We picked up a pair of plus-money winners on Tuesday, a welcome addition to our NHL betting lives. Now, Wednesday brings with it Game 2 in Florida and the start of a fresh series out West. Let’s touch ’em both with two fresh looks for tonight’s playoff action.\"NHL<\/p>\n

Jeremy Swayman over 30.5 saves (-110 DraftKings)<\/h2>\n

I’ll level with you all, I was extremely angry with myself for how I played those Florida SOG props in Game 1. I should have played all three of Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Reinhart and Carter Verhaeghe straight at 4+ and 5+ shots, rather than tie together their fates in some parlays.<\/p>\n

The shots taken off of Verhaeghe’s stat sheet had me wildly frustrated, and while I am very likely still going back to those guys, we need to be backing the man who is going to face the onslaught ahead.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Swayman has been simply phenomenal this postseason, and he stopped 38 of 39 shots on Monday. With Florida down 0-1 this series, I expect once again for the Panthers to pummel the puck on net.<\/p>\n

Sign me up for the Swayman train today. He is locked in between the pipes.<\/p>\n

Elias Pettersson over 2.5 SOG (+150 DraftKings)<\/h2>\n

Note: Pettersson missed Tuesday practice with illness. TBD if he can play. This would void if he can’t go.<\/em><\/p>\n

I think this series should be a bit more open than what we saw from Vancouver in Round One, mostly due to the pace that Edmonton tends to play at. It’s for that reason I hopped into some Canucks trends to see if anyone stood out for shots, and Elias Pettersson is an intriguing name worth a mention.<\/p>\n

Pettersson definitely had a rough opening-round series against Nashville, logging just three assists and failing to exceed 2.5 shots in five of six. The hope here is two-fold. One: he can mostly avoid skating against Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, and two: he can continue to find some ideal volume that should conceivably translate to better prop success.<\/p>\n

In three home games last round, the second-line center piled up 20 shot attempts. That’s some volume I can get behind, and then I see his history against the Oilers, and here I am locking in a juicy +150 prop.<\/p>\n

Pettersson has 3+ shots in 10 of his past 12 against Edmonton, including six straight at home.<\/p>\n

Based on his volume when facing the Oilers and his attempts at home last round, I’m projecting Pettersson to get off 5+ attempts tonight. When he hits that number, he’s over 2.5 shots in 70% of his games over the past two seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
