My choice of Devils
Connor Zary Over 1.5 shots (-160 to BET99)

My analysis of the Devils

Calgary Flames winger Connor Zary is quickly establishing itself as a key contributor and building block for the future. The 2020 first-round selection has bounced around the lineup, with Flames head coach Ryan Huska keeping his line combos in the blender to start the season, but it hasn’t had an impact on draft volume. shots from Zary.

Zary’s posted a respectable 8.01 shots and 15.68 attempts per 60 minutes to record two or more shots in eight of 10 games this season. Additionally, while Calgary boasts a Corsi For percentage of 47.0 at 5-on-5 in 26th place, Zary ranks fourth with a CF percentage of 50.0 at 5-on-5 while logging the fourth-highest time of ice per game (17:59) among Flames Forward.

This clearly illustrates his acclimation to the highest level, and Zary has shown similar growth in his shot volume during his past stops in the AHL and WHL. He averaged 1.6 shots per game in his first full AHL season and jumped to 2.5 in his second. Likewise, he averaged 2.4 per game in his first WHL run, then jumped to 3.6 per game in his second.

THE New Jersey Devils were one of the best possession teams in the NHL, and they are heading back in that direction with a 59.0 CF% success rate and 19.32 shots allowed per 60 over their last two games. This sets the Devils up for a slight slide, as these marks are almost guaranteed to regress closer to their season marks of 51.1% and 27.08.

I targeted Zary in the shots market because he’s a tween right now and should probably trade at a 2.5 shots total with plus-money odds. In addition to the 60 metrics noted, he also averages 2.4 shots and 4.7 attempts per game.

Paying the hefty charge isn’t for everyone, but there’s still value in that diminished total, based on my projection that he would finish with 2.4 shots tonight. Additionally, I will continue to support Zary as long as he continues to receive top minutes and keep the shots and attempts up.
