New York Rangers vs Los Angeles Kings: Darcy Kuemper Over 24.5 Saves (+188)
Odds correct at time of publishing
Darcy Kuemper has been busy in goal for the Los Angeles Kings, and the team has struggled lately, winning only 2 of their last 10 games. On the other hand, the New York Rangers have been more solid, winning 5 of their last 10. The Rangers also tend to put a lot of pressure on opposing goalies, averaging over 26 hits per game, which means Kuemper is likely to see plenty of shots coming his way.
With the Rangers' strong offensive play, I like the bet for Kuemper to make over 24.5 saves. The Kings are facing a tough matchup at Madison Square Garden, and he might be tested more than usual. The risk is that if the Kings' defense tightens up, he may not face as many shots, but given how the Rangers play, he should still get his chances.
