He finished second in Norris Trophy voting last year and is a shoo-in to make the U.S. Olympic team in February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Werenski is leading the Blue Jackets in shots (72), shot attempts (168), and ice time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>That nets out to 3.6 shots per game and 8.4 shot attempts per game.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key stat:<\/strong> Werenski has cleared this total in seven of 10 games in November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"cacheembed:121295\">Embed: #121295<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best NHL prop picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cowan to score 1+ points (+108):<\/strong> Cowan slid back into Toronto&#8217;s lineup two games ago out of necessity, and he&#8217;s played well despite logging zero points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In both games, his forward line logged the highest Corsi rate:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nov. 15 @ CHI:<\/strong> Matthew Knies-Nicolas Roy-Cowan (81.25%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nov. 18 vs. STL:<\/strong> Bobby McMann-Max Domi-Cowan (61.11%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"acq_only\"><strong>-> <a href=\"https:\/\/online.northstarbets.ca\/page?key=ej0xMzUyNDU3MiZsPTEzNjcxODg1JnA9MzEwMjY%3D\">Bet on Blue Jackets vs. Maple Leafs at NorthStar Bets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cowan has had eight chances, five shots and 0.66 xG in those games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear who he&#8217;ll be playing with tonight, but Daily Faceoff projects him back with McMann and Domi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The London Knights product has always been a point producer, and gets a solid matchup against Columbus.
