Panthers vs. Blue Jackets Preview, Prediction
Action PRO projects Panthers left wing Matthew Tkachuk for 2.64 shots on goal tonight, a nice 8.4% edge against the market when compared to his 3.5 line.
He has gone under this line in four of his last five games, with totals of 3, 3, 3 and 2 in those games.
On the road, Tkachuk is averaging 2.71 shots on goal this season, and has 2.5 per game in his past two contests.
You can fade him tonight to go under his SOG line against Columbus.
Best Bet: Matthew Tkachuk Under 3.5 Shots on Goal (-180, bet365)
