Edmonton Oilers vs Vancouver Canucks: Connor Murphy Over 1.5 Blocked Shots (-105)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Connor Murphy has a good chance to block over 1.5 shots in this game. The Edmonton Oilers have been solid lately, winning 6 out of their last 10 games, and they are playing at home, which always helps. They average around 13.4 blocked shots per game, which is pretty close to the league's average. The Vancouver Canucks, on the other hand, have struggled, winning just 1 of their last 10 games.
The biggest risk here is that both teams are evenly matched in their shot-blocking abilities, so it's tough to predict exactly how many shots will get through. Still, Murphy has shown he can step up, and with the way the Oilers are playing, there's a good chance he can hit that mark tonight.
