Columbus Blue Jackets vs Colorado Avalanche: Brock Nelson Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (+250)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Brock Nelson is having a good season and is a key player for the Columbus Blue Jackets. He tends to get a lot of shots on goal, especially when his team is playing at home in Nationwide Arena. The Blue Jackets have been pretty aggressive lately, averaging nearly 24 hits per game, which shows they are getting into the action.
The bet is for Nelson to have over 2.5 shots on goal against the Colorado Avalanche. While the Avalanche are solid defensively, they have been known to give up some quality chances. The biggest risk here is that both teams are close in recent wins, so it could be a tight game. Overall, this is a solid pick for a player who knows how to find the puck.
