Have you got a fantastic feeling about a player going into the second round of the NHL playoffs? You’re able to profit on that instinct if you are prepared to wager a few dollars as a few novels have chucked up some individual participant props.
I’ve picked through the lot and broken down my two favorite OVER/UNDER player point props from BetOnline:
Alex Ovechkin OVER/UNDER 5.5 PointsMost consider him to be the best finisher of his creation and for all the goals he has scored, Alex Ovechkin hasn’t buried the one he’s been shooting for ever since he entered the NHL in 2005 and that is beating Sidney Crosby from the playoffs.
BetOnline has set Ovi’s O/U point total for the Caps’ series with the Penguins at 5.5 and that I feel that the Great 8 eclipses this complete readily. The Russian sniper has never been more inspired to beat his Canadian rival and with the clock ticking, his period to beat Crosby and finally progress to the conference finals is running out.
No. 8 had just three points (all goals) in six matches against the Leafs in Round 1 but he also ran into a hot goaltender at Freddy Andersen. Ovi scored on just 10.7 percent of his shots but I expect that number to move way up against Marc-Andre Fleury.
Ovi had five points in four games against the Pens in the regular season and also Fleury and Matt Murray both making save percentages under .900 in these four matches, Ovechkin could be served into an abysmal buffet within this best-of-seven. Leon Draisaitl OVER/UNDER 5.5 PointsLeon Draisaitl, the German wunderkind, is likely going to be the most crucial player in the Oilers’ Round two matchup with the Ducks — win or lose. Draisaitl, like Ovechkin, had only three points in the first round but it was only when he was paired up with Connor McDavid his game-breaking ability shone through.
With McDavid likely restricted by a matchup with Ryan Kesler, Draisaitl ought to have a ton of open ice to utilize and I suspect that translates to some beer stein full of points — take the OVER.
Leon had six goals and eight points in just five matches against the Ducks in the regular year and that he overcome Anaheim goaltending on 40 per cent of his shots. It’s easy to forget just how great this European feeling is when he is living in the shadow of a celebrity like McDavid.
