USA vs. Denmark Preview
The US dominated their opening contest, winning 5-1 over Latvia.
Veteran Brock Nelson led the United States with a pair of goals.
Denmark lost their opener 3-1 against Germany.
The Denmark roster is headlined by Lars Eller (Ottawa Senators) and Nikolaj Ehlers (Carolina Hurricanes).
Leg 1: Under 6.5
The United States defense was outstanding in their opener.
I expect the United States defense to be dominant again in this matchup.
Denmark struggled to generate offense against Germany and faces a taller task in this matchup.
On the other side, Denmark has Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen, who will limit the United States production in this matchup.
Leg 2: Lars Eller 2+ SOG
Eller is one of Denmark's best offensive players.
I expect Eller to see high usage in this matchup, which will bode well for this prop.
Eller will be one of the top options for Denmark on the power play and should earn multiple opportunities in this matchup to cash this prop.
The 37-year-old had four shots on goal in Denmark's first game.
