-105at BetOnline

jenner has had 2 or more shots on goal in 9 of his last 10 and 12 of his last 20, and in all 5 games this season, averaging 3.2 a night, 93rd percentile among 432 forwards.

carolina is the hard part, they allow 18.0 shots a game to forwards against a 20.1 league average, 8th percentile, but 1.5 is a short ask for a forward who averaged 1.97 shots a game last year over 67 games and is at 3.2 now with about 16 minutes a night.

This one was on the Lab's card for Tuesday, which took the best five lines across the whole slate. See how the card settled.

The reads behind them

Form here is 60% of a player's last ten games and 40% of his season rate, last season's until this one has enough games behind it, weighed against the best price a reader can take, with the vig still in it, and against what the matchup says. NHL props on this site are read on form and the matchup, and the price is taken as the books post it, vig included, which is the stricter test. A prop only appears when at least two books quote it and the matchup backs it as well as the form does, and these are separate from the card play above.
