Nashville Predators vs New York Islanders: Semyon Varlamov Under 24.5 Saves (-110)
Odds correct at time of publishing
The Nashville Predators are tough on defense, blocking about 15.5 shots per game, which is higher than the league average. This means they don't often let pucks get to the goalie, Semyon Varlamov, who is expected to be in net for the New York Islanders. Plus, the Predators have been landing plenty of hits, making it harder for the Islanders to get good scoring chances.
With Varlamov facing a strong defensive team, betting on him to have under 24.5 saves makes sense. The Predators have won 4 out of their last 10 games, showing they can keep opponents from shooting a lot. The biggest risk here is that both teams are closely matched, so if the Islanders find their rhythm, Varlamov could face more shots than expected.
