As I predicted just under a month past, Sidney Crosby has slowed down his scoring speed — considerably. At the time of our last update, the Penguins captain was scoring on a ridiculous 23.2 percent of his shots but since then he’s scored only 3 goals on 28 shots, dropping his shooting percentage to an even 20 percent. Other men like Alex Ovechkin, Max Pacioretty and Brad Marchand have turned up the heat and have scored their way back in the goal-scoring race.
BetOnline has recognized Crosby’s cold streak and moved from his -285 odds into the +140 number where he sits. If you listened to me and place your money on Mr. Ovechkin’s +550 worth, you would better thank mepersonally. The Great 8 has scored nine times since the turn of the calendar and has set himself back in great position to earn his fifth consecutive Maurice”Rocket” Richard Trophy and his line has been corrected to +205.
Along the same lines as Ovi, we’ve got the Small Ball of Hate, Brad Marchand. Marchy is one of the most polarizing players because the likes of Sean Avery and Todd Bertuzzi roamed the ice but one thing his haters cannot deny — that the man can frigging score. He has popped 13 goals since the beginning of January and is beginning to give hope to those who followed my advice at the beginning of the year and put money on the +2500 line for Marchand to lead the league in goals. He has 23 also it seems like he’s just starting to crank up the intensity knob. A problem with gambling on the Bruins winger at the moment is that he’s one clear slew foot from a lengthy suspension. He’s gotten away with two iffy ones at the previous two weeks but a third might have him watching the action in the media box.
And we have Max Pacioretty of the Montreal Canadiens. Patches had an incredibly bad start to his year, scoring just five goals in his first 24 games, but has since bulged the twine 19 occasions with 2 hat-trick performances. Max has had to step up with many of the Habs’ first-choice wingers going down with injury and he’s benefited immensely in the re-emergence of Alexander Radulov. The two have combined to give a huge chunk of Montreal’s crime and the majority of Patches’ goals this year have come from Rad-Dad helpers.
Additionally pitching their proverbial hats in the race are rookies Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine, who are neck and neck at the Calder Trophy conversation. They’ve 23 goals apiece and have surprised many with their NHL readiness. Laine is offering more worth at +1600, despite enjoying fewer games than the guy who travelled one spot ahead of him in the 2016 draft and that makes zero sense. The Finn has already proved he’s the more natural goal scorer of both and is beyond a shadow of a doubt going to be a 50-a-year guy for the rest of his career.
