I know I started this post by talking about shot totals and then showing you the game lines. But that's for the general context of this contest. Now, let's go over shot props.
Penguins vs Flyers Pick: Shot Props
In two meetings this year, Pittsburgh put 32 shots on the net while the Flyers put 33 shots on the Pens net. On average this year the Penguins are averaging 33.3 shots per game (the fourth highest rate in the league), while the Flyers rank seventh with 33.1 shots per game.
Shots fly when these teams play.
Sidney Crosby Shot Props
| Line | Odds |
|---|---|
| O2.5 SOG | -175 |
| U2.5 SOG | +135 |
Odds as of January 8
Sid "The-36-year-old" Kid's shot prop line tonight is set at 2.5 shots. A line he's hit 29 times this season and five times in his last six games against the Flyers.
Crosby is also second on the team for shots with 131 this season. An average of 3.5 per game. Pittsburgh is going to feed their captain the puck and in turn, he's going to get that puck on the net. At -175, there's decent value here with $5.71 of profit on a $10 bet.
Scott Laughton Shot Props
| Line | Odds |
|---|---|
| O1.5 SOG | -135 |
| U1.5 SOG | +105 |
Odds as of January 8
Laughton doesn't get the respect of his teammates. His 88 shots on the net rank him fifth on the team. In his last six meetings against the Penguins, Laughton has hit O1.5 shots in each game. On the season, he's hit the OVER on his shot prop 27 times.
At -135, there's great value here. A $10 bet would return $7.40 in profit.
