James Reimer (Ottawa Senators) Under 25.5 Saves (-135)
Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing
In this home showdown for the Ottawa Senators against the Carolina Hurricanes, we're eyeing the 'Player Total Saves' market, specifically James Reimer. Now, Reimer has been a brick wall lately, especially on home ice, where he's been keeping the puck out of the net with an average of just 2.4 goals against in his last five games. Despite facing an average of 22.6 shots per game, he's been quick on his skates, making an average of only 20.2 saves. Taking it a step further, Reimer’s overall form is even more impressive, with an average of just 1.6 goals against and 15.4 saves over his last five games. He's been consistently hitting under this line, 11 games on the trot to be exact. Betting on Reimer to stay under 25.5 saves seems like a solid play, given his recent stingy form.
Ottawa Senators vs Carolina Hurricanes : Ottawa Senators +1.5 (-238)

Sunday's matchup between the Ottawa Senators and the Carolina Hurricanes offers an enticing opportunity for savvy bettors. The Senators, despite an even home and overall record of 2-3 in their last five games, have shown a combative streak when facing the Hurricanes, pulling ahead with a 3-2 record. Both teams have had a challenging time finding the net recently, with similar average goals per game. However, the Senators have an edge with a higher average of 2.2 points per home game, compared to the Hurricanes' 1.6 on the road. Plus, the Senators have been excitingly unpredictable, hitting the back of the net unexpectedly often during even-strength play. All things considered, it makes sense to back the Ottawa Senators with a 1.5 puck line. It promises to be a game of nail-biting excitement and potential windfalls on the wagering front.
Frederik Andersen (Carolina Hurricanes) Over 21.5 Saves (-130)

Roll up your sleeves, folks! We've got a compelling bet on the table. Let's talk Frederik Andersen of the Carolina Hurricanes. Now, this guy has been seeing an average of 20 shots against him in his last five games. That's a steady stream of pucks flying his way. But here's the kicker - when he's on the road, that average jumps to about 17.4. Now, considering how the Ottawa Senators have been firing on all cylinders lately, Andersen's going to have to be on his toes. The 'Canes goalie's been racking up an average of 15 saves per game while away, but I'm inclined to believe he'll outdo himself this time. We're betting that he'll make over 21.5 saves, and given this guy's resilience and the Senators' offensive aggression, it's a wager worth considering. Get ready for a night of high-intensity hockey!
