The Sabres appear to be getting a little healthier up front, but I still love Dahlin in this spot because the matchup is as good as it gets. That is well above his season average of 5.4, suggesting his recent success has come from more sustainable outputs rather than just getting lucky and hitting the net on a higher percentage of shots. That's led to more falling on the plate of Dahlin, who is clearly up to the task.ĭahlin has averaged a healthy 6.6 shot attempts per game during this hot streak. Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch, and Jeff Skinner have been in and out of the lineup. The Sabres have dealt with a lot of injuries to key forwards.

He's registered at least three shots in nine consecutive games, finishing with four or more in seven of them. Odds: +120 (playable to -120) Rasmus Dahlin: Over 2.5 shotsĭahlin is on a run. He will likely struggle to match those totals this time around, but there's plenty of room for him to see a dip in production and still get the job done. Hughes also had a ceiling game the last time these two sides met, generating nine shots on 15 attempts while logging more than 23 minutes in a hotly contested affair. That means Hughes will see a lot less of Selke candidate Sean Couturier than he would if the game was in Philadelphia.

The Flyers are a strong shot-suppression team, but Philadelphia doesn't control matchups on the road. Hughes will undoubtedly get all the ice he can handle and be up for the big moment as someone who embraces being the team's go-to guy. The Devils have not started the season as well as expected, but they can get themselves back into a playoff spot tonight with a big divisional win. That equates to 6.4 shots on 10.7 attempts.Įxpect another big output from Hughes against the Flyers. He has taken his shot volume to an unmatched level, recording 45 shots on goal and 75 attempts over the last seven games in New Jersey.
