Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: David Pastrnak / Over 3.5 Shots on Goal / -120 / 72% / Pastrnak averages 4.1 shots per game this season with high usage (28%) against Mammoth’s weak perimeter defense allowing 32 shots to top-line wingers.

Player Prop #3: Clayton Keller / Under 0.5 Goals / +150 / 75% / Keller scores in only 22% of road games this season, facing Boston’s elite high-danger save percentage (88%) and goaltending tandem holding opponents under 2.5 goals average.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Bruins on the moneyline, but money distribution shows divergence with pros balancing action on Mammoth’s puck line, creating value on Boston’s side where metrics align without overreaction. Sharp action via line movement against the public supports following the favorite rather than fading, as EV calculations confirm positive edges. Overall game scoring projects moderately high due to both teams’ average defensive xGA but offensive firepower, though flipped sim favors the over for contrarian value.
