SUBSCRIBERS

Colorado Avalanche vs Pittsburgh Penguins: Rickard Rakell Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (+125)

Odds correct at time of publishing

Rickard Rakell has been showing some good form lately, and he's been getting plenty of chances to shoot. The Colorado Avalanche have won four of their last ten games, so they're not invincible at home, but they can struggle to contain players who are on a roll. This matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins could see a lot of action, especially since both teams have plenty of left and right shooters. Betting on Rakell to have over 2.5 shots on goal seems like a solid choice here. The odds are decent, and with both teams playing closely right now, he should get his opportunities. The biggest worry is that both teams are evenly matched, which might limit scoring chances. Still, if he finds his rhythm, he could easily surpass that mark.
