What cashed

ALT: Vasily Podkolzin 1+ points (+100 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Podkolzin had cleared 1+ points in 7 of his last 10 games and 13 of his last 20. At +100 the price implied 50%, against roughly 65% from his recent games. - What happened: He opened the scoring with an even-strength deflection at 6:10 of the 1st, set up by Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid. That goal was his only point (1 G, 0 A), clearing the line by 0.5. He also logged 21:37 of ice time, 3:32 on the power play and 5 hits. - Worth watching: With 21:37 of ice time and 3:32 on the power play, he is getting real minutes. At even money or better, the 1+ points angle stays worth a look.

Lucas Raymond 2+ shots on goal (-295 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Raymond had 2+ shots in 9 of his last 10 and 10 of 11 this season, averaging 3.2 shots over that stretch (3.7 over his last 3), with a top-six and PP1 role against Jarry in the Edmonton net. - What happened: He put 3 shots on goal, 1.5 over the line, with the second and third both coming in the 2nd period (8:16 and 17:57). He also set up Viktor Arvidsson's power-play goal at 8:35 of the 2nd and Larkin's tying goal at 18:43 of the 3rd, finishing with 2 assists in 21:12 of ice time (3:43 on the power play). Then he scored the only shootout goal, which does not count toward his shot or goal totals. - Worth watching: Steady volume plus PP1 minutes is the profile we want for this prop. The price is the catch: at -295 there is little room, and we would pass past -310.

Leon Draisaitl 3+ shots on goal (-185 at DraftKings): CASHED - Our read: Draisaitl had 3+ shots in 4 of his last 5, 8 of his last 10 and 9 of 11 this season, and he was not on Edmonton's injury list. - What happened: He landed exactly 3 shots on goal, 0.5 over the line: a wrist shot at 4:01 of the 1st, a backhand at 0:30 of the 2nd and a wrist shot at 12:51 of the 3rd, all stopped by Postava. He added the first assist on Podkolzin's opener and played 25:10, including 5:00 on the power play. - Worth watching: 25:10 of ice time and a full 5:00 on the power play give him the minutes to get there. This one cleared with no room to spare, so the price matters on 3+.
