Scott Wedgewood (Colorado Avalanche) Over 20.5 Saves (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

Scott Wedgewood has been a paragon of consistency for the Colorado Avalanche, especially on home ice. With an average of 16.6 saves in his last five home games, he's proven his mettle against a barrage of shots. The Seattle Kraken, known for their relentless offense, are likely to test Wedgewood to his limits. But let's not forget, Wedgewood has been turning away the puck with an overall average of 19.4 saves per game. Now, you might be wondering about the Over 20.5 bet. Consider this: Wedgewood's hit streak may be at zero for home games, but his overall current hit streak stands at one, indicating a potential upswing. Plus, a hit rate of 12 in the last 19 games suggests he's more than capable of stepping up when it matters. So, is Wedgewood set for a night of over 20.5 saves against the Kraken? The data certainly suggests
