Chicago Blackhawks) Under 29.5 Saves (-130)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
Ah, Spencer Knight, a name that's been doing rounds in the NHL scene for a while now. He's back home at the Madhouse on Madison when the Chicago Blackhawks face off against the Carolina Hurricanes. Now, I love home ice advantage as much as the next guy, but let's look at Knight's track record. In his last five home games, he's averaging 25.8 saves, well under our line of 29.5. The Hurricanes, not exactly a team of shot-happy forwards, are unlikely to bump that number up, especially considering Knight's average of 29.2 shots against over the same period. Add to this Knight's rather impressive 15 out of 19 record of staying under the line at home, and you've got a pretty solid case for betting on under 29.5 in the 'Player Total Saves' market.
