Pick - Prop
Mikko Rantanen o2.5 Shots on Goal (-105)
Best Odds
-105
-105
Rantanen is putting on a postseason clinic and has recorded three or more shots in six of eight postseason games to rank in the 99th percentile of forwards in shots on goal. He also paces Dallas in both shots (29) and attempts (48) through eight playoff games and remains a go-to shooter on the No. 1 power-play unit while averaging 3:19 per night with the man advantage. Additionally, I also value that he and countrymen Roope Hintz and Mikael Granlund were able to tilt the ice in their favor at five-on-five in Game 1 against the Jets. The Dallas top line finished with a 54.3 Corsi For percentage and 57.1% shot share after recording respective 43.3% and 45.5% marks against the Colorado Avalanche in Round 1.
