Jacob Markstrom (New Jersey Devils) Over 21.5 Saves (-125)

The bet for Jacob Markstrom to register over 21.5 saves in the matchup against Philadelphia Flyers is backed by several key statistical insights. Over his last five games at home, Markstrom has averaged 22.8 saves, which is above the line set by the bookmaker. This trend continues when considering his overall last five performances, where he's averaged 23 saves. Furthermore, Markstrom's model prediction of 24.88 exceeds the set line significantly.
