Williams Saad breaks down his best NHL bets and player props for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Avalanche and Lightning.
The reason that is significant is because he has had nineteen games this season with 12 or more shots, he has had five or more in every single one, and six or more in seventeen of those nineteen games. Not only did he go over, he finished with two points on four less minutes, The biggest difference between games 3 and 4 is that in game 3 he had 5.2 power play minutes, in game 4 it was only 2.9, I think it is more likely the ladder goes up than the primary. While this is a new series, I think that one miss should not move us away from the trend, especially one miss with the odd circumstances of lots of minutes, with minimal power play minutes. He has only covered this line in three of the five games this series, those games being games 1, 3 and 5. What makes it even more convincing is that while he averages more shot attempts at home, his shot-on-goal to shot attempts ratio is higher away from home. Outside of the blowout game 2, MacKinnon has had 12 or more shot attempts in every game this series.
The Penguins have not played host to an NHL-All Star Game since Mario Lemieux's MVP performance at Civic Arena in 1990.
He also dominated All-Star games, winning the third of his MVPs in front of a raucous, partisan Pittsburgh crowd in 1990. Crosby has three years remaining on his contract and has not said if he prefers to play after it expires. Though still a minority owner with a half-percentage share, Lemieux remains the Penguins’ chairman. Lemieux is the Penguins’ leader in goals, assists and points. The Penguins’ franchise-record home sellout streak ended early this past season. Landing an All-Star Game would likely boost season-ticket sales, which have taken a slight hit during the COVID-19 pandemic.
