Stars vs. Blue Jackets Preview
Over the last ten games, Thomas Harley has averaged 4.3 shot attempts per game and a team-high 25:23 of time on ice. Though he's not produced much offense yet this season, the 25-year-old has hit the 15-goal mark twice in his career and is capable of chipping in offensively.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have allowed 27.24 shots against per game this season and 8.2 shots against per game to defenders over the last ten games.
Even if Miro Heiskanen (day-to-day) does play in Thursday's matchup, a price of -120 for Harley to record two shots looks solid, but if Heiskanen were to sit, a price of -120 becomes a slam dunk.
Best Bet: Thomas Harley Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (-120, bet365)
