Sergei Bobrovsky (Florida Panthers) Over 21.5 Saves (-135)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The bet on Sergei Bobrovsky for over 21.5 total saves is supported by both the model's prediction and the player's recent performance. Bobrovsky's L5 overall saves average is 23, exceeding the line of 21.5, which indicates his consistent ability to make a high number of saves. Moreover, Bobrovsky's L5 overall shots against average is 25.8, which suggests that he is likely to face a similar number of shots in the upcoming game, providing ample opportunities for saves. The model's prediction of 24.24 further supports this, projecting that Bobrovsky will surpass the set line. Additionally, Bobrovsky's overall current hit streak of 3 games adds to the credibility of this bet, indicating that he is currently in form. Therefore, the combination of Bobrovsky's recent performance and the model's prediction make a compelling case for betting over 21.5 in the 'Player Total Saves' market.

Sam Bennett (Florida Panthers) Under 2.5 Shots On Goal (-169)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

The bet on Sam Bennett for under 2.5 in the 'Player Shots On Goal' market is rationalized by several factors. Firstly, the model prediction of 1.47 is significantly below the line of 2.5, suggesting that Bennett is unlikely to exceed this threshold based on his recent performance. The standard deviation of 1.37 also implies consistency in Bennett's lower shot count. In his last five home games, Bennett has averaged 1.6 shots on goal and his overall average is even lower at 1.4, both of which are under the line. Although Bennett's hit streaks and hit rates show some variability, they still consistently fall below 2.5. Considering these factors, the statistical data supports the bet for Sam Bennett to not exceed 2.5 shots on goal in this game.
