We have 10 games to look forward to on Thursday night, which means there is plenty of value on the board.
Let's zero in on three of my favorite shot totals to attack.
Teuvo Teravainen over 2.5 shots (-103)
Teravainen has cooled down a little bit, but his home numbers remain remarkably strong. He has registered at least three shots in 21 of 33 games in Carolina, good for a 64% success rate.
One of those home dates came against these same Buffalo Sabres. Unsurprisingly, it was a successful night at the office; Teravainen generated four shots on target.
The Sabres have tightened up defensively since that meeting but can still be targeted with shots. The Hurricanes generated 34 against them just a few days ago. I expect Carolina will hover around that number again in this game, which should be more than enough volume for Teravainen to come through.
Josh Norris over 2.5 shots (-139)
Norris has hit another level since Drake Batherson returned to the Ottawa Senators' lineup. He has registered at least three shots on goal in five consecutive games, averaging 7.2 attempts per contest. That's well above his season average of 4.7.
One of those five hits came against the Nashville Predators, and it's no coincidence. The Preds have struggled mightily against centers of late, allowing 11.31 shots per game to the position since March 1. Only the Montreal Canadiens, Arizona Coyotes, San Jose Sharks, and Detroit Red Wings have fared worse during that period.
Look for Norris to stay hot at home and extend his streak to six.
Anze Kopitar over 2.5 shots (+100)
Kopitar and home shots go together like burgers and fries. They're a truly wonderful combo.
The Los Angeles Kings captain has been money at home all season, generating three or more shots in 24 of 37 games (65%). Of late, he's hit against the Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers, so it's not as if he has just picked on the weak.
If you're worried about how well the Edmonton Oilers are playing, fear not. Kopitar has gone up against the Oilers three times this season; he totaled 11 shots and went over his total in each contest.
With the Kings in the thick of a heated playoff race, they're really leaning on Kopitar in close and important games. This one definitely profiles as such, so a few extra shifts could be heading Kopitar's way, making him an even more attractive option at +100.
