Jets vs. Canadiens Betting Analysis, Best Bet
By Dana Forden
Juraj Slafkovsky has fewer than 1.5 shots in 11 out of 25 games for Montreal this season, and I think there are more reasons for pessimism tonight against the Jets.
For roughly the first 19 games, the Canadiens left winger was on the top line, where he had 42 shots and 84 attempted shots, but in the past six games, he has only had 8 shots and 17 attempted shots while on the second line.
Those early shot totals were a big increase from last season, where he only averaged 1.7 shots a game and was held without multiple shots in 44 out of 79 games.
Best Bet: Juraj Slafkovsky Under 1.5 Shots On Goal (+130, bet365)
