Same Game Parlay Leg 1: UNDER 6.5 Goals
Since 2018, Oettinger has averaged a 0.918SV% and 2.45GAA in the playoffs. Outstanding numbers. Now consider his 0.963SV% and 1.00GAA in his last two games in Colorado. He's unstoppable in this situation.
And now add that Colorado is without the services of leading scorer Nichushkin. Avs can't score much without him, and they're facing an elite goalie in an elite form.
Oh, we also have to consider Colorado is 6-4 against the UNDER in elimination games since the 2018 playoffs and that Dallas is 8-4 against the UNDER in series-clinching games since the 2019 playoffs.
Same Game Parlay Leg 2: Heiskanen O0.5 Assists
On an 11-game playoff point streak against Colorado, Heiskanen has been playing some of his best playoff hockey this series. Notably, 11 of those 16 points were assists, including last outing’s two apple performances. Now, he’s fresh off his best performance of this postseason by pocketing three points in the commanding 5-1 win. Bank on Heiskanen to keep dishing out the puck for prime scoring opportunities.
Same Game Parlay Leg 3: MacKinnon U4.5 SOG
Of the six times whenever on the brink of elimination in his playoff career, MacKinnon has only earned OVER 4.5 shots on one occasion, which was last season’s nine-shot effort in Game 7 against Seattle.
This postseason, the 28-year-old is averaging 4.2 shots per game. However, that is a tad inflated courtesy of the last series where MacKinnon had an eight and seven-shot night. In this series, he has yet to navigate the Dallas defense well enough to earn over four shots.
Same Game Parlay Leg 4: Wyatt Johnston Anytime Goal
Eleven playoff games, seven goals and eleven points. He's also notched two game-winners (the most on the team). The 21-year-old has been a force through these playoffs.
It may not last too long, but Johnston is converting shots to goals at a ridiculous 18% clip through the postseason (he also leads the team in shots with 39). And so far, it seems like the Avs are content to keep putting Georgiev and his horrific .879SV% and 3.17GAA in the net.
An 18% conversion, leads the team in shots, facing a goalie who's only stopping 88% of the sthos he faces? Sign me up!
