Top 3 Player Props

Player Prop #1: Travis Konecny / Over Shots on Goal / 3.5 at -115 / 65% / Konecny averages 3.8 SOG per game this season with high usage (22%) against Ducks’ weak high-danger defense allowing 12.5 shots/60; recent form shows 4+ in 7 of last 10 home games.

Player Prop #2: Trevor Zegras / Under Points / 0.5 at -130 / 62% / Zegras held to under 0.5 points in 6 of 8 road games vs. top-10 defenses like Flyers (xGA/60 2.85); Ducks’ PP at 19% limits scoring chances in even matchups.

Player Prop #3: Samuel Ersson / Over Saves / 25.5 at -110 / 58% / Ersson faces Ducks’ 31 shots/60 average on road; Flyers’ home games see goalies hit 26+ saves in 70% of low-total spots, supported by Ducks’ Corsi push but regression to mean.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors the Flyers at 65%, but divergent money distribution (55% on Ducks) signals sharp resistance, creating value on Philadelphia’s spread amid reverse line movement. Follow the math on home favorite without fading public outright, as contextual factors like Flyers’ rest advantage align. Overall game outlook points to a low-scoring affair under 5.5, with both defenses solid (combined xGA/60 5.9) and minimal high-danger chances projected.
