Goal scorer pick: Seth Jarvis (+190)
It’s been a quiet postseason for Carolina Hurricanes star winger Seth Jarvis, with a single goal through eight games. The underlying numbers are promising for the three-time, 30-goal scorer, though.
Jarvis has recorded a respectable 1.96 expected goals and eight high-danger scoring chances this postseason, and his 5.6 shooting percentage is well below the 14.3% mark he posted during the regular season.
Goal scorer pick: Andrei Svechnikov (+195)
The goals are coming for Carolina winger Andrei Svechnikov.
He’s been held to a single tally through eight playoff games despite generating an impressive 3.67 ixG, 32 scoring chances, and 12 iHDSC. His 3.9 SH% is also miles below his 12.7% mark across the past four regular seasons.
Goal scorer pick: Juraj Slafkovsky (+230)
Montreal Canadiens winger Juraj Slafkovsky has been held to a single goal across his past 13 games despite racking up a team-high 5.64 ixG, 41 iSCF, and 20 iHDSC, so he’s a ripe candidate to find the back of the net in Game 1.
