Canucks vs. Oilers Preview
Action PRO projects Oilers left wing Zach Hyman for 3.3 shots on goal in their matchup against the Canucks tonight, giving us a solid 10.8% edge against the market when compared to his current prop line of over/under 2.5, which is good enough to mark the Over with a B grade in our system.
He has 2.77 SOG per game this season, and that average increases to 3.13 in Edmonton, which is where the game will take place tonight.
Hyman will face a Vancouver team that is dead last in goals allowed per game with 3.8 this season, while Edmonton is sixth in goals scored per game with 3.41, so we can expect a one-sided affair.
In March, Hyman had four games with three or more shots on goal, and this matchup against the last-place Canucks bodes well for this prop.
Let's back him tonight to go over his SOG line against Vancouver.
Best Bet: Zach Hyman Over 2.5 Shots on Goal (-115, BetMGM)
