Sabres vs. Bruins Preview
Action PRO projects Sabres defenseman Rasmus Dahlin for 2.4 shots on goal in tonight's matchup against the Bruins, giving us a solid 13.8% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 2.5, which is good enough to mark the Under with a B+ grade in our system.
This series has produced a lot of shots, and Dahlin saw his SOG average go up in the playoffs.
However, his 2.51 regular-season average is based on a larger sample size, and the game is in Boston, where he recorded five shots combined in Games 3 and 4.
Dahlin was under this line in four of the last six regular-season contests, and including playoffs, he's 6-of-11.
At great value and on a tight and crucial game on the road, let's fade him on his SOG line against Boston.
Best Bet: Rasmus Dahlin Under 2.5 Shots on Goal (+130, BetMGM)
