Anton Forsberg (Los Angeles Kings) Under 27.5 Saves (-120)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

If you're craving some NHL action this Sunday, consider this: Los Angeles Kings' goalie Anton Forsberg is on the chopping block for under 27.5 in the 'Player Total Saves' market. Forsberg's been in the trenches during away games, allowing an average of 3.6 goals while making 23 saves. That's some 4.5 saves shy of our mark. Looking at his performance overall, he's been stopping 25.4 shots on average. Still not quite there, eh? Now, the Kings' defense hasn't been doing him any favors either, allowing an average of 26.6 shots against him during away games. With Forsberg's recent trends showing an under hit rate of 12 out of 18 on the road, this pick is as much a bet on the Kings' porous defense as it is on Forsberg's performance. So let's let the numbers do the talking and watch the pucks roll in... or not in Fors
