Igor Shesterkin (New York Rangers) Over 23.5 Saves (+100)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

The rationale for selecting Over 23.5 in the 'Player Total Saves' market for Igor Shesterkin is based on his recent performance and model predictions. Although Shesterkin's average saves at home games is slightly below the line at 22.8, his overall average of 25.2 is promising. The model's prediction for Shesterkin's total saves is 25.73, which is above the betting line. Also, the standard deviation of 7.58 indicates a wide range of possible outcomes, adding to the chance that Shesterkin could exceed the betting line. Shesterkin's hit rate in his last 8 games is more than 50%, indicating a consistent performance. Considering that Tampa Bay Lightning is a strong team, it's expected that they will be on the offensive, thus providing Shesterkin with ample opportunities to make saves. These factors suggest a favorable chance for Shesterkin to make over 23.5 saves in this game.
