Jake Allen (New Jersey Devils) Over 23.5 Saves (-110)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The rationale for betting on Jake Allen to make over 23.5 saves in the upcoming game stems from his recent performances, particularly when playing at home. Allen's five-game home average of 25.6 saves surpasses the betting line of 23.5, indicating that he has been consistently performing at a level that would make this bet successful. Furthermore, his overall five-game average of 25.8 saves also exceeds the bet line, demonstrating a sustained performance level beyond just home games. The model predicts Allen to make around 26.3 saves, which aligns with his recent averages and further supports the bet. The higher number of shots against averages, both at home (28.4) and overall (28.2), also suggests that Allen will have multiple opportunities to make saves. Despite the recent hit streaks not being in Allen's favor, his performance data and the model's prediction provide a strong rationale for this bet.
