SUBSCRIBE TODAYThe Penguins’ captain is officially streaking, eclipsing the 4+ shots on goal mark in 5 straight games.
We’re getting +140 odds on him to do it again in a favorable matchup (Canadiens allow 6th most shots overall; 3rd most to forwards).
The old $FML would be foaming at the mouth, ready to hammer that over. Why am I skeptical?
I leaned into this exercise hoping to find support for Crosby over 3.5 shots @ +140. Funny enough, my analysis drew the opposite conclusion. While I don’t have the cajónes needed to back the Under with hard-earned cash, I feel there’s a ton of support for it tonight. His average shot attempts are at a 6-year high; last 3-games accuracy is through the roof; and both measures are due for statistical regression at a time when he’s facing the team that blocks the 3rd most shots.
He also goes under 66% at home in the last 2 seasons but covered in 4 straight. He’s cashed in 5 straight overall, which is great, but he hasn’t achieved a 6-game streak in nearly 5 years. Perhaps my penning this article is just what the doctor ordered for him to get over the hump? That would be really funny honestly, and I won’t be surprised if it happens.
Bottom line: No bet recommendation from me either way, but I hope you enjoyed the analysis, and I’m excited to see what happens!
