John Gibson (Detroit Red Wings) Over 21.5 Saves (-125)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

John Gibson has been consistently facing a high volume of shots, with an average of 23 shots against him in his last five home games. Despite the high number of shots, his save average has been slightly lower, at 18.8. However, the model predicts a save count of 24.19 in the upcoming game, which is significantly higher than Gibson's recent performance. This prediction could be due to a combination of factors, such as the upcoming opponent's offensive tendencies or Gibson's improved performance in practice. Furthermore, the high standard deviation of 7.68 in the model prediction indicates a high degree of variability in Gibson's performance. This suggests that there is a considerable chance that Gibson could exceed his recent save averages in the upcoming game. Therefore, betting on John Gibson for over 21.5 saves seems to be statistically justified.
