Best bet: Hamilton under 2.5 shots (-125)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamilton’s offensive numbers are down across the board this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two years removed from his 74-point campaign, Hamilton is on pace for just 50 points this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s taking fewer shots and his 4.3% shooting percentage is a career low, after back-to-back seasons with a shooting percentage of 8.0% or greater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamilton’s regression is the backbone of this pick, but the matchup plays a role, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boston still has a stifling defence that takes away time and space. Four of its six starting defencemen are 6-foot-3 or taller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key stat: <\/strong>This bet has cashed in six straight games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick pick<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ehlers over 0.5 points (-154):<\/strong> Ehlers has been humming lately, and I want in on the fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Great Dane has 13 points in his last 12 games and is averaging a point per game this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He’s also scoring on 14.0% of his shots, which is 2.2 percentage points above than his career average (11.8%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ehlers plays on the top unit of the league’s No. 1 power play, which has a 32.1% success rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Colorado’s goaltending issue has improved with the addition of Mackenzie Blackwood, it still ranks toward the bottom of the NHL at 3.1 goals allowed per game (19th).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
