Panthers vs. Kings Preview
Action PRO projects Brandt Clarke for 2.07 shots on goal against the Panthers, giving us the largest edge in this matchup at 13.6% when compared against the market for his prop line of over/under 1.5 and the current best vig.
Our system has tagged this pick with a B+ grade, backing the over.
The season has only just begun, but the Kings defenseman has already shown some encouraging shot volume. After recording just one shot on goal in his season debut vs the Avalanche, Clarke responded with five SOGs in his next game against the Sharks to comfortably clear this line.
Across 82 full games last season, Clarke racked up 159 total shots on goal, establishing a reliable floor that consistently put pressure on opposing netminders.
He's yet to score this season, but has already contributed two assists through his first two games. Florida presents a tough matchup on paper, yet their aggressive defensive style often leaves space near the blue line.
Trust the high projection edge and back Clarke to register at least two shots against the Panthers.
Best Bet: Brandt Clarke Over 1.5 Shots on Goal (+110)
