Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Ilya Sorokin / Over 25.5 Saves / -115 / 72% / Islanders face Blues’ high-volume shot attack (avg 32 SOG/game), with Sorokin’s .91 save % supporting 28+ saves in 70% of recent starts.

Player Prop #3: Bo Horvat / Over 2.5 Shots on Goal / -120 / 70% / Horvat’s elevated usage (3.1 SOG avg) against Blues’ weak high-danger defense projects 3+ shots in matchup-favorable sims.
⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment leans toward the Islanders on the moneyline, but sharp money shows balance on the Blues side, creating alignment without clear reverse movement. Following the under is optimal due to converging defensive metrics and goaltender form, while fading the puck line offers value. Overall game outlook points to a low-scoring affair, with both teams’ bottom-10 xGA rates limiting explosive plays.
