Jet Greaves (Columbus Blue Jackets) Over 23.5 Saves (-106)

Let's talk about Jet Greaves, our man between the pipes for the Blue Jackets. He's been maintaining a healthy average of 28 saves in his last five home games, well above the over/under line of 23.5. And trust me, the Jets are no slouches when it comes to peppering the net, pushing the stats to project Greaves facing around 31 shots. With his current form, he's more than likely to gobble up most of them. Add to that his impressive hit streak of 2 straight home games and 5 out of the last 6 where he's made more than 23.5 saves. Clearly, the lad's on fire. Sure, he's conceded 3.2 goals on average at home recently, but let's flip the coin - more shots on goal equals more save opportunities. So, placing your bet on Greaves for over 23.5 saves seems like a puck well-played.
